Religious lunacy, take 4,560,321,338,494

It would be nice to just pay no attention to the religious wackos in our midst, but some of them are in positions of authority and power! And a whole lot of them have guns.

Several people are claiming God has spoken to them about Donald Trump! For entirely different reasons than me, they too think that Trump is a tool!

And Michele Bachmann is saying that, yes, of course the Religious Right wants Israel to be destroyed, because the Babble says that has to happen before Jesus comes back!! Talk about your love/hate relationships.

The idea that this insanity could affect foreign relations is tragic and chilling.

Judgment is already here!

We're all lucky to be alive.

1. Broad brush time

How can believers look at themselves in the mirror knowing they are in the same club as these lunatics? Their holy book and their arguments defending it are the same.

2. Please note that Trump is the only one they've got who isn't a religious nutbag

who gets messages from gawd and wears Jesus out on his sleeve while he runs for Pope instead of president. I think this is a huge source of his appeal, they're sick to death of being sold out by sanctimonious frauds.

Yes, they've had a couple of more or less secular candidates on stage in 2008 and 2012, but those were mild mannered guys like Huntsman who were completely drowned out by the Jesus jumpers. Trump isn't being drowned out by anyone.

3. Probably because Trump thinks he himself is God.

4. I wonder what King Cyrus' hair looked like...

I wonder what Obama's demon spirit in Kenya does with his hair....

Religion is so ridiculous.

5. Regarding Bachmann's comment

about wanting Israel destroyed so that Jesus can come back.......these people know less about their God and their Bible than I do. If they really do believe, they should know that God doesn't need their help to bring the end of the world about when He is ready to do so. The desire to push the plan ahead of schedule by their own actions just shows that they don't have faith that God will do it.

6. Agan on Bachman's worldview, I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it alarming

that we have two opposing religious factions pining for and actively working toward bringing about the end of days?

And they dare to call us amoral?
