      Too many Americans are blind to the fact that quality education is an investment in the future. The US does not graduate enough professionals to fill many technical jobs and have to hire immigrants from Asia.
      Also the lack of quality education have Americans believing in all sort of nonsense; flat earth, denying climate change, and that Donald Trump was a successful businessman.

      This is why I've slowly distance myself from Christianity. cuz I constantly end up asking questions like why is god proclaiming man to be head of the household? Why is God misogynistic? Why did God say that white people should enslaved black people? Why does God care if you're not straight? Why does God care of a Man lies with another man, but men having multiple wives is okay?
      the answer. God didn't write or say any of that. A bunch of humans with an agenda did. Particularly a bunch of European men.

      Yeah I think most presidents who believe in god must assume he chose them for the Presidency because, you know, that's the whole point of god. What's uniquely scary about Mike Pence is his extremism and cronyism. He's not the opposite of Trump, but the inverse. Where Trump's lack of belief in anything other than himself makes him dangerous, Pence's belief in a white supremacist god makes him even more dangerous. Where Trump's inability to accept criticism make him dangerous, Pence's willingness to be a whipping boy for people with power make him dangerous...

People _aren't_ refusing to wear masks because they think public safety infringes on their personal freedom.

Pence provided the most basic possible defense and people like my parents ate it up, because they always knew it was conversion therapy, they just needed any layer of deniability. And that’s why they still love Pence to this day, and the organizations he supports and gets support from.

      I agree. But, with it likely that Trump will have a second term, I worry Pence will become President by succession.
      Trump is such an unhealthy person, that I can see him either becoming incapacitated, if not dying, with plenty of time left for Pence to do some damage.
      And what scares me, is I’m not sure how far Pence might go. We’ve had extremely religious politicians in the Presidency before, but Pence has extreme fundamentalist beliefs, if all his eccentricities aren’t partly an act, which he cultivated earlier in his career.
      The scariest scenario imo, is the fundamentalist idea of bringing about the end times, through global war. With the pandemic, a true believer may justify that one, or more of the seven seals have been broken, and it’s his job to speed up the process.
      God forbid...😬

      Individual Christians or groups have claimed to hear God or sense (know) what God wants. It can be general (ex. repentance, love, justice) or specific (be a missionary). The idea is that if someone has a relationship with God (via worship, prayer, bible reading etc)., then they should know what God wants. Otherwise how do you know you're doing the right thing? How else can you be certain about things like no women priests or no abortion? So it's not a blasphemous concept in Christian circles. However, everyone agrees that someone can be wrong in their hearing or interpretation of what they heard.

Also the fact that they came from well-to-do families and are not a minority likely helped...
