The Rapture and the Real World: Mike Pompeo Blends Beliefs and Policy

like I said could you do your job if it conflict with your beliefs?
some people can’t like Kim Davis.

Belief in rapture is based on religiously collected evidence about a dying planet, man’s impact on that phenomenon, and the long term consequences of such a trend.

Belief in the climate change is based around a fantasy with absolutely zero evidence to back it up.

To reality.

Again, you are free to leave.

There are a lot of interesting mythologies in religion.

The Rapture is a uniquely bizarre American fixation with being chosen and wrapping it up in religion. So typically American. It’s a pile of crap adopted by religious nuts.

The idea of the Rapture is based on a really old book full of fantastical events

And it’s beauty is it can neither be proven nor disprove.

I have a hard time believing a single dude built a huge boat and put two of every species in that boat…there should be a mythbusters episode on that or something

Your strongly faith in your strongly held belief as proselytized by priests in white lab coats is less dogmatic than religion how?

You write “secular” as though it is a virtue. Better. Can you explain why please?

“We” are not a secular nation. Even now, after years of “education” and propaganda, 75% of the adults in this country self-identify as Christians. Another 1% as Muslims. Jews 2%. Mormons 2%.

80% and counting are not secular.

Anyone that believes everything in the bible is factual is a fool.

So what your saying is that its ok to say Merry Christmas?

Are you seriously suggesting there’s more evidence for the Rapture than climate change? The Rapture involves people disappearing into thin air. Can you prove that could happen?

How do you know better?

How do you know deeper than they know?

Those penguins, who walked all the way from Antarctica to the Middle East were some tough SOBs.

I know. What’s your point?

Its simple I do not base my beliefs on a book from which everyone derives their own conclusion and interpretation.

I have no issue with people having strong personal belief, I have an issue when those people let those belief effect their civic duty.

Emphasis mine. And you have a strongly held belief that somehow that makes them “truer”?

Is MAD a fact?

Have a nice night.

And now you’ve made it about me?
