Religious Americans who believe in talking snakes, zombies coming back from the dead and prophets flying to heaven on winged horses cant understand how their fellow Americans fall for tRumps fictions.

(24,630 posts)As far as who follows Christ, Jesus said that no man comes to the father lest he confess Jesus as his personal savior. In short, fuck ecumenicalism. Youre not a Christian, youre burning in hell for eternity. Thus spake Jesus, meek and mild.

What is not is science (which is solely based on observation but sometimes a fiction when testing hypothesi). Trump knows this and thinks if he just repeats something enough times it will become accepted. Or if he rams democracy with a wrecking ball and wins in an undemocratic way that that will be accepted. Democrats need to decide if they want liberal democracy (which they do) and then fight like hell to sell it to all americans again and label Republicans as against it because they are.

(9,666 posts)Or, what % of Americans who are a "none" (no religion) voted for T****?
But yeah, my fiction is much preferable/better/stronger than your fiction. How can you possible believe in that fiction, when we have this much more "comforting" fiction/vision over here?
The Trumpers are especially the weaker ones. A bunch of them think T**** is some kind of god.

Atheists are super liberal, very Democratic, very progressive. They are about 6% of the population. They voted for Biden 80/20, which is no surprise. Agnostics are a sort of slightly less liberal version of your atheist75% of them voted for Biden in 2020.
