People like this used to be institutionalized
It is so unlike for far-right religious leaders to side with pedophiles, I am very surprised.
The world’s religions see no problem with sticking their dicks into children.
There’s a name badge in that picture so I looked it up. Apparently Alveda King, MLK’s niece, is on the board of “Black Voices for Trump”. MLK must be rolling in his grave.
I’m pretty sure that’s how they justified the Crusades.
Further evidence, if any more were needed, that these pig-ignorant sisterfucking hucksters should be taxed for interfering in politics, and better yet, should be institutionalized.
US was justifying its genocides in the middle-east by “they are religious extremists.” How much of it was projection?
All
Imagine believing that your all powerful god is so weak that he has to wait on you to start the end of the world. Pathetic.
It’s even more comical than that. Their own scriptures say that nobody will know the time of the end of the world. “I will come as a thief in the night.” But in their arrogance, they think they can force God’s hand.
Fundies never fail to escalate the stupidity and to stir up shit for the rest of us.
Religion is the greatest threat to peace and human well-being.
Always has been.
MAGA is a pedofascist death cult.
If they are so desperate to die, they can do it by themselves and leave the rest of us out of it.
If you lived the miserable, joyless, superstitious, sexually dysfunctional, paranoid, clueless life that one of them lives, you’d probably want to join a death cult too.
If they all Raptured themselves, the remaining world would be much better off.
Religiosity has been in decline in the US, hopefully the ultra performative sect that’s influencing him makes it happen even faster.
Far-right religious leaders should all be used for chum
I should have paid more attention and been more vocal. Every time those people came to my door telling me how everything was better when “god chose kings and leaders”, I should have had facts to refute them. Hopefully I will be able to in the future.
I don’t think facts would have helped you. This isn’t something they reasoned their way into. You’re not going to reason them out.
Can I make them question their reality?
Yes, by utterly and totally defeating them.
In my experience, no. But by all means try. Maybe you can plant a seed of doubt that grows.
Be Socratic though. Fewer facts, more questions.
If you invite them in and have an honest conversation with them they leave and never come back.
A few years ago, I lived in a grand old house in a nice bit of California and we’d occasionally get Mormon missionaries knocking on our door. One time, a couple of them caught me while I was off work and relaxing. It was a boiling hot day, they looked like they were suffering, so I invited them in and offered them some herbal iced tea and homemade fig bars (my wife’s a bit of a hippie, what can I say?). We talked a fair bit about religion, but I’m a non-believer, so that could only go so far. I have a policy of not trying to convince people to become an atheist, but if they ask what I believe, I’ll tell them. These young guys were recruited in Provo, suited up and sent off to Sodom-by-the-Bay to have doors slammed in their faces. They were naive and were very polite, nice guys.
To their credit, when I’d be in town after that, if I saw one ride by on his bike, he’d always wave and say hi, despite the fact that I’m an evil infidel.
Pro tip: don’t try that with Jehova’s Witnesses, they’re paranoid, hyper-aggressive and, in my experience, devoid of manners.
Well if Iran has nothing to lose and the US thinks it’s the end times this is going to end so well…
so…. The Crusades 2: Electric Boogaloo
I’m pretty sure there already was a second crusade between 1147–1149. If we’re counting, we’re up to the 9th or 10th crusade, depending on how you group the last of the crusades.
Doesn’t that story also include the Antichrist who’s “charismatic” and fools them all into fealty to him?
An immutable property of marks is that they don’t know they’re being conned.
They collectively believed in it so much that they manifested him into reality without realizing
Like the orcs from 40k hahaha 😂
But I honestly have way more respect for the orcs. They at least got creative with their collective psychic abilities.
They believe they’re too faithful to fall for that of course. It’s the empathetic who are antichrists.
yup its all signs of devil influence. not accumulating wealth and being against people who do. feeding the poor. helping those in need. these people need to find jesus.
shutuuuup, your sounding like my elderly grandma and is weirding me out.
Yes. Also, giant man-faced scorpions wearing solid gold hats will climb out of the Earth to eat the unfaithful.
UNCANNY FORESIGHT
(not a joke, really says that. tax free. They don’t have to pay taxes for this shit)
Everybody’s gotta go somehow. Being chomped down by a gold-hatted man-faced scorpion is better than lots of other ways of leaving this world.
yes, they think he is it, and that’s why they support him.
