(1,671 posts)We should take them at their word. Despite their certainty that they do "his will," they can't really be sure what god they're worshipping. They are however extraordinarily devoted, fanatical one might say.

(2,114 posts)Ok, if you are of the notion that god is All Things, then wouldn't you also have to agree that "warped versions of god" that embrace HATE as a central tenet--such as the Taliban and the Republican TaliBornAgains--are simply a part of overall god. Therefore, perversions of god's gospel such as lying, cheating, and rank hypocrisy are all peachy keen, perfectly fine. They are, in fact, "godly."
I suspect that deep within the clogged, overflowing sewage system of Republican brains they kinda think like that.

The perversion of what is "Godly" is necessary so it can be used as a tool to control others. To define others as the enemy. To justify the taking of life.

Think of it this way "hey, I did my part guiding the research and development of this vaccine. You need to do your part!"

TWO Sharia/Islam/Taliban have no issues (at all) with vaccination.
But they have a hell of a lot of issues with CIA operations in Pakistan run under the cover of vaccine outreach. Look it up.

(23,182 posts)Since men can rape any woman they want with zero penalty and women get killed for the "should be" criminal acts of their brethren, they are in line with the Texas Taliban - almost 100%. Once the American Taliban decide that women are nothing but incubators, watch the right to education fall and the right to any form of birth control whatsoever for women end. That is the real end game for the committed right wing facists/terrorists.
