1. LOL

So true

[UTUSN]

2. The abortion & end-o'th'world things are literally true for them. I had an encounter with them

and those were exactly what they brought up. It's been said before, but this was my first face to face on those points. Have been rolling around to post about it for a week.

3. they like him because he's as phony as they are*

*sorry, meant to reply to original post

6. my favorite evangelical wingnut experience:

I was told by a neighbor in front of my young children (7 & 10)
that I was going to go to hell, because I practiced YOGA


Jesus Christ, YOGA?

7. I normally keep my mouth shut as many of my best friends are religious

But is that situation I would have responded in kind.

Most likely telling my children loudly not to worry. This man believes in fairy tales and has an invisible friend.

Another question I ask if someone is being obnoxious about me being a freethinker: ask the if they really believe a all powerful god would reveal his presence to an Iron Age band of Nomadic sheep herders in the Middle East?

But then I have never done something so demonic as Yoga!

10. My elderly sister was told she was going to hell by her "friends"/CATHOLICS back in '04 or '08

She and my mother belonged to a Catholic sub-group, and were in CLOSE contact with a small group of "friends" who were as bad as the other kind of 'gelicals on the single issue of their being anti-Choice.

4. Oh you mean the EVILGELICALS!!!

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Omitted:

If he can get away with it, Trump will funnel tax dollars to their churches.

[smirkymonkey]

8. Raging hypocrites!

[dalton99a]

9. Malaria: "WTF is this shit?"

Malaria is Catholic BTW

11. Their religious leaders are grifters just like Trump.

Birds of a feather.

Trump voters and evangelicals are easy marks.

There's two flavors of deplorable, the venal hypocrites who should know better, and the anti-intellectual ignorant authoritarians, racists, nationalists, etc..

Hard to say which are the easiest marks, the venal hypocrites who actually believe shit like tax cuts, trickle down economics, multi-level marketing..., or the morons who believe Trump was God's chosen.
