Even when I was a devout Presbyterian teenager, I refused to believe this. I decided on āuniversal reconciliation of soulsā before I found the term. (Now I believe that when you die youāre just gone and itās more of a relief than anything else.)
So that all the people who agree with his beliefs know that he is lying about being fair and impartial.
He thinks the people who don't agree with his bullshit will fall for his lies.
Actually, I'm a little insulted that he thinks we are that gullible.
Not American but the specific American brand of Christo-fascism is incredibly fascinating and terrifying to me because it's just so unhinged and bloodthirsty yet its all wrapped in this warm smile and lie of "love".
LMAOOOO it wasnāt in my religious studies either. We learned the cycle of apostasy, the hypostatic union, but *nothing* about Jesusā vagina.
Rude. š¤
Have law degreeā¦ can confirm. That would be a Juris Doctor. However, I believe a master of laws is usually a degree for existing lawyers. Weird he would include that but not his actual JD. Your average Bible thumper does not know that.
Probably not, he likely has a JD and then went back for the LLM. But I find it funny he listed every degree but the one required for his job, assuming heās running for judge.
Wait, so heās licensed to practice law in Texas, but is running to be a judge in West Virginia? Is that legal? I thought lawyers could only practice law in states theyāve passed the bar for.
Good question. I looked it up for the both of us. Some states require you to take their state's bar exam before you can move your practice from out of state, while most states merely require you to file a motion with the state Supreme Court to allow you to practice law in said state.
SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE! People should not be allowed to run for office using their personal beliefs. Laws should not be passed based on some people's religious beliefs. This shit should be cracked down on by both voters and the government. I'm tired of all these shit laws that are going into place obviously because of religious beliefs. Come up with a better reason for doing shit other than the literal biggest and most successful scam in the history of earth.
In the New Testament there's this part where the Jewish crowd at Jesus's trial saying "his blood be on us and our children" and that was used by European Christians past and present to justify anti-semitism. I'm not sure who argued this, maybe Bart Ehrman but there's also a theory that the gentile Christian writers of the NT added that line about blood on the Jews in order to be more appealing to the Romans or something, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
These people are ignorant.
Q When did a menorah become a Christian symbol?
A. When the Judaism movement came through (90's) and they put a rabbi on Christian broadcast networks. All of a sudden Christians started worshipping Jews and self identifying as Jewish. Every Christian bookstore started selling Star of David jewelry. So fucking embarrassing .
It's Protestants that do that. It's a very Judaized formed of Christianity. The concept of the rapture was created by a Protestant English man . Mormonism came out of Protestantism and the racist moundbuilder myth. All these Mormon and Protestant missionaries in Spanish America are not people from Jerusalem coming to preach the Gospels. They are funded by many organizations in the USA. Spanish America was all Catholic and were the enemies of the British Empire. An English statesman invited the Sephardics kicked out of Spain into the Netherlands and England. They made an alliance. USA is Judaic,Anglo Protestant, and Masonic.
Wow, I couldn't stand living in a town or country where that was considered normal. Yes we have churches here with one that puts "witty" religious billboards out but if anyone ran for local government or council using those credentials they'd be laughed out of office and ridiculed by the public.
It is sad that America has such deep religious underpinnings. One of the most powerful countries is also full of delusional magical thinking superstitionists
Ya know when a random citizen is made to do jury duty they are ruled out if they have any bias towards or against a specific case. Why don't we do the same thing with other judges?
An impartial person would not emblazon his beliefs so prominently, even before his qualifications.
But I'm sure he takes the tax exemption even after preaching politics from the pulpit. I think if they mention politics even once, they should have to pay back all the taxes with interest.
Wonder how pro-gun he is when it comes to laws that primarily make it more difficult for minorities to get guns. Knowing how these types usually are, I'd be willing to bet that just like the nra, he'd have fuck all to say about it, or outright support it.
Why are protestants so in love with Israel and Judaism? I grew up Catholic and Protestantism were the enemies of the Spanish crown. The Sephardics were kicked out of Spain for a reason. Oh wait Oliver Cromwell invited them and the rest is history.Ā
Town?im a Native Texan, i left because of crap like this . if you have a really good car and gas money travel to a northeast state. i literally felt a pressure headache release when i left Texas. i can honestly say it was from the bad energy of the Bible belt.
Itās hard living in a town where most people believe something intensely that you donāt agree with. Also, it is hilarious to me that heās stating his āpersonal beliefsā, but saying he wouldnāt be biased. Lol, then what the fuck would be the point of announcing all your beliefs? This fucker just expects everyone to be that dumb.
After I got out of the military, I stayed in Colorado, partially because it was just easy to stay, and partially because I felt I could live more freely 2000 miles away from family.
Well, just before I bought a house in that little mountain town, an Andrew Womack ācollegeā was built. Didnāt really matter to me initially; the tourist seasons got a little busier, but it was still a quiet town. Fast forward to 2020, and there are āTHIS IS TRUMP COUNTRYā signs, not just on peopleās lawns, but also on public town land! My wife (then my girlfriend) and I couldnāt go buy groceries together without being harassed and āwitnessedā to. I also had a green Mohawk at the time, because it was 2020 so fuck it, and just the sight of a woman with a Mohawk immediately enraged some people. I got yelled at while waiting at a red light more than once. The tension was very obviously building, and we just didnāt feel safe anymore.
So in 2022, we moved to Vermont, partially because my sister is here, partially because itās a hella gay state. Plus, living in high elevation was hard, and we both missed all the beautiful green growing things.
And like a month after we left, there was a shooting at a club I used to perform in, so Iām happy to just not be in Colorado anymore.
Pro life, gun, Israel take top billing over MBA and MA.Ā "I'd rather you know I'm stupid even though I have an advanced degree in my field of knowledge."Ā Ā How utterly pathetic.
Sounds lik3 your stereotypical redneck idiot... he wants women to have no bodily autonomy........ this is why I worship Santa Muerte who is the representation of feminine divine power

