I've been to Ireland and I remember having a conversation with one of the friends we met there and when the conversation turned to religion, he said "if you weren't Catholic, what would you be?" It's a way of life.

I don’t understand how they think. It’s just amazing that people think they, and only they, have the one right answer to the mysteries of the universe.

And I can't think of any of these Republican so-called "Christians" - especially TFG - that don't break pretty much all of them each and every day.

You would think that elections would weed them out.
Instead it seems to enshrine them into power positions.

is industrial strength.

Now the christian nationalists are combining martial arts with their proselytizing. Thanks for the heads-up, Tommy.

Somewhere, in a small village in Alabama, they're frantically searching for their idiot.

It appears CNN has found him. For now.

Since this dipshit doesn't even live in the state he represents.

But, yeah. I would venture a guess that these immigrants on average actually attended church more often than 90% of R Congress critters including himself over the last 4years.

Although agreed, I don't care about their religion. They are mostly legitimate refugees based on US and international law.

Is looking for him. They’ve sent him here to Washington, where the Congress has become the country’s largest home for the mentally enfeebled.

There were more immigrant farm workers with their families attending services there than there were locals. I swear this tuber-guy is the dumbest freaking rock in the quarry.

Treason Tommy's heritage is Church of Christ. "Look at me Jesus, ain't I righteous." is THEIR scam.

I once read, "There are as many paths to God as there are people to walk them".
In any event, it isn't the religion you follow that's important, it's the content of your life.
