No Wonder Our Government Is All Fucked Up

:roll:    Justice Antonin Scalia thinks a lot about the devil, 'Seinfeld.'  It's idiots like these that still think in superstitious nonsense and the cause for every bad thing is the devil and not ignorance, including their own.        Solitary

And then he starts talking about the devil. The devil is a "real person," says Scalia, and he says it's "curious" that we don't see much evidence of the devil anymore: "In the Gospels, the devil is doing all sorts of things. He's making pigs run off cliffs, he's possessing people and whatnot. And that doesn't happen very much anymore. ... What happened to the devil, you know? He used to be all over the place. He used to be all over the New Testament." Maybe he's keeping an eye on things in Congress.

And people wonder why I have so much distrust of the government.  :roll:

There can be no religious test for office - not even a sanity test.

To think, I actually liked a few of his decisions for actually being on the side of civil liberties.

It just shows what's behind voter ID laws and all the shit with that. Crazy fuckers are encouraged to vote. Nobody else apply.

That would be Jesus, dumb ass.

I saw Seinfeld once...  I kinda get his point.

Nothing against pigs, but making them run off cliffs doesn't sound that tough. Fence em in on two sides and chase them to the cliff.
Wow..that really takes divine intervention, huh?
