WTF is a “Faith Office” and why didn’t DOGE cut it
Because “DOGE” isn’t about efficiency, but rather enforcing far-right ideology, by making anything left of Mussolini ineffective.
Before I was banned, my highest up-voted post on Reddit was a clip of this woman babbling in tongues for God to intervene in the 2020 election.
HAHA fucking found it! I challenge you to watch it and not laugh.
Lol what’s up with the guy walking behind her with a towel, is he trying to leave the planet?
She’s talking about angels coming from south america and africa to help trump win an election. Sounds to me like the church needs to be investigated for illegal immigration and voter fraud.
I recently got banned for saying we should have hanged all southern traitors after the civil war
I was banned for up voting this image:
I got banned for suggesting that government officials who violate people’s constitutional right to due process and get them killed as a result would be prosecuted for capital murder. Apparently, that’s “inciting violence”. I appealed it, simply to say “fuck spez”, and promptly deleted my account.
I had one of my account banned for saying a dude deserved that slap to the face for calling a black dude the n word.
I’ve only seen sniveling cowards in the trump administration, no men.
Ofc Trump has a fucking faith office. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if he tried implementing biblical laws like some type of Christian version of Sharia law, or called for teaching creationism as fact in schools.
FYI to Lemmy non-Christian’s: Paula White is an incredibly controversial figure in the evangelical community. Specifically, many believe her to be perpetuating fraud by demanding money from her followers in exchange for specific acts of prosperity provided by God (and even to ask God to smite your enemies). This differs from traditional tithing which typically is used for salaries, services (keeping the lights on), and community outreach.
Why evangelicals can’t point to her malfeasance as evidence of Trump’s corruption is a mystery to me. Additionally many conservative Christians don’t believe women should be in a position of authority, citing the same scripture she is here as evidence. If she were morally consistent she’d quit her “ministry” and go home.
Faith Office? Every single Ayatollah from 1979 Iran to the present should be fucking proud of this BS.
More power to you Paula White. I, nor my friends, will ever do anything like that. We are of the mentality that people form partnerships rather than a domination/submission relationship. Good luck to you though. I hope it makes your happy.
Sounds cool Paula… Please shut the fuck up then.
Well, this man is telling you to shut the fuck up, so maybe take your own advice.
Sounds like she shouldn’t have gotten divorced three times if she gave a fuck what Jesus said.
But the prosperity gospel types know they’re scammers, so she’ll laugh all the way to the bank.
If anybody wants a reason religion needs to die look no further than subjugation of half our population for religion to exist.
Some dude should’ve walked up to the podium and told her to sit down.
wish I could spit in the face of every fucking idiot who feels the urge to spread Christianity in any way. keep that idiotic bullshit tf from my life, you’re all clowns and actors
Feel free to spit in my face then.
I’d argue that what these people are spreading is about as close to Christianity as Trump’s sharpie hurricane map is to an actual hurricane though; damaging and ignorant by misleading people.
As an example, they say God orders women to submit to their husbands. They get that from a letter Paul of Tarsus wrote to a group of early Christians in response to the way a particular group of (uneducated, likely trophy) wives were behaving that wasn’t in line with Jesus’ teachings to put others before themselves, because they misunderstood the bit about Jesus being an ultimate sacrifice that freed people from Jewish law to mean that you could behave however you wanted, and all would be forgiven. Paul told them that’s not how things work, and to ask their (likely educated in Jewish law) husbands to explain it to them at home instead of disrupting public meetings by preaching junk like this.
Unfortunately, a lot if what the public sees of Christianity in the US is remixes of exactly the same things the Bible these people own directly instructs against.
Jesus was a socialist pacifist. These people attempt to re-make him in their own image, taking instructions from his immediate followers out of context to justify their behavior, totally ignoring actual direct commands like “love your enemies and do good to those who hate you.”
As part of that group, you own ALL their bad behavior, because your group doesn’t do anything to remove that element from the group.
So now that distorted sharpie-version of Christianity IS the actual and real Christianity, even if you don’t like it. You can either accept that being a christian is very similar to being a garbage nazi, or you can start to kick them out.
But they’re yours, and you’re theirs
Yup; upvoted, and doing exactly this.
But that same argument can be applied at all levels. These people are also Americans and humans, with a distorted sharpie-version of both identities.
We all need to own our shared identity with these people while rejecting the false narratives they stand behind.
“Humans” nor “Americans” are a group that espouse moral authority. So of course there’s a HUGE difference, and I’m not sure your point is anything but whataboutism
How do Americans have more moral authority right now than Christians? They’re overlapping groups that as a whole are behaving pretty badly right now. You could apply the same logic here to police officers or many other groups (manyotherism?)
You may have a point with humanity as a whole, as there’s only one way to exit that group and it’s not going to be an effective solution to the world’s current problems.
It’s not “whataboutisn” when someone says “I own that and I’m doing what I can to fix things. This needs to be applied to other groups as well” though. That’s a “yes, and” not a “not this but that” argument.
In this context, the other groups are brought up solely to illustrate the issues, and not to condone the bad behavior festering inside the larger group that self-identifies as Christian.
How do Americans have more moral authority right now than Christians?
Uh, what?
What would be more awesome? Walking on water? Or flying thru a lake at ludicrous speeds on a jet? Or same but on a jetpack? Or same but at 30,000feet on a Boeing flying machine?
Also imagine a Boeing plane sitting on 30,000 feet? Why!!!

knock yourself out
that comm seems to be quite progressive, and very intent to interpret Christianity in a good and helpful way. bit weird to target them tbh.
OP needed change of heart, maybe they’ll induce one.
