    Mike Johnson is so afraid of sinning that he has his son policing his masturbation habits. And yet he seems to have no problem bearing false witness.

    I mean, he’s also ignoring all the parts about seeking justice, and how to treat the poor, the alien, the least of these etc. But that’s all policy and I’m sure he thinks that doesn’t count because it’s not him doing it personally. But when he lies about his opponents he is personally, intentionally breaking one of the commandments. Not that I expect any better from that humanoid shit stain, but it’s worth pointing out. One more hypocrisy for the pile.

    And of course, it’s even more telling that he feels the need to lie. He can’t acknowledge what the protests are about or why the shut down is happening because he knows that most people would support those positions.

    Sort of like how most people would prefer he not dismiss congress early in order to shield pedophiles from justice.

      Religion isn’t just about selective persecution. What’s more important is selective application. Rules for thee, not for me.

        That’s true, but I don’t think it’s quite the reason.

        Religion is about vibes.

        Not even all the MAGAts are so psychopathic to feel absolutely no remorse or empathy (although some very much are). This is where religion comes in. It gives them small stuff they can not do (eat meat on fridays, masturbate, not go to church, etc.) It also forbids some larger stuff (murder, lying, profiteering, etc.) but the church is set up in such a way that you can always repent and it’s as forgiven as your minister says. If you’ve got a good minister, he’ll absolve you of all guilt!

        Some people have remaining guilt still weighing down on their soul. This can be gotten rid off by not doing the inconsequential things.

        In other words - steal millions of taxpayers’ money, but it’s all forgiven if you don’t eat meat on friday and go to church on sunday!

        To be honest, church is probably our hypothetical person made their million dollar deal.
