Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, in his first remarks after being elected Wednesday afternoon, told Members of Congress that “Scripture” and “the Bible” are clear that they have been “ordained” by God.
If you notice someone (mostly politicians) randomly pop out of nowhere and start telling you shit you wanna hear, that lerson is lying pieace of shit trying to play you. This is a highly effective method btw.
At least the Taliban have the excuse their holy book is read in its original language. These jokers base themselves on a translation of a translation. Dogma and theocracy are wrong in any version, but if you are spouting ignorant bigotry at least make sure it’s what the bronze-age sheepherders really intended…
They also actively fight against ACCURATE translations because they have already built so many false arguments based on the least accurate and most out of date translations available. Even if the book WAS originally in English an original text from the 1600s would be a challenge.
slaps a pile of Bronze Age parables about tribal conflicts on the far side of the Mediterranean that have gone through a dozen different iterative translations
Its all crystal clear. Jesus said The American Constitution prohibits dressing outside your birth-certificate assigned gender.
I guess the Republicans choose to ignore the separation of church and state.
Shame, since they call up the constitution so frequently.
Must be like the bible, they haven’t actually read the thing they espouse to take their guidance from.
The sheer pride in ignorance these days astounds me.
It isn’t bad to be ignorant, we all have things to learn every day. Its bad to be proud of it and to refuse to elevate oneself above their own shortcoming.
If that isn’t the republican party in a nutshell, though.
Sadly these leaders aren’t actually ignorant, they know full well that they are lying. They encourage their followers to be ignorant so that those lies continue to work. This guy goes home knowing that he is full of shit and that he successfully manipulated a bunch of morons into supporting him.
Yeah this blows my mind. If you wouldn’t allow a paranoid schizophrenic to hold office, why are you allowing people who think the earth is 6000 years old and dinosaurs aren’t real?
