A Tale Of Two Americas

"Get Oooouyuuutttttttt. We don't worship Buddha. We worship the one true God....Jeeesssuuuuu Christ."

Sorry Buddha, if that is your real name, you're not going to American heaven.

OK, crazy much. It just proves the point that religion is exclusive and religion divides. Pastor Dennis Terry, when introducing Butt Juice, made a mountain of logical fallacies while trying to prove his talking points: America is not the land of the free, America was founded to be a Christian nation, fuck the 1st amendment, abortion is killing babies, there is only one true American religion and people that buy this shit are totally stupid (that last part wuz me).

"Respectable?"

Don't take my word for it. Horse...mouth...

"I don't care what the liberals say, I don't care what the naysayers say, this nation was founded as a Christian nation...There is only one God and his name is Jesus. I'm tired of people telling me that I can't say those words.. Listen to me, If you don't love America, If you don't like the way we do things I have one thing to say - GET OUT. We don't worship Buddha, we don't worship Mohammad, we don't worship Allah, we worship God, we worship God's son Jesus Christ (Huff Po)."

There are two Americas. One is the land of the free that we all grew up studying and believing in. This is the America that people of the world also believe in (and so do I). Many may peeps, young and old the able and disabled, make great sacrifices to come here; and they come here for a chance. They do not want handouts, all they want is a chance, a chance to work hard and let the chips fall where they may. They left violence and oppression for the freedom that America represents. This is why the founders, err, founded.

The other America is elitist and uber evangelical Christian (if you are liberal Christian then you might as well be a Jew, or nonexistent heaven forbid, Moooooslem). That thing about accepting the tired and the masses, is...that was just a suggestion. It matters not that every single person here in the states, except Native Americans, is an import. If your parents or your parents parents migrated here and you live here now(and your are white male), then by all means "we" can shut the gates of opportunity.

Furget that the founders left the homeland for religious liberty/freedom. That is a thing of the past. Furget that that the position of the right wing American Christians looks exactly like the oppression that the founders were trying to escape. Those peeps are not here right now, we are.

Who are we? Dominionist, creationist, a specific right wing uber American Christianity, American Exceptionalist, elitists, white and male, climate deniers, anti vaxers, red blooded American killers, colonizers, capitalists, 1%'rs...did I leave anyone out.
