Are you 1) a christian person upset that I used Jesus as a swear and expressing this through sarcasm or 2) an anti-theist jumping on any opportunity to shit-talk christianity? I suspect #2 but I’m honestly not entirely sure. You know what I meant though, regardless.

Every day the GOP finds a new low to sink to and becomes more and more a terrifying caricature of itself.

I don’t think a person has to be an anti-theist in order to read the parts of the bible that are inconvenient. But I was just making a joke, no need to get upset.
