If the rubes want to believe he is a prophet of God who am I to question them?

A long long time ago.

That's how I knew what "redleg" denoted. Thanks for your service.

IMO, the worst was The Children’s’ Crusade.

A “holy man” traveled around villages in Europe. Parents willingly surrendered their children to him. He told them that God chose the children to free the Holy Land from Infidels. But when they got to the Coast, he sold the children into slavery.

parts of it. Wearing a cross necklace is the most popular manifestation of this. Public prayer, outside of a church -- like Pete Hegseth does, is all performative.

I have a lot of Xtian fundamentalist relatives -- all of them huge proponents of "traditional values" - but their actual personal lives are a sh!tshow of hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance. I don't consider them religious, so much as play-acting at religion.

I haven't figured it out yet. My best guess is that they justify the dissonance by saying Democrats are worse. A recent example: "I really dislike that Trump is doing/has said X. But the Democrats are worse."

They are also successful at blackmailing Congress members and they too are self serving greedy which helps the corrupt succeed.

tRump is just the ringmaster entertainer to does all their bidding for greed and accolades....

It's finally hitting them....

Anyone who thinks they're god, will destroy your life....
