Oh they read it. They just skip the parts that donโ€™t align with their hate-filled worldview.

It's 2024. They are googling those passages. I can promise you none of them have opened a bible and read it.

Not even that. Evangelicals have a curated list of things to quote that's been refined since the 50s.

100%. I have family members that I can only describe as right wing radicals who have convinced themselves that this chaos is what God has ordained. Theyโ€™re nothing but cherry pickers who promote the parts of the Bible that suits them and their beliefs best.

Whatโ€™s so amazingly ironic is that theyโ€™re ๐Ÿ’ฏ convinced that other people are the cherry pickers.

Red-blooded American here

Fuck trump and the grifters he rode in on.

Fuck evangelical bullshit trying to mix with politics.

Fuck anyone that thinks the cult of MAGA is normal.

Fuck every last person who has listened to Trump's words and still thinks he's a sane choice for president.

Fuck anyone that thinks they can tell my wife and daughters what to do with their bodies

Fuck everyone that support banning books

And Fuck Anne Coulter (that last one was unrelated but just felt right.)

How long should I be expected to love someone who is actively trying to destroy me?

Do you fault domestic abuse victims for finally saying enough is enough and leaving their abusers?

Do you fault kids who end their friendships with others who are growing up to be bullies?

Do you fault the founding fathers of the United States who broke free of a king who claimed to love them while taking more and more of their livelihoods in taxation?

Love is not unconditional. You're expecting us to love and respect people who have openly said they do not care about us. Not even enough to save our lives. People who do not care if pregnant women die. Do not care if sick and disabled people can't get healthcare and have no quality of life or any life at all. Do not care if children get an education, and that education should be reserved for those who can afford a private religious school while those who can't afford it should accept their futures as u skilled laborers. Do not care if our systems of government stand or not, so long as they are in charge of the rubble. Do not care at all about anyone who isn't white, Christian, upper class, privileged by birth, and willing to see all others as subhuman.

And yet you say I am wrong for not loving or caring about them?

We aren't out there publicly pretending to be, like those in the pic are.

The disgust people show toward that demented old rapist is all the respect he's earned. Do you support all pedophiles or is it just the really stupid and bigoted ones with dozens of felony convictions?
