"Why do we need to rededicate ourselves?" Graham said. "When God sent the flood and destroyed the earth, it was because man's heart had become so evil and violent. In the news, we see unimaginable violence: rapes, murders, [and] unimaginable violence. Video games are full of violence. We have an insatiable appetite for violence."
Ummmm... And the African Americans, the Native Americans, the Asians, the natives of Mexico, central and South America, the Irish, the Italians, the Jews, the Germans, all say: “The hell you say!” As well as all Xians who aren’t blinkered Trumpist evangelicals. "And set about enslaving the natives as soon as he got here. White man’s burden. Praise Jesus! And pass the whip…. I’ve started reading into liberation theology, and I have thoughts on how important it is to this day; thoughts I’ll get around to (if you know, you know what that means). I’ll just leave you with this, because this is the best thing from this idiotic display:
Right-wing radio host Eric Metaxas told thousands gathered on the National Mall on Sunday that the Almighty spent two centuries waiting to deliver one Donald Trump so the president could finally build his $400 million ballroom.

"Yes, it's hard to believe that it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand," Metaxas said at the taxpayer-backed "Rededicate 250" prayer event. "It's extraordinary. We only had to wait 200 years."
The Senate Parliamentarian stripped the $1 billion plan from the reconciliation package. The odds of it passing Congress now are zip and none. God wants us to wait another 200 years. Or Satan does. I don’t think Metaxas can tell the difference.

    This time G-d sent us climate change, with Trump and data centers to accelerate the process...

  2. G-d sent us Trump because G-d ran out of locusts.

  3. What, I wonder, would be a comparable event from the other direction and would C-Span cover it with the same basic credulity...

    1. No way. Democrats in disarray, donchaknow? Besides, the only two real Christianities in America are evangelicals and Catholics. Those are the only two “real” Xianities. No other Xians or religious/non-religious really fit the accepted narrative.
