I hope everyone here is aware that fascism has now taken hold in America and never before in the history of mankind has fascism stepped down when politely asked to do so.
It has always required force.
They’re all a bunch of f-----, that want to walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children. And we should look them in the eye and say, ‘No, you’re not going to have our children!’
Statistically, a child is at greater risk of being sexually abused by a preacher than a member of the LGBT community
That’s what he means. He wants them pure for when he SA’s them.
To evangelicals statistics are devil magic
TBF, I’m an engineer and I consider statistics dark magic… Only less so than its satanic cousin: probability.
Do not speak of the chaos
Probability is easy, once you realise the odds of something occurring is always 50%.
Either it does, or it doesnt. :p
Religion is incompatible with civilised life.
Religion is an endemic mental illness. I’d say people should keep it to themselves and once they leave their house, I don’t want to hear anything about it, or it’s off to the mental institution.
That‘s unfair! What have the poor guys in the mental institution done to deserve this?
I agree. Religion equates to mob mentality.
Or a cult mentality which is why the overlap between MAGA and religion is so huge.
Be careful, you’ll upset the “real christians”, who will tell you about how this person is a “fake”, because Jesus said “love thy neighbor”, and all the other things in the Bible “don’t count” for some reason.
Don’t say “religion” when you only mean Christianity.
None of the Abrahamic religions are good.
Glory to the Allfather hang the priests in a Blòt!
Find me a religion that can’t be used for evil and ill change my mind.
IIUC, the Torah is homophobic.

No, religion as a concept is incompatible with civilized life. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism etc. all make human life on earth objectively worse. Whether they are the origin or just an outlet for human depravity doesn‘t matter, they all need to be left in the past. Or the past with all its wars and suffering will not leave us.
Nonsense. They also uplift people and do a lot of good in the world. Billions of people find benefits in religion. The problem is human nature.
Yes, human nature being susceptible to violent propaganda from religious groups that deliberately creates in-groups and demonizes out-groups which leads to war and genocide at the behest of the rich who are the only beneficiaries.

I look at it like organized crime, you can invest your time, money and mind and you might see some benefits for yourself and your family but it causes untold harm to others and is a net negative overall.
Like fuck they aren’t.
Tell us you’re not paying attention to the rest of the world without telling us you’re not paying attention to the rest of the world.
This isn’t a church. It is a PAC that is doing this. If you buy Chick Fil A they are whom you are supporting.
I’m so proud that I’ve never spent a dollar there.
Is there anything that shows that connection and I could be giving my friends who still eat there?
There isn’t, because the source is his ass.
This was a pastor in Indiana during a sermon that was live-streamed on Facebook. So, like, funded by a PAC in what way exactly?
No PAC is mentioned in the article at all, much less a Chick-fil-A backed one. And this isn’t even tied to anything that would require any funding anyway.
I’m no Chick-fil-A apologist, but like, the idea that this is some secretive super-PAC that Chick-fil-A is using to fund pastors calling for the death of gay people is some Q-Anon level nonsense.
It’s a church.
When asked to respond to Falco’s inflammatory remarks, the church said in a statement that the preacher was “only calling for the death penalty and suicide for the actual sodomites (homosexuals). The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.”
This is the “reserved” and “compromise” position in their eyes.
reminder: these fascists assholes are not human. they give up all humanity when they actively choose to become or remain within this trump nazi cult. so when we say “nazis are not human” we are not dehumanizing them; they did it to themselves.
these fuckwits need prison. all of them.
Nah, they need to be executed. If it’s legal for them to say gay people should be executed, it’s legal for me to say they should be executed.
They are human. Hatred and cruelty is part of who we as humans are. The better among us are supposed to keep the monsters in check. We failed.
i mean sure in meatspace terms they are physically human but they have done irreparable harm to their internal humanity by supporting this ideology. It’s not just that I “disagree” with fascism (and capitalism and nazism and zionism, among other things) but it’s that there are provable choices these cohorts have made that have done far more harm, even to themselves, than ever imaginable.
History is a constant and never ending litany of such “failure”, and we NEVER learn. What’s your backup plan?
You’re right, it’s inevitable. The fascist US will be looked back on with disdain as fascist Germany is, there will be reforms to be better, then in a few generations someone will do this shit all over again (assuming we don’t kill ourselves off with nuclear war and/or climate change). All you can do is be the best person you can for those around you.
Indeed, they are human, and possibly under the right (wrong) circumstances some of us would exhibit some of the same traits. But we’re at a point that for us to keep being human for a while longer, they have to stop being human forever.
They are human shaped, but they are lacking something important…a soul, or something…
There is no final check on monstrosity. You failed. Accepting your personal limits is healthy. However, there is still plenty of we’s attempting to check the monsters.
I don’t think these are technically nazis. Nazis have a political purpose for which they do the things they do. These folks don’t have a purpose or an agenda besides murderlust en powerhunger. Nazis are evil as a byproduct, a side hustle. These folks are evil as their core business.
That is being a Nazi. Finding an “other” to blame all your problems on is central to the idea. If they let up on this for a moment, they’d have to solve actual problems, and they don’t know how to do that.
true, they’re worse. they’re capitalists.
Same/same
Never mind that the story they are referencing is about the importance of hospitality. It would be more accurate to say that the Bible is saying to kill ICE agents.
It doesn’t matter what it really says. They’ll claim it says whatever they want it to say, and then they’ll use that as an excuse for any atrocity they like.
They haven’t actually read the story if Sodom and Gomorrah, they’ve only had it explained to them by people they outsource critical thought to.
From the Passion narrative according to John (John 18)
29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”
31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”
“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected.
Literally the exact same method that the Jewish religious authorities used to try to convince the Romans to execute Jesus because they weren’t allowed to execute people.
(Note: this is not meant to be antisemitic, just contextual, though the Jews’ role in the execution of Jesus has been and is still used to justify antisemitism)
The shit that modern day religious people do might actually scare me into belief that there’s a Satan somewhere giggling his horns off.
Twist: Satan may just be the “good” guy…
I mean, what’s the big deal? The church (theirs of course) and the State were never supposed to actually be separate in a secular nation with something as clear as the First Amendment. The Founders with the likes of Jefferson who had a tenuous relationship with xtianity so very obvs meant this place to be JESUSLAND.
Also, it’d be the STATE doing the murdering, you guys! It’d be a righteous and lawful murdering, because Jebus.
How about we execute evangelicals?
Would that help?
Yes
I mean, soon it’s gonna be us or them.
How about we execute evangelicals?
We don’t.
Would that help?
No, it wouldn’t.
Child rapists: kill the gays! They hurt children!
“The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.”
Ah yes, Jesus was famously pro-death penalty as long as only the state was enforcing it.
Well yeah, Jesus had first hand experience in the state enforcing the death penalty.
First hands, then feet.
And he turned out just fine!!
You’re thinking of republican jesus.

