Pray tell us, which deluded Christian website did you get it from? Or is this artwork creation your own?

I made it by combining a Roman Colosseum scene with the Astrodome.

The delusional hyperbole on display by those whining, paranoid fundy kooks is getting out of hand.

It was made up by the early church for the same reason nowadays we get those "10 miles through snow, uphill both ways" tales.

The "You kids got it good nowadays..." syndrome.

Just joking, in a spirit of religious sarcasm and feigned persecution complex, of course! It seems like we were both on the same wavelength regarding the Koch money: I was squinting real hard at all the logos for those religio-political organizations that flashed across the screen to see if Americans for Prosperity, or any other Koch backed organization was in there. But heck, they can create ad hoc front groups at the drop of a hat, to suit the occasion. Maybe the correct answer is all of the above, and they are all newly created Koch front groups. Yep - whatever puts up an "us against them" smokescreen to bewilder, aggravate and confuse American voters as to who the real enemy is in this election serves their purpose. As the number one demagogues and fathers of lies in these midterm elections, even a sworn atheist would have to declare that the Koch brothers were the spawn of Satan!

I get such a kick out of that movie--I know it's not supposed to be a comedy, but it always brings a laugh. Felt kinda sorry for the creature, but now I know its fate--threatening Israel from the sea, gettin' ready to bring on Armageddon.

Thanks for the memory!

"psy·cho·sis
sīˈkōsəs/
noun
noun: psychosis; plural noun: psychoses

a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality."

Fits their mindset perfectly.

Ahh yes, the poor persecuted Christians. Why won't the courts let them ram their religion down everyone's throat??? Damn that Constitution!
Basically what these right-wing idiots want is a theocracy. It's fascism wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. And what are those "Christian values" by the way? Since this is a Religious Right event it has to be banning abortion, stopping gay rights, turning women into nothing but breeding machines, teaching creationism in our public schools and putting up Ten Commandment plaques everywhere. Yep that will make this nation "Godly" again. >sigh< Lord, save us from your followers!
