Evangelical Christians have captured the White House that slaves built and with a steady supply of cheeseburgers and ego-massaging they have control of the “Twitterer in Chief”.
These lunatics believe in “The Rapture” and hastening it’s arrival.
“Just like many other Christian brothers and sisters, I eagerly long for the second coming of the Lord Jesus. We abide by the following passage from the Bible: “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1Ts 4:17). For this reason, we foolishly look up to the skies longing for the day that Jesus will return and take us up into the clouds so that we can be with the Lord.””The Lord is trustworthy. The Lord promised that He would take us into the heavenly kingdom in the last days. The Lord’s promise certainly will be accomplished and fulfilled.”
These psychopaths and sociopaths see climate change as ‘Gods will’ and fossil fuels are his gift to power the rapture. At the time of writing, the momentum to impeach is building relentlessly (so much for the democratic process!!! ),with the fundamentalist Mike Pence ready and waiting to step into the breach the minute the twitter in chief has an ‘accident’.
“But there may be another secret to Pruitt’s tenacious grip on the agency that he’s busy undermining. Like several other members of the constantly churning Trump Administration who’ve managed to hold fast—Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, and Vice-President Mike Pence—Pruitt is an evangelical Christian.” Are Evangelical Leaders Saving Scott Pruit’s Job
Climate Scientist Katharine Heyhoe is another case in point;”She’s an evangelical Christian. Her husband is an evangelical pastor, even, in a faith whose followers are largely skeptical of climate science.” Texas scientist and evangelical takes to the web
How on earth could you trust a scientist who believes in an ‘Immaculate conception’ and creationism??
“Well this is where hope is, right here in this room, ah it’s with us”.
Then we have the erudite Chris Hedges who one day challenges the fact that ‘Hope’ is unimpeachably good, then the next moment opens a presentation with the ridiculous comment above and looks like he is on the brink of crying at the 1m 50s mark! Generally I enjoy Chris Hedges writing and presentations but every analysis from him is clouded by his belief in a (presumably?) white guy on a surf board flying around in the clouds, who is supposedly omni-potent but stands aside watching as the military industrial complex rains bombs down on the people of Yemen, Syria and Gaza and surfs blithely by as we exterminate 150 to 200 species daily.
Discussing her “ministry” to the U.N. last year, Bachmann claimed that “the return of Jesus Christ is imminent,” and noted that “the clock is striking 11:59 on God’s time clock and as history is culminating in as read in Revelation.”
Bachmann explained the supposed importance of her new mission:
I believe that God is starting a new thing, and because the time is short before Christ comes again to this earth, He is giving everyone one more chance.
“First thing in the morning on April 5, before a meeting chaired by Representative John Shimkus and another with the Solar Energy Industry Association, Energy Secretary Rick Perry headed to the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a copy of Perry’s schedule obtained by Fusion. There, Perry was scheduled to meet for an hour-long “Cabinet Member Bible Study. He has praised the new administration for its power to “change the course of America in ways that are biblical.”
“It is safe to say that God is a Capitalist,” Drollinger once wrote, “not a Communist.” In a January radio interview, Drollinger praised then-senator Jeff Sessions, who “hungers and thirsts for the Scripture,”
“Vice President Mike Pence, HUD Secretary Ben Carson, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, CIA Director Mike Pompeo, nominee for Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, HHS Secretary Tom Price, and Scott Pruitt, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, have all sponsored the Capitol Ministries Cabinet Bible study, according to literature put out by Capitol Ministries.”
“Drollinger also argues that climate change is impossible because God promised after The Flood never to do anything like that again. Drollinger preaches against “radical environmentalism” and that to believe that human activity could have devastating impact on the environment is not just mistaken, but the result of godless pride: “To think that man can alter the earth’s ecosystem—when God remains omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent in the current affairs of mankind—is to more than subtly espouse an ultra-hubristic, secular worldview relative to the supremacy and importance of man,” Drollinger wrote recently. “It follows that we can all rest assured and wholly rely on God’s aforementioned promises pertaining to His ability and willingness to sustain our world’s ecosystem.” Many thanks to political analyst John Steppling for the lead to the link; The Trump Cabinet Has It’s Own Weekly Far Right Biblical Study Group
This is the level of Insanity and Delusion existing in the US administration as we rush headlong towards annihilation.
I'm an anti-imperialist, environmental activist and blue ocean sailor, who is passionate about the earth and all it's inhabitants without favour. Brace for imminent impact as we bare witness to the non-linear unraveling of the biosphere and habitability disappearing for most if not all complex life on the only habitable planet we know of. To quote President Niinistö in North Russia: ‘If We Lose the Arctic, We Lose the World’. Folks we have lost the Arctic.

