I actually saw one woman rolling around on the sidewalk one day. I fail to see the difference between this and an epileptic fit, Voodun, or a bad prescription drug reaction, but I was breathlessly informed she was being “touched by the spirit of the lord!”

I would add when speaking with a religious person that they choose to believe some ‘answers’ not only because they cannot know if they are, in fact, ‘answers’ but very often in spite of knowing they are not, by substituting faith-based belief in place of evidence-adduced belief rationalized by importing a false equivalency to account for any differences that will surely arise.

If religious apologetics is the tall grass that hides the murky and swampy ground of its origins below, then casting Mel in that role is, I think, entirely appropriate keeping to the analogy.

Well I have not heard one talk, but I hear from religious people that they are all over and really do talk. Go figure, I then tell them all about my small pet dragon and they look at me like I am nutz. Oh well, they are sane with a talking walking snake, I am nutz with a cats sized dragon, and they don’t see a problem here. Hugs

Theyre not pets , but in a pen at church worship. It’s to prove god’s love to them by keeping the snakes from biting. I do believe there is a lot of inbreeding in these tiny rural areas in the South.

If ANYONE in the political realm was more deserving of the title “Christian,” it was (and is) Jimmy Carter. He has repeatedly exemplified what Yeshua taught. Yet, believers would rather point to tRumpsky (the liar, womanizer, narcissist, ,etc., etc.) as their shining example.
Just goes to show you how little these holier-than-thou preachers actually know about their faith.

And their total hypocrisy has been laid bare by their idiotic support of this monster of a human being. If I didn’t already despise them, their love and support of tRump would have been the straw to break that camel’s back, for sure. UGH!!!

Yet the Sainted Peanut Farmer was horrible on so many foreign policy grounds. In fact, it was Carter who largely began many of the awful policies that Reagan and Bush ramped up. He sold the Indonesian generals the ammunition they used to slaughter 1/3 of the East Timorese. Carter also allowed the creation of what became the Taliban. Not to defend the Soviets, but that was the last era Afghanistan began to have some hope of joining the modern world. Carter also continued and ramped up the support of right wing terror in Central America (Nicaragua and El Salvador) that reverberates to this day in the horrible social situation in many of those countries. Carter also helped enable through incompetence some of the worst aspects of the Irtanian Revolution.
remember: Carter was a Submarine Commander. One of the most arcane and arguably crazy subsets of the American military. And he had his Rasputin, Brzinski, who he listened to almost exclusively. His failures at retail politics paved the way for the horrors of Reagan, Bush, and Trump
As awful as Trump and Bush are and were, I might argue the two worst presidents of the past hundred+ years were Democrats: Wilson and Carter.

Which is why people are so prone to religion and superstition. “Reason” is slow and inefficient and not all that effective at building group cohesion. Emotion and faith in the unseen are more efficient, even if ultimately misleading and often damaging.
