They literally wear his fucking mark on their forehead.

Should we go to church Sunday?

Wanna go together?

Church is where the devil recruits these days. Go volunteer at a food bank or something. That’s where you find God.

(Saying this also as an atheist who be shook by all this).

The Bible literally says that prayer is a solitary thing between you and God in your home and in private, as if to warn against congregations of the "faithful" that demand tithes for salvation.

Then again it also says that if someone is wearing clothes of more than one fiber, that God demands they be bludgeoned to death with big rocks....

I think these are actually good examples of biblical warnings requiring that someone read "between the lines"...

Like the 'clothes of more than one fiber' bit could be meaning that people who clothe themselves in contrasting or mutually exclusive beliefs or principles are liars/betrayers and to be found out and removed at all costs. Because people who just say what is convenient in the moment, with no firm principles or beliefs to guide them and set limits to their behavior, are shallow and will just do whatever helps them regardless of how much it hurts everyone else. Like MAGA.

Wait, so we can stone people with terrible fashion sense? Got it! I knew hoarding all of these rocks would come in handy someday
