Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
~Daniel 3:14-18
...
I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; ~Exodus 20:2-5

I saw this last night at work.
Again.
I keep writing about this shit. What the fuck part of "There's something seriously wrong with this motherfucker" don't you understand?? Normal people don't talk about people literally dying to vote for them.
Trumpism is a Death Cult, and Trump apparently thinks he's some kind of Necromantic Jesus.
I mean, how the fuck would you know what's "Worth it" to a dead guy or not??
Would you summon his ghost and ask him? I can't make this shit make sense.
I get it, okay, Republicanism ain't what it used to be. What I don't get is how has this shit effectively become a death cult dedicated to their Lord and Savior Donald Trump??
First off, it's utter nonsense.
Second, I was both a Christian and a Republican for a majority of my life. How...in light of, ya know, basic beliefs like the Ten Commandments...is this bullshit permissible?? I mean "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me" is literally the first rule, why is this hard??
If you don't believe, you don't believe. That's fine. This is America in the 21st goddamn century, hell, nobody other than "Christian" "Conservatives" really cares.
But it's those fucking people...not the rest of us who they call Godless freaks...that are the ones worshiping Trump and listening to every lie he farts out of his mouth that looks like an anus.
It's idolatry, pure and simple.
You wanna worship Trump, do it. Nobody really gives a damn except, allegedly, you. But you have to stop calling yourself a Christian first, because one of these things is simply not like the other one.
And no, you don't get to say that "It's not idolatry when you do it."
And let's get one thing straight, "We" did not make *You* worship Trump, you fuckers made that choice yourselves.
These fucking people literally built a Golden Image of Trump and worshiped it...going on three years ago now.
You cannot reason with that level of hypocrisy and/or stupidity, in the same way that the Ukrainians cannot reason with Russians who don't think they have a right to exist.
No, you can't.
But you know what you can do??
But you can fight against this bullshit, you can show up and outvote it, and there's all sorts of other stuff you can do.
You want a better country? Be a better citizen!
If being a better citizen and giving a shit about your neighbors...or living in a society and voting and shit...didn't matter, these assholes wouldn't be trying to take all that away and replace it with culture wars, death cults and golden idols.
But what happens, Christians, when your Golden Emperor starts threatening to throw anybody who won't bow down and worship him into the fiery furnace??
But remember, this is America.
The whole damn point is, you can say "No."
Слава Україна!
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
