I did not know Barr was a religious zealot. I just thought he had insane political views.

Barr is a very dangerous person. I consider religious zealots the most dangerous people on the planet.

These dominionists are unethical liars. They think Jesus will forgive anything so they're rushing to bring about the "Rapture", no matter the means.

trying to get the heat off trump is a nut.

Then he tried to blow it off by saying it wasn't unusual to do write such screeds by people who had once served in high positions in the government. (??)

Sounds like a bored blowhard who desperately wants to get back into the power game to me.

An Authority above all laws of Man, above all standards of ethics or human decency -- when in fact the voice they hear in their head is their own.

The sure sign of that is that the voice always agrees with them.

They want Christianity to run our country/theocracy. But which version of Christianity?

Which version of Christianity?

Many Catholics/Protestants feel that the other is not a true Christian.

What will they say/do when it is not their version of Christianity in charge?

Christians in Ireland fought each other using terrorism.

Muslims kill each other in the name of the same Mohamed but different versions of Islam.

Jews have different sects with some diehard believers/haters against each other.

Purity in the faith for the extremists of all faiths.

.
Oftentimes the method of religion is more important than the God of religion.
.
.
The resultant leaders in charge will be Political Christians rather than Christians of faith.

the globe to shake down foreign countries, manufacturing dirt on Biden, blocking criminal investigations, blocking whistle blowers, etc. This latest religious zealot aspect is mind boggling in it's irony, considering Barr's henchman role in trump's corrupt administration.

And WHY TF is he still freely moving about with no fear whatsoever? Why hasn't he been neutralized yet?
