WTF? So made-up stories in Mikey's little book club are the same as a deed to the land?
Well, Mikey boy. Native American scripture says the entirety of North America is the spiritual homeland for their people and belongs to them. What do you plan to do about that?

  Mormons believe that the Native Americans are tribes of Isreal. Swap Mike Johnson for Mike Lee, problem solved. I hate that he's my Senator.
no it does fucking not. Evangelicals know NOTHING about their faith. bunch of heretics.
What a piece of deplorable shit. Goes to a country actively commiting ethic cleansing, a fucking genocide, and willfully starving children to death, and then declares that the land they're stealing is God's will?
Fucking evangelicals man. I hope jebus does show up so peace loving people around the world can witness the rapture and watch these evil "christian" fuckers burn. Obviously that won't happen because magic isn't real and imaginary sky wizard doesn't exist and is just a story used to control people's lives, but it's a nice thought.
Use of fairytales to justify policy.
"Scripture teaches us that the mountains of Judea and Samaria were promised to the Jewish people." Yeah but it also frowns on murdering babies, sort of cherry picking there.
- 'Now go and strike Amalek and completely destroy everything that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ - Samuel 15:3
That suit made out of one kind of fabric Mike?
Religions can be bent and twisted to make the "god" of that religion say anything you want. That is the true power of religion ... and it sucks.
Why doesn't he read the bible for himself, and recognize that it has nothing to do with this?
the only kind of work Republicans do is god’s work
