Let them eat their own through infighting. No tears.

GOD is shaking his or her head in disgust.

... the "I didn't know the leopards would eat my face" issue. Either way, I'm kinda OK with it being the Joker's "You get what you f*cking deserve."

Sounds like a lot of racism going on.

Peace

How fitting for those who live by self fulfilling prophesies.

Blowback.

state rep facing rape charges. He's tall good looking dude that I think might be seeing a private jet in his future.

He posted some big long article for a Christian publication rationalizing their support for the former guy. It was mostly the god choosing imperfect men bullshit, aimed at making them feel okay about it because they got their judges.

His name is Mark Trigstead. I played football with hi in high school. He was our QB, and went to West Point. He looked to be on track to be their starting QB, but washed out for some reason. I think he went and got him religion right after whatever ruined his Army career. It must have been bad, because how well he is known and how many people I know that know him, and no one knows what it was or has ever said.

There's a hell of a lot of old poor peoples grocery money to be had out there.

Yup. But Trump and Trumpism have weaponized meanness, and evangelical Christians have given meanness the imprimatur of godliness.

Anybody who's been around churches at all knows that they are infested with holier-than-thou busybodies who insist that they're doing God's will when they complain that Mrs. Nelson has never done her fair share of work at the bake sale and she should be kicked off the committee and that we should be using the old blue hymnals and not the new red ones because they aren't scriptural; and people get crazy mad about such things. But the fundies have gone completely hateful, like rabid wolverines, to the point where they are gutting their own congregations - which is fine with me.

{snicker}

about the other side of the Evangelicals, pastors who have left Evangelical Churches (or in some cases been thrown out, the way John Pavlovitz was) and have begun their own movement. It was really enlightening. If it's still there today I will post it. Apparently their churches are doing well.

Is about social control. At least the three so-called Abrahamic faiths are.

Which brings us to this:

When you mix religion and politics you get politics.

Can fleece the flock for only so much using politics, but religion and belief in that invisible God is a forever shearing.

Threatened of a Tax free ending for their black racism. Now any black dumb enough to believe in that cult is welcomed, actually recruited like a black at a Trump KKKlan jamboree. Optics.

that it’s now Melanin Bible Church." - From an email floating around the McLean congregation.

Well, surprise, surprise. The Reich wing movement in evangelical world is animated by what? Racism? Who could have guessed?

There's been a strong, racist undertone in evangelical world from the start. It hasn't abated one bit since the desegregation fights.

Evilgelical hypoChistians. (White Jesus folks) everybody knows Jesus was white. Look at the pictures. There is always white glass in the stained glass in churches. Gotta be real. Good AND Santa are white too. There was a big segment on Fox, proving it.

or at least complaining loudly, about their tax exemptions. Write letter to the IRS? I dunno, but somebody needs to do something because it's just become ridiculous. Maybe I should change my name to Hermetic Church and quit paying taxes?

That is their religion, whether they admit it or not. Their piety is a shroud.

“For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind." (Hosea 8 ).

But they are their own worst enemies.

...you'd think Christianity was just fine and dandy before Trump came along.

Not so much the case, though.
