"People like to use these voices as bludgeons to force other to do their own will. When they prove to me it's a god then maybe I'll listen to their rantings."

I think I will take a pass on my xtian neighbors needing me to conform. I will however keep my powder dry and my, well, you get my point.

That long distance stare whenever a maga-zombie speaks of their god and some revelation they had about 'topic of the day', as if they are looking at that shadow god holding up cue cards, regurgitating whatever dribble they heard and processed during their daily upload of "xtian conservative republican talking points" after filling their brain with Reich-wing propaganda.

THAT. All I need to see...crazy is as crazy be.
