Is saying,” we will. Fight to the Rapture!”

The crazies are in charge. You look at the fat,pompous ass, he could not fight his way out of a paper bag.

Reminds me of sitting in a Southern Baptist Church after attending the Southern Baptist Convention that was in a huge fight over trying to change the Church slapping his chest saying,” My side won!” Meaning his Right Wing,bigoted side.

I left that Church and a lot of friends.

Couple of years later at the Convention they dumped the old Leader, who was accused of molestation of young girls, brought in new Leadership. The old Pastor is gone,too. A young,new one took over.

But me,I am happy in a small Church that preaches Inclusion and love of fellow man.
