@athepedia So, *I* believe that.

But ...

#Religious beliefs come in two flavors (and I say this as a religious person).

(1) This is what I need to do in my own personal journey toward salvations and placating my deity.

(2) This is what I need to do to placate my deity against destroying my nation.

From a #Christian context, for all that (1) is what the New Testament is all about, there are still a hella lot of (2) adherents amongst the #Christianist community.

▶️ #PatRobertson died believing (or said he believed) he'd be meeting St. Peter right about now.

#God has long had other plans for the #Christianist hatemonger and scammer.

Mr. 700 Club has been placed in a purpose-built box with the #PaulaWhite cat #meme playing on a loop. For eternity.

Because God hates bigots.

Will #RonDeSantis stand tough against the #authoritarian and #racist strong-man regime of #Israel?

Ha. No, of course not. He'll truckle to local #autocrat #Netanyahu (in hopes Israeli Intel goons will intervene on his behalf), cater to the #Christianist extremists of the US by supporting the Homeland of the End Times, and make yet a bigger ass of himself internationally than he is domestically.

▶️ #Christianist #bigot #MikePence made #homophobic "jokes" about #PeteButtiegieg at a speech Sunday night. "Maternity leave" and "Postpartum depression" jabs.

#Buttigieg dragged #bigot Pence in 2019:

“If me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade. And that’s the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand: that if you’ve got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.”
