I will have to disagree on this specific comment :

"the crazy fake christians who weaponize bible quotes to condemn homosexuality or call Dolt45 the gift from god."

Those people are not necessarily crazy and can't really be labeled "fake". I think that I get your intent about weaponizing the Bible, but many verses in it strongly condemn homosexuality. There is no need for a blatant stretch of Bible text to come to the conclusion that the deity described therein doesn't like it. Of course, other verses strongly condemn idolatry, and after hearing certain sorts of Christians going on about Trump, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to suggest that they are practicing it.

To be painfully honest, I made the comment about Stanton as a prophylactic against the possibly that someone would find the quote which I could not and use it to dismiss the value of Stanton's voice. It is an approach that I have come to expect from some quarters.
