Delete this if you must, but I'm just in the mood to say it. Evangelicals are fucking stupid.

Want some evidence?

Some gems:

- Lin Wood should have just presented his case to Clarence Thomas alone to avoid rejection by the Supreme Court
- "Justice" is not being served so trump and his lawyers should start arresting people.
- It's God's plan that the Supreme Court rejected the PA, WI, and Lin Wood cases because now the next step is a military court.
- It's God's plan that the Supreme Court rejected the PA, WI, and Lin Wood because now the military is going to rise up and start arresting traitors.

I always looked down, refused to look. Thought about drawing a mustache, but thought cameras. It really was a scary time to imagine that can directly affect your life.

He's the ultimate authority. Their end-times doctrine includes the expectation that Christ will come back, kill everyone they don't like, and rule the world as a dictator.

Like they didn't make it up (well, yeah, the writers of the Bible made it up, but not evangelicals). Spoilers: it's Revelations.

If the Bible made any sense, there wouldn't be so many different flavors of Christianity.

The evangelicals have as much right to their parts of the bible as the liberal christians.

whether physical (progressive structural issue) or from mental illness/dementia.

Time will tell, but damn. He was once a sane and considered quite competent attorney.

You can't make fun of Jedis, but Evangelicals of all stripes are always in season at DU, even the ones who are working tirelessly for LGBTQ+ rights, seeking social justice for all, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, and ministering to the sick and imprisoned. So bring your broadest brush and paint people you ought to recognize as allies as "fucking stupid."

Now, please enlighten me. What terrible thing is going to happen to me because I made fun of Jedis?

I knew evangelicals were not "all there" by the time I was twelve years old, growing up in the south.

I knew then the Bible wasn't something to "believe in" nor something to believe for that matter. I knew then they were straight up blind hypocrites and racists to boot. Hell, in the sixties they ranted and raged against Catholics which was funny to me. I mean they were kind of right, but still extremely hypocritical.

I'd like for more people to support the FFRF and turn away from the ridiculous and dangerous screeds and edicts of the so called "Evangelical" of the day. They're leaders are snake oil con's cult figures and the followers are unfortunately metaphorically blind to who these people are and what they're about. Referring to "leaders".

murdered protestants all over the place. All because of a few details in the Bible. I guess they forgot about "thou shalt not kill". Be careful not to give these guys too much power or they will do it again.
