I know they don't like to read long bills, but maybe one of their interns can read Matthew 6:1-8 to them.

I knew someone would comment this. Evangelicals are the modern-day Pharisees.
So kneeling is fine when they are pretending to believe in a god?
Depends on the god. Imagine if that was Muslims praying towards mecca.
No, depends on the people? You think that gaggle of republirats actually believe in something?
They certainly believe in hating Muslims.
Thats not a religious belief of Christianity!
You would think that an all knowing guy could have spared a sentence in his supposed book that that offshoot of Christianity, which mind you is one of the largest religions today, is fake… Tho quite a few things were left out, like rape is bad and small things like that, plus the scientific inaccuracies…
that's not what they said. they don't have to be genuine, but it still depends on which religion they pretend to follow. if anyone pretended to pray the way muslims did they'd be immediately shot towards the moon. whether they're genuine or not doesn't factor into anything.
…
That makes no sense, we know these people, we know what they claim to be the religion and we know that religion has no strict stance on the praying stances
What the fucked up part is, that they used to heavily criticize people kneeling down to the us national anthem
It makes sense from their perspective in pointing out the hypocrisy in US political culture regarding people who proclaim to be Christians openly practicing religious custom in government chambers as opposed to individuals who proclaim to be Muslim doing the same. The amount of suppossed outrage broadcasted would be massive if they were believed to be of Islamic faith.
But it's not fine if some black guys do it
Matthew 6:5 [5]“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."
Truly the very definition of the word hypocrite.
you forgot .. And protect the pedos. God bless America
"Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me."
-Literally Jesus in Matthew and Mark
I cannot quite put my fielder on it, but something about the specific way they are kneeling seems disrespectful towards the god they pray to.
They're not praying, they're looking for Ted Cruz's lost contact lense.
Only so they can rinse it in Tabasco before giving it back.
The one thing all of Washington agrees on is that Ted Cruz can get fucked. He tried putting an amendment into the budget bill to withhold funding for states that make rules about AI usage, and it was voted down 99:1.
I'mma be honest I just needed a republican name for the joke.
...and thank you god for guiding mossad to replace the overt optics of Epstein with a more discrete version of the elite pedophilic prostitution network of semenitism that leveraged genocide in Palestine, bombing Iran, stealing citizenship, scapegoating immigrants, regressive social political and scientific progress, and funding authoritarianism
Let's be real they're only praying for forgiveness.
Oh of course. They know they are complete evil and corrupt in every way shitbags, and "redemption" is the tool that allows them to continue acting like sociopaths (real sociopaths wouldn't care about forgiveness.) It is the only reason they are religious.
I think they are just looking for their lost dignity. Somebody should tell them they are going to need something with serious magnification to find even a trace of it.
Can we just have congress be made into a pillar of salt already?

I found this old but genius YouTube channel and after watching some videos I can say, you can definitely justify that with the Bible https://youtu.be/zeRDR1Ytzn0
Lol, I love NonStampCollector. Great to see other people still watching it.
Just once I want to see Republicans help the poor out of sheer hatred. Like "I hate the poor so go damn much! I hate how they're always complaining about 'Wahhh my grandma is dying of canceerrrr' or 'Wahhhh I have to walk 20 miles to get to school because I can't afford a carrr!' . Infact I hate them so much that I'm going to educate them, I'm going to pay them more, I'm going to give them cheap public transport, and I'm going to ensure they're never poor again! That'll show the bastards!"
Just absolute venom towards those less fortunate, with a side-order of high quality public services and high living standards, as opposed to pretending to care about the poor and then never actually doing anything useful.
