Holeeeyyyy Sheeitt!!! Mike Pampeo promises to "fight until the rapture!!!!!"

From Patheos: New Secretary Of State Pompeo Promises To Fight ‘Until The Rapture’:

Pompeo’s selection to serve as Secretary of State is alarming but not surprising. His confirmation is yet another reminder of the GOP’s longing for a Christian theocracy.

It is by now a well established fact that Mike Pompeo is a dangerous Christian extremist who has in the past expressed hatred and bigotry towards gays, Muslims, and others found wanting by conservative Christians.

Indeed, as CIA Director Pompeo rejected diversity and promoted conservative Christian dogma within the Central Intelligence Agency.

A recent report from Foreign Policy paints a dismal portrait of the CIA under Pompeo. According to the report, Pompeo was working to make the agency a bastion for white, male, Christian conservatives.

Pompeo has even gone so far as to endorse the notion of a “Holy War” between Christians and Muslims, and believes the fight against terrorism is a war between Islam and Christianity.

Edited to add:I recommend reading the entire article and following the links, especially those in the excerpts above. It's actually worse than it looks.

3. YAWN

They give the Prince of Peace a bad name. They don't believe in him .
Sorry. It's a year round feeling, not just Christmas.
Jesus weeps.

4. Nothing scares me more than Christians who are looking forward to the rapture

They can't wait to be with Jesus.

[sarcasmo]

5. Republican Jesus will destroy the planet.

[snort]

7. There are some shortcuts I could suggest.

[atreides1]

9. Well

If they want to be with Jesus that badly...there are several neighborhoods in the US they could go to, and get their wish!

The truth is that those Christians are more afraid of dying then anyone I know. They don't know what's on the other side, and even if it's what they think, they don't know if they're actually going to be with Jesus!

Most conservative Christians are full of hate for the less fortunate, and only pay lip service to their "beliefs", they fail to follow the teachings of Christ and favor the kind of Christianity that fills their pockets, at the expense of others!

[Mister Ed]

13. Those are the ones who just love the idea of...

...sitting next to Jesus on the edge of a cloud, smug and snug, with a big bowl of popcorn in their lap while they look down on the indescribable suffering of the rest of us.

P.S. If you're ever in conversation with someone who's going on and on about the Rapture, ask 'em to show you the part of the Bible that tells about the Rapture so you can read up on it yourself. It'll take 'em a long, loong time...'cause it's not in there.

19. And while we're pointing fingers at Kim Jong Un and North Korea...

Vlad has a giant smart bomb called Satan 2 aimed right at us. And Christians are cheerleading that.

[cutroot]

6. They invented the god that they worship. That's why they think that he will do as they say.

The day of reckoning comes first. Even having the best people and the best lawyers around will not help them.

[mountain grammy]

8. Also Pence, DeVos, Carson, Pruitt

Dangerous times.

[smirkymonkey]

14. Hope the "rapture" comes very soon.

There is nothing I would like to see more than for them to "disappear" from the face of the earth in the very near future. I'm kind of hoping for a Jonestown type of situation.

[mountain grammy]

17. Nah they want to rule the world

Greedy bastards, been around forever. I’m thinking it’s pretty much hopeless.. seems goodness just can’t get a break.

[arthritisR_US]

31. Are all of those the same rature wishing

“Christians”?

[mucifer]

10. They all worship the golden calf.

[herding cats]

11. I'd like off this crazy ride now, please?

These people worry me in general... when they wield global power they terrify me.

[tavernier]

12. Well, I am a Christian and I follow the teachings of Christ,

which basically makes me a Democrat.

He actually never mentioned a rapture.

[Kittycow]

16. Besides that...

the fact that they believe they can manipulate God is rather breathtaking.

[Mc Mike]

15. Wish these birchers would just go ahead and self-immolate, chop chop.

If the rapture occurred, this place would be heaven on earth.

[Garrett78]

18. How is it that people like him aren't institutionalized?

[BadgerMom]

20. This scares and saddens me.

I’m not sure which feeling is greater.

[gratuitous]

21. Anyone think to ask him about this at his confirmation hearing?

Yeah, didn't think so.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. The rapture was not part of Christian theology till John Darby invented it in the 19th century

Tell that to an end times Christian and watch his/her head explode.

[Garrett78]

23. They would just ignore or deny.

Just like if you tell white supremacists that the concept known as race is also a fairly recent invention.

[Scurrilous]

24. LOL

What an idiot.

[Vinca]

25. This is what I don't understand about the "rapture" people.

Why don't they just off themselves if they're so hot to meet their maker? No one's keeping you here, Mike. Lose your balance on a building or something.

[FakeNoose]

27. Does Pompeo know he's working for the anti-Christ?

Asking for a friend.

[dembotoz]

28. He meant rupture..to carry all Trump's water gets heavy

[AirmensMom]

29. Im thinking the rapture has been cancelled.

God saw how his “followers” behave and decided he didn’t want them.

[get the red out]

30. Shit!

There is no end to the crazy people and crooks involved in this administration!
