It already is. The rest of us just get to fight for scraps now.
This decision is just the Supreme Court saying “let them eat cake.”
It’s a shame we didn’t even make it to 250 years, but the Christians had to force a theocracy again. They don’t feel right unless they get to murder people for being different.
A bunch of fascist Christians support Israel, which is an odd flex considering history. But we all know, they think they’ll get into “heaven” if they support Israel. It’s not about protecting humanity, it’s all about them. Never was anything else.
I used a program to delete all of my posts and comments at once. It took some time since it went post by post, but I didn’t want any of my intellectual property making money for a company that continues to shit all over users.
In states including North Dakota, Mississippi, Alabama and West Virginia, half or nearly half of residents support the view that Christians should dominate all areas of American society, including its laws, according to a new survey about the influence of Christian nationalism by the Public Religion Research Institute, based on...
There are at least 2 Trump themed stores in the Pigeon Forge area of Tennessee. Ironically, one of them is next to a Mexican restaurant. I’ve never felt any inclination to enter the Trump store, but I’m sure it’s absolutely full of cheap shit that they got from a bulk online shop from overseas, despite their gung-ho bullshit.
You know what you don’t see? Biden stores in California or NYC. Because the left isn’t a fucking cult full of slack- jawed yokels whose parents were related.
The spending stalemate that has brought the government to the brink of a shutdown is being fueled by G.O.P. demands to add conservative spending mandates opposed by President Biden and Democrats....
I’ll tell you how to fix this; make a law where if there is a shutdown, an immediate freeze goes into effect on the assets of every member of Congress. No access to their bank accounts, no flights, no income until the shutdown ends.
My boss is one of those “ultra Maga” lunatics. He likes to say “well, wherever you get your news isn’t giving you the full story.” I said “did you ever think that maybe you’re being lied to by Newsmax?” He got very indignant about it. The notion that a Russian propaganda channel would lie to him of all people…
That’s the thing; Dunning-Kruger is rampant among these people. And, it hasn’t escaped me that it’s mostly people with a Southern accent. The fact that the American South has some of the lowest education scores and highest rates of religion kind of tells you everything you need to know about who the civilized world is up against.
There’s a reason Hitler had a hard-on for the Jim Crow South. The line between Confederate sympathizer and Nazi is razor thin.
Good. I stand by my belief that Christians are absolute pieces of shit that should have their churches taxed into fucking bankruptcy and their assets seized for being fucking liars who, for 2000 years have been taking advantage of the poor.
The difference is, he’s allowed to call for the death of Innocent people and hide behind his gold plated cross like a fucking coward.
Meanwhile, nobody is allowed to say a goddamn thing about his church diddling kids and getting away with it, because they’re federally protected. And for what? What has a single goddamn Christian done for society? The crusades, the inquisition, the Holocaust… And now all they do is go on “mission trips” to poor countries to get a picture of themselves holding a shovel. The lot of them are as useful as taste buds on an asshole.
It’s all a goddamn show. Not one of them actually believe a fucking word of the Bible. They all know they’re collectively full of shit and just going with the motions hoping no one calls them out on it.
I was homeless for a year, through no fault of my own. I had a full-time job and lived in my car, occasionally renting an Airbnb to shower. I went to every single Christian Church in my home town trying to get help and every last one of them turned me away. I couldn’t even get them to give be canned food.
I went to a Jewish synagogue and they fed me and one of the rabbis let me wash my clothes at his house.
That’s what good Christians are. They’ll keep up appearances for that tax break, but anything past that and they’re full of shit. Always have been.
I can’t speak for all, but every factory I’ve ever worked in has had a mold issue. They’re not the cleanest places to work. Sounds like this is just par for the course. Hopefully it can be remedied.
A lot of factories, particularly in Florida, are open air because they don’t want to pay for air conditioning, which just makes the situation worse.
Of course that’s not the only issue with factory work. Between “mandatory overtime” that doesn’t get announced until minutes before the end of your 15 hour shift and getting written up even with a doctor’s note… Or even paying for medical insurance and simply not being able to use it… Very few people want to work in a factory setting. The ones that do have to just to survive.
It’s modern day slavery, they just don’t beat you anymore.
Don’t forget how “pro-life” the Christians pretend to be whilst simultaneously getting harder than Chinese algebra at the prospect of murdering people that aren’t the “right” color.
It’s sadly going to fall on deaf ears so long as our government, pushed by the Christians, continues to fellate Israel so they can get a “reward” when they die.
That’s what this boils down to, folks. The Christians dictate foreign policy so they can continue to feel high and mighty about themselves. This isn’t about lives on either side of the situation; it has been and will continue to be about Christians thinking this benefits them directly. And it doesn’t matter how many women and kids die, so far as they are concerned. This is all about them.
They’ve been telling us who they are for 2000 years. It’s time to believe them and adjust ourselves accordingly. Similar to disregarding what any other bigot says. They shouldn’t be allowed to hold office considering they are commanded in their Bible to go against “earthly” things. A slave cannot serve two masters and they will (and have) sold this Country to benefit themselves.
If Trump wins in November, we need to get used to the idea of a theocracy in our lifetimes.
They’ve been pushing the Reichstag Fire thing for a while, actually.
In that scenario, Hitler was saying that it was those damn “communists,” namely Marinus van der Lubbe, (there’s some debate on if he could have acted alone) who was allegedly a known pyromaniac with a history of mental illness.
The Nazis convinced a mentally ill person or persons to attack their capitol building and blamed it on the “communists.” Does that sound at all derivative?
They’ve been doing that without impunity for checks watch about 2000 years now. So much so that you just mention Catholicism in the same sentence as “choir boy” and everyone knows what you’re talking about.

