  • I’m fully aware that Trump, whoever replaced that as bovino and the others want this, yes.

    And yes, the moment that happens it’s gonna be uglier.

    And yes. It’s still going to happen regardless of how I think or don’t think about it (which you clearly made a faulty assumption.)

    Because there’s also already assholes taking advantage, getting the gear and using it to get away with crimes. Things like rape.

    But the administration aren’t the boots on the ground. Hopefully one of them isn’t as stupid as they all seem. It never works out well for the bait.








  • Honestly, the more liberal you go as a Christian, the more you have to struggle with cognitive dissonance.

    I doubt very much that a historical Jesus would have been cool with lgbtq, women that weren’t property, and being told that slavery is uncool.

    First off, despite what a lot of people claim, Jesus was a fundamentalist of sorts pushing to return to the strict laws of Moses. He wasn’t progressive, and that includes laws like stoning women for not crying out as they’re raped. But also, if the girl weren’t betrothed she’d be forced to marry her rapist and had no chance to leave them. All the rapist would be punished with is paying for the goods- “you break it you buy it” mentality.

    Second off, he was running around the ass end of the boondocks faking miracles and grifting the ever living shit out id them. He’s as big a con artist as Trump.

    All this to say, when you have to start trimming the book of all the awful shit, you eventually start to look at the Swiss cheese of paper and go “why should I?” (And we can add the early church fathers for the Catholics)







  • So back in 2016, I tried this thing to explain why Trump was so unpresidential.

    I found a picture of him, on stage, wearing tan suit pants.

    I pixelated the lower half of his body. Showed it to my very-Christian aunt. she freaked out about him not wearing pants and how it was wrong of me, how it was an attack on him, how it was out of context. Everything except “hang on a second! That never happened!”

    People started talking about what context was it appropriate to be pantless on stage, etc.

    Which was my entire point. It never happened, but he is such a fucking creep she didn’t think twice about it. No one even questioned that he was letting it all hang out.

    The “well, here’s the thing…” didn’t go over too well.