Heresy. Full stop. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. That church is run by heretics, and needs to be called out as such.
The red letter texts of Jesus’ own teachings take precedent over any conflicting verses, and those teachings say to love thy neighbor as you would yourself.
I seriously hope that church has a nice big flat wall for someone to graffiti.
There’s no love like an Evangelical Christian fatwa. It’s what Jesus would do, amirite?
Someone really should investigate that preacher because there is a near 100% chance he is a pedophile.
Well that or seral killer.
Yep. Let’s check his fridge, freezer, basement, phone, Google search history and hard drive(s), stat.
My money is on both.
That sounds like a pretty safe spot for it.
these people quote whatever the fuck pleases them today.
the bible literally says to feed the poor and house the homeless and these fucks don’t mention it with a word
it’s literally just a way to manipulate lots of people in whatever way the rulers prefer
Feed the poor, house the homeless, care for the sick, welcome immigrants, have compassion for prisoners, do not judge, etc etc

Leviticus
Chapter 20
33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Is this the peace and love they’re always telling us this Jesus guy talks about?
As an LGBTQ+ American, I urge such evangelicals to execute themselves.
As a hopelessly straight American, I second the motion.
Based, you allies are wonderful <3
We should execute those who wield influence who make homophobic or transphobic comments in this way, by public hanging, immolation, or firing squad. I will literally vote for this.
It almost feels like they’re going out of their way to bring the LGBTQ community to the point of kill or be killed.
Were there. You may not realize it yet, but they have been there for years.
If you want to censor them, you don’t have to murder them.
Maybe put them in prison. They can only read the Bible or pro-LGBT literature, eat only vegan food, go nude or wear sackcloth, and given a choice between breaking rocks or participating in group therapy conducted by psychologists and psychiatrists who are openly gay, TG, and/or Otherkin.
That would make more sense in theory. I think we’re past the point of civility though.
If you have the power to execute them, you might have the power to imprison them.
You would think a death cult would.
that’s where you’re wrong. they want OTHER people dead.
That they go to North Korea and denounce the dictator, go to Afghanistan and denounce Islam as a heresy, or to Juarez and denounce, by name, cartel leaders as parasites who hate Mexicans more than Trump supporters.
My supervisor is a lesbian who proudly introduces people to her wife, and she is as rabid a Trumper as I’ve ever met. I’ve tried to introduce her to the “Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party” concept but she doesn’t understand the point. She has somehow concluded that it is Republicans who have fought for and won gay rights (like the right to marry that she’s a beneficiary of) while Democrats want to take those rights away. I don’t have any idea how somebody gets to a mental state like that - I can’t accuse her of drinking the Kool-Aid because no Republican media says anything like that.
She really hates black people so her basic conservative stance is at least understandable. Except that she talks loudly about how she wants to bang the black guy that delivers our water bottles.
Simplify it. She’s just a dumb racist bitch
I’m going to use slightly more words than you but she’s a modern day conservative: Her special circumstances are “okay” however other peoples are not. She should be protected, others should not.
So, much of what you stated makes my head spin, maybe it’s due to the fact that it’s early but I highly doubt that’s the reason.
lesbian
she wants to bang the black guy
Huh
She claims that she was never interested in women until she met her current wife. She is the absolute archetype of a butch lesbian so I don’t know what to say about that.
As a butch lesbian who considers my (left) politics a core part of my gay identity, how the heck is a Trumper the “absolute archetype?”
Are you just using stereotypes about how a certain kind of lesbian dresses? Because I guarantee a large subset of non-feminine women act/dress just like her without it having anything to do with sexuality.
Anti-fascist and anti-capitalist action are huge parts of being butch; it’s an OG blue collar gay identity. Please don’t equate nasty Trumpers with us. She can have a wife but the queer community sure don’t claim her.
I mean if she wants to bang a guy, sounds like she’s just bi and married a woman?
Racist lesbian, no less, who says she wants to bang the black guy.
racist bisexual and race fetishist.
I was so confused until i read that she’s racist.
