Religion is a hell of a drug.

FTA:

“The Bible says, ‘Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,’” he said. “Well, when you have leaders that are not allowing the nation to be blessed of God, they’re not doing godly things, you need to replace them, get rid of them, get them out of office, put people back in there that will. You’ve got schools where they’re fighting over allowing homosexual, LGBTQ material to be utilized to groom children. … There needs to be people that will take up and sue anybody that is allowing that sort of thing to go on in our school districts and in our libraries.”

When someone starts a sentence with "the Bible says", I just interrupt them with "nobody gives a shit what the Bible says, this isn't your church"

It's usually enough for them to figure out continuing the discussion isn't going to go smoothly and move on.

"You stay out of our government, and the government will stay out of your church."

I look forward to the day churches are taxed.

Not me. I know they already overstep their bounds regarding state/church separation and all, but they'd be so much more entitled and insufferable if they believed they had no restrictions because they were taxed.

Has he tried jumping up his own ass? Maybe that’d help.
