I did. And nowhere in there does it say “Love Thy Neighbor. Unless they are gay, trans, or non Christian.”
After he picks up the constitution
Humanity would be much better off without religion.
“We keep on being told that religion, whatever its imperfections, at least instills morality. On every side, there is conclusive evidence that the contrary is the case and that faith causes people to be more mean, more selfish, and perhaps above all, more stupid.”
― Christopher Hitchens
Must be a different Bible.
extremism is all they have left..they’ve been circling the drain for the last 30 years politically…no solutions ..no policy …so how do you get your votes? appeal to their worst instincts so that you can make sure a higher proportion of an ever dwindling voter bloc votes your way…
So I picked up a bible and Jesus never spoke of gay people at all. He said to love the stranger as you love yourself and washed a prostitute’s feet. Nice guy this Mr. Jesus. You should be more like him.
Not unexpected from a person who worships a god that supports the immoral practice of slavery and always referenced the bible that was used to justify that practice.
New Testament ~~doesn’t even~~ rarely mentions gay people, though I’m guessing this guy is more of a fire and brimstone Old Testament weirdo
Can I hit him with said Bible?
Ok I picked it up and Leviticus 20:13 says the penalty should be death 💀 This monstrous human being is as bad as ISIS
We need admonish and scold these scumbags to their face in public. reporters need to do better to call out this bullshit
And there is the basic problem… How a government treats citizens should not be based on religion. Laws shouldn’t be made to satisfy a religious purpose. Citizens shouldn’t be held to a religious standard, ANY RELIGION.
The utter brazenness of these people. How is this different from the same nerdy-looking doofus telling you that everyone has to live life according to the rules laid out in *The Lord of the Rings*? Both are metaphorical fantasy books 100% made up by humans. I concede that the Bible and its 37 rewrites and mistranslations has been around for longer, but at least Tolkien is well written, self consistent, and has way better monsters.
To evangelicals they operate by biblical interpretation called hermeneutics. Hermeneutics is what they do when they take a text and ask not just “what does this say,” but “what does this mean?
So basically they find the answer they want.
I say play with these toys at home.
The Bible filled with infanticide, rape and incest? You mean that Bible?
Fuck the Bible. It’s fictional, uninteresting bullshit.
This dude is so not going to pick up GOP votes. He’s clearly showing thay they’ve somehow gone more right than what the were like during Trump. The only person who likes religious Extremists are other religious Extremists. They already have that vote wrapped up.
Don’t shove your religion down our throats!
Any both siders care to weigh in on how we can compromise with these principles? One side wants to be left in peace and the other side wants to destroy those who wish to be left in peace. Hmmm. Tough choice.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”
There are three branches of the United States Government, Mike, being the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.
I note that the Southern Baptist Convention, or any other church or religious organization, is not any of those branches, and in fact the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States clearly says:
>Amendment I
***Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion***, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
So, Mike, would you do us the favor of having a nice hot cup of STFU, and taking a seat?
I give it two weeks before a few of this dude’s secret homosexual lovers come forward. He just screams stereotypical closeted anti-lgbtq and anti-female Baptist preacher- being from the Deep South myself I am very familiar with how this plays out!
Ol’ boy has the biggest gay face I’ve seen on a conservative in a while.
**The separation of church and state has been sledgehammered**
> Beginning in 1630 as many as 20,000 Puritans emigrated to America from England to gain the liberty to worship God as **they chose.**
393 years later they are now behaving like the church of England in which they’ve fled and forcing 17th century religious ideologies down the gullet of a modern world.
* Pilgrim separatists rejected the Church of England and the remnants of Catholicism that the Church of England represented.
* Puritan non-separatists, while equally fervent in their religious convictions, were committed to reformation of the Church of England and restoration of early Christian society.
We’ve come Full circle.
* The membership was composed, at least initially, of men and women who had undergone a conversion experience and could prove it to other members. Puritan leaders hoped (futilely, as it turned out) that, once their experiment was successful, England would imitate it by instituting a church order modeled after the New England Way.
Sound familiar?
A new crusade is is upon thee. Instead of swords it will be lead with the AR15. s/
This is fucking terrifying. These people openly despise the Constitution. It feels like Iran in the early 80’s.
**LGBT people:** *merely exist*
**GOP:** “And I had a big problem with that.”
Grandma: some parts of the bible are just nice stories, some parts are just good advice; some other parts though…did meth exist back then?
Me: I don’t believe so.
Grandma: I think you’re wrong.
You don’t need the bible to justify being good, but it’s great if you want to justify being evil.
You pledged an oath to the Constitution, not the Bible…
Isn’t this the guy actively lying, right now, about Biden? Hope fucking Christian of him (honestly at this point if you tell me your Christian I’ll assume you’re a non-stop liar).
I have picked up a Bible. Jesus had a hell of a lot more to say about how Johnson acts than what LGBTQ+ do. “Don’t go around acting like your shit don’t stink” is Bible 101. And Johnson has failed at it. Miserably.
I dont give a fuck about the Bible, how about you go pick up the constitution and bill of rights?
They keep bringing up the Bible. “Go pick up a Bible” “The Bible teaches us….”, “God commands…”
Biiitch I grew up in the church. My family did mission work for decades, built almost a hundred churches in half a dozen countries, and over a dozen U.S. states. I personally have read the Bible, across numerous translations, a dozen times, cover to cover.
These aren’t Christians, and they learned nothing from scripture. They don’t represent a single word of the Christian Bible, or any other religious text.
They’re nasty, soulless, power hungry manipulators, whose ambitions have nothing in common with the good of mankind.
So…no mixed fabric cloths, and he is anti-shellfish?
I am sure the US-based garment manufacturers and fisheries will love this guy, right?
Funny how the people who tell you that they hate gay people because “it’s in the Bible” are always silent about eating shellfish or wearing mixed fabrics. Kind of like it isn’t really about following the Bible at all.
Fuck your bible. Some of us don’t give a shit. That’s like me saying we have to live just like Harry Potter because I like those stories too.
Never understand people like this.
Picking up a bible and reading it through is what ended my life as a ‘Christian”-identifying person.
There really is a lot of appalling shit in the Bible and then outright insanity like “Revelations”
Get your fucking Bible out of my marriage, my home, my state, and my government.
When conservatives cherry pick, and incorrectly translate, parts of a book written by mentally unstable nomads in an attempt to justify hate. Classic
Bible is not an argument, it’s just a book of stories written by people less knowledgeable then people of today.

Fuck you. Pick up the constitution, assshole.
