‘The partisan left’s ritualist wailing and gnashing of teeth over Colbert is quite revealing,” Brendan Carr tweeted Tuesday, adding that critics of the cancellation are ‘acting like they’re losing a loyal DNC spokesperson.’

This quote is from the Bible—“wailing and gnashing of teeth”—it’s a dog whistle for “Christian” fascists that don’t know Jesus but seem to have memorized Revelations.

These people seem to forget several quotes regarding the believers being deceived by an anti-Christ.

If these people ever talk Bible, this entire admin runs counter to Matthew 25:32.

  • Criminalizing foreigners
  • Making awful prisons
  • Taking away aide to those that need it

It’s a fucking joke that ANYONE on the Right speaks of Christ or faith at this time.

Religion has been and will always be a tool to enforce an agenda. The Bible is the reference sheet for any ideology, like magnetic poetry for the socially malignant. Together it enables the savvy to persuade the dim.

Religion has had its time in the sun and it isn't useful anymore. Only the evil and the dumb still find it useful.

You’re welcome to your opinion. I’m a UU, previously an atheist, and I’ve found a lot of value from it. It’s very different than traditional religion.
