Twitter is taking Joel Osteen to the woodshed. Here are some of my faves.

131. I share your journey

Being brought up in a Christian fundie household. One of my 'favorite' excuses is: Its all in God's great plan that we are too small and stupid to see. That so much more good will come out of tragedy like this than bad....in the long run. (that only our Dear Saviour can see and has planned)

One of the last straws for me was my father, a decent kind person who was a devout Christian his whole life, never smoked or drank a drop of liquor, develop a form of Alzheimers not long after finally retiring. This was God's reward for his faithful dedication. And robbing my mother of the love of her life just as they would have been able to enjoy their twilight years together. And on the other hand, at the time, watching a fake Christian like W Bush fleecing so many with lies, and being rewarded with his part in the looting of Iraq. And being supported by the evangelical community in the US, completely blinded and hoodwinked as they are being now by even Trump, someone who is the antithesis of everything that is Christ like. Any group that can be so easily duped and led around by the nose by any charlatan has to be not only a cult but a dangerous one.
