“This is how we should order our lives together,” he said. “And frankly, yes, we are going to impose it upon you. If you don’t like it, I’m sorry, but this is good and right and just if it lines up with God’s standards, and I am going to enforce my morality on you in as much as our morality is God’s morality.”

“You should always check yourselves,” he continued. “Do I believe what God believes? Am I defending what God says is good?”

“And if it is, then you should have the courage to say, ‘This is how we’re going to run our town, this is how we’re going to run our county, this is how we’re going to run our state, and this is how we should run the United States of America by legislating the morality that we can find in the Bible.'”

    Which God? Whose God?

    I for one think this man is a literal Devil-worshiper. If your religion leads you to hate, you’re worshiping Satan. Gay people exist because God wants gay people to exist. It is the height of hubris to dare to question the will of the Almighty. If God didn’t want people to be gay, he wouldn’t make gay people.

    This man is going to Hell. There he will join his master in the Pit.

    No, you fucking ARE NOT.

    this is how we should run the United States of America by legislating the morality that we can find in the Bible.

    You can go ahead and go fuck yourself pal, because this is a secular nation. Besides, the “morality” in the Bible is a horrible model for morality, sorry.

    Just imagine if Armageddon happens and God appears on Earth and they find out that God is a black trans woman with a furry girlfriend who is bisexual.

    Christian values like pedofilia, trafficking children, committing genocide, embezzlement, Zionism, Treason, state sponsored terrorist gang to brutalize the stranger the Bible told you to protect, cutting food assistance, stripping healthcare from millions and actual baby murder? Hard pass

      I remember a particular asshat on DP forums that would try to get me booted all the time, and always crying that there is no such thing as xtian Shariah Law and that calling xtianists talibangelicals was so very unfair and so mean, and oh my god, the civility of it all!

      The xtianists definitely have Shariah Law even if, sure, they don’t call it that, duh.

      Other than the days they worship and a few other differences about ritual and so on, explain the difference between backward dumbasses of the fundamentalist stripe of either of these Abrahamic religions?

      Both groups ache to subjugate women and murder infidels and gays, etc.

    You mean their made up fake Christian values. If an actual Christian saw what these creeps consider Christian values, they’d be very upset. Pretty sure infidelity, bribery, cheating, fraud, name calling, mockery, gambling, false worship, casting out of strangers and all the rest is exactly contradictory to the book they claim to hold in reverence.

    our morality is God’s morality

    That’s because you invented your idea of God to match your own prejudices.

    Do I believe what God believes?

    Humans have beliefs and opinions. If you think that which creates and sustains the universe has beliefs and opinions, it strongly suggests you’re overly likening it to yourself. Once again, you’re projecting your own prejudices.

    Just another case of assholes inventing God in their own image and claiming it went the other way round.

      If these guys were going to impose, say, the Quaker interpretation of “the” Bible on America, I might not mind quite so much.

      But no, these jerkoffs always take up the most ridiculously hateful and tyrannical version of xtianity that conservatives can find. It’s the most hateful version they can find to validate all their preconceived notions of morality.

      Kinda weird how that works - people with a decent set of morality join up with things like Quakers, or the UUs, or something like that.

      People with extreme conservative views join up with the militaristic groups that want to back Israel in order to bring about their end of the world fantasies.

      It’s almost like they treat “the” bible like a Rorschach blot, and that’s if they’ve even read the thing.

      I expect it’ll be when one of the writing class gets chronic pain or a death sentence diagnosis that could’ve been prevented if healthcare didn’t suck.

      Not unlike Luigi is accused, except he’s innocent.

      I think you’re confused about which website we’rebon. We’re on Lemmy here. This is a higher class of website. So, the question you should be asking:

      When is someone going to get fed up enough and [ Removed by Lemmy ] ?
