So I just finished watching the entire thing. It really had the trifecta of white supremacy bullshit, outright stupidity, and of course their version of Christianity as the religion of America.

I know, it was like The Three Stooges at the Insurrection. Being that stupid AND that sure of your cause is a scary combination.

ETA: oh, speaking of getting concepts backwards, it just reminded me of when trump (before he actually got Covid) was bragging about his “positive” Covid test, and then corrected himself by saying, “it was so negative, it was positive” or some similar BS.

On the other hand–  
If the Three Stooges had been in charge, the violence would have been contained within the rioters’ own group, not directed at anybody else.

Everyone laughing at this asshole’s religion, understand that for many of us christianity and all the other “real” religions look just as silly. No offense intended.

I wasn’t mocking anybody’s religion. The only religious groups I really have problems with are Scientology and Jews For Jesus. I’m reasonably sure the subject of this thread belongs to neither group.

The problem is less that his religion is silly and more that it seems to be borderline incoherent. Honestly I’d be a bit reluctant to categorize “I’ll believe whatever stupid shit seems appealing today” as a religion, but apparently _he_ does, so there you go.
