I mostly remember because you made a sneering comment in response to me calling him a Bible-thumper.
Now I have a more positive view of Bible-thumpers, though not this one. At the very least, they are a balancing force against all the groomers running around.
I'd still make a sneering comment because cries about "Bible thumpers" is counter productive at best even using the phrase is a net negative. You can either have so called Bible thumpers or not have a functioning society
Traditionalists. There are functional societies that are not Christian.
Name them
Taiwan. Japan.
In fact, a good deal better than the nominally Christian countries which are grooming shitholes.
I don't think you understand what's meant. When I hear "bible-thumper," I don't think "religious person." I think prosperity gospel, mega-church, pray-in-public guy.
From the moment I became aware of Moore, and his (well-established) rep, I thought of a morally small man in a big white suit. You don't go around town convincing parents that having your 30-year-old ass "courting" their teenage daughter is okay, without you being a certain kind of huge pile of shit. There's an underlying intimidation and nasty level of untouchability implied there, in order to have that kind of sway.
I don't care if that guy is a "Republican" or not. That guy is an unacceptable feudal Raubritter and he needs to go.
Well you're the one using Bible thumper wrong because everyone else literally means Christian that doesn't hide their faith.
The rest of your shit is irrelevant to what Antonio and I are talking about
Yeah, I'm not. I live in the bible belt, and am involved in several loosely Baptist churches. Whatever you think these words mean is irrelevant to what they mean in the places where the term is most relevant and used. Maybe atheistic coastals and metropolitanites use it this way, but that's a fraction of Americans, even.
Has anyone ever informed you that you're an asshole? If not, they should.
