In reply to the discussion: Speaker Mike Johnson ?? [View all]Bluetus
(1,766 posts)13. And there are a lot of crazy cultists in the CHdistian extreme
Religion used to be mostly a private matter, but the likes of Falwell, Robertson and many others turned it into a political thing. They rallied people based on abortion, which Jesus never mentioned, and the only references in the Bible actually endorse abortion, even providing a how-to guide.
Once people were on board with that, everything else followed. Every judgment they make related to whether it is good for their anti-abortion war or against it. All other values are subordinated. Crimes are OK. Tearing babies from their mothers is OK, Raping children is OK. Killing people in fishing boats is OK.
These are cult-people, and the first rule of the cult is to never challenge anything.

As far as I can tell, his level of integrity is well below that of Rump, and that is not easy.
