27. Ah, the joys of living in a Christian nation...

really come into play once the Christians start trying to define what makes a True Christian...
As my kids say, #The_Troubles, #The_Inquisition, #KKK.

Once the GOP/Talibornagain/Teaparty cabal criminalizes Liberalism/Secularism, and kicks out the all the other religions and/or avowed Atheists who don't recognize Jesus Christ as either the Son of God or part of the Trinity...

That's the logical end game of American conservative thought. Little kingdoms of suspicious true believers worshipping whomever has control of all the local resources.
