I have been a founding member of the Laugh Along With God religion. now 40 years later, we may get a few converts!

The Universe is simply God's entertainment channel, we are some sort of noxious minor sitcom with occasional pathos of "that very special episode" where thousands or million die because XXX.

Welcome to the MWAG (Milky Way Actors Guild).

I left the church formally when I was 19. My parents were not amused, my Dad threatened to cut me off, I told him to have at it. I have been a Unitarian for the past 30 years of my life. Evangelicals are what is wrong with this country.

Evangelicals obviously don't know crap.

This guy has paid off hookers;
This guy has cheated workers of their rightful pay;
This guy has moaned about illegal immigrants, yet hired them on his golf courses;
This guy has cheated on his taxes by lying;
This guy has lied to voters over 15,000 times;
This guy has cheated on his 3 wives;
This guy has treated his workers badly and undercut them whenever he sees an advantage to do so;
This guy is a moron;
This guy's declared bankruptcy multiple times, and stiffed a lot of people along the way;
This guy claims that climate change is fake, despite clear evidence to the contrary;
...

So who is still listening to the so called evangelicals, and what right do they have in calling themselves 'evangelicals'? They have ruined this word and have misappropriated it for their own nefarious purposes. Sickening and pathetic.

Ugh, he makes me absolutely sick! I cannot tell you how the rage wells up inside of me the minute I see his image or hear his voice. I only hope that the Iranians are now out for his head.

It may also be a sign that that god has contempt for you.
