That bible he's holding amid the gassed and smoke bombed? Not really a bible – it's a Koran inside a bible cover...Pass It On!
...or maybe not, but wouldn't that be a delicious thing for his daughter to have done? Just her sort of humor, too – she'd know he'd never bother cracking it open...
And the rest, on point as usual. There is a level of certainty among the chosen, that allows for no alternative. Killing us all and letting god sort us out is pretty much understood as just practical common sense.
You have written the truth. As my husband says, these people don't worship God. They worship Power. But I imagine that if you told them they were worshipping Mammon and other devils from their particular belief system, it would not compute to them.
Posting this again: "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."
Excellent piece you've written here. And never forget that most of the signers of the great American documents owned people who were not pink or were willing to allow such immoral men write untruths into these documents. And don't forget how they treated the Native peoples from whom they stole the American continents and claimed this was their god's will.
One major error, an omission. The Republican Party and more, its billionaire supporters have done this to the United States. Trump, like despots before him is as much a sock puppet as an instigator of change.
America is a malignant tumor on world civilization. The Americans have supported every single right-wing dictatorship in Latin American history and overthrown most of its popular democracies. Americans are the most illiterate people in the developed world and the most deluded. Americans are mass murderers and torturers and should not be allowed visas to most other nations.
Powerful piece- no punches pulled. Thank you.

The Right. America's Taliban. Trying to start a religious war over perverse ideals.
