The Ducking Stool of Life

To show ho much we’ve evolved I want to point out that the new American ethos is to view life as a ducking stool where we assume immanent justice — that people get what they deserve. And, better yet, you can bait God into revealing His preferences and judgments to you if they aren’t already clear or even make them for Him if you are “saved” since you are effectively a representative of God anyway. So, evangelicals are obsessed with everyone’s morality but their own.

They had some travesty of a religious experience in a revival tent or under the tutelage of Jimmy Swaggart or some other charlatan. Thus they are guaranteed salvation and get to vote for Trump and support every kind of inhumanity and it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. They’re hanging out waiting for Jesus to pluck them out of the hellhole and cesspit of life. Meanwhile, they do everything they can to keep creation is as shitty as possible. It reassures them they are right.
