1. "No longer a believer in organized religion"

Since he can't use it to fleece the flock anymore

2. Why so shocked? Christians saw this w/ their very own eyes day in, day out and IGNORED it.

These pretend religions are one big reason why Americans by the tens of millions are dropping affiliations w/ 'organized religions' (as they call themselves this, I prefer to call them a religious mafia).

It's the same Jerry Falwell Jr. story, with all the tweets collected together.

I'd say it's shocking, but I'm not surprised. So much phony, self-serving posing going on in those "Christian" groups.

9. French is not wrong on one thing.

American Christiandom is rotted to the core. When preachers are backing rapist, thieves and liars for high office and calling decent honest hard working charitable people who keep their vow "evil", well there's not much hope at that point.