And thus setting in stone that there will be a Christian jihad by what is the American Al-Qaeda in this country.
Prepare yourselves for the inevitable, folks. None of us are safe from these lunatics. If you have a friend or family member that is LGBTQ+ start thinking of ways to hide them.
We’re entering the state backed terrorism part of this exercise.

I used to live in Volusia County, where a kid died from meningitis recently. The city of Oak Hill had the audacity to call the school “Burns Science and Technology” Charter School.
The town that it’s in had a history of being populated by people who were hiding out from the cops, most of them for drug charges and about 10 years ago, their entire police force was fired because of meth use. The county is now in charge there.
This is a town that is in the process of being gentrified, but it is still very much full of ill-informed rednecks that are hostile to any kind of governance.
The fact that a kid died because of the ignorance of the State of Florida is an absolute tragedy, full stop.
And this city is also responsible because they know that vaccines are necessary to prevent this kind of thing, and they chose to ignore both common sense and logic.
Ron DeSantis only set the precedent for Florida to be able to let this happen. The kid’s parents are to blame, along with the city of Oak Hill and Volusia County. Shame on the lot of them.

Utah has the highest teen suicide rate in the nation
That’s a terrifying statistic. I’m gay and I only barely made it out of my Christian family. I knew it was bad out there, but I hoped it was getting better…
These Christians have got to be dealt with. Talk about an enemy at the gates…
Thank you. I was far more fortunate than a lot of my LGBTQ brothers and sisters. My dad tried to talk to me about it once when I was about 12, but he decided to take me on a fishing trip with one of his friends. I felt cornered, so I just avoided their questions. They were both vocally anti-gay, so it was a moot point regardless.
I feel you on the separation of church and state, though. I live in Tennessee and apart from there being giant crosses that get used as landmarks, but the whole state may as well just be a huge billboard for the Christians. That’s not even mentioning the fact that Christians graffiti under bridges and post signs there that say “Repent: The Lord is coming” and other little Jesus catchphrases. Last I checked, spray painting government property was a crime and so is littering (I consider the signs the same as dumping trash).
Nothing gets done about it because, at this point, Christianity is state sponsored terrorism. I don’t know what else to call it.
You’re not wrong. The ordeal was basically him saying to his friend “You know (friend’s name), if I had a son that was ‘queer’ I don’t think I’d mind.” His friend tried to basically just agree with him, but it was awkward, mostly because the conversation was apropos of nothing; just brought up out of nowhere.
To this day, I struggle with hearing the word ‘queer’ as something other than a slur and I feel bad even saying it just because of the negative connotation in which my dad used it. I know that it isn’t and that people who identify as such use the word proudly, as well they should, but I’ve had to hear it as a word that meant something bad my whole life. I’m working on changing that way of thinking, but it’s been tough.
To your other point, if Jesus were real, he wouldn’t take a single Christian (Save for maybe Dolly Parton) to “heaven.”
My boss is a hard core “Christian” that has hot-take opinions on things like immigration. I asked him if “Jesus” would approve of his opinion on that and his exact words were “I don’t care what Jesus said.” None of them actually believe a word of what they hear at church. They just recite what they hear, a la “bros” that quote ESPN. It’s all one big act that they’re all in on, but no one wants to break the fourth wall, so to speak.
