About four-in-ten U.S. adults believe humanity is 'living in the end times' (Pew)

75. Nonsense

They follow some of the parts of that manual you don't follow. That doesn't mean they don't follow the same deity.

I get real tired of y'all calling these people "fake" members of their religion.

Tell you what--go tell my idiot cousin's fundie preacher husband that he doesn't follow that deity. The guy who really has read the book, cover to cover, and requires ALL of his congregants to do the same. The guy who does all that stuff about helping his neighbors and ministering to the sick and poor and imprisoned. He brings them food when they're short on money to buy it, has loaned them untold thousands of dollars to cover a $10 shortfall on their utility bills, and even does house repairs for people when they need them, while asking only for the help with buying the supplies.

Good grief, his wife, my idiot cousin, on top of all the visits to the elderly, the hospitals and the prisons, throws a party at the Sunday school for the kids having birthdays that week, with a cake she makes herself, because, for some of them, their parents are too poor to afford a party or even a dang cake. Or they're working themselves to death to stay afloat and are too tired for it.

And yet my cousin and her husband are both still right wing conservatives, through and through.

As an atheist and liberal, I don't agree with them on much of anything, but I won't lie that they they aren't followers of their deity, when I know full well that they are. I even find them admirable for their constant acts of generosity, however misguided I find the reasons for it.

You should be ashamed of yourself for judging people you know NOTHING about.
