Being a citizen of the Bible sounds pretty unpleasant. All sorts of bad stuff is always happening in there.

“The Bible never mentions the word “vote” or "voting .” … But the fact that God did not say exactly how to “choose,” and never mentions the word “vote,” can make it a little hard to get direct guidance from the Bible."
Sickening and not all at surprising that the traitorous grifter is masquerading behind a guise of religion to spread his brand of gun fetish, propaganda and hate.

Exactly. So maybe we shouldn’t be having voting AT ALL.

Well, I did a quick concordance search, and sure enough the word “Elect” comes up a few times. While it mostly just means “chosen,” the Romans certainly knew about elections, and chose the word accordingly. The pope is elected by cardinals, most mainstream denominations similarly chose upper level clerics by the votes of similarly high-ranking clergy. It begs the question: whose vote, since God has refrained from making public statements for the last couple of millennia, will choose this new ruler of theirs?

The Bible doesn’t have a lot of relevant guidance on running free and fair democratic elections for the same reason it doesn’t have a lot of relevant guidance on tuning up a carburetor. Large-scale, fully inclusive democratic republics hadn’t been invented yet, and if they had been it’s not clear that Jesus or His followers would have supported that form of government anyway. J.C.'s nickname is “the King of Kings,” not “the President of Presidents” or “the Prime Minister of Heaven.”
Of course the Bible doesn’t say anything about guns either but that hasn’t stopped the wingnuts from making firearms a central pillar of their death cult.

It appears some dumb cowboy is shooting at the movie screen, thinking he’s actually shooting at. . . the sun?
And I fully expect somebody to photoshop a Kangol cap and some big gold dookie ropes on Flynn.

Jesus take the wheel and help me test the turn signals and brake lights.

Ah, I know what I find bothersome. At first I thought it was use of the bible as a prop but I figured out it’s the mixing of firearms and religion. I’ve seen outcomes stemming from that mix in other parts of the world and am emphatically like “no thanks”.

Does the US Army still have the power to strip Flynn of his title for bringing the service into disrepute?

“Border Law Enforcement,” “Biblical Citizenship,” and “Election Integrity from a Biblical Worldview,”
We can but pray that Flynn is taken back in to the arms of the Lord, post-haste.

Dude - you’re from Rhode Island. Your wide open spaces was the parking lot at the White Hen Pantry.
