Southern Baptist leaders called Kamala Harris a ‘Jezebel.’ That’s not just insulting, it’s dangerous, experts say.
The Biblical reference has a long history of being used to justify violence against Black women in the United States

...which explains, of course, why disgusting racists like Whell are all for it...

Faith is belief without tangible proof of veracity. I do not have that kind of faith.

Faith is just believing something because you believe it. In the case of the established religions, we're used to that and sort of accept it. It's kind of jarring when all of a sudden it's 'belief in pedophile Democrats led by lizard people,' but it's really the same thing.

If by faith one accepts a virgin born savior sent from heaven who redeems mankind by dying on a cross then it's not such a stretch to believe anything else. And because of that it's time to re-establish the separation of church and state.

The Wasting of the Evangelical Mind
The peculiarities of how American Christianity took shape help explain believers’ vulnerability to conspiratorial thinking and misinformation.

https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily...angelical-mind

Quote:
It was among the most jarring scenes of the Capitol invasion, on January 6th. As rioters milled about on the Senate floor, a long-haired man in a red ski cap bellowed, from the dais, “Jesus Christ, we invoke your name!” A man to his right––the so-called QAnon Shaman, wearing a fur hat and bull horns atop his head, and holding an American flag—raised a megaphone and began to pray. Others in the chamber bowed their heads. “Thank you, heavenly Father, for being the inspiration needed to these police officers to allow us into the building, to allow us to exercise our rights, to allow us to send a message to all the tyrants, the Communists, and the globalists, that this is our nation, not theirs, that we will not allow the America, the American way of the United States of America, to go down,” he said. “Thank you, divine, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent creator God for filling this chamber with your white light and love, your white light of harmony. Thank you for filling this chamber with patriots that love you and love Christ.”
Sigh.

I did not come here today...to tell you...about Jesus.

And I did not come here to today...to ask...for your money.

(what a sickness)

It's all real, though. Created, just like the Judea / Christian origin "mythos" claims.

England sent their religious zealots to America.
England also sent their criminals to Australia.
We in Australia are convinced that we got the better half of the deal.

Interesting. The "religious zealots" created the greatest, most powerful and (at least until recently) freest land of opportunity to ever exist. The "criminals" created a modern East Germany during the pandemic.
