Lying

 THERE IS A FEDERAL LAW which says that evangelical Christian broadcasters must be idiots. Idiotic, brazenly dishonest, bigoted, pompous, with a proclivity for ranting incoherently. Or maybe it is a natural law, ordained by God. And these characteristics manifest, the pomposity, the dishonesty, all of it, not only when some delusional ranting psychotic believer expresses his hope in fervent prayer that Jesus Christ will return to Earth , overturn the election, and make Donald Trump president once again, but on numerous other occasions as well. There is absolutely, proclaimed the ranter on the radio, no scientific evidence of any sort that whey you drive your car, you are killing the planet, warming the Earth, changing the climate, harming the world. how could such a simple thing as going to work cause all that?  The very idea that human activity is causing the climate to change is a hoax, a lie perpetrated by Democrats for the sole purpose of gaining power for the government, the power to control everyone's life and eliminate freedom. Republicans who refuse to believe in climate change are inf act freedom fighters fighting to keep everyone in America free, free from government tyranny. Climate change is a left wing communist plot, so say the ranters om  right wing radio. Climate change is a lie. But it is only one of man liberal lies, says the evangelical right wing lunacy community. Another lie is atheism. Most people probably think of atheism as a belief that God does not exist.  Atheism, like Christianity,like all other religious choices people make, is a personal choice. how can atheism, or any other form of religion or non religious choice, be a "lie"? Are all atheists lying about being atheists? Are they all closet Christians, devout Bible bangers, merely pretending not to believe in God for some unspecified reason? Perhaps they relish the rejection of the Christian community, and so they conduct their church services and Bible study groups in private. More likely, their beliefs are as real and as honest to them as anyone else's. The radio evangelical lunatic ranter further proclaimed that the LGBTQ community and lifestyle is a "lie". How so, precisely? Are gay people actually straight as arrows, allegedly gay guys going out to bares and chasing hot chicks, while pretending to be gay the rest of the time? Are transgender people merely faking being transgender? if so, maybe they are motivated by some perverse masochistic desire for social rejection and marginalization. the more likely conclusion, the only one which fits the facts, as that the lying is being done by the evangelical radio lunatic, telling the big lie that anyone whose religious or sexual orientation does not match his own is a "liar". They are the ones who should be rejected and marginalized, and would be, in a saner world, where millions of misguided lunatics did not agree with their insane attitudes.
