Whenever someone does an atrocity thinking they are God’s chosen people, their opposition says that’s not what God’s chosen people would do
This proves that most people have not read the book about God’s chosen people
If they had, they would know this kind of behavior was the whole point all along

Our pastor once used what mom told him in confidence against her in a sermon
Then, I saw only through a glass darkly, but now I know for sure
Any pastor who speaks down on women to make a point is below the standard of gentlemen in the 19th century
And I know they’ve been doing it since the Bible
It shields them from accountability as it shielded their forbears before them and it holds responsible only their opposition
The Justice Department is charging @splcenter.org with financial crimes and crimes against Christianity
because they report on hate crimes and crimes against humanity
And this picture is all that needs to be said about that
Back when Christian men could get a job and afford to have a family
whenever that was
was the economy Christian or was it liberal?
Supporting human freedom means opposing imperialism wherever it exists
The only way an American can do that honestly is to oppose American imperialism also
That means we need to get out of the Middle East, cut ties with Isreal, and, finally, stop acting like an empire in the Americas
Baby Christians must have done the crusades
In his opinion, baby Christians can bomb girls’ schools as long as no one there was a Christian at the time
A few other people were hurt as well
Hurting several innocent people while missing the main target was always the most likely outcome of this operation
To me, that makes a conspiracy less likely
It’s more likely that one crazy person thought this would be a good idea than that a whole team did
I don’t believe it was fake
If it was staged, more likely it was Vance
If Trump had known about it beforehand, the first look on his face would have been the second
Certainly he was taken by surprise, and certainly he would never have put himself in the way of live rounds on purpose
Men are investing in the most useless knowledge
Promote my content to do something about it
Unfortunately these words have almost never been applied to people who deserved them
Yes, but it gets much worse
It is
Literature has character
Character is destiny
And when you worship the literature, its character becomes you
Imagine Spain telling Israel to stop the crusade and inquisition
When you worship sword mouth Jesus, it’s easy to be confused by Trump
No one wants their religion to be responsible for every contradiction between all the others
But most religions still want to present themselves as theories of everything
The idea of non-overlapping magisteria between fact and faith is nonsense to anyone who believes faith and fact are connected

Highlights from Robert Green Ingersoll’s 1890 ‘Reply to Bishop Spalding’
If I’m not mistaken, John Lancaster Spalding, first Bishop of Peoria, IL
The Bishop wanted God in the Constitution
He knew religion was divisive in the time of the Founders, but he thought in his day it would unify
When POTUS says the Pope is weak on crime, he is at his most historically knowledgeable
Popes used to be much ‘stronger’ on crime
Church used to be judge, jury & executioner
Pope Bob knows better because his knowledge is deeper and he’s not a psychopath

Ah, excellent, I probably worked myself up over nothing
Do you think so?
That’s because you know there’s an alternative
But if you’d grown up under a dictator, there would be nothing else besides your belief that dictatorship is the natural state of existence
Basically
Today Trump posted a picture of Jesus loving him
I just want to remind everyone, according to Christianity, he can do whatever he wants, and only God can judge him
I’m not saying all Christians believe that
I know they don’t
But the New Testament says dictators are installed by God
All of them
