I'm not religious, but if Jesus exists, Somewhere he must be saying to the religious right

“Keep my name out your fucking mouth”

I was listening to Adam Kinzinger talk about his religious family members who were against him voting to impeach chump. He said religious folks have put chump on the same level as Jesus. If you attack chump, it’s like attacking Jesus and their religion.

These same folks said President Obama was the anti christ. But chump is like Jesus.

Jesus be a fence!

on it. Put a Jesus sticker on an AR-15 and they will crumple over in religious tears. Slap a Jesus sticker on your ass and 30% of Americans will follow you over a cliff. (It just has to be somewhere negative, they won’t follow you to the library or a vegetable stand.)

The Donald who ridicules Holy Communion.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you who behave lawlessly.’"

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."
Every robber or oppressor in history has wrapped himself in a cloak of patriotism or religion, or both. YMMV
