Have you figured it out yet? – Daily Kos

It came to me last night. It was terrifying.

Dahlia Lithwick alluded to it during her segment on MSNBC. But she didnt say it all out loud. She merely said that the recent SCOTUS rulings had no basis in law, they were just predetermined outcomes in search of a rationale.

Then I realized what the outcomes were supposed to be.

What basis could SCOTUS be using for rulings that subjugate womens rights, that permit unrestricted proliferation of weapons, that prevent governments from regulating environmental damage, that permit Christian prayers at school football games, that restrict the voting rights of wrong people?

Why would the justices be encouraging, even celebrating, the demise of American culture, the end of the longest secular democratic experiment on Earth?

Climate scientists have warned for decades that unmitigated continuance of our current lifestyles, our population growth, our cultural mores would almost certainly result in the extinction of life on the planet. But imagine for a moment that thats not really a problem. Imagine instead that thats the fulfillment of scripture. Weve always thought that climate deniers were misinformed and deluded. But what if theyre not? What if the extinction of all life is really the objective?

It is no coincidence that all the conservative justices are Catholic.

The basis for the SCOTUS rulings is clearly not the Constitution, nor the body of law generated by hundreds of years of precedence. Its the Bible.

But lets be even more clear. Its not the Torah, nor the Talmud. Its not the Bible of the Gospels. Its not the Christian Bible of compassion and hope and love. The justices are taking their cues from the Book of Revelations. Its the End Times. Its the Apocalypse. Its the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

For years and years, the damn liberals have stood in the way. Tried to improve society. Tried to build a better future. Tried to make America a land of justice and compassion. Tried to put lipstick on the pig of sin. But finally, scripture will prevail. Jesus is coming. Let the smiting begin.

It all finally made sense. The perfect model of American society is not Camelot or Athens. Its not Shangri-La or Valhalla.

Its Jonestown.

Hallelujah. Welcome to Hell.
