My own research says that being a member of the Republican Party can damage your soul.

We must be using different research references............

It seems that being a member of the Republican and being a member of a cult mean exactly the same thing.

attendies who want to see him run in 2024. Or something like that. I would guess the cult numbers are greater for the republicans out there in the public though. Even though people like Pence ot Mitch are not in the cult then bend to it which is soul destroying. Before that Republicans in the know just exploited the average american. That is pretty soul destroying too.

how many of the 55% wants to see him win. I'm certain that there are at least a few in that midst that would enjoy watching Trump be humiliated and defeated.

say psychopaths know the words but not the music. Your soul is sold if you lose the integrity of your music.

“ Soul
In scripture, the term soul is often used as a synonym for spirit. Soul is used to describe a person in premortal life—before birth. During earth life, the soul is joined with a physical body. At death, the soul leaves the body and goes to the spirit world to await resurrection. In the Resurrection, the body and soul are inseparably connected.”

Didn’t you ever wonder why super heroes all wear masks? They sold their souls. Reading comics is a path to evil. QED.

Consider this the sarcasm sign.

I wouldn’t trust someone like her to defrost ice. Did her constituents elect her just so she’d spend more time is Boise instead of where ever she is from?

but isn’t that just leading them into a life of dependency and liberalism? Are they just playing a long game?

I hope it’s clear I’m just joking. It didn’t seem like a far stretch from thinking that masks steal your soul to the conclusion that super heroes are evil. Here’s an official sarcasm thingie.

to read that she drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra.

Bras are nefarious, not just your soul is at stake.

St. Anthony is the location of Idaho’s only prison for youthful offenders.

I also looked up this legislator on the Idaho Legislature’s website. She was first elected in 2016. In 2018 she was voted out...then last November she was voted back in. It doesn’t say who the legislator in the 2019-20 session was, but that person must have been a real disaster. We can predict she is a Mormon because (1) St. Anthony is part of North Utah; she went to a college that has a 99-percent Mormon student body and (3) she has the standard LDS huge flock of children.
