Who Would Have Thought?

I could never be a Baptist as I'm a bit aquaphobic.
I need water but not too much of it.
Not only just plain stupid but the guy who started the baptism craze (John the Baptist or whatever was his real name) fed on locusts.
I couldn't do that either as I don't like swarming insects.
Orthopterophobia is fear of locusts.
Even worse, maybe dousing yourself in water attracts them.
Of course, some believe he didn't.

According to Reverend Robert Taylor, the priest imprisoned for blasphemy, Taylor argues that John the Baptist is a mythological figure, representing the astrological sign of Leo and the sun's passage, rather than a historical person.
I'll believe that instead.

i dont see much difference between locusts and shrimp, except that shrimp have the softer tail while locust have crunchy legs.

theres always a middle ground:

Who would have thought that the second coming (term) had arrived and we didn't realise.

No wonder the pope's upset as he should be the first to know.

Trumps behavior becomes more absurd and dangerous every day.  I cannot understand the Republicans  hesitancy to shit can him immediately.

Trump has actually fulfilled his dream to become the most famous man on earth. In his case he has made himself the most Infamous man on earth but he does not seem to recognize that reality.

At some risk, I will state; had the kids shot landed three inches (76mm) to the right, our world would now be a much better place. The madman will not have upset the order of things had he never gained the office of the presidency.

That's nothing to worry about. There are people out there raving about how they're to kill him and his family. I'd expect that "what if" is pretty tame.

That's what the Romans said about Jesus.

When Trump passes there might be an epiphany.
Disciple A: "He was truly the son of god".
Disciple B: "He has brought peace to the world. and His name will live forever more."

More like Constantine sowing death, destruction and Xianity at sword's point.
