Ah yes, Vestralux. You've nailed him not to a cross but to a bullseye of some kind.
He's in the crosshairs big time now and we await our little symbolic David and his slingshot!
Ah, sweet Pete are you part of this plan in some way, perhaps? Are we symbolically building a new "church" upon this energetic system currently playing out in our ever so big theatre of the absurd?
I try to restrain my enthusiasm, because I don’t want to just sound like I’ve drunk the koodlaid on Pete. But I see him that way in my minds eye. Like a David, a warrior of God (maybe not so much the boy David but a young king who dances out of love for for the Lord). Young and with a kind of righteous purity, shining with light and standing up, unafraid, to all the demons of darkness. Like Trump and his enablers and homophobes and other haters.
I love how he just calls things for what they are, points out the hypocrisy, clearly and without anger, but with a firm hand and a bedrock moral authority.
He was given so many personal gifts with his intelligence and looks and spiritually advanced soul. I would like to believe he was meant for this time and that he will lead us into a brighter future. But the darkness of this period is a powerful force. I’m praying for him and for all of us.
FYI Michele, you can find the debate highlights for Pete here:

So, so true. He brings absolute delight to my heart.
Also, this line was perfection:
“I’m not scared of this president,” Mr. Buttigieg said on CNN. “I mean, this a guy who was working on season seven of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ when I was driving armored vehicles outside the wire in Afghanistan. I’m not afraid to take him on.”
Yeah, that was a great moment. When he’s in that mode, he gives off such authentic strength and no-bullshit moral authority. It’s really an interesting vibe. I’ve seen some Trump supporters call him “smug” but I think he’s reflecting the truth to them and it’s hard to look that in the face. Hopefully he can change some hearts and minds.
I imagine it's some pretty tough medicine that a Democrat and a gay man to boot is able to speak like this, and with so much conviction and steely authority. He can come from a place they claim to be about, but with far more authenticity and integrity. And at base, they all know it.
Sometimes smug is smug. Other times, it's what you call someone who makes you feel insecure.
As long as you remember to bring a proper towel ?
Sorry for the off topic hijack, everyone - back to your regularly scheduled thread.
I'm a Christian who believes in the Rapture and I asked Him the other day, out loud, if this is the end times, you couldn't have used someone less vomitous than Twitler? Really? lol
One thing I really don't understand about the right-wingers that Christians are commanded to fight and reject evil in all forms, not embrace it.
@polarberry, I used to live in a town where a certain bumpersticker was popular. It said, "In case of the Rapture, this car will suddenly be unmanned!"
Seeing them all the time made me want one of my own: "In case of the Rapture, can I have your car?"
Thought you might be able to laugh at this from both sides. ?
