Many claim that God speaks directly to them, often in dreams, and believe that Christians are called to wage a spiritual battle for control of the United States.
I increasingly feel like religious indoctrination in childhood creates a kind of mental illness or disability by disrupting the development of critical thinking skills.
This is not accidental. Many religious scholars have talked about the need to “instruct” children when they’re very young - by the age of three or four.
I have trauma from this, but from the other end. So many stunted people trying to force insanity on me as if it were logic. For the longest time I thought I was crazy or broken for not being able to make some connection they were. Turns out, there’s no connections. Just gut feeling.
Why don’t people create more propaganda that paints God as a transexual black woman sitting on the chair? Jesus as someone gay too? I feel like, if we destroy the image of God being a white bearded old man, all the religious people will develop second thoughts, specially the racist ones, which is the majority.
There is a reason why there hasn’t been a black pope, or a female pope, which is Christianity being super racist and misogynistic. If their excuse is that “women are weaker creatures that cannot be the voice of God” or, as I was told in my super religious school when I was a kid and Pope John Paul II died: “if the next pope is black, it means the Antichrist is here”. For a fucking 12 year old to tell me that it meant their parents were racist as hell, and I live in Mexico, in a state where there are literally like 1 or 2 black people per city, I am not exageratting.
Not only that, but if you watch the Oscar-award winner movie, Spotlight, you will see how did the Vatican and the Pope protect over a hundred of pedophiles in one american state alone out of the 50 if I don’t remember wrong. In poorer countries like Mexico or southeramerican ones, they are more rampant and worse, there’s a mexican movie depicting a priest having sex with a little girl and then taking her to take an abortion, in a very poor town outside the big cities. I am sure that kind of shit is so, so common here, just without the ability to make enough noise about it worldwide, it sickens me.
Nobody, absolutely nobody, needs religion to be a good person, we should indocrinate this to our kids, not religion. We can teach the best religious’ values without the divine divisive bullshit. The Vatican is covered in gold, yet a youtuber like mr beast has done more good with his money than they have ever done in decades, it’s really embarrassing to see their obvious evilness. Religion is poison.
The law never mentions drag, but refers to performers as “male or female impersonators,”
Following that logic, cover bands are also illegal. Also, a fun loophole – 14th century Europe, men wore dresses and makeup. You’re not a drag queen, you’re a historical representation.
Also there’s good odds they don’t get to choose their detail. The best of the best of the best probably get assigned to the standing POTUS and everybody else probably gets the runner-ups. So you could go into that career (probably years ago) wanting to protect and serve your country and all that martyr bullshit, and then because you got a 98% on your practicum while the other candidate got a 99% now you’re stuck getting sexually harassed by Trump for the rest of your career.
Do you think that Trump’s secret service people are there because they’re loyalists? I doubt they get to choose their details.
It’s only leapords meme worthy if it’s someone who was gladly supportive of (in this case) sexism against others beforehand… we have no evidence of that here.
And the rumors back in 2020 were that Trump made sure his team were all MAGA people. That way he didn’t have to worry about snitching. Which was later demonstrated when the USSS just magically up and lost records they should have had from Jan 6th.
I imagine that sitting presidents are able to hand-pick their detail, but do former presidents also get the same freedom to choose their own staff? I would assume that former presidents just get who they get, unless there's a legitimate problem with the assignment.
Isn’t this just a natural thing that would happen in this instance? I can’t imagine the number of secret service agents that want to be specifically assigned to trump is that high.
Conversely I would assume the number of secret service agents that don’t want that detail is fairly high. I assume a sitting president detail is more engaging for most in that line, plus the trump camp comes with its own special flavor of volatility.
I would assume those two things work together to essentially mean that trump did mostly have his choice for who works with him but who knows really
The leopards part happens when Trump throws his own security detail under the bus to stir up his base, which if his past is anything to go by, he’ll be doing shortly.
THEN we can have the leopards meme about the secret service. Pop it back in guys it’s not ready yet.
Shut up! I am better than you because my skin colour matches der Fuhrer.
Der Fuhrer says that rich people are better!
Der Fuhrer says God promotes him!
All hail!
Kind of love this, actually. Which is it, conservatives? Can Trump have the case brought against him by Smith, or do you want to let Hunter off the hook here?
Ah who am I kidding, they’re the kings of hypocrisy and gold medalist mental gymnasts.
This article doesn’t mention it but some articles suggested they are resorting to anonymous press leaks to pressure biden because he will not face the reality of what everyone is seeing. They are running out of time to make major changes.
This is the kind of news that should actually be posted on all of the ‘uplifting news’ communities, instead of ‘teen works 600 hours for minimum wage to help pay for his mother’s dialysis’ or whatever…
But I have to say, isn’t it still excessive? Is there even such a thing as per minute calling anymore? For people with per minute calling, how much does it cost these days?
