“It’s very ‘Handmaid’s Tale’-esque,” one official said.

The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.

The department, according to a copy of an internal cable obtained by POLITICO, will work with an administration-wide task force to collect information “involving anti-religious bias during the last presidential administration” and will collect examples of anti-Christian bias through anonymous employee report forms.

The cable was sent out to embassies around the world under Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s name. The instructions also were released in a department-wide notice.

Leviticus is from the Jewish part, though, and is therefore inherently less valuable to Christians unless there's anything in there about murdering gays or treating women like property.

I dunno about that, but there is a bit in there about burning bulls testicles to appease the lord god

Imagine being a supreme being, creator or the entire universe and everything in it, all life, the fusion in the stars, supermassive black holes sucking matter into them, dust clouds across the cosmos, and yet still for some reason being impressed by someone burning bovine gonads.

At one point he cursed the Phillistines with hemorrhoids until they made him some golden ones.

Musk has how much money and influence, but rages when people say a mean thing online. I see God as no different.
