KILL THE TRANNIES AND THE GAYS!!! It says to do so in Leviticus.
-Republicans, soon probably.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”
It’s right there in the first line of the Bill of Rights.
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.
You think they’d notice it eventually. It comes around on the roll at least once a week.
Funny that you expect these assholes to read.
But don’t you understand that gay people merely existing prevents these people from pursuing their own religion, which includes the serene knowledge that the entire world is like them?? /s
Right, DOJ isn’t Congress tho
DOJ didn’t exist when the Constitution was written. Courts have long determined that this applies to any state or federal institution.
That was those courts, we’ve got these courts.
Ugh, I hate how right you are.
You think it won’t be women next? Then nonwhites? Then non-christians? Then the Final Solution?
We’ve seen this movie before.
You think it won’t be women next? Then nonwhites? Then non-christians? Then the Final Solution?
Last hired, first fired
… they use a similar logic. First we accept this lifestyle? Then we require it? Before you know it, we will depopulate ourselves into an extinction.
Here’s what the article says:
Among its findings, the report targets a 2024 rule which required foster care providers who wanted to receive designated placement status for caring for LGBTQ+ children to receive training on the needs of LGBTQ+ youth, help queer kids access to age-appropriate healthcare resources, and “commit to establishing an environment that supports the child’s LGBTQI+ status or identity.
As impactful and significant as these programs seem, revoking them doesn’t sound like a Holocaust in the making. Are gay children so different from straight children that their care requires a training program?
Such a long winded way to say “I’m an idiot” lol
It just seems like the policies being revoked are more virtue signaling than anything else. Both parties are virtue signalling. It’s meaningless rhetoric; nothing was achieved.
You know what would be awesome for the gay community? Free healthcare, legal pot, a well-funded Social Security system. They benefit from the same things that benefit everyone else.
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.
Wasn’t there also that bit about “the Disciple that Jesus loved”?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Their interpretation of the Bible is just as valid as anybody else’s.
Edit: Oof, I must have upset the hardcore Christians. Why else would you downvote this comment?
Correct. And that validity is “zero” or “none.”
It’s a book of fables that enables evil people to do evil. No need to comment back, you can’t change my mind on this.
In all seriousness, what did you actually think I meant by my comment? We are basically saying the same thing. But somehow you act like you’re disagreeing with my comment.
Not sure why you think I would try to change your mind.
I didn’t downvote you, but no… Not really. And people are probably downvoting you just because you’re wrong.
Like if someone said their interpretation of the bible is ‘that we should all trebuchet kittens at the sun during eclipses’ they would be treated as idiots - because that claim has no backing.
Its a book full of fables, correspondence, parables, and accounts of history. It’s not written to be highly interpretive - it’s written to be proscriptive. That some people twist its wording for their own political or ideological interpretations is something that should always be called out - if they’re claiming to be followers of Jesus and their core religious text contradicts them - that’s ridiculous, and it’s pathetic that a lot of people go along with it unchallenged.
P.s. not Christian BTW.
I think you and I are in agreement about the end result. Fact is, people can and do validate their shitty beliefs using the Bible all the time. Just because your opinion is that they are wrong doesn’t change reality.
When your foundation is built on fairy tales, anything goes.
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.
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
Anti-Christian is a good thing … better yet, anti-religion.
I dunno. Buddhism seems to be doing well. The Dali Lama doesn’t seem to advocate for this.
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.
In a class-based system like capitalism, the state (cops, courts, military, ICE, etc.) exists to maintain the rule of one class over another, in this case the capitalist class. American neo-liberalism has served the capitalists’ interests well for the last few decades, but it is no longer. They need to tighten their grip because they are losing ground economically (to China, specifically).
This is when you see every effort to divide (weaken) and repress the working masses. Minoritized people and leftists are the first to be repressed - they are easy targets because the capitalists and the media outlets spend billions propagandizing the working masses to turn against these groups. This is when you see right wing reaction - as we are seeing now, not just in the US, but in many of the capitalist countries that are allies with US imperialism. This is a cycle that keeps repeating in every capitalist crisis.
It is in the interests of the whole working class - internationally - to recognize this tactic used to divide the working masses (which will lead to even lower quality of life for all) and to instead stand up against this repression and to defend people on the receiving end of US Imperialist aggression, whether this be workers, minorities, and/or countries (Iran, Cuba, etc.).
Me to every self-identified LGBTQ+ person shitting on Biden/Harris in 2024:
Me now:
Yeah, sucks that the dnc decided the genocide of the Palestinian population, frac mining and also cracking down on immigration and funding ICE was more important than massive LGBT rights overhaul and universal healthcare overhaul. Damn lgbt leftists having morals !!! Maybe in 2026 Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris could capitulate MORE to the right, the same people they (rightfully) call fascists! Where can we bring Liz Cheney this time? Bring Bush Jr too!!!

