Onward Christian soldiers

I plan on being very respectful when I visit the Ark Experience and the Creation Science Museum.

The armchair anthropologist in me wants to take in the experience clinically, the same way an entomologist studies bugs.

I imagine that's how aliens are with us.

I knew you would ignore your own claim that Blacks are protestants. :palm:


You are already trying to deflect as I knew you would.

How did you get this far in life without knowing Baptists are Protestants? :palm:


So you can't name any black congressman who are young Earth creationists who advocate injecting creationism into public education.


Thanks for proving black voters are not electing fundamentalist Young Earth creationists, like your party is.

Like the other Trumpers who hate everything not Trump, he claims to be a "Christian".

I didn't, thanks. In fact, I very seldom ever read his posts full of screaming, rage, hate, lies, personal attacks, name-calling, frustration at his tiny winkie, and virtue-signaling. He's so bad he's like an SNL parody of a far-RW Christian fraud. :rofl2:

Hispanics tend to be Catholic. Catholic theology is not based on strict biblical literalism.

Why is it atheists and agnostics almost always know more about Christianity than right-wing 'Christians' do? :palm:

You can add pagans to that list. ;-)

Why are YOU trying to EXEMPT BLACKS from Protestantism???

Because you use the word "protestant" as a RACIST TRIPE. You're so dishonest. :palm:

Johnson wants to be called a Baptist. And you want to EXEMPT him from Christianity.

An apt description of his personality. Most likely, he's simply a bitter, old geezer venting his pain by shitting all over Americans like several other Trumpers and assorted idiots on JPP.

He can sit in church every day 24/7, but that doesn't make him a Christian.

It's really funny that you had not the slightest clue that Baptists are Protestants. :palm:


Name a handful of black Democratic representative in Congress that think the Earth is six thousand years old and advocate teaching creationism in public education.


Blacks tend to be Evangelical, which is not neccesarily the same thing as fundamentalist.

It has very little resemblance to white evangelical beliefs/practices, either. The vast majority of my black Christian friends and former coworkers were frequent church-goers and attended Sunday School and Bible study as well. But they are/were mostly also not in-your-face-pushy to convert you. Nor do they intermingle religion and their political POV which by and large is Democrat-oriented. In my mind, they behave more in what I consider a Christian manner than many of the equally-religious white ppl I've known. For one thing, they walked the walk by having compassion and empathy for the poor, for LGBTQ ppl, and they supported equality and civil rights for all Americans. I have often wondered if this empathy stems from being a minority member and/or having experienced bigotry themselves.

We weren't supposed to talk about religion at work, so of course we did. lol

New House Speaker Thinks Creationist Museum Is 'Pointing People To The Truth'

An ark replica with dinosaurs "is one way to bring people to this recognition ... that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events,” Mike Johnson said.

Before arriving in Washington less than a decade ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a deeply religious Christian, was a legal crusader associated with a fringe evangelical movement called “young Earth creationism,” based on a literal reading of the Bible’s Book of Genesis that posits the Earth is only several thousand years old.

In the mere hours since Johnson was elected speaker Wednesday, he hadn’t had to address his views on creationism and evolution. But his close ties to a leader of the creationist movement and his past legal work — on behalf of the Ark Encounter creationist theme park, where children can learn that dinosaurs were passengers on Noah’s Ark — seem to suggest that he’s also personally aligned with these beliefs.

“The Ark Encounter is one way to bring people to this recognition of the truth, that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events,” Johnson said in a 2021 interview with Ark Encounter founder Ken Ham while*guest-hosting the radio show*of Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, an evangelical activist group.

Yes, because men never make things up or exaggerate.

I have to put you on ignore just because I'm tired of scrolling for an hour though each of your posts to get through your Biden hate. Let me know if you removed it or shorten it. Oh - never mind. You won't be able to.

From the Biblical scholar

I've read the Bible twice.

I don't hear a lot of "national" Christians - especially in politics - saying anything that is at all consistent with Christ's message. And there is plenty in the Bible that we can discern to be inconsistent w/ his message, as well.

Can anyone explain this? Is it a riddle?

Easy, Herr Doktor is as competent as a Biblical scholar as he is a COVID specialist.

That's interesting.


A good rule of thumb:

Fundamentalists can be evangelicals.

But not all evangelicals are fundamentalists

The guy is a total nutjob.
Anybody who doesn't recognize it is at least as much of a fucking nutjob;
and we've got millions of those.

This is where we are now, and we're totally stuck with it.

Nice job, Constitution.
