    Actual statement from Pastor Mark Burns, who led the dedication ceremony:

    This is the “I’m not racist, but…” of MAGA Christianity.

    The Romans claimed a Jewish rabbi was God and co-opted his movement, and the Anglo-Saxon/Germanic nu-Romans turned their appropriately representative leader into an idol. History rhymes!

    In some cave just east of the Jordan, Moses’ ghost stirs, grabbing hold of the second set of tablets from the ark and dashing them across the ground in anger.

    If it weren’t for double standards, they wouldn’t have any. In all seriousness, I’m pretty sure they don’t care what’s in the bible. They just shout it as a defence, like a sovcit that’s completely down the spiral.

    But was the cow actually gold?

    Cause imo if you just escaped slavery, having access to a huge chunk of gold can help your people go very far.

    Whereas the new statue is just gold paint or maybe gilded

    Idk who this statue is based on, but i surely know that it’s not Trump. Doesn’t look like him at all.
