    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.

      If there is some god… I hope hell is a place reserved for this people…

      before their own painfull death… I hope they suffer, they have to watch all their beloved people, siblings and offspring die horrible painfull deaths and everyone they hold dear suffer, suffer and suffer… until they die as the oldest humans in ages, bound in a catatonic state for decades and I will gleefully keep the machines running that keep them alive!

      And people wonder why I despise all religious institutions, no matter the flavour of their business selling people an empty shell they named hope.

        no other way does exist. Those no kings protests were nice and all but what exactly even remotely, slightly, changed? nothing. they trucked ahead like they will continue to do.

        Democrat politicians will continue to chirp on twitter and make awesome tiktok vids but that’s all it is at the end of the day, talk. I can only watch so many committee hearings and just know “why am I wasting my time watching this? it’s just a dog and pony show and nothing will come of it.”

        Look I admire AOC and Bernie and the rest of them but peaceful protesting is just going to paint a target on their backs for when they come for them and make no mistake, they will.

        I just think Americans should “make it harder” for when the nazi’s eventually do come knocking.

    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

    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

        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.

      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.

      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.

        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.

            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.

            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.

      As a trans army veteran, this shit is so infuriating and exhausting to me it’s almost fucking surreal.

      We have pedophilic draft dodgers running our government into the ground, anti-social robber barons throwing gasoline on the cultural firestorm with social media algorithms, ICE agents disappearing asylum seekers to be tortured in foreign lands without due process, speakers and representatives bringing nothing but bullshit excuses or outright lies to the table, which of course has our country’s reputation stewing in a trailer park septic tank…

      … Meanwhile these insane religious sects are ignoring all of that and hyperfixating on queer people accusing US of pedophilia and calling for our deaths… while they themselves are participating in pedophile rings that often slaughter children once they age out of being attractive to kiddy fuckers.

      What kind of “society” are we trying to make here exactly?

      At some point the people with empathy have to do violence on the people without.

      We outnumber them. Don’t base it on online. Base it on in person. Online is OVERRUN with bots and trolls. It’s not fucking real. It’s a big fucking lie to scare you into giving up.

      Don’t.

        The people screaming “LGBTQ people are coming for your kids!” are actually the ones coming for your kids.

          Its all repression and projection.

          They accuse everyone of being pedophiles, because they are pedophiles. (Which makes you wonder where their child rape dungeon they actually have is located, considering how obsessed they were with the idea in “pizzagate”)

          They spew vicious hate on gays, cause an overwhelming chunk of them are gay and hate the fact that others can live free and open while they “have” to live suppressed, repressed and in the closet to keep their ideology… Doesnt stop them from soliciting bathroom BJ’s, Frequenting RentBoys, and watching tons of Gay porn though…

    meanwhile, my family: “just don’t be gay for the next 3 and a half years, we don’t need to leave”

    … Right, I’m sure they definitely leave office as scheduled and I’m sure with how quickly things are progressing I’ll still be around to see them do so. Yep. Definitely. 👍

    Why single out gays? It also says to kill adulterers, stubborn children, women who aren’t virgins when they marry, people who work on the Sabbath, and mediums who talk to the dead.

    ws:Bible (King James)/Leviticus#Chapter 20

    12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

    13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

    14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

    It says nothing about women who have sex with women, or men having sex with men while in a standing (or perhaps seated) position. Also, Leviticus doesn’t use the word “homosexual” or “homosexuality” much less condemn it.

    This fake-preacher lies about what the Bible says.
