[font size=3]Actor and comedian John Cleese issued a hilariously scathing indictment of U.S. conservatism on Twitter Friday, managing to zing President Donald Trump, global climate change deniers and hypocritical Christians in one tweet.

“I’m beginning to think that in America, a Conservative Christian is one who thinks the Beatitudes are a Chinese hoax,” he wrote.

3. I have a few in my family.

You can't reason with them. And since Trump, you can barely talk to them.

4. No Joke. I've been avoiding many in my family too. It's like talking to cult members.

7. Weapons-grade stupidity.

It's the defining characteristic of fundies, along with a closed mind.

10. Yep. Plutonium poisoning, maybe

6. Shit.

What's a beatitude?

[Lucky Luciano]

8. I have a permanent ban on all religion...I too had to look it up!

Though I did know roughly it had something to do with the Bible.

11. From the article:

… Together, the Beatitudes present a new set of ideals that focus on love and humility rather than force and exaction. They echo the highest ideals of Jesus' teachings on spirituality and compassion.
