I have coined a new word, and when it goes mainstream, I want the credit for it:

HAT(E)RIOT - Pseudo-Christian MAGA-types, white supremacists, (and their ilk,) claiming the righteousness of their cause(s) as "defending the country, or the "way America OUGHT to be."

Maybe HATEriot? There's no good way to SPELL it, but SAYING it is easy "Hate-re-ot."

I have had a button pinned above my desk for 20+ years, which says, "Doing my part to piss off the religious right." When I pinned it there, I had NO IDEA how crazy the religious right could become. I mean, who knew we could plumb these depths of hypocrisy and insanity?

Dead, unressurected Rabbi Jesus (if he ever actually existed) whirls in his grave.

Sweet screaming Jesus -- "wishing star"????

Totally gratuitous, I know, but I did a full text search on both my English Standard and King James versions and, yeah, nothing even close.

That is too jaw-dropping for words.

Yeah, let’s just invent theological concepts out of whole cloth. 🤷🏻‍♂️😆
