Jesus (that I grew up with) has NO resemblance to the evil of today. They are not true believers in the biblical Jesus or they would be in fear for their immortal soul. It’s all in the Bible folks, you know, the Gospels

However, like the constitution they cherry-pick the bits and pieces of the scriptures that support their talking points. The evil genius of the repugs is they are ALL able to get behind a message (wrong though it may be) and control the airwaves and propaganda being spewed to the masses.

Money talks and money in politics distorts: follow the money: look at the websites for Donor's Trust and Federalist Society or the Koch Foundation. Frightening

Cherry-pick then reinterpret to support their own "talking points".

Jeri, YES. The Good News. Still works, as simply defined by “that Nazarene.”

I haven’t labeled myself a “Christian” for a long time. Simply a follower of Christ. Absolutely fine with the real Madison, not the Barrian lie. (As I said to Mike S: Barr and his ilk want an intolerant autocratic theocracy to replace our beloved democracy. Their deity is the Self, not the Creator — whether they realize it or not. And it is always about heaven or hell, isn’t it.)

Judging is way, way above my pay grade; however, we are given the ability to “know” (Paul) the wolves, and call them out — and RUN.
