I’m a Lutheran pastor, we know the rapture is bunk and based entirely on works righteousness. The question remain though, would you really want to spend an eternity with Christo fascists, who think they are “good” and will be raptured?

I don’t watch Kimmel, but I know the President and FCC are abusing their power and look like complete crybabies because Kimmel made fun of Trump.

The Colorado school shooter was a right wing white kid too. Hmmm, it is almost as if a certain party is radicalizing white boys yo be violent and use guns. It wouldn’t be the party that wears an AR-15 pin, would it?
