    I’m so tired of these people. I expect them to get even more radicalized as their numbers continue to decline.

    If they just kept their bullshit beliefs to themselves, it’d be one thing. But not one of them can even follow the rules in “the” bible, and “the” bible tells them to keep it in the closet. These same ding-a-lings that claim to love “the” bible so much (but I guess haven’t read it) also claim they love the Constitution of a SECULAR nation, too. Go figure.

    Not one of these people are satisfied with keeping the rules from their little book club to themselves. In a secular nation, those rules from their book club are for them and them alone, not for people that don’t want to participate. But these people are evil and sick and stupid and apparently the rest of us cannot have nice things…

      They love fancy words written on parchment. It doesn’t seem to matter too much what the specific words are, as long as the words mean that they are special. But you’re right, they never read, or at least understand, the documents they worship.

      And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you - Matthew 6:5-6

      They are truly hypocrites. Also,

      Other commentators have said that the rhetoric calling for physical violence is anti-biblical and should be denounced.

      Physical violence is anti-Biblical? More proof they haven’t read the thing or understood it if they have.

      This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I witnessed what the Amalekites did to the Israelites when they ambushed them on their way up from Egypt. Now go and attack the Amalekites and devote to destruction all that belongs to them. Do not spare them, but put to death men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” - Samuel 15:2-3

      Yeah, sure, the Bible is anti-violence. 🙄
