    “Secretary Hegseth, along with millions of Americans, is a proud Christian,” Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson previously told The Independent.

    Isn’t pride a sin? Isn’t it, in fact, one of the big seven?

    We need the Satanic Temple to come in and lead a prayer. Watch those overtly Christian emails suddenly dry up in a flash of separation of church and state.

      Approximately 60% of US adults decided that this was the correct administration to represent the US; and realistically most people can see that the Trump admin represents the US truthfully and perfectly.

      This is simply the US laid bare with less hypocrisy.

        Yep

        Those who didn’t vote against it were perfectly happy to have it happen

        They just want to claim a moral high ground that they don’t deserve

    There was a local McDonald’s that would play worship music literally all the time. I felt bad for those employees.

        Who knows. Maybe they never bothered to check up?

        Although last I saw, the McDonald’s was shut down. Like drive thru screens were taken out and the parking lot lights were out. I think they actually started demolishing it either today or yesterday.

    Anyone remember Matthew 4:1-11, where Satan quotes Psalm 91 to tempt Jesus, highlighting that the devil is capable of quoting scripture to suit his/her/its own purpose?

      Yeah, the 14fh Amendment, Sec 3. That’s the one that says that anyone who has participated in an Insurrection is ineligible to hold office. Trump fits the description perfectly, but not one Democrats has ever suggested that it be used to keep him out of office, even though it was written precisely for psychopaths like him.

      Margaret Atwood has penned so many novels that don’t feel as much fictional as predictive anymore. Even aspects of Oryx and Crake don’t feel crazy as we head towards greater genetic capability and a food shortage.

      I’ve also recently been reading Brave New World as I kept hearing how it was ringing true lately. It was written in the 1920s long before genetics were understood, so the science is inaccurate and there are some fairly offensive scenes by today’s standards. However, the main message does seem relevant - I would not be surprised if we were headed towards a world of class-based eugenics with punishments for not following the cultural expectations.

        After you finish BNW it was also made into a limited series on one of the streaming services - Prime or Paramount+ I think. It had been forever since I read it but I think it was generally accurate.

    Soon it will be required church attendance, then maybe a signed declaration of faith.

    When these MAGAumos get their Christian Nation, I hope I can be there to see them cry, when they figure out they can’t even get softcore anymore.

      What’s weird is that they claim so loudly to be Christian, yet they don’t exemplify any of the teachings of Jesus Christ like humility, mercy, caring for others, and avoidance of greed.

      They made a whole “efficiency department” just to avoid paying a red cent to help the poor, the sick, or those affected by natural disasters. They have started faith based wars when tolerance is what their religion preaches.

      These people have picked a few lines out of the bible as a front as they to try to steer the country in the direction that pays them the most money.

    Trump made deals and he now gets a cut of the weekly donations. He’s gotta puff that shit up now because there is coin involved.
