They have their own rather twisted reality and narrative to support it.

Don’t look for the logic, you will just hurt your head.

Thing is, do they care? They’ve shown the ability to turn a blind eye toward all other transgressions; why not blasphemy? As long as rump is doing things they like, they don’t GAF.

Woke up the entire neighborhood. All my kids are up now.

With Jesus 2020 signs.

I don't know if that means they aren't voting for Trump or if this is code for Trump...but they don't want his sign in the yard.

I think as we address the climate crisis, we also have to take on the heavy handed imposition of one's religious beliefs that has become part of mainstream politics. It needs to end. These people are really a threat to religious freedom. Their heavy handed beliefs don't allow room for other religions with different beliefs. Which is why the crazy puritans left England.
