A reply to various stories and opinions I have seen and heard this week.
“Evangelicals support Trump and ignore his failings because they believe he will make abortion illegal and fill SCOTUS with men who will overthrow Rowe vs. Wade”
Meaning that evangelicals don’t believe that there is anyone with morals among the other possible candidates who would make abortion illegal. Interesting . . .
” The bible clearly states . . .”
If I finished all the statements along these lines that appeared this week, I’d have no room for anything else, and the arguments are such low hanging fruit as it is. I will simply note that there were people in Christ’s day who believed in living life in accord with the literal word of Leviticus — the Levites and Pharisees — and Jesus fought with them on every occasion.
”They are taking guns away from law-abiding people . . .”
If they’re so law-abiding, why aren’t they OK abiding this law?
”This ‘snow’ won’t melt! It’s a chemical made in a lab!”
If there IS a group out there that can cover Texas with a layer of chemicals without anyone seeing them, maybe we should shut up and welcome our new Overlords before they add contact poison or sterility drugs to the mix.
”Immigrants get X dollars from the government. In comparison, pensioners and veterans only get . . .”
If they ever end immigration, God help the pensioners and veterans, because they will be the next ones on the chopping block. Why are the rich and connected the only people allowed to get money from the government?
