if the pastor says the sky is green and water is dry then the sky is green and water is dry

You know, the idea that the US is an exceptional country filled with exceptional people.

The idea that the US Government only takes actions for the best of reasons.

Perhaps this election is an example of rhetoric meeting reality?

they voted for the devil. Their christian devil. He will consume them as he will us all. Christlike my ass. A fundamentalist white ameriKKKan religionist is no better than those chopping off heads in the middle east. They use Penceshit as their rational for voting for the trumpfuhrer. He's just the devils helper. May your God consume you christian......this one you voted for ain't going to save you from the "brown hordes"you've been taught to fear either. Why? Because we actually were just americans trying to get through life in the most painless manner. Christian may you feel the generations of PoC pain, all in the next 4 years.

They claim to "trust in "God" and they are the most cowardly people in the world. Some farmer in Alabama is willing to destroy every American's rights because he is afraid terrorists are going to attack his fucking barnyard.
Give me a fucking break. I thought God was going to protect your sorry ass.

this pretty much his the nail on the head.

They are voting cultural, bottom line.

I remember going to Seventh Day Adventist church when I was young. There was a man who showed up who had a potato chip company. He was there to make sure that everyone there voted republican. He said repeatedly that Jimmy Carter was to be taken out of office because he was going to declare Baptist the national religion. That Carter was an evil man and that Ronald Reagan was the true christian. I will say that after that I stopped going to church until I went to a baptist church that was the church of choice for the plant I was trying to get a job at. There the pastor preached republican politics soon as I got the job I promptly quit going. At work I would always read during breaks not novels. I was told by the fundy republicans that I should not read and talk to co-worker about the subject because it was wrong. That knowledge is not us only for certain chosen because if you learn and study you are trying be like god. For some reason years later I got invited to a NASA program in Columbus OH. They were talking about trying to get children into STEM and what to do. I told them that the biggest problem is the willful ignorance due to the religious up bring. I'm sure some religious people do not hold to that but it took awhile to find them.

There's a MLK quote that Joe Madison (SiriusXM host) often references -

for the "fundamentalist xtians" in rural areas, but that's not everybody in the rural world. There are quite a few of us who are liberal as well, but we are not the dominant group. Some of us are xtians... and many are not. Many choose not to participate at all which is one of the reasons they live way out here, so they don't have to pay attention. All are finding out that they all have to pay attention now and some aren't happy about that either. In my area, about 3/5 of the population are religious-white.

Third time I've seen it posted on DU and it's gotten a rec from me every time.
