Biblical Jesus is true than he was a black man but the swallowed Kirks racist Gish gallop jibberish.

A friend whose now-ex-husband was a Methodist minister told us of a member of his congregation who did not approve of foreign languages being taught in American schools. His rationale - "If English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me."
What do you even say to someone as hopelessly ignorant as that?

(4,611 posts)They are supporting local, state, and national Democratic candidates. They struggle to buy signs, put on fundraisers, pay their rent and utilities. They are mostly manned by hard working volunteers who worry about party finances like most of us worry about rent and insurance payments. You will learn a lot about candidates from the local party and that will help you decide which candidate fundraisers are worth your time and money.

(13,161 posts)It was sickening hearing thousands were there.
The Fat Man did not even show up. No separation of Church and State, the damn Church IS the State. And the biggest fake ass Christian pukes like Moses Mike, Haqueseth and Rubio sure as hell were front and center.
And God allowed it.
So now our house in catering to the Jones and the Waco factions of religion. When does the snake handlers show up? Maybe take a few out.
When we take it all back can we have a WH Catered attack on the 2nd Amendment, a Jamboree, at Our House?
Good guy with a gun at the Islamic Center.
When the right wing terrorist are not raping children, they use em As targets for their big guns. Egged on by the White Nationalist Christians in charge.
With the abuse of the first two amendments, why the hell would we hope the others will save us from the gettin Great takeover?

(27,771 posts)Saw some items about a woman named Cristina Gutiérrez in Spain who drove in the Dakar Rally in Spain.
Spain's Cristina Gutiérrez is the second woman ever to win the Dakar Rally after victory in the Challenger class in 2024 and now she's chasing Car glory.

So we're stuck with these idgits, since obviously their god decided they weren't ready to be raptured.

(114,671 posts)instead of turning up, many if not most of them didn't show up, either.
It's either that or the heretical prosperity gospel/fundagelical movements have finally run their course and are no longer being supported by enough people to keep them going.

(22,881 posts)I guess this county is still redder than I realized. I'm down in the southeastern corner (Crystal Lake), which I think(?) Is a little more purple.
I guess this is what I get for hiding out from the news the way I've been doing. Need to do a better job of at least be following what's happening locally. The source you linked to looks like a good place to start.

AverageOldGuy
(4,164 posts)Trump owns several golf resorts and golf courses, one of which is in Sterling VA, just outside DC.
He returned from China, changed his diapers, threw some ketchup on the wall, admired his ballroom, then headed out in a motorcade to the Sterling golf course where he spent most of the day Sunday. Did not stop by the "christians," did not send them a recorded video, just headed for the golf course. Exactly what Jesus would have done -- right???
NOTE: If I seem a bit pissed off and not my usual jovial self, it's because I've just been on the phone for an hour wrangling over a prescription my wife must have. The mail-order company to whom our doc sent the script is owned by assholes, all the people on the phone are assholes. Thank God we have a Walgreens 5 minutes away; they called, had the script transferred to them, and we are good. I LOVE THE AMERICAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
