Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

its not the job of the government to obey Christian values. its the job of the government to protect its people, and if those people are gay, the government is OBLIGATED to make their life better like any other citizen.
Christians are assholes and morons
All religions are backwards and brain rot.
The "best" religious people are those that follow as little of the made up bullshit as possible.
Oh I agree. I just particularly dislike Christians.
Any religious fundamentals is basically a lunatic to me. Islamic Isis or the Christian Trump death cult, they are going to be the end of civilization if we don't stand up to them
Why?//cause America has fucking crazy ones.
Its a long story lol

You think it won't be women next? Then nonwhites? Then non-christians? Then the Final Solution?
We've seen this movie before.

the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion - John Adams
We'll see about that
-Conservatives, historically and today
Tell that to Homelander
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
It's right there in the first line of the Bill of Rights.
In case you haven't noticed already, the American government is run by a bunch of fascist that don't care about the rules (they only pretend to when it's convenient).
Right, so they'll just do it without Congress.
Have they even done anything in Congress? Seems like all of their policies have been dictated by the orange absolute monarch.
Voted stuff down is about it
Funny that you expect these assholes to read.
what? you want these people to read now?
if they didnt read the whole bible they sure arent gonna read the whole constitution.
The jokes on everyone who still acts as though they're dealing with rational people in good faith, instead of mentally ill religious extremists, sociopaths, psychopaths, and pedophiles.
Whether they were inherently susceptible, or indoctrinated through psychological warfare, is largely irrelevant. You can't deprogram tens of millions of people, especially while the propaganda apparatus remains.
Oh good, they were looking for that quote. Ran out of toilet paper again.

Debts higher than the GDP, better worry about how many genders there are. Conservative be dumb as rocks
They don't care about the debt. Unless Democrats are in power. Then they pretend it matters.
As long as someone else is footing the bill they don't care. Until it personally affects them.
Me to every self-identified LGBTQ+ person shitting on Biden/Harris in 2024:

Does anyone remember the New Testament verse where Jesus tells the gay people to all fuck off and that his followers should persecute them? All I remember is him clearly saying to 'love thy neighbors' a lot - pretty gay tbh.
I did read the bible many decades ago, can't remember any such verses - will admit it was a total snooze fest though, so I might've missed it or forgotten.

Meanwhile, the sheep and the goats part just gets ignored
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
I'm sure they'll do some backflips to say "the brothers only mean people I like", but then there's the "who is my neighbor?" part.
29 But wanting to vindicate himself, he said to Yeshua, “Then who is my neighbor?”
30 Yeshua replied, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He was attacked by robbers, who stripped him and beat him. Then they left, abandoning him as half dead. 31 And by chance, a kohen was going down that road; but when he saw the man, he passed by on the opposite side. 32 Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side. 33 But a Samaritan who was traveling came upon him; and when he noticed the man, he felt compassion. 34 He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine. Then setting him on his own animal, he brought him to a lodge for travelers and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[b] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him. And whatever else you spend, upon my return I will repay you myself.’ 36 Which of these three seems to you a neighbor to the one attacked by robbers?”
37 And he said, “The one who showed mercy to him.”
Then Yeshua said to him, “Go, and you do the same.”
But they're not sincere, so the text doesn't matter.
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
-Leviticus 20:13
^ The only part of the bible they care about.

I'm a Christian, and I hate this movement so much. I want to hate the people, trust me, but Jesus said to love, so I must. Seriously though, separation of church and state, now please.
Part of loving someone is holding them accountable for their own actions and behavior. Growth is not possible without accountability
Amen to that. I do my best to have meaningful conversations where I can.

The evangelicals love their old testament violent stuff. They actually want the world to end, think the jews will help and that's why they support zionists.
The evangelicals love their old testament violent stuff.
They HATE so much that they want the world to end so the people they hate will get what's really coming to them.
They say religion is the opiate of the masses, but I'd argue it's more just the syringe. Hate is the opiate of the masses.
Got five letters for tyrants. I'm sure all my queer homies who I absolutely have NOT been watching do insane firearm drills for the past 10 years will take that laying down!
The cool part of not having respect for the law is you get to just like, not apply it to yourself!
Entirely unrelated, did you know you can make an AK, semi reliably, automatic with a wire coat hanger? Crazy shit man.
It's pretty clear trump is working for something bigger and the goal is just to wear America down to near collapse so something else can be built in the rubble.
It's also clear most Americans have had way too much privilege in their lives to even live like real humans or care. God bless consumerism, escapism, and denial.
It feels like a nation that pimps its people then offers them drugs to escape until they get pimped again.
That may be the most apt analogy ever.
