WTAF? Mike Pompeo - "We'll Continue to Fight These Battles...Until the Rapture!"

What fresh Hell is this? The Secretary of State is a Rapture-breathing fundamentalist? Jebus Crust! I can't even believe it, but there he is, saying such a thing. Mike Pompeo Has FAITH in This Nonsense. So, it must be true, right? We're all freaking doomed! If faith is evidence, the world is falling apart around us. Guillaumeb? What do you have to say?

Hey, face it.

When people said "they are both the same" "I just cant trust her" "she gave speeches"

our fate was sealed...we may get rid of them but we will never fully recover, I would love a discussion about THAT

Recurring event throughout history... Religious persecution works 2 ways! I feel that, as a non- believer, I am being persecuted by the magical and fantastical beliefs of religious zealots that have come to power...

Religious persecution could mean the purging from society of religious zealots - or the other kind of religious persecution in which secular, sensible people are forced to swallow the religious doctrines and practices of the religious zealots!

Bunch of fundies! That's who's running things now. We really have to fix that. It is a clear and present danger, without any question.

There's a list as long as your arm of goofy shit they believe.

They all believe some of it, and some of them believe all of it.
