Ok, yep, this is the kind of insane, nutjob "Christianity" I grew up in and around.
These actual lunatic people just make up their minds that... something they don't like, for reasons that they know are nonsense, it just gives them an 'ick' for some reason... yep, its just haram now, its demons, because God told me personally when I prayed about it one day.
This is American Christianity, a gigantic ego trip for mentally ill people, and you're an anti-religious bigot if you criticize their anti-logic, their fever dreams.
Oh how I wish that all 100 million Americans who believe Trump is part of God's plan just actually had been raptured, I am so beyond tired of dealing with these people's aggressive and hateful delusions.
EDIT:
it is very funny to me that a year ago, on lemmy, i had liberal boomers tut-tuting at me when I would say things like "no, you don't get it, roughly one third of America fundamentally thinks democracy is stupid and would prefer a theocracy with American state propoganda characteristics", and then back that up with statistics.
Pshaw! What a ludicrous notion! The idea that you could suggest-
shhhhh its time to retire now, liberal boomer, retire from having agressively delusional opinions, shhhhh no you don't get to actually retire, no, your house isn't worth what you think it is, no, your investments aren't going to be enough, shhhh its ok, your mindless self indulgence didn't work out so well, just like we all told you it wouldn't, shhhhh, its time for bed.
