In reply to the discussion: Mrs Betty Bowers, Re:This this puritanical pixie, and his placebo of prayer. [View all]MorbidButterflyTat
(3,342 posts)46. They use the label
of "Christian," for themselves and wear ridiculous giant crosses, hold open bibles while attempting to look pious, and pose for pictures of themselves gathered around the fugly felon with their eyes closed, as simple signals, like "radical left," "feminazis," "Hilary Clinton," "Obama," etc., are used as triggering signals that something or someone is "bad" and they should hate whatever or whoever is targeted.
There's no depth of thought. It's Pavlovian.
There's no ideology other than hate, greed and stupidity.

Good for her. Jesus Christians know what Jesus said about fake pious men like Johnson... they're 'pharisaic christians'

You are not paid a government salary to pray. Perhaps reconsider your career and join the seminary.
