Bill Bennett just said we should consider using exorcists to stop mass shootings
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"

Hey NP Bill, I think that people should have law enforcement choice..you know, like school choice. So..next time you pick up the phone and dial 911, we'll send somebody out to shake a rattle at your home invader right quick.
It's not faux, theyre just noise. The trouble is that these silly dipshits..the reich wing in general..have given up on governing, even the idea of governing, entirely. They want to pray for rain and mutter cantrips at active shooters. A death cult whose guiding philosophy can only be described as a murder suicide pact.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm curious how Bill thinks we should determine who is in need of exorcism. It's a funny clip, but lying in the wings is the traditional religious stigmatizing of mental illness.

Today I heard a religious person say.... "thank you universe" after finding their favorite face mask they had previously misplaced. Sounded kinda stupid to me anyway.

Huh..... I sleep naked most every night, since 1) I live alone currently and 2) it's 185 degrees in Texas. I have yet, unfortunately, to have any demons of lust show up. Maybe I should contact this person and see how to make that happen. Sounds like a fun weekend.

Just remember that everyone is still naked, under their clothes. 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
