Thoughts 'n Prayers: Officially Licensed Version
Considering the number of Evangelicals that supported and continue to support Donald Trump - you can take your advice and shove into your chosen orifice.
More people killed in the name of religion than any other cause. There’s your cancer pastor.
No cancer! No Cancer! You’re the cancer!
Uh, just fuck you.
“He recalled the days when schoolchildren prayed, read scripture and memorized the Ten Commandments in schools…”
“…darkies knew their place, women kept their mouths shut, and we killed fairies with baseball bats.”
He continued, "Those were the days!"
No it’s a law and an increment toward more substantial laws.
Bandaids on cancer on a non-sequitur. Laws that start small are pieces of a fabric that can get larger.
“It doesn’t deal with the root problem,”
Um, like “kill em all and let God sort em out”?
Or, “we believe only the gospel of Christ can do that.”? Because no good Christian buys a gun.
No where in the history of man was a social problem solved with religion, unless you’re talking about justifying the extermination of the people you’ve accused.
LOL. I have nothing to add to that. @erik_t took care of the thought/prayer issue up above and that’s that. I wonder if perhaps these folks are running out of arguments? They start up and before they’re halfway done we’re chanting their words in chorus with them.
They look at the commandments like they look at constitutional amendments. They only cite the ones they like. Thou shalt not kill is a very good one. How about the thou shalt not commit adultery? I think that’s how it reads, not thou shalt not have sex with a porn star.
The root of all evil.
Racist Buchanan chimed in too, called the kids dum. Keep it up conservatives
“recalled the days when schoolchildren prayed, read scripture and memorized the Ten Commandments in schools”
But consider - Robert James Jeffress, Jr. is an American Southern Baptist,
Born: November 29, 1955 (age 62),
two landmark decisions – Engel v. Vitale on June 25, 1962, and Abington School District v. Schempp on June 17, 1963 – the Supreme Court declared school-sponsored prayer and Bible readings unconstitutional.
- realistically he has only a 7 -8 year old’s recollection of the “prayer in public school” era - and has zero object analysis to support his depiction of the situation
just another zealot seeling to install his dogma as an over-ruling of the constitution.
Mega Church, Mega Bucks! So much for Christianity, sold to the highest bidder.
Jeffress isn’t very good at his strawmen argument attempts. If he wasn’t at the whacko propagandist outlet otherwise known as Fox News Channel, any decent journalist could have punched holes through this “man of God’s” reasoning.
I don’t need this scum infesting my browser history any more than he already does, but I’ll bet you an internet dollar that ten minutes of Googling could find Jeffress expressing support for blue laws of a dozen varieties.
I dunno why we don’t just pray and study the Bible and memorize the Ten Commandments instead of banning liquor sales on Sundays, or whatever. For some reason, prayers only work on guns.
The golden calf is slate gray and shaped like a boom-stick.
Crime and homicide is lower today than it was in 1960, although as Trump has been ascendant with the aid of the Evangelical movement both are up in the last 2 years. As are hate crimes. MAGA!
Eat sh*t and die.
I wonder if we could get Jeffress to take a stand for or against banning gun sales on Sundays. Maybe the innate contradiction would override his programming and snap him out of it, or (barring that) make his head go up in a little cloud of acrid smoke.
