He cited, as supposed evidence, the decline of national church attendance and the rise of LGBTQ youth — the fact, Johnson lamented, that “one-in-four high school students identifies as something other than straight.”

    Nah, even that doesn’t surprise me.

    I was talking to a local preacher here the other day and I listened to him complain for a bit and I said, “Well, yeah. All we can do is obey the laws of the land bud.” as a kind of little jab.

    His reply, “I obey just laws. I ain’t gonna go out and get gay married because it’s legal. I also ain’t handing over every dime they want from me so they can give all the local junkies free dope at the clinic. The lord don’t want me doing that. The lord wants me to obey and support just and holy laws.”

    They take what they want from it and leave the rest haha.

      Yet he probably completely ignores Trump’s repeated infidelity, abuse of contractors working for him, lying about everything under the sun, etc, and will still cast his vote for the “law and order president.” It’s all just willful ignorance bullshit, every bit of it.
