    What did 'the liberals' have to do with Mr. Potato Head?

    What did Aunt Jemima have to do with going back toward old ways?

    Hollywood + fundamentalism.

    Totally laughable and troubling sad that anyone believes it is representative of anything but strange imagination.

    Gimme a freaking break.

    It's interesting you mention hollywood and fundamentalism. It's so nakedly obvious how jealous conservatives are of Hollywood itself, hence they try to carve out these little niches in "conservative" hollywood circles. The Left Behind series (universally panned) and The Passion were two examples of them trying to make inroads. Then when most of these christian movies and shows were excoriated by reviewers, evangelicals started demonizing hollywood.

    Remember that Dana Loesh spokeslady for the NRA? Failed hollywood actress, and now she tries to shit on hollywood. Classic sour grapes.

    Ted Cruz had theater aspirations; if only some right-wing hollywood director had given him a career, maybe we wouldn't have to deal with one more insurrectionist in the senate.

    We had as much to do with it as Dr. Seuss. The Theodore Geisel estate said LAST YEAR "let's get rid of these 6 problematic books that show racist imagery" and suddenly, according to republicans, AOC and the Squad took away every bible story.

    So stupid.

    Evangelists would love to co-opt Hollywood toward their own scripture. The problem is Hollywood does what the public wants. The public wants less and less to do with Christianity. Likely BECAUSE OF Evangelists.

It made me incredulous to all religious thought whatsoever, which is a shame. There's a great deal of "deist" or even atheist-leaning religious thought (spirituality/meditation, whatever) that can be gleaned from many religious texts. The politicization of christianity in america has robbed that faith of any good worth it has.
    Thanks for articulating that.

    I walk a wavering line between agnosticism and Eastern Christianity. But wherever I am at in my life, I have always felt the serious study of spritual and religious thought is a worthwhile endeavor. There is a lot of beauty and wisdom in the Baghavad Gita, New Testament, Annalects, Daodijing, et al.

    For the record, I also think the atheist post-modernist thinkers, Neitzche, Marx, Freud, etc. are important for the educated person to consider.

    They got some great shots of him w/ someone elses bible..

    The first few he was trying to figure out which side was the front, my guess he was cussing under his breath..

    Unable to determine it he aimed it @ the crowd but after some dogged & determined looking (or someone gave him a hint) he finally figured it out...

    Still not sure what magic powers he was thinking he was invoking but that was the last straw for many believers that just couldn't turn their face away as he turned their stomachs.......

    Wonder why whoever's bible it was did not sue him for that stunt??

    He would have sued them..
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Nothing could have been a bigger blow to Christianity than that stunt.