Explain to me why I should vote for politicians sending billions to Israel, a genocidal country, when our country and our sovereign rights are literally eroding at home. I’ll wait. I vote for democrats every chance I get. Midterms and all.
Tell me, when I see the governor of my state running for VP (A man who’s campaign I supported btw) and he says on TV that he’ll “preemptively strike Iran” and his running mate, the current vice president of the country, saying we need to have the “strongest military force in the world” I’m supposed to support that? While democrats fund a genocide? Forget being worse in Gaza than Biden, Biden and his admin still destroyed the city and laughed about it to voters. They killed tens of thousands.
You really think young voters see that, see them touting around fucking DICK CHENEYS DAUGHTER, the Cheney family being one of the most evil families in my lifetime (look up the Wikipedia page for Halliburton Oil Company to get a start).
Seriously I have no interest in the “lesser evils” because everyone is lesser evil than Trump. That’s the most obvious to everyone but fascists. You can’t convince me that Imperial exploitation and genocide and war is ok if it’s not Trump in office doing it. Insult me all you want, doesn’t change reality.
I am a queer person and I know lots of queer people too and I will block you if you try to say anything gross about Palestine and LGBT rights. I’ve had enough of that and I don’t engage with it anymore
All I hear is you justifying why trump needed to win so that you could follow your morals.
Typical, that is very obviously not what I want. I want people to have free health care, free education and more. Show me where Trump wants that.
Show me how standing your ground prevented him from being elected.
What do you mean standing my ground? The state I live in is one of the only places where voting for democrats locally is actually worth it! How is it my fault as a single voter?! I already voted for them!!

That is legitimately the message they take when they lose elections. Clearly, America is a conservative country.
Yes both parties are shit, but they used to be a regular bucket of shit and a large bucket of shit so you could vote for a third party to avoid the shit knowing at worst you’d only get a large bucket of shit.
Now our options are a large bucket of shit and a mountain of shit, and you should vote to avoid the mountain of shit not to avoid all shit because even a large bucket of shit is more palatable than a mountain.
My point is that voting is the very very beginning of your political responsibility as a leftist. There is a lot more to do. And no I don’t mean financially support, I mean organization and community outreach. This should really be seen as something you do first and regardless of who is president. Donate money to your local food shelf if you can, & I mean every month.
Also don’t take what I say too seriously I’m just one guy, I just get annoyed when people bring up establishment democrats and act like if they were president all this would be better. My only gripe is with that rhetoric. You should be doing way more than voting. Like, yesterday.
Yet again, the side that screams FREEDOM only wants to take everyone else’s away.
For them it’s “freedom to,” not “freedom from.” As in, free to exploit, free to abuse, free to dominate instead of freedom from exploiters, freedom from abusers, or freedom from domination.
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 they think is 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.
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
I’m a communist and I’m damn well speaking out. Y’all gonna let me burn, or are we going to stand up and fight back before we get to that point this time?
I’ll bet that Lindsey Graham (“Mee-maws little warmonger”) is secretly conflicted right now.
So it is one nation under Christianity. Hmph.
As an antitheist, I’m fine with religion, as long as it’s only ever inflicted upon those who have made an individual conscious, non-coercive choice to be subjected to its doctrine.
The moment it’s used to justify inflicting anything upon someone without their consent, it needs to be locked in an air-tight canister, with viewing windows, to serve as entertainment, and a warning to other vacuous ideologies.
How is it religion’s fault for politics using it?
Politics couldn’t use religion in this way if it wasn’t normalised and tolerated to force it on those who don’t share their beliefs.
Who normalised forcing religion on non believers? Rulers or religions? I don’t recall Jesus or Krishna asking for that.
This is what America voted for, because that scary brown lady was just too ARROGANT.
Wait until there’s no more naked people on the teeveez, and only three-two beer at your local store. The average American commuter will blame Democrats.
This is what America voted for, because that scary brown lady was just too ARROGANT.
It’s fair, but lets not forget the tom foolery that happened with Biden after the first debate. Add to that the religious zeal tRump’s base puts out for him.
Biden should have stepped aside after 1 term like he promised (he really seemed decrepit) and let Harris hit the ground with good running space to seperate herself from Biden while also being able to patch up after a performance like she put on in the second debate.
It’s almost as if the Dems are purposely inept when it matters most. Oh wait…
I’d rather have a dysfunctional government than a malicious government.
