    “Pro-Life” but they will execute oceans of lives, in their regime.

    I expect full-on human-sacrifice worship of Trump within 4y of his gaining dictatorship.

    ( there’s been continuous human-sacrifice-cult activity in the Americas, Central & northward, for about 11.7 millenia, ttbomk.

    This won’t be anything new: it’ll just be the same-old same-old getting blatent about it.

    I bet every one of you an imaginary-dime, right now, that the “uncanny valley” is going to be stark on Trump’s face, within 4y, to those who aren’t his worshippers.

    I don’t know if there’s a remind-me-bot thingy for lemmy, but if there is, & anybody wants to set a reminder, so you can prove me wrong, go for it.

    I think this bet of mine is certain.

    Shut up! I am better than you because my skin colour matches der Fuhrer. Der Fuhrer says that rich people are better! Der Fuhrer says God promotes him! All hail!

    Many claim that God speaks directly to them, often in dreams, and believe that Christians are called to wage a spiritual battle for control of the United States.

    These people are dangerous.

        I increasingly feel like religious indoctrination in childhood creates a kind of mental illness or disability by disrupting the development of critical thinking skills.

        This is not accidental. Many religious scholars have talked about the need to “instruct” children when they’re very young - by the age of three or four.

          I experienced this first hand and it was stunting, if not traumatic. I came to peace with myself for being atheist only in my 20s.

            I have trauma from this, but from the other end. So many stunted people trying to force insanity on me as if it were logic. For the longest time I thought I was crazy or broken for not being able to make some connection they were. Turns out, there’s no connections. Just gut feeling.

            My wife only got it a little firsthand because her family is evangelical, but her mother is one of the kindest, most accepting, most tolerant people I’ve ever met. Despite that, and despite being an atheist since she was a teenager, she still has dreams about going to hell in her mid-40s.

          Because it’s normalized gaslighting. If a kid isn’t encouraged to think critically and is told to ignore their own perception of the world, they learn to seek truth externally from themselves.

          Teaching children religion is child abuse. It happened to me and it was abuse. My parents didn’t realize it and I forgive them because they were abused by it too but we need to start calling it what it is.

        According to Genesis, man was made in god’s image. Archeologists have determined that the oldest humans were black. It would be more accurate for sure.

        How do paint a woman as transexual? Why would a being without what we can recognize as a physical body even need reassignment surgery?

        Or even Jesus as gay? Is he gonna be gulpin down glizzys? Because Rule 34 assures us that already exists.

        I think you’re a little lost in the weeds, bruv.

          If anything, republicans are perfectly represented by Jeezuz Jeezy if you will because he is a total asshole true and thru. Yeah, that’s right, Jesus Christ is an asshole. Last night for example a bunch of people died in Gaza and Ukraine, innocent, hungry people. And guess what? putin is still alive, Mr Yahoo is still alive. They probably had some of the best tasting grapes by licking them off virgins bodies yesterday while they were freely murdering. Where’s Jesus? Oh! It’s s mystery! Oh he’s using putin for a good cause. Bullshit! The Christian Church is pure bullshit.

        The Scathing Atheist podcast has been reading through the new testament lately with Jesus played as a sassy gay man.

    Is that really the quiet part anymore? The GOP being anti-choice and pro-matricide is pretty fucking obvious.

    The quiet part, for me at least, is being anti-democratic, anti-interracial marriages, and wanting to forcefully convert Americans to Christianity.

        Sorta? With both the last ones they’ve been open about discouraging it but our current Scotus seems to be chomping at the bit to kill Loving v Virginia and I’m sure they’re doing homework to try and kill separation of church and state.
