    I remember showing up at the Church to sit with the statue of Ronald The Giver of Happy Meals and eat the prayerful meal and play with the Holy Happy Toy.
    I also don’t remember statement like this being made about Ronald McDonald

    “ The Rev. Franklin Graham has made similar allusions, saying, “I think God was behind the last election,” as has former U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann. Wayne Allyn Root, a conservative author, radio host and conspiracy theorist, has called Trump the “King of Israel” and “the second coming of God.”

    This statue is proportionally realistic.

    1) Even The Hill is on the cultishness: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaig...idicule-online
    A golden statue of former President Trump was unveiled late Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Fla., quickly prompting ridicule from social media users, many of whom compared it to the Old Testament account of the Golden Calf....

    ...Despite the praise from attendees, social media users argued that the statue showed some conservatives’ unhealthy obsession with Trump, with one Twitter user jokingly writing, “I asked CPAC if they were afraid of offending God with a golden Trump statue and they said ‘Trump is God.’”


    2) I wonder if any CPAC members will be doing this to the Trump statue?

    Default Literally worshiping the golden cow!

    This statute was wheeled into CPAC today.

    Remember what happened in the Bible when people worshiped a Golden Cow?

    It would seem that the irony of these self-professed Christians wheeling out a literal golden statue to Trump is lost on Trump supporters. I honestly believe that the person responsible for this is secretly anti-Trump and has a sense of humor.

    if you think trump supporters acted more cultish than obama supporters you must have forgotten you all called obama the messiah.

    he does have the overall body shape of a cow, so you can why dumbass conservatives started worshiping him. he also looks like the fatted calf, and a pear shaped creampuff nancy boy, if you want to describe him further.

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    I don't have anyone on ignore. I'm a big boy, I can give it back to these guys constantly attacking me.



    I've never been a fan of ignore features. I think even less of people who claim to put another member on ignore, never shut up about them and seem to know and comment on every post they make. I just find that posters constant sexist homophobic insults and ideations rather creepy in it's excess.
