Good fucking grief. If this Trump administration doesn’t jump the shark with Christians I don’t know what will.
Truly reprehensibly manipulative tool
People are stupid, mankind is fucked if I am one of the smartest of the lot!
Remind me again about the charismatic leader in the bible that comes to power. How did that end?
i mean, King David did pretty well for himself

Fair enough. A few parallels there. Pretty sure he grabbed 'em by things as well. Then along comes the anti christ to really move things along. Their denial of global warming all makes sense now. Just warming up the room for us...
I had a really vivid dream that Obama was actually the antichrist right after his 08 election. Like vivid enough that I walked around for a couple of days wondering if God was trying to talk to me.
pretty good perspective piece on the apocalyptic siege mentality of the religious right, and why it is nonsensical. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/06/opinion/sunday/trump-christian-conservatives.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage Not that anyone who needs to read it will.

Millennials have earned a reputation for reshaping industries and institutions — shaking up the workplace, transforming dating culture, and rethinking parenthood. They’ve also had a dramatic impact on American religious life. Four in ten millennials now say they are religiously unaffiliated, according to the Pew Research Center. In fact, millennials (those between the ages of 23 and 38) are now almost as likely to say they have no religion as they are to identify as Christian. 1
For years, the Christian conservative movement has warned about a tide of rising secularism, but research has suggested that the strong association between religion and the Republican Party may actually be fueling this divide.
Luke Olliff, a 30-year-old man living in Atlanta, says that he and his wife gradually shed their religious affiliations together. “My family thinks she convinced me to stop going to church and her family thinks I was the one who convinced her,” he said. “But really it was mutual. We moved to a city and talked a lot about how we came to see all of this negativity from people who were highly religious and increasingly didn’t want a part in it.” This view is common among young people. A majority (57 percent) of millennials agree that religious people are generally less tolerant of others, compared to only 37 percent of Baby Boomers.
I'm good but I hope this finds it's way to my mother.
