“Few, if any, were more high-profile than Morris, who steadily involved himself in state and national politics after founding Gateway in 2000”

The 90’s nerd in me did a huge double take when I read Gateway 2000

Few, if any, were more high-profile than Morris, who steadily involved himself in state and national politics after founding Gateway in 2000. In 2017, Morris was tapped by Gov. Greg Abbott to help support the so-called “Bathroom Bill” that sought to ban transgender people from using their preferred bathroom — in part by arguing that it would allow children to be sexually abused.

Wow, the GOP actually hired an expert with hands on experience in child sexual abuse. Thats and unusual departure from their regular practice of inexperienced and unqualified people put in positions to decide legislation.

Amazing how these so called Christian people have so many mental issues.

How many millions have died in religious crusades and other idiocy...

I attended this church growing up, it taught me some important lessons.

Like, religion is a sham and people are hopelessly indoctrinated.

And, as Carlin put it, “God needs mooooonnneeeeyyyhhh!”.

Only the best charlatans work for co-president Tbag! Praise jebus, as well as all the tots and pears for another pastor caught diddling kids.
