“I’ll tell you a secret, since media is not here. Thank you for not allowing the media in. Look, I’m a Southern Baptist, I don’t wanna get too spooky on you, But, you know, the Lord speaks to your heart.
“The Lord began to wake me up, through this three-week process, in the middle of night to speak to me. The Lord impressed upon my heart a few weeks before this happened that something was going to occur.
“And the Lord very specifically told me in my prayers to prepare, but to wait. At the time, I assumed the Lord was going to choose a new Moses and thank you, Lord, you’re going to allow me to be Aaron to Moses.
“I had this sense that we were going to come to a Red Sea moment in our Republican conference and in the county at large. God had been speaking to me about this, and the Lord told me very clearly to prepare and be ready.
“Ultimately 13 people ran for the post. And the Lord kept telling me to, ‘Wait, wait, wait.’ So I waited, I waited. And then at the end the Lord said, ‘Now step forward.’
“Me? I’m supposed to be Aaron. ‘No,’ the Lord said, ‘Step forward.’” – Mike Johnson, speaking last night to the far-right National Association of Christian Lawmakers.
This man is a true believer. True believers do not compromise anything that goes against what they believe their religion tells them. This man is far more dangerous than Donald Trump, who is simply a grifter and was in it for himself. This guy thinks the gods have ordained him. Anybody who stands against him is going against God, in his own mind.
“When you talk to god, that’s prayer. When god talks to you that’s schizophrenia.”
In a more rational time, he’d be diagnosed with delusional psychosis and locked in a mental asylum. Today, he speaker of the House of Representatives.
He’s definitely a delusional psycho, but it turns out that isn’t a dealbreaker for today’s Republican party.
LITERAL blasphemy. Like actual, textbook blasphemy. And his sycophants lap it up.
Yep. Christcucks regularly blaspheme without even realizing it since their knowledge of the religion is only surface level.
If Jesus happens to be real, the Christians are the least likely group to make it into Heaven.
If they actually read the Bible they would be shocked to find that Jesus was a tree hugging hippie socialist.
You mean like this? (newsweek article)
Yeah but god was a nasty, jealous, violent, abusive, hateful asshole (all very petty human emotions) in the Old Testament.
Can’t pick and choose. And no, Jesus didn’t nullify the laws of the Old Testament. He literally said that himself.
These people literally listen to the voice in their brain, the one we all have, and tell themselves it’s god.
I grew up as a southern Baptist. I suffered physical, sexual and emotional abuse the entire time I was there as a child. Getting out was like escaping a cult. Southern Baptists are abusive, extremist psychos.
Sounds like it was a cult. I escaped from the Mormon Church once upon a time and for a long time I didn’t really see that church as a cult until I examined it using Steven Hassan’s BITE model. I also started relating to a lot of experiences from former cult members like this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldTMLhTMZAc
That dude is terrifying
I promise you his son is not ok. Nobody in an extremist religion comes out ok. Assuming he ever wakes up and escapes, that is.
He’s been made responsible for his father’s porn use. That is just one example we know of. Fundamentalist Christianity is damaging in a lot of ways without having to keep your own dad from watching porn.
Oh yeah, of course he has procreated. His son will probably end up being a monster too
Well, when you and dad are porn prevention buddies… I imagine that leaves an impact.
