I’ve always enjoyed how God is simultaneously portrayed as all-powerful and all-knowing, yet extremely fragile and petty. There’s the “wrong” kind of relationship, heavy metal, now fluoride, and the list goes on.

That reminds me of the fascist playbook, where the enemy is both strong and weak.
Maybe we should just call it the "lying to control others" playbook.
So whenever you see someone with a lot of teeth missing and the ones still there yellow and brown, you know they are connected to God. All people in heaven have bad teeth. Wait a minute... Is England heaven?
A lot of people in England get Turkey Teeth these days. Few things are more godless than that.
Ah, the Hollywood anchorman smile, or cheap car salesman smile. Creepy AF.
In Dutch there's a saying "wie mooi wil gaan moet pijn doorstaan", translated "who wants to go pretty needs to endure pain". But these days with all the botox, bleaching, fillers, lifters, etc it's more like "endure pain to become a plastic toxic nightmare".
It used to mean that for getting buff or just some hair removal. But yeah. Body dismorphia is actively promoted because it makes money.
Oh man that's horrifying. The diagram pictures eeesh! Not to mention how shady it is to just hit up some foreign account over Instagram for something so potentially dangerous to your health.
It is, lots of beer and fried food.
Brit's best culinary claim to fame is good Indian food.
Ah yes the all powerful all knowing god thwarted by an atom he created. Guess we have the answer to the “could got create a stone heavy he couldn’t lift” paradox
"Mandrake. Have you ever seen a Commie with a glass of water?"
Why is God being invoked in ANY discussion of governmental policy? God is totally irrelevant to any government policy.
In normal times, people like that would be in an institute and properly cared for.
Clickbait title, but decent journalism.
That flouride quote is from one of the 5,000 rando attendees in one meeting. It was not uttered by who you're supposed to think said it.
Not that it matters, because it might as well have been said by Oz or RFK Jr or Orange Julius.
If MAGA is any indication, being connected to Yahweh's wi-fi is a horrific thing that destroys body and soul. Give me the fluoride.
Fluoride is the red pill that sets you free.
chugs as much fluoride as a data center chugs water
Haha, I'm literally loling over here. Fucking delusional, asinine bullshit. I can't believe these people are in charge.
50% of Americans are delusional religious nuts, not unexpected they would become our leaders. It's very sad to see, religion really harms society.
Religion is the single most regressive thing to ever happen to our species. We'd be so much more advanced by now if it never existed.
Please let this horror show end all ready…
“Fluoride disconnects one from God,” a listener with the username “Peter & Melissa BioHacking Stem Cells” wrote during one call.
One can but hope that Satan never discovers Yahweh's Kryptonite.
This is stupid. Beyond stupid. Cave brained.
That’s dangerous information to freely put out into the world, jr.. As an atheist, the only reasonable thing to do is to craft a fluoride knife and use it to strike down god. I’ll come out correct, one way or another.
Just print a toothpaste gun

An Unholy Fluoride Warrior
See, it's common knowledge that you can't "take anything with you when you go," but it's also known that your body will rise out of the ground on the last holy day, so clearly your physical form is made manifest. What THAT means is that if I fuse my ulna and radius into a triangular bayonet, and then rip off my hand when I appear before god, I can stab him! And now I know what material to coat my bones in!
AND I KNOW WHAT FLUORIDIC COMPOUND PENETRATES SKIN TO THE BONE!!
MAAAAARGARET?!? WHERE'S THAT HFl THAT WE HAVE SITTING AROUND?
What about testosterone and anabolic steroid injections Bobby?
This is why aliens don't stop to communicate with us. They see what kind of trash we're producing as a species and letting rise to the top of our social structures and they just move on to the next solar system.
Or maybe nobody ever makes it to interstellar travel. They always end up destroying themselves first, like we're currently busy doing.
It's 2025 and people still belive in the magic sky daddy like it's 1825. Absolutely insane.
“Fluoride disconnects one from God,” a listener with the username “Peter & Melissa BioHacking Stem Cells” wrote during one call. As part of his agenda, Kennedy has directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to review the use of fluoride supplementation in water supplies.
Ok, yep, this is the kind of insane, nutjob "Christianity" I grew up in and around.
These actual lunatic people just make up their minds that... something they don't like, for reasons that they know are nonsense, it just gives them an 'ick' for some reason... yep, its just haram now, its demons, because God told me personally when I prayed about it one day.
This is American Christianity, a gigantic ego trip for mentally ill people, and you're an anti-religious bigot if you criticize their anti-logic, their fever dreams.
Oh how I wish that all 100 million Americans who believe Trump is part of God's plan just actually had been raptured, I am so beyond tired of dealing with these people's aggressive and hateful delusions.
EDIT:
it is very funny to me that a year ago, on lemmy, i had liberal boomers tut-tuting at me when I would say things like "no, you don't get it, roughly one third of America fundamentally thinks democracy is stupid and would prefer a theocracy with American state propoganda characteristics", and then back that up with statistics.
Pshaw! What a ludicrous notion! The idea that you could suggest-
shhhhh its time to retire now, liberal boomer, retire from having agressively delusional opinions, shhhhh no you don't get to actually retire, no, your house isn't worth what you think it is, no, your investments aren't going to be enough, shhhh its ok, your mindless self indulgence didn't work out so well, just like we all told you it wouldn't, shhhhh, its time for bed.
You know what disconnects you from God? Greed. Too much money. That's what disconnects you from God. You cannot serve both God and Mammon. The Bible never mentioned fluoride.
Anything this guy says is bullshit, I'll do the opposite of whatever he says, after all I am just as much of a doctor as he is.
You're probably more of a doctor than him, because at least you have Critical Thinking Skills. Either this fool doesn't have any, or he's just being purposefully evil, or both, which is most likely.
The dumbest people in the room are running our country.
My understanding is that basically the political issue is that as we shifted to a more-specialized set of people working in various areas, experts
usually people with a university education in a particular relevant area
became the decision-makers. That led to some other people feeling disenfranchised, feeling that they had no input, because nobody cared about their positions.
That became exacerbated on things like homosexuality, where you had the reclassification of homosexuality in the DSM causing domain experts to be touching on things that some felt to be value questions, things that should not be a matter for specialists.
So what the Trump administration is doing is letting people feel that they're getting to have their input, even though they aren't some elite domain expert. Democracy has been restored, because now Joe Blow gets to say things and be have his voice visibly heard, rather than just being condescendingly ignored by bureaucrats who make the calls.
Trump beating up on Ivy League universities is political theater putting them in their place.
Stuff like that. Makes people who felt disempowered feel like order has been restored.
Some people believe that their ignorance is as good as hard-won facts. Fuck those people. You deal with the world as it is, not as in some dimwitted, stunted delusion.
I misread that as 'Florida' the first time around and thought "Hell of a claim, but it makes sense..."
He declares a jihad against fluorine.
I'd say having parts of your brain being eaten by a worm has a higher chance of being disconnected from God at about a 1000000000000:1 ratio. The fluoride isn't the problem.
Hell, I wouldn't surprised if the fluoride harms the worm in his head and therefore it forces him to say "FlUoRiDe BaD!".
Fluoride Disconnects One from God
OK, but at least one's teeth are strong and healthy.
If you look at these religious nuts, being disconnected from them seems like an advertising.
say and do anything to be 'relevant' and get shares.
that's all they need to keep being in the spotlight
(not blaming you or whatever, just this is what's happening and we can't stop it without stopping information which is what they want)
