You know, if they actually followed the moral teachings laid out in the Bible - the spirit, not the letter - I’d almost be okay with this. The problem is that the vast majority of these self-proclaimed Christians don’t. Not even remotely close.

Idk, man. I could totally go for some of that liturgically mandated Jesus Style Socialism right about now.

I just assumed the God they were always talking about was money. You’re telling me it’s something else?

Have you read the Bible? It’s pretty horrific all the way through. Any good is pretty well overshadowed. The spirit and the letter are awful.

Turn the other cheek, but also buy your slaves from the heathen that surround you and feel free to beat them with a rod as long as they don’t die immediately.

They are very much Christians and their book is fucked, even if you try to find a moral in it. What’s the moral of a guy being fucked with by his god and being told to murder his own child? Or the moral of a man offering his daughters to a bunch of rapists, or the moral of a bunch of kids getting killed by a bear cause they made fun of a guy being bald? It’s a weird ass book through and through

I was hoping this was the bi bull video. :p I love it.

“Ohhh noooo, I swore on an a bi bull, I done it three times Jay.”

Dude has like 4 brain cells and they’re all busting their ass to hold his face in a way that doesn’t make him look stupid and they’re doing a terrible job of it.

Every single interview with Republicans (and Democrats) should include the host correcting their stupid lies.

I added and Democrats, but we all know the ratio of who is going to be called out for blatant lies.

Those slow-blinks as he grapples with what the host just said. That is priceless.
