The Bible Belt Is A Bludgeon Used By Assiduously Ignorant People Who Reside At The Epicenter Of Civilizational Collapse

Shared with Public

I think the blind faithfulness of "Christian" "conservatives" all across the Bible Belt makes them stupid (or at least stupefacted), while simultaneously impelling them to VALUE stupefaction - even to PRIORITIZE stupefaction.

Not: there was a time during J.D. Vance’s “Never Trump” days when JD called Trump “cultural heroin” and “America’s Hitler.”

Blind faithfulness convinces "Christian" "conservatives" (who are neither) that the only important thing is “getting through this 'valley of tears' in order to 'get into heaven' -- and correlatively to escape the clutches of Satan who will lock them in eternal torment forever. (The aspirations of "Christian" "conservatives" are so utterly self-interested that The Common Good and The General Welfare be damned).

Here is an inconvenient truth that emerges from the reflecting pool murk:

People whose hearts align with cruelty (which includes ALL those who voted for His Malignancy), are not getting into heaven, because cruelty is incompatible with “Paradise.”

To "get into heaven" - or even into a state of mundane terrestrial happiness - we humans must learn how to live like people who welcome "the ways of heaven" while living here on earth, and not suppose that the meretricious slogan, “I accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior,” is some kind of magic charm, a “get-into-Heaven-free” encantation.

Mumbo-jumbo. Hocus pocus.

Repeat after me. And kick back, doing nothing... till "The Rapture" sweeps you into heaven.

By trying to "play it safe" - simultaneously striving to exempt themselves from doing a single goddamn thing to make our shared world a better place — "Christian" "conservatives" (who are understandably fond of comforting, authoritarian promises), never engage The Incarnation (The Word Made Flesh) as a place where God sent his human son “because he loved the world so much."

Not for a moment do "Christian" "conservatives" think about "following God's lead."

For them, salvation is entirely passive, not unlike fellatio as a substitute for love-making. (Hey! I hear Charlie Kirk calling out: "Prove me wrong.")

"Christian" "conservatives" only think about mouthing the right formulae to "get in."

And once they've convinced themselves of their own personal "salvation assurance," these "good Christians" are inordinately eager to explain why ALL the people (who are not like them) will not get in.

The result has been a deliberately-ignorant, slavery-loving, White Supremacist society that “looks down on dark-skinned people” (blacks, Mexicans, native Americans, Somalians, Haitians et al) - a society contemptuous of knowledge and learning - a society characterized by shockingly consistent indices of civilization collapse as detailed in the above meme.

The Bible Belt is a place were people delight in the murder of others, just because they are convinced “he (or she) needed killing.”

I will close by quoting the great autodidact stevedore-philosopher, Eric Hoffer: “Absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.”
