Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:
‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
Are not the least among the rulers of Judah;
For out of you shall come a Ruler
Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ”
Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”
When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way. ~Matthew 2, New King James Version
Imagine thinking that today's Project 2025 Prosperity Gospel-infected Holy Roller-controlled Christian Nationalist insane Republican Party isn't Christian Nationalist enough.
To the point, not of asking "Can they be more Christian Nationalist" but of outright thinking that the Republicans are deserving of "Invasion."
(And here These Fucking People were worried about illegal immigration? What are they gonna do when they get overrun by freakish Pentecostals trying to jam the Jesus all the way up they ass rather than immigrants who just need like, jobs and shit??)
I'm serious. Listen to me.
You think things are bad now?!?!
Ignore this garbage and wait and see what happens when These Motherfuckers get some power somewhere.
Please don't take me up on that.
Like I said, Hell No, and I say that as a former Republican.
Because whatever freakish bullshit they have going on now, it can only ever get worse...at least until it finally becomes unsustainable for the person spewing that crap and then they might stop, maybe for awhile, maybe on a more permanent basis.
But it's a rare Pentecostal even that's on the way out that doesn't go back to give it another try at least once. I'm serious, People get addicted to this BS.
This isn't "religion" in the conventional sense. It's dopamine hits and narcissism, sanctified.
And it's a hell of a drug.
When men stop believing in God, it isn't that they then believe in nothing: they believe in everything. ~Umberto Eco
These fucking people don't believe in God, so much as they believe in their own brain chemicals.
The problem is that they don't know the fucking difference.
My ex-wife never, so far as I know, ever fully kicked the habit. And that's fine, I don't care. It's not my problem anymore. She has that right, and to her credit she doesn't seem to care about trying to control and manipulate other people's lives anymore...or at least she leaves me the fuck alone.
Other people have yet to understand that, though.
We've got to take the neighborhood back. We've got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It's right around the corner. It's standing on the corner. It can't speak English. It doesn't want to speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk. "Why you ain't where you is go." I don't know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't land a plane with "why you ain't…". You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they're moving ahead on this? Well, they know they're not, they're just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you're just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out. ~Bill Cosby, the "Pound Cake" speech.
It's Idiocracy, but far more malevolent than that.
It's all the relentlessness of MAGA, with none of the moral character.
And yes I mean that with all the sarcasm and scorn you can imagine.
However bad you think this mutant Christian Nationalist Pentecostal shit is, it's worse.
Like I said, imagine thinking today's MAGA Republican Party needs to be invaded and taken over for Holy Roller Jesus.
Yes, think about that for a second.
You either believe in freedom or you don't.
And you're either willing to fight for it, or you're not.
It's Christmas, this is a hard, stressful time of year for a lot of people.
Now imagine how people who never think you can Jesus it up enough might make that.
Слава Україна!
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. ~Luke 2:1-14
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those...moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain. Time to die. ~Roy Batty, Blade Runner.
