@georgetakei I call them lunatics.
Imagine a world without religion....what a wonderful world that would be.

@georgetakei
Tell her her auto mechanic is not mentioned in the Bible. Neither is her private jet.

@georgetakei The Bible Includes:

- Talking Snakes
- Giants
- Six-hundred Year Old Men
- Zero Helicopters

The Bible is an artifact, a description of what our civilization once was. It has no place in modern society whatsoever.

@georgetakei Bible doesn't mention cars either but I bet she uses those... also in the bible... unicorns.

@georgetakei @lisamelton bible is a fiction. Besides, dyeing one’s hair isn’t in the bible either, but here we are

@georgetakei *sigh* Venti Lattes in thermo mugs are also not in the Bible, and yet... 🙄

@georgetakei almost completely agrees
when the popes say *that’s fascism and it’s wrong*, i want to hear from the pope on government

@georgetakei POTUS swear on the Bible, what did you expect ?

@georgetakei

This person hasn't read the end of the book. There are a LOT of major climate events. The sky fucking bleeds. Burning hail...lots of lighting...winds...a bunch of angels farting....

No dude. Climate gets fucked HARD and then everyone dies horribly and then the whole world is destroyed. Last two seals you do NOT want to be around exactly because the climate will be VERY inhospitable to human life.

They haven't read the book. It's just laughably apparent.

@georgetakei What does the Bible say about airplanes?

I mean, you can choose to believe in this shit if you like. You can believe in ghosts and witches and Santa, but when your delusions start effecting my life, my children’s lives, you can fuck all the way off with those fantasies. Preach in your own damn church, and pay for it with your own damn tithes.

@georgetakei These people have obviously never read the Bible:

"We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty [...] for destroying those who destroy the earth."
- Revelation 11:17-18

@georgetakei I have hundreds of books but I don't rely on just one of them to shape my beliefs and actions. I cannot fathom people who say the Bible is the b all and end all. It's just a book written by humans - like millions of other books.

@georgetakei @lisamelton Clearly she hasn’t read The Good Book because climate change is in there. Idiot.

@georgetakei This woman is not THE Church, because she is nothing more than a pathetic person who is evangelical, fundamentalist, biblicist, and creationist. And there are definitely far too many of them in the White House and in Trump’s inner circle!

@georgetakei Global warming seems to make a guest appearance in the last book of the Bible: “a third of the trees” burning, the “sea turning to blood,” and “scorching heat”

@georgetakei The Bible literally ends with an extended metaphor in which an oppressive empire is cast as "the Beast".

@georgetakei Religion is a disease of the mind.

@georgetakei New gen of kids surely look at this and go lolwat?

@georgetakei incompetence and sheer stupidity..

@georgetakei

Neither was WWII

@georgetakei

Franson normally only comes out after the sun goes down.
Sunlight burns.

@georgetakei

Franson is one of the dimmest bulbs in the legislature. She’s as dim or dimmerer than Pam Altendorf.

Why do the GOPers keep electing these idiots? They’re not Christians, and contrary to their claims, they have not read the ‘Good Book.’

One has 5 kids, the other has 3. They’re trad wives with a combined IQ of -182.

@georgetakei

Holy rolling clowns.

@georgetakei Is she really that dumb? I guess people have abrogated rationality that much, it explains a lot...

@georgetakei

Are mobile devices or social networking in the good book? Palantir? Nukes? Detention centres? Fake Christians?

@georgetakei Mental illness deserves to be treated privately but the rest of us shouldn't be subjected to her illness. Recall her and elect someone who understands the role of government.

@georgetakei Pretty sure that seperation of church and state is constitutional. But these treasonous people aren't concerned with the constitution now, are they?

@georgetakei Wait til she sees how the world ends in Rogue One, it will blow her mind

@georgetakei People following this shit are dumb as fuck. Perfect GOP material.

@georgetakei Two and a half centuries, and still hoping.

@georgetakei Utterly bonkers. Empirical evidence, baby! We got it, you don't!

@georgetakei
literal morons in positions that matter
ignorance elevated b/c "elites" and "woke"
dumbfuqs

@georgetakei
Cell phones and the internet are not in the bible so they can't exist either.

@georgetakei so if this woman doesn’t believe in climate change; she probably won’t like the part where the Bible says judgment is coming for unbelievers

@georgetakei maybe Climate Change isn't in the Bible because God expected us to be smart enough to recognize it and figure out what to do about it.

Yeah, he greatly overestimated us

@georgetakei Clearly this is the same grounds for creating war in the Middle East then, to bring on the end of the world before climate change destruction happens. Utter madness.

@georgetakei

One thing these fools can't seem to understand is that climate changes won't destroy the planet. The planet will survive the loss of humanity as a species.

@georgetakei The Bible is also silent on the issue of shooting yourself it the foot. If there is a God, he probably figures is people are that stupid then evolution should just take its course.

@georgetakei I’ve had nightmares about being The One during first contact. The reason is, whoever it is that they choose is (at some point) going to have to explain to them that a good portion of the planet believes in an invisible ancient sky dad that controls everything that ever was or will be. Including them, presumably. Oh, and three of the biggest groups all believe in the same skydad but each thinks he loves them most. Hard pass

@georgetakei
I agree 💯 politics shouldn't be merged with religion.

@georgetakei I'd rather say that a lot of the politicians in our world abuse religion to prove their points.

But no religion is here to prove that any of us is right. Religion is here to form us to be better people, to care for each other, to have a moral ground.

What these politicians so completely ignores is that their actions speaks louder than anything.

Such politicians coming with such claims as Mrs. Franson, who defends the way they treat their citizens (like, health care, immigration, helping people in need) should also point out where in the "Good Book" it says anything about refusing to help people in need, undignified behaviour towards immigrants, spreading hatred among the population, segregation of communities, refusing to help their own people getting proper health care.

Such politicians should be held accountable against the religion they claim to defend. And trust me, they would all fall like flies if you start digging into the gory religious details - regardless of the religion.

No religion is suitable for a "cherry pick your own faith". You need to take it fully in.

These politicians are abusing religious statements to gain more power and wealth for themselves. Nothing more, noting less.

@georgetakei 100% agree, but I´d go further. These people live by aesthetically associating themselves with "social merit badges" such as "patriot" or "christian" that get them social points. They are neither, so don´t let them do that. If they want to be recognized as tough, they need to not TACO. If they want to be Christian, they need to stop acting like the hell-bound Fake Christian goats of Matthew 25, kidnapping their foreign brothers and sisters. Just some strategy thoughts.

@georgetakei
I agree that would be best. But failing that, let's tell them that CO2 and methane turn people gay.

@georgetakei the bible never mentioned the internet or bitcoin but here we are

@georgetakei
And that includes the religion of money!

@georgetakei There is an entire doomsday cult being built out of MAGA.

A lady at work is constantly going on about it. It seems deliberate. Like the cult asking you to drink to Kool aid.

It's tiring.
