Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Welcome to Kentucky, home of bad Christians and no minimum wage

Home of Governor Bevan, Kim Davis, and mall riots.  I had to laugh when Davis, who has evidently decided to give comedy a try, said she was surprised that God had chosen her.  When it comes to horse's asses, this idiot is in a close race with Donald Trump.  Firstly, she wasn't chosen by God, she was chosen by her pimp, Mat Staver.  Secondly, she is so selfishly focused on her own biased beliefs she is totally clueless as to the terrible changes her new bestie, Governor Bevin, is forcing onto the people of Kentucky, like the minimum wage.  She doesn't care if his beliefs are this:

THE MINIMUM WAGE STIFLES JOB CREATION AND DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTS LOWER SKILLED WORKERS SEEKING ENTRY LEVEL JOBS. WAGE RATES IDEALLY WOULD BE ESTABLISHED BY THE DEMANDS OF THE LABOR MARKET INSTEAD OF BEING SET BY THE GOVERNMENT.

Does Kim Davis care if her newly elected governor doesn't believe in a minimum wage?  Or that he would like Kentucky to be like Mississippi, the poorest state in the United States, and have no minimum wage?  Of course not, because she doesn't think about people at all.  She thinks about herself, and how wonderful it is to have been chosen by God.
Does Kim Davis care if Matt Bevin guts Obamacare and those who finally got insurance are going to lose it?  Hell no, she's a state employee with damn good, fairly inexpensive insurance.
The truth is that Kim Davis is a member of the 'Me Generation,' and by being so, has personalized her religious beliefs to such an extent that they revolve completely around her own wants and desires.  The fact that people in Kentucky will end up being poorer is not even an issue for her.  As a result she's not a very good Christian because she doesn't care... not about them, only about herself, and the beliefs she has cherry picked.  No matter how bad things get, as long as she gets her way, her world is a good place.

  1. A non-Christian friend recently commented about some evangelical neighbors, who are perfectly nice and pleasant people, that they never give anything. Others in the neighborhood take them candy and cookies, offered them the use of a generator when they needed one, frequently spend hours helping out with things on the property, take care of their home when they are away for a few days. The evangelicals always express gratitude, but they never seem to think that they might consider doing similar things for others. They home school their children, spend lots of time in church and with extended family. But it is all very me-centered or, the same thing writ large, my-family-centered.

    I grew up in an evangelical household, but my parents were always generous and helpful to their neighbors and even to total strangers. This current of Christian self-absorption, which my friend attributes to the evangelical focus on personal salvation, was never part of my parents' evangelical tradition. It is so sad to see what has become of a once-noble faith.
