You know who's stopping us from a science fiction future? The tech shitbirds lying about terraforming Mars and living for a thousand years by drinking teen hormones.
The words "Gospel," "Jesus," and "Christ" occur exactly zero times in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Federalist Papers. However, a Google search of "Josh Hawley Liar" yields more than a hundred results.