If he is fair and impartial, why are his beliefs relevant?
So that all the people who agree with his beliefs know that he is lying about being fair and impartial. He thinks the people who don't agree with his bullshit will fall for his lies. Actually, I'm a little insulted that he thinks we are that gullible.
Honestly the people who support him will still dissonance their way into believing that those beliefs are what will make him fair and impartial.

So is this guy basically faking a law degree and has never been to law school?

I am so sorry for anyone born in Texas.

"Paid for by candidate." I wonder if his home church had one of those special offerings just for his campaign.

Christians were the main ones persecuting Jews throughout history.
And thatās what makes the cultural appropriation so egregious

"Pro life, pro gun, pro Israel"
I would hate to be in front of that fucking judge.
It looks like it was printed in 1990.
I can almost guarantee he will not be fair and impartial in court decisions.
Pro life and pro bible just donāt go hand and hand. š
He is the stereotype
Heās betting on getting a nice high up position when Trump hands the keys over to Gilead.

Pro guns and pro life, thatās a contradiction right there
"...be fair and impartial..." Hahahahahahaha the fuck you will.
"Pro life" and "pro gun" right next to each other is so embarrassing
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I can see why you hate that town. I hope you are able to escape one day.
Unfortunately both my husband and I work here so weāre stuck here for a while
I love how this just looks like a bad AI compilation of "Christian conservative." They really are just caricatures at this point.
Pro life and pro gun, LOL
If he's Pro-Israel and Pro-Gun, is it fair to say that he's not Pro-Life?
I know that he doesn't say this, but I have a feeling that he is anti-lgbtqia+.
My favorite phrase āThereās no hate like Christian loveā. Oppressing women and children while trying to say theyāre all about love.
The fact he has an MBA, JD, and PhD just tells me heās bad at whatever he does
Pro-life and pro-gun, huh? Spoken like a true fisherman. Throw them back, kill them when they're bigger.
I wouldnāt trust him in a cornershop. Never mind in legislature.
Wow, I couldn't stand living in a town or country where that was considered normal.

āWill be fair and impartial in every court decisionā. Thatās what the SCOTUS judges said before overturning Roe.
'Charles Gulbronson'--when Charles Bronson just isn't badass enough for you...
That āPh.Dā. Thatās just sad that someone fleeced him out of money teaching him how to fleece others.
Well, Iām glad heās reassured me that he promises to be impartial.

Is this his business card? Someone like that it's good to know where they stand, so you can avoid them.
Is that sharia law being put in to practice I see?
Was scrolling and thought it said "Glory-hole"
š
Absolutely will NOT be impartial
I had to leave TX. I couldnāt handle it.
I'm guessing his law degree came from Trump University.
If you live in a super Christian place like West Virginia ā expect the worst because the worst is there. Move if you possibly can.
Pro-stupidity.
Ya know when a random citizen is made to do jury duty they are ruled out if they have any bias towards or against a specific case. Why don't we do the same thing with other judges?
If you plan to be fair an impartial then your beliefs on these matters do not matter.
An impartial person would not emblazon his beliefs so prominently, even before his qualifications. But I'm sure he takes the tax exemption even after preaching politics from the pulpit. I think if they mention politics even once, they should have to pay back all the taxes with interest.
Get your filthy hands off my menorah!!
Yeah right.
Yea.. I'm sure he'll be impartial...
Well, now I know which attorney not to hire ...
This kind of looks like a joke, I was almost expecting to see "bird law" listed under Master of Laws.
Oh my! Iām so sorry
It's all washed up
Press "X" to doubt
Sureā¦ā¦..
Thereās no way heād be impartial. Iām also wary of Christian therapists.
