Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Okay so you’re completely unprompted for this one but I think it’s really funny. Also, I think it underlies a large minority in the United States who vote with passion. They have money, they have large numbers, and they are politically active more than a lot of other voices in the United States. So, Christian televangelist Rick Wiles has claimed vegan burgers are a component of a satanic plot to destroy individual souls and stop them from becoming born again Christians. Your take.
Rick Rosner: Well he’s just one more fucking know-nothing Evangelical asshole. I’m sure there are tens of millions of decent Evangelical Christians in America. But a huge segment of Evangelical Christians in America have just abandoned reason and just become like reactionary which is a huge turn back in the 60s and 70s for people who just viciously defend some kind of shitty status quo. If you just shop around Evangelical preachers there’s no limit to the assholery you can find. I don’t know what his chain of logic is but fuck him and the people that he deceives with his ignorant ass bullshit. Maybe he has visions that tell him this stuff, doesn’t matter he’s still an asshole and he’s not alone.
As I’ve said several times in various ways, among Evangelical preachers, the worst of them are among the worst people in America. I wish Jesus would show up and do a reverse rapture and take the 8000 worst/most influential worst people in the world, with 2000 spots reserved for the worst of influential Americans and just rapture their asses to a moon of Jupiter, I guess the Io, where Jesus being Jesus, he’ll have God build them comfortable quarters but several light hours away from the rest of us. And there would be spots in the reverse rapture for some of these assholes.
The Republicans figured out probably around in the 70s that they should team up with or try to capture strong Christians and over the next 50 years they captured the least Christian Christians. Using issues like abortion they’ve persuaded a bunch of malleable gullible jerks that any extreme is justified to bring some version of the Kingdom of Heaven to America including the dumb versions in the Book of Revelations which is full of apocalypse and bloodshed. There is just millions of asshole Christians in America who think it’s the end times and welcome the blood and trouble of end times and short of that will still believe any kind of ridiculous bullshit.
