Someone (here?) has already speculated that the ShitGibbon is an anti-christ, if not the anti-christ. I'll leave that discussion up to theologians.
Almost hoping that the Rapture does happen, so these non-devout Xtians wake up one morning and realize that their sky-daddy royally fucked them over!
Almost!

(49,001 posts)Their ideology has become Randite objectivism with a veneer of "personal responsibility" and "family values". They say that when the government helps the needy it is stealing from hard working families and rewarding irresponsible people. They blame the poor and disabled for being poor and disabled.
That is not Christian. But they are blinded by their greed.
They are also very shortsighted. Crushing people impoverishes a nation's best resource: its people. Creating enormous gaps in wages and wealth divides a nation. They don't have the imagination to see that personal responsibility is easily rewarded at the same time as the needy can be cared for. A nation's greatness is not measured by the richness of its oligarchs (plutocrats), but by the care it provides for all its citizens.
A Democracy Of The People is only one if it takes care of the people.
