So he says god spoke to him...
Can we throw him into an insane asylum now? We actually let someone as insane as him in public office? Dude is off his fucking rocker.

No, Johnson! You get Jesus. You don't get to take Moses also! We Jews had him first. Go talk about how god told you to be like Jesus instead.
Then again, if you really want to be like Moses, gather the conservatives together and go wander in the desert for 40 years so that the rest of us can run this country without your interference. (Yes, the Moses allegory fell apart at the end, but conservatives in America aren't like Israelite slaves in ancient Egypt.)
Well that's literally blasphemy so we can rest easy knowing that he's going to hell.

I'd hate for this to be true. Anyone have a better source? I only looked for one in the article for like 3 seconds and didn't see one, but maybe it's there.
Or is "JoeMyGod" a legit news site I've never heard of lol

I wonder what he means by this. You know he's never read a bible in his life. What does he think Moses represents to the average American?
He absolutely has read his Bible. He has said the Bible is his worldview. He believes that his interpretation of the Bible is the only correct interpretation and he will never compromise on that, because he is a "true believer".
Moses spoke directly to God and told everyone else what God had said...and Johnson seems to follow that pattern exactly. He thinks God raised him up to "part the sea" between the Biblical Republic sect from the more middle of the road Republicans and of course from the sinful Democrats. He truly wants to use his beliefs to reform our society; he is a religious zealot.
That has made him much more dangerous to the US than Trump.

This is delusional ...
Pretty sure Moses wasn't the one in charge of Egypt in Exodus.
Maybe he should stop reading his weekly report about his son's masturbation habits and open a Bible.

Crazy religious people seem to often think that any intuition or sudden insight they have is God speaking to them. I think it's one of the big reasons they seem to always think God wants them to do exactly what they already wanted anyway.

Since US doesn’t have the Red Sea, I vote he walks into the Salton Sea to see if it parts for him

There's a very fine line between devotion and straight up mental illness. I don't want anyone who is hearing voices in a position of power over me, I want them in treatment.
Well, which "god" did this? Also, in a secular country, what this guy says his supposed "god" did doesn't matter (probably the Abrahamic god Jehovah/Allah/Yahweh that all these provincial xtian fucksticks always just call upper-case God as if their god was the only one ever in the mythologies of mankind). Not in the slightest. He can fuck right off with that kind of nonsense.
Mike Johnson is Mike Pence's unpolished, unrestricted Id.
He's trying to pretend he's all humble, but it is really just pride and greed that motivates him.
Sounds like he’s been burning too much bush
That's all we need is a fucking cultist two heartbeats away from running the country.
