Mildly Infuriating

Praying is just talking to your imaginary friend, and having it tell back to you what you want to hear.

These elected representatives are no more mentally developed than elementary school children. Must be from a state full of lead pipes.

Wish they'd pray for forgiveness because then that would mean admitting mistakes.

Quick reminder: libs spent decades telling us to respect others' religious beliefs or else said stupid shit like "not ALL christians!!"

This is what you get for removing the guardrails.

Y’all voted for them. This is what they’re doing.

These people think all compassion and "wokeness" is preformative because everything in their lives is preformative.

I think there's a biscuit that they're all looking at

I think the guy all the way on the right was just caught squeezing the ass of one of his Republican colleagues as they passed a law that will kick millions off of Medicaid and close down hospitals so that they can fund brown shirts to the tune of what other countries pay for whole militaries.

Why are they praying in a huddle? Do they all shout in unison “GO TEAM” afterwards ?

Don’t you also have separation of church and state? Wasn’t that what you were founded on?

Oh please white Jesus and white God. Bless us while we take food from the mouths of millions. Take Healthcare from millions of infirm. And life itself from those evil brown people both here and around the world.

Amen. /s

Circle jerkin 4 Jesus.

You think they'll pray when the masses eventually drag them out of the chambers?

With a different angle we could have had a fasces over their heads.

Praying for more dead seniors and babies.

I'm just going to assume these are republicans and furthermore call them scumbags, hypocrites, and heretics.

Matthew 6

1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

I don't know how anyone takes them seriously. They should be laughed out of the room and shunned by polite society. But there are a lot of bullshit "christian" churches peddling nonsense, I guess.

"Dear God, please help us kill the poors and the gays and the brown and blacks. Amen."

You will never convince me that shit like this is more than just performative play-acting for the sake of their base.

They aren't actually fucking praying. They don't actually believe any of this shit. It's a tool used to keep the support of their base of white christian nationalists.

That's why we see them doing shit like this now than every before.

In a world where more liberal minded Christians are balking at how "unchristian" these idiots are turning out to be, they have to make these shows louder and more obvious...and make damn sure there's a camera around, so that they can play even harder to the more extreme supporters.

If they were to quietly go about their business with no "performative acts of faith", more people would recognize them as the monsters they are.

But with shit like this, 81 year old grandparents the country over can look at them and say "I don't understand what they're doing, but they MUST be the good guys because look how christian they are..."

If anyone thinks America is getting out of this without resorting to firing squads and hanging these fuckers upside down in town squares, they're naive as fuck.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matthew 6:5-6

They got to be KKK wherever they come from?
