      “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

      It’s basically a cognitive dissonance conference.

        You have also managed to successfully describe attending religious services.

      They’ll believe whatever suits them to prop up their delusional world view. And they’ll refuse to acknowledge any facts that contradict it.

      Can you actually find anyone who believes it literally? Honest question. I just watched the video, and it seems to me that he is saying it figuratively and not literally.

          Truthfully, I believe there are “fine [yet moronic] people on both sides” of this thing. Religions seem to serve both hypocrites and idiots alike.

          His quote will sell lots of T-shirts, either way.

          I agree, including Trump.

          But this thread is full of people saying that they think he meant it literally and people believe it literally. And I think, although I could be wrong, that is what the top level commenter is getting at.

    I honestly think if he took his shirt off it would cost him the election.

    Seeing the flabby, 78-year-old American physique in all its glory would be both a literal and figurative “emperor has no clothes” moment for many of his cultists.

      He’d just need to have some acrylic flab sculpting armor like Immortan Joe.

      And 160 years later his legacy has been coopted by the same sort of people who killed him to begin with.

    If at all possible for a myriad of reasons, can we please leave your shirt on?

    I’m pretty sure that if he took his shirt off, we’d just see how much he looks like Baron Harkonnen.

        The guy you’re responding to deleted their comment, leaving yours without context…and now I’m confused just trying to piece it together.

          Aw damnit… I hate when that happens…

          He had a funny one basically saying that if he did show us his shirtless chest, we’d get to see how closely he resembled Baron Harkonnen.

          Curiously enough, I didn’t delete it. I was just scanning back through my posts when I saw “deleted by creator” on one of them, and since I know I haven’t deleted anything, I came to see what that was all about.

          There’s an option to undelete, so I did that, though unfortunately that means that yours is now the post without context. Sorry. 😅
