Burns wrote on social media before emphasizing that the gilded effigy was not a false idol.

“Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf,” he said.

No, not a calf. A different bovine comes to mind.

And this pastor really doesn’t know his bible. Either that, or he knows it but didn’t enter the sheep fold by the gate.

Psalms 115:4-8

  • But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
  • They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.
  • They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell.
  • They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk, nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
  • Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.

You would think a Pastor would have a serious problem with that. Only in Trumps America.

Evangelical pastors are bullshit. They have no doctrine, no structure, no guidance, they make up whatever the fuck they want as long as it brings in money.

Evangelicals are the black-and-orange-wrapped-taffy-candy in the halloween candy dish. They wave a book and say “Jesus” and dumb people follow them.

Several statues depicting Trump have recently appeared in front of the Capitol building. One, titled “Best Friends Forever,” portrays the billionaire president alongside the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Another, called “King of the World,” shows the pair posing like Jack and Rose at the prow of the Titanic.

I liked those better

Europeans were correct to expell their cultists to America.

The natives and the wildlife would disagree. Let’s not hype colonialism as a means to deal with extremism. Europe dumping it’s undesirables across the globe was a double benefit to their power structures at home and the peoples living in those “new worlds” paid a heavy price for it.

Nonsense. American religion has been this fucked up for decades. Every time I hear about some horrible act of depravity, I get less surprised when I find out it was perpetrated by a pastor, not more.

What a shitty, weeble-wobble looking statue with the sunken chest and the slobby gut hanging over the beltline.
