Nathan Deal? Georgia Gov Nathan Deal is a Christian. He loves the Bible SO MUCH, he made sure cabins in state campgrounds were equipped with copies of Jesus&#8217;s The Bible. But he&#8217;s also a Republican. A\u00a0super Republican. And as a Super Republican, Gov Deal hates Syrian refugees like Jesus did, and he wants to make sure that if any of those gross people get into Georgia, they won\u2019t be allowed to bathe in the excessive crab leg riches provided by food stamps. See, Deal is pretty casual about actually following some of Christ\u2019s advice, especially the things about hippie argle-bargle that jesus did not believe, like treating strangers as you would your neighbor. It&#8217;s a pretty messed up world when you have to travel through war torn regions with death and destruction and your light at the end of the tunnel is fucking Georgia.That\u2019s why Deal was among the 27 governors who, after the Paris terrorist attacks, bombastically announced that Syrian refugees were not welcome in Georgia. Had Jesus wanted us to take in strangers from foreign lands, surely He would have mentioned it.\u00a0Quell Surprise.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So color surprised when Gov Deal wasn&#8217;t on board with Georgia\u2019s state senate&#8217;s completely fucking insane<a href=\"http:\/\/www.projectq.us\/atlanta\/Georgia_Senate_panel_passes_broad_anti-gay_bill?gid=17595\"> \u201creligious liberty\u201d bill<\/a> which would protect Good Christian Assholes and their sacred right to discriminate against the gheyz. Gov Deal actually\u00a0said he would reject any measure that \u201callows discrimination in our state in order to protect people of faith,\u201d and urged religious conservatives not to feel threatened by the ruling. He also called on his fellow Republicans pushing for the measure to take a deep breath and<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201d recognize that the world is changing around us.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What the actual fuck? More:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat the New Testament teaches us is that Jesus reached out to those who were considered the outcasts, the ones that did not conform to the religious societies\u2019 view of the world \u2026 We do not have a belief in my way of looking at religion that says we have to discriminate against anybody. If you were to apply those standards to the teaching of Jesus, I don\u2019t think they fit.\u201d [\u2026]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A passage in the Gospel of John about Jesus\u2019 outreach makes the point, he said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What that says is we have a belief in forgiveness and that we do not have to discriminate unduly against anyone on the basis of our own religious beliefs. We are not jeopardized, in my opinion, by those who believe differently from us. We are not, in my opinion, put in jeopardy by virtue of those who might hold different beliefs or who may not even agree with what our Supreme Court said the law of the land is on the issue of same-sex marriage. I do not feel threatened by the fact that people who might choose same-sex marriages pursue that route.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>LOL when Jesus talked about outcasts, he didn\u2019t mean the gheyz, he meant white penis-Americans with Confederate flags on the back of their trucks breaking down on the side of the road and needing a lift the rest of the way to Walmart. It&#8217;s weird that the\u00a0Republican governor is taking this stand, while the Republican legislature thinks the most important thing in the world is protecting Jesus&#8217;s bakers from having to make penis cakes for lesbians. No, it&#8217;s really not weird, it&#8217;s just that big business goes APESHIT over these laws, because they are&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Bad For Business<\/h3>\n<p>When Indiana passed its initial Religious Freedom<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-32898\" src=\"http:\/\/teensleuth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/129763_front.jpg\" alt=\"129763_front\" width=\"260\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teensleuth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/129763_front.jpg 394w, https:\/\/teensleuth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/129763_front-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/> Restoration Act (RFRA), corporations were apoplectic, threatening to leave Indiana for literally anywhere else.
