Gilead gets one step closer...

Mike Johnson, theocrat: the House speaker and a plot against America

The new House speaker, Mike Johnson, knows how he will rule: according to his Bible. When asked on Fox News how he would make public policy, he replied: “Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my worldview.” But it’s taking time for the full significance of that statement to sink in. Johnson is in fact a believer in scriptural originalism, the view that the Bible is the truth and the sole legitimate source for public policy.
And ....
Johnson’s inerrant biblical truth leads him to reject science. Johnson was a “young earth creationist”, holding that a literal reading of Genesis means that the earth is only a few thousand years old and humans walked alongside dinosaurs. He has been the attorney for and partner in Kentucky’s Creation Museum and Ark amusement park, which present these beliefs as scientific fact, a familiar sleight of hand where the end (garnering more believers) justifies the means (lying about science). For them, the end always justifies the means. That’s why they don’t even blink when non-believers suffer for their dogma.

What a great world we live in

@sunsporter1649 till it ends ;)
I read the Handmaids Tale way back when it was new 70's

even then I saw that we were headed towards thocratic rule..
sooo many will give up freedom, if only to have someone tell them what to do
I mean it can't be that bad can it? I rather liked singing hymns in the school assembly.

Better vote Democrat. Now it's just about preserving our Republic.
Convivial · 26-30, F
@BohemianBoo i think it's even more about preserving the right to think for yourself and not dismiss evidence based science
@Convivial We'll still have that right as long as we have freedom of religion. But if we lose our democratic elections, we lose everything. The Republicans could just ban anything that contradicts their party doctrine.

So be prepared for war after war endlessly.

@DeWayfarer the problem with fanatics is they never stop
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Convivial exactly. Until it's all just one great big war! 😞
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Convivial That's exactly what the Bible shows... "Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to WAR"! 😡

Well we all know if you don't know it, it couldn't have happened.

@Virgo79 huh?

Going to be an interesting election.
Convivial · 26-30, F
@Subsumedpat it could be the beginning of the fabled "end times" of democracy...

@Convivial And the return of the Constitutional Republic
Convivial · 26-30, F
@sunsporter1649 I'm not too sure what that means?
Counsellor · 41-45, F
Renaci · 36-40
The fact that so many in Congress literally want a different form of government is literally treason. But the US can no longer enforce its own laws. Yet at the same time has massive amounts of nukes that will fall into the hands of warlords when the US falls into a second civil war.
Convivial · 26-30, F
@Renaci unfortunately it's looking more and more like that...
EdVoyer · 61-69, M
@Renaci It really is that in a nutshell. Well said.
