The Absurd GOP
August 9, 2022 at 11:12 pm
As sociopathic as they have become, they deserve their own thread.
Republican Lauren Boebert says she wants ‘biblical citizenship training’ in public schools
Pink News
Quote:Boebert’s chilling comments were made on an episode of FlashPoint, a Christian news show which airs on the Victory Channel, owned by the anti-LGBTQ+ televangelist Kenneth Copeland.
The Colorado Republican and gun rights activist, who has previously said that LGBTQ+ people should be banned from coming out before the age of 21, discussed the upcoming midterm elections and said Republicans must prove that they will “get America rolling again”.
She added: “Maybe we need to have some sort of legislation that requires… biblical citizenship training in our schools. And that’s how we get things turned around.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I predict this thread will reach over 100 pages.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I believe that public schools should be required to have courses in higher Biblical criticism.

Absurd implies some modicum of humor or joviality. The more fitting word would be 'Abhorrent'
