I grew up in this atmosphere. This is their immovable thinking toward everything.
It’s a mindset that can not be reasoned with.
They feel that they are doing the Lords work.
They feel that “trumps” any other thinking or rationale.
And, since Their God can never be proven or disproven, there’s nowhere to argue or compromise with them.

history and I'm sick and tired of these idiots doing so, based upon zero evidence. No more. Their religious brothers in arms in the past are guilty of genocide, massive genocide. Those alive today are spreading the same nonsense garbage.

As an enlightened society for the most part, we will NOT go back to the dark ages. We will not fall into the trap of ignorance that those such as SHS and her father has fell into. Belief in goodness and kindness does not mean that I am also bigoted and cruel towards those who do not fit into the pegboard of life.

And people wonder why church attendance numbers are going down big time? Look at her. Gutter mouth to the extreme. Despite clear evidence to the contrary, she passes along rump lies and mistruths as though they belong to her. She's as guilty as rump is, and will forever be judged so.

They are simply bullies and need to be taken down a step or two.

Personally, I think that they all should be indicted for murder and crimes against humanity if need be. We'll judge them using facts and evidence, clear to all. Their evidence? What evidence? No one can see their evidence. But all of us can see how they are interpreting words out of a book according to their own desire, and using those words (that they alone came up with), to justify all sorts of crimes. Nice!

What other profession can claim to do this?

My parents weren't zealots but their immediate family were, in several religions though I was mostly exposed to the xtians. They are brainwashed and only a small number of them can be brought to reality.

Part of why they cling to this rationale is that they are so frightened of the world they cannot control that the only way to be able to go forth is to believe there is a big sky daddy protecting them from harm. Rather than investigate and/or accept that there is some other rationale besides their own.

This sky daddy also lets them fashion what they "believe" he is about to fit their ambitions of control and they back up their arguments using a vague, ancient text that has slowly been refashioned and reinterpreted to fit their ambitions for control of their environment and the lives of others. Unfortunately, this serves only to justify their ill will and hatred which is born of the desire to have ultimate control of their environment and the lives of others.

Works perfectly for folks like Sara Hucka boo boo Slanders. That apple is still attached to the damned tree in this case.

"Lying by nature" isn't a thing. There is nothing that's gotten hold of Trumpy's brain, causing him to lie with impunity. He's not an uncontrollable liar, even though it benefits him to blame some unknown force for causing it. Trumpy is simply the worst there ever was by his own volition. He is dedicated and determined to disregard any and all social and moral limitations in the service of self-gratification, power enhancement, and riches. HE MAKES THIS CHOICE with every breath he takes. He has no business being in charge of any thing or any one. He will destroy everything not for his benefit.

He's merely pointing out that he's been a pathological liar all of his life, but sanders does it for a paycheck. there's a difference.

Even if he's a psychopath he can choose not to follow the traits of his deficiency by social association. Most do.

Frank later realized what was happening and has spent most of the rest of his life trying to make this known and alleviate some of the harm his parents (mostly his father--he made many influential films, often played today in churches and at conferences) did.

Frank has several YouTube videos exposing the Religious Right.

and no one, or very few listened. He came out of that cult and his father Francis was one of the leading pioneers. Frank has posted tons of videos online and it is well worth viewing through the archive. What we are seeing is not new, it has been in the works for years, decades even.

but she's also about as mean and nasty a person as I've ever seen in public. She seems to truly hate everyone she deals with, and that utterly dour look that comes pouring out of her black soul is a symptom of the inner contempt she feels constantly.

She is awful in every way. I look forward to her being shunned from polite society. It will happen sooner or later, as she's not all that bright to begin with.

Ugh. She really is a person who is so ugly on the inside that it dominates her entire vibe.
