He announced to audible gasps at a Jewish forum in Las Vegas.

“I came here to say it’s become clear to me that it’s not my time. So after much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president effective today,” Pence said, to audible gasps from the audience gathered at the Venetian resort on the Las Vegas strip.

    Indeed, if they listened to their OWN religion, they’d literally get back in the closet, but they chose to follow the likes of James Robison:

    I am sick and tired of hearing about all of the radicals and the perverts and the liberals and the leftists and the Communists coming out of the closets! It is time for God’s people to come out of the closets, out on the porches, and change America! We must do it!

    I’d rather they go back to the closet, if they ever were in the closet at all. As instructed by their OWN holy book they talk about so much. How many of them have read it?

    But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

      Modern christians are the hypocrites the New Testament warns us about. Actual Christians who adhered to the principles of Jesus would be wonderful people.

        They’re out there. They just aren’t spewing verbal diarrhea all over everything all of the time like these asshats.

          I don’t doubt that they’re out there. Kinda like, theoretically, there are cops out there that aren’t bastards. But if they’re doing fuck-all to fight against the people trying to make the country a fascist theocracy, what fucking difference does it make? I don’t see any mainstream American Christians standing up against Trumpism, and I don’t see any police unions dropping their warrior cop, thin blue line bullshit. They’re all complicit, at the very least.
