An Old Testament Smiting for Trump?

Who says the days of Old Testament style miracles are over? I can think of a couple of contemporary examples off the top of my head.

The US invades Iraq, a country in the heart of the Middle East, on false pretenses, when it already has more than it can maintain in Afganistan or expect to be able to walk away from anytime soon.

The Lord responds to that great act of dumbassery and has an African-American sharing the same Muslim name as the deposed Iraqi dictator elected President of the United States. Coincidence is the hand of God at work, or at least that is what I learned as a boy. Continue reading “An Old Testament Smiting for Trump?”

Trump: God’s Gift To America

Trump: God’s Gift To America

For God so loved the world, that he gave us Donald J. Trump, the only man  who can save America.

1 Share = 1 Prayer.

Better than Jesus. Donald J. Trump. He’s huge.

[I have always loved this painting because of when and where I saw it as a boy, and it caused me physical pain to deface this it with Trump’s face. But I figured that the harm that evangelicals were doing to Christianity by supporting Trump and insisting they were still followers of Christ was much worse than anything I could do with a piece of unauthorized political art.

It actually made me proud to have grown up Mormon that so many members of the LDS church were vocal critics of Trump during the election. After hearing all my life from fundamentalists that Mormons aren’t really Christians, it was nice to see a very public demonstration of who was who on the stuff that counts. -J.]

Why Mansplaining Is A Great Term

Mansplaining is a great term to use because:

  • no woman is ever overbearing or condescending or domineering in her speech, especially toward her spouse.
  • our speech should always include some word that belittles a gender, race, or identity.
  • the word gives great insight into how people who describe themselves as open-minded and progressive actually are.
  • it is used by those who automatically expect agreement and sympathy when they say a word offends them, and so by using it yourself, you automatically gain the right to scream at people how much the word offends you.
  • no true progress can be made in gender equality if we fail to adhere to the tried-and-true practice of sexual stereotypes.

Uncle Joe’s Curse On The Heads Of American Youth

Currently there is something in particular that you really dislike about how people are talking in youth-sploitation movies or Youtube gaming channels or reality television or somewhere else in commercial media with a lot of hype and marketing going on.

Maybe it’s diction, maybe it’s intonation of some type, maybe both, maybe something else. Whatever it is, it is something you find annoying in itself but also annoying because it is frequently imitated by people who spend most of their free time watching trash media of some type.
