Jojo from Jersey on Speaker Mike Johnson:

Because I sure as shit am not a biblical scholar, but I know enough to know this: Moses didn’t block the Red Sea to protect the pharaoh. He didn’t stand at the edge yelling, “You’re hurting Pharaoh’s feelings.” He didn’t roll his eyes at the Israelites and say, “Who paid you to march?” He lifted his staff, split the damn water, and got shit done, something you wouldn’t understand if God personally handed you a to-do list and a GPS.

You are not Moses. You are not righteous. You are not brave.

You are a coward in cufflinks, a fraud in a prayer circle, a malfunctioning sermon in human form. And history will remember you as exactly what you are, the man who mistook cowardice for faith, corruption for leadership, and silence for salvation.

And when the truth finally floods the gates you’ve been guarding, I hope you can swim, Mike. Because the sea is rising.

he suggests that demon basic training includes learning to "transform yourself into an angel of light as a parade ground exercise." Johnson must have been blinded by the light.

"All said and done, my friends, it will be an ill day for us if what most humans mean be "Religion" ever vanishes from earth. It can still serve us the most delicious sins. Nowhere do we tempt so successfully as on the very steps of the alter."

Screwtape, page 15 of "Screwtape Proposes a Toast" by C. S. Lewis

Mikey, he's talking about you.
