GOP Rep. created manifesto calling for a Christian state and death of infidels

The Overton Window shifted so far it fell off the side of the building. At this point everyone who's against this sort of radicalized bullshit is fairly jaded to it thanks to the antics of Trump, his administration, and the bullshit being pulled by the turtle fucker and other major GOP Congressmen.

[Resonant]

Honestly, I've been fairly ignorant to this sort of stuff in the US. I knew the deep south were really religious and I'm getting a biased view of the US through movies and the like but to see something like this is absolutely nuts, no less from someone in government.

This is something straight from the dark ages. It's surreal.

in a week we will either be continuing further to the right, or we will have a furious trump rambling about how the democrats stole the house and how there should be riots.

[Resonant]

Yeh exactly. All the more surprise.

[Geikkamir]

It really might as well be.

Some people don't know this but Washington is really only liberal west of the cascades (I.E. where Seattle, most of the population, and pretty much everything of note in the state is). If you head over to the east it's like a completely different world, people are generally heavily conservative and even the environment is completely different.

How is this just another article I'm reading? What kinda fucking country do I live in now where I see this shit and go, "Oh, surprised this didn't come out sooner". Jesus Christ, get me outta the Onion Article Universe.

"That ye love one another; as I have loved you,"

Yeah, about that, Big G... You uh... Killed an AWFUL lot of people.

Y'all Qaeda strikes again.

Or it was. It's what happened to 4chan. Pretend to be a degenerate, and soon you'll be surrounded by degenerates who think they're in good company.

"Ah-hahaha... J-joke's on them, I was o-only p-p-retending..."

Wasn't there also a verse in...I Corinthians was it, that implied a believer shouldn't judge a non-believer as if they were under the same religious tenets?

Basically saying that you will encounter people that do not believe as you do and not to judge those people like you would yourself. I could use a lot more of that treatment around here. Especially growing up.

I don't recall if it was Corinthians because it's been years since I last read the Bible but if I recall correctly the New Testament stresses in multiple places that you should accept those that differ from you, whether it's religiously, race, etc., even if their actions go against your beliefs. (With obvious exceptions for preventing them from attacking people and such.)

like most religious folks he can pick and choose which parts of the bible to follow.
