[On »Rep. Jerry Nadler defends Equality Act, says “God’s will is of no concern”«]
Well Jerry Nadler, you are only in the position you are because God has allowed it. "For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God." Romans 13:1. And Jerry, one day you, along with every one else will do this as God said, "every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” Romans 14:11. And Jerry you know what God's will is? Well, He is "patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." 2 Peter 3:9. But be warned "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." Revelation 21:8.

Well Ken, the only reason you’re still above ground & breathing under your own power is that we atheists have better things to do than to murder you & burn your tacky little tourist trap to the ground. At full capacity.
Only in Kentucky would that dump stand a chance of even existing. Kentuckians must be so proud of themselves, although since these are the same dimwits who keep electing Rand Paul’s head ferret & Lich Mcconnell, they probably are.
It can’t be hard to program a bot indistinguishable from a real fundie: They all just recycle the same old arguments that have been refuted countless times, and a lot of time, a good portion is just stock Bible quotes.
And Jerry, one day you, along with every one else will do this as God said, "every bee shall know to me, and every tongue hall confess to Gods. And if you slay that I ‘talk backwards’, your potion will be in the rake that seconds with sure and filfur, which is the burn death.”

I live in Kentucky. The Creation Museum is in a little dump of a town miles off the main route. The Ark Park is near the interstate, but Ken Spam & Co. wooed the locals with promises collateral development that never happened. At the time we had a proto-Trump governor who gave them illegal tax credits.
No one really likes Mitch McConnell, but he keeps getting reelected for two reasons:
1. He never stops fundraising, so he can buy all the support he needs; and
2. The Democrats haven't put up a good rival, due to the misguided belief that a candidate must imitate Mitch to beat Mitch.
Paul is a symptom of the overall resentful-white-man disease, which has also erupted in many other states and nationwide with the election of Trump: "If I can't be on top, I'll burn everything down out of spite."

I’m sorry you have to live in Kentucky.
If the locals were gullible to fall for anything coming from Ken Ham’s trap, what does tell us about them? I’ve read more than once that’s it’s been teetering on bankruptcy, but still seems to be clinging to life, somehow. Suspiciously. And who voted for that bag of shit governor who gave them said illegal tax credits? Clearly enough voters were ok with it.
Lich Mcconnell’s approval ratings have been in the teens & 20 percent for years. If he’s that loathed across the whole state, then voting for his rival, no matter who it is, can only be an improvement. Surely at least a few voters in the entire state have reached the same conclusion. One could also say the same for Rand Paul’s head ferret. Since not enough people in the state seem to realize that & keep voting for them, the rest of us are forced to conclude that the majority of voters are idiots. I know the disease is nationwide, but it appears to be more severe in certain areas.
I won’t claim that my state is the greatest place ever, especially since we voted for Chris Creosote-Twice!, but as a resident of a blue state that has to prop up the red states, I’m really fucking tired of putting up with & listening to the bullshit. I know that not everyone in a red state is the stereotype, but these past 5 years have left me with absolutely zero patience.
Also, Kentucky is at least partly responsible for the perpetuation of country music, which should be considered a war crime.

The locals wanted development. Lots of places have fallen for dreams of riches without any religious motive.
The Ark Park's bankruptcy is wishful thinking, at least for now. Their steady income derives from homeschool and church groups - many from outside Kentucky.
Kentucky's gubernatorial elections are set one year in advance of the presidential election cycle, so Gov. Matt Bevin was a harbinger for Trump on both ends: he won with the same populist bark, and he got turned out after one term because people got tired of their governor being the biggest asshole in every room.
As in much of the rest of the country, the real divide isn't so much north/south as it is urban/rural. Kentucky is still a fairly rural state. Mitch and Rand don't win by landslides, and they do best when turnout is low. The same people who patronize the Ark Park are always marched to the polls by their pastors.
@Lucilius #81865
Then those locals are stupid, & I’d say the same thing no matter where they were.
I won’t disagree with you, because I know you’re correct. But from up here, all I can see is a state that’s overflowing with ignorant bible majini who are impervious to reason & should be cut loose & left to fail on their own terms. I don’t like condemning the reasonable citizens, but this divide is unsustainable.

Well, from here all I can see of your state is a standing joke about being NYC's landfill inhabited solely by the cast of MTV's "Jersey Shore." So that should tell you how accurate distant views are.
Ever actually been here? Louisville is a very cool town. Lexington's not bad. Some other places are decent. And I'll bet that 10 miles outside the urbanized area of New Jersey (which I have indeed visited, more than once), in the bucolic hinterlands you can find fanatics and ignoramuses just as terrifying as any in Kentucky. But there they get outvoted.
Usually.
Georgia too has vast wastelands of Trumpism, which were in the majority until this last election. And Ohio, once reliably blue, became first a swing state and now is dominated by what an urban-Ohio acquaintance calls the "lawless tribal regions." Demographics shift, so don't be too eager to cut anyplace loose.

Dirty Jersey is a standing joke; has been for decades. We’re used to it. The overwhelming majority of what’s responsible for our reputation though, is NYC, the bennies if you will, not the natives. Something no one bothers to discern, which I can understand to a point. So yes, that does tell me how accurate distant views are.
Never been down in Skunk Holler, Kentucky but I do, unfortunately, have some distant redneck relatives who indeed live up to every single stereotype ever written about southern inbred hillbillies in the scenic but useless state of West Virginia. I suspect not much is different.
There’s nothing in KY that interests me in the slightest. I can get overcooked BBQ anywhere.
What part of Dirty Jersey have you been to? I bet it was up north, or perhaps down in the Barrens, with the creepy Pineys.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
