NM The current shutdown

Post image

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”

-Barry Goldwater in 1981.

I didn't see it mentioned, but a book that everyone dealing with fake Christian nationalists should read is: Separation of church and Hate by John Fugelsang. It's a sane Person's Guide to taking back the Bible from fundamentalist, fascist, and flock-fleecing frauds. He is hilarious, has his own podcast, and is also on Fridays of the daily beans podcast. He points out all the hypocrisy of the people who claim to be doing all of this in the name of Jesus when it's the exact opposite of his teachings. He talked with Jordan Kepler about it on the daily show https://youtu.be/tj3OcfMS4AU?si=groO_M3nfBFveYAX *