Putting a made-up pretend holiday that is all about revenue generation for the wealthy corporate owners…and layering more debt and stress on the rest of us that we can ill afford is rather, ummm, pompous in nature don’t you think? The religion that the holiday represents has an incredibly dark and violent history for that matter, too…which is never talked about.
Big sigh. I never celebrate this ridiculous Catholic event as I am neither Catholic nor Christian, and when I give presents (to the young mostly) it’s for the Winter Solstice which I make a point of explaining that it is our oldest known holiday celebrated by our species because we can SEE the sun start back north. It’s NOT made up, an invented myth, but a real event one can experience for themselves. Participatory science!!

A GOP-MAGA Senator from Iowa had a town hall meeting with her constituents last week. It didn’t go well when she talked about cutting Medicaid, and said in response to those that were arguing with her after she shrugged her shoulders and said “We are all going to die.”

There will NEVER be universal health care, like the rest of the 1st world countries have. Because of people like her that will let the poor, children, old people, workers who are barely surviving paycheck to paycheck, sicken and die…since the billionaires need more money and the US military needs $1.1 TRILLION next year in Trump’s new budget?
Always more where the poor came from, eh? Replaceable cogs in the machine, and there are states that have just re-written their labor laws to ‘allow’ children to work in slaughterhouses etc etc for low wages on school nights…but since the MAGATS are getting rid of education I guess it doesn’t matter much. Of course her state is one of those that thinks 14 yr olds wielding sawblades on a kill line is a good idea!
Oh wait! She’s a MAGATS, a ‘make america great again’ trump supporter. She really did switch her pledge to the Orange Prophet of Hate from that Pacifist Palestinian lib-tard from Western Asia but you wouldn’t know it if you listen to how she professes her Christo-Fascist credentials.
Then she posted a reply on Twitter the next day with this at the end which proves just how much she loves Jesus:
“But for those that would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my lord and savior, Jesus Christ,” she said.

The MAGA Ideology That Brought Us to This Moment
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIonrnzj_BU

three comments:
1) Religion is what moves us back to that frame of thought. Those who are saved feel superior to those who aren’t. That’s why they have to convince those who aren’t saved to become so. Then they can feel justified in their ego.
2) The irony is that the poor MAGA voter doesn’t realize they will be thrown under the bus as soon as they have ended their usefulness to Trump and the leaders of MAGA.
3) My granny, who was born in 1874, used to tell me, “the South was such a poor loser.” She witnessed reconstruction drifting into Jim Crow laws as she grew up. Since 1981, we’ve slowly been drifting back into believing that destructive way of thinking that “some people are better than others” — but also there is a sense of angry revenge that accompanies this terrible regression.

Here’s sort of a humorous snippet from a post on Medium about why religious types make stuff up:
You have no doubt heard of the Shroud of Turin, the supposed burial shroud in which Jesus was wrapped, which now bears his image.
For centuries, debate has raged over the origin of the Shroud of Turin, with the earliest mention of the shroud attributed to a document produced in Champagne between 1389 and 1390. Even then, this now-controversial relic was caught up in debate, with both supporters of its authenticity and detractors discussing it.
However, a recent study has discovered an even older document, the oldest to mention the shroud so far, likely produced between 1370 and 1382 by the scholar and theologian Nicole Oresme.
The document is not only the earliest to mention the shroud; however, unlike later documents that specifically focus on the legal aspects, it also includes Administrative and devotional aspects of the shroud. Oresme’s treatise focuses explicitly on the Shroud as a scholarly example to illustrate how the clergy would sometimes fabricate lies to generate offerings for their churches.
from: https://medium.com/the-academic/earliest-mention-of-the-shroud-of-turin-claims-it-was-lies-forged-by-churchmen-58ff8b05a6b2
__
Generate offerings by conning the masses into believing bullshit. Why… imagine that happening now! Oh wait…our new orange jeezuz (as some christo-fascists are calling him) DJT pulls lies out of his butt daily and millions believe them. Crazy, huh? As crazy as this ‘shroud’ I guess.
__
But then the scientists find something extremely odd in the ‘heavens’ blasting through at a never-before-seen speed of 180,000 miles per hour they call 3iATLAS, and some are starting to become quite alarmed at how this visitor to our solar system is behaving. Which is extremely unusual compared to every comet we’ve ever tracked. We’ll know (if it continues as it is) on 24Sept when crosses the orbit of Mars.
Maybe it’s jesus coming back, or a new leader to wrestle the throne from DJT as leader of the world, eh?
