There's a line in a Woody Allen movie (can't remember which), spoken by Max Von Sydow, that I've always cherished:
As I recall, Von Sydow's character says, "If Christ ever came back, he probably couldn't stop vomiting."
That about sums up my feelings for all the "good Christians" who voted for Trump.
Those poor fundamentalist knuckleheads who feel like they're being persecuted. Boo hoo.
It's one thing to believe in fairy tales. It's another thing to insist that everyone else believe with you. And it's still another to use your "faith" to spread hatred, bigotry, bile, and overwhelming stupidity.
Even though most of what you "know" about him was cobbled together many years, in some cases centuries, after the fact, and has no connection whatsoever to whatever life he might have led, poor old Jesus still deserves better than this.
So, do your boy Jesus a favor and change your name from Christians to something else, OK?

Poor People Don't Deserve Anything
It is by now patently obvious that that is the motto of the modern Republican Party.
(They're all good Christians, by the way. Just ask 'em!)
And not just a motto, an operating principle.
(They're all good Christians, by the way. Just ask 'em!)
No subsidies for takers! Health care, after all, is only for people who can afford it.
Good schools, too. Honestly, if you don't care enough about your children to make a lot of money to support them, well, why should the state care about them? Tell you what, we'll give you vouchers for private school. What more could you ask for? Oh, by the way, the vouchers will only cover a fraction of the cost of a private school, while diverting money from public schools, but beggars can't be choosers.
And if you want clean air and clean water, well, move somewhere with clean air and clean water.
Or be prepared to pay for it, you fucking cheapskate.
Tired of the cops hassling you and yours? Make some money, move to a better neighborhood, and maybe the cops will overlook your skin color...Just kidding! That'll never happen.
So stop your pathetic whining, get with the program, and enjoy living in the best country there ever was or ever could be.
