    Aren’t they visible enough already? They can’t shut the fuck up, they wear Jesus shirts and Jesus caps and have Jesus bumper stickers.

    And these MAGA idiots eat up the idea that Christians, who make up the vast majority of the country’s population and government, are being disrespected and silences.

      Their whole relationship with their deity is the same as an abusive relationship or a cult leader, ‘I love you but if you don’t love me back you’ll be punished forever, but it’s somehow ok and not coercion because I know what’s best for you and you’ll be perfectly happy and content in your life and or afterlife, both of which will be spent serving and praising me’

        I don’t think they read their scriptures. The only parts they know are fed to them via the TV or maybe their pastor if they attend church. Which is highly unlikely.

      Part of me wants to get my hands on his bible that he’s hawking; compare it to an actual bible and see what bits got removed or added.

      At a minimum, I’m guessing then whole money changer in the temple thing, Revelations…. Most all of the parables.

    So that means it a holiday for them and they can just stay home and relax. Since god has a plan, and if its his plan for trump to be president there is nothing they need to do. Just stay home on election day. Matter of fact lets make every election day christian visibility day so they stay home every time.
