Check this shit out. Sex and gender are not cut-and-dry, they’re words we came up with. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34290981

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but isn’t that image suggesting we should all vote against fascism so it doesn’t happen again?

You denied the evidence. Fuck you for choosing death for everybody.

Stop defending the deadly slop machines, dummy. Your idiocy hurts everybody.

Which is more efficient?

“Let software tell me what I should do, then verify for myself whether I should do it.”

Or:

“Verify for myself what I should do.”

PLEASE stop outsourcing your own thinking.

An LLM can parse all of them and tell you what their core values/goals are.

Or it will make shit up, as they’re known to do. Fuck off with this shit. Outsourcing your own thinking is stupid, cowardly, and deadly for everybody.

Boomers in a nutshell, sacrificing their children to the cult of stupid greed.

“It’s torture that as her mom and as her family, we could not protect Renee,” the mother testified, clearly emotional. “But no one can protect against others who are determined to disregard our country’s constitutional rules and values.”

Cowardly bigot.

We vote differently, but we love each other deeply. I’m a registered Republican. I voted for President Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the United States — innocents like our family and the others here — against terrorists, certainly not to accuse those here of being terrorists and take precious lives.

Immigration is not a crime. You got exactly what you voted for, dumbass. They were always going to kill innocent people. They will continue killing innocent people.

After all, what punishment did her killer face?

The 37-year-old Good, not a target of ICE but rather an activist partially blocking a roadway in Minneapolis, was shot four times by Jonathan Ross, who has since transferred states and resumed his duties.

None at all, it’s a shameless terrorist organization. Abolish ICE.

Yeah. I think I meant that I hate how many christians will apply the “no true scotsman” fallacy, pretending other interpretations are wrong and theirs is the right one when there is no right way to believe in something that doesn’t exist. Everyone has their own headcanon out of necessity because there is no way to verify the contradictory claims made about christ.

A Christian is, by definition, someone who believes in the divinity of Jesus Christ

I spent hours debating someone who could not acknowledge this. I kept trying to point out that the entire notion of christ is built on the idea that an abusive god demands blood sacrifice, and they kept insisting christians can believe whatever they want.

They said the christian bible is one of many different christian texts, which is true, but they refused to acknowledge that most christians find that text in particular very important. It’s why it’s known as “the christian bible,” and the best-selling book of all time.

They said not all christians believe Jesus is god, and they cited catholicism as an example, to which I brought up the Nicene creed and quotes from the pope. If one believes Jesus is christ, why would one reject what Jesus supposedly said about being the son and the father? What sense does a savior, messiah, christ make without the threat of punishment to save us from?

My position is that because there is no such thing as a real christ, there is no such thing as a real christian. Every one is a fake christian. They each interpret Jesus differently because no one today actually knows what he was like, and the accounts we have of his life contradict each other. The label has become so meaningless, I have no idea what someone actually believes when they say they are christian, but I know they are not thinking critically.

I think you’re right, though. I wouldn’t say a theist is a fake theist, I would say there’s no reason to believe in god. I guess I should take the same approach when it comes to christ. I just wish I could splash cold water on humanity’s face. Too many christians break out the “no true scotsman” fallacy when another christian disagrees with them or does something they don’t like, failing to recognize that their own baseless views can be just as harmful, failing to recognize that they’re normalizing the exact magical thinking they’re criticizing. I want humans to stop playing make-believe when our lives are at stake.

a real Christian

I wish this myth would die. There are no real christians. There is no real christ. The concept of christ is, “an abusive god sacrificed himself to save us from the violence he’ll inflict on us if we don’t submit completely to his vague and contradictory commands, which include owning slaves and selling women to their rapists.”

Accountability is impossible when we tolerate magical thinking. Innocent people are dying for it.

Idk about Texas specifically, but it seems there is a federal law, 18 U.S.C. § 597.

Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and

Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

It kind of fails to account for the idea that someone rich enough to buy votes might not mind a fine. “Cost of doing business.”

Yeah.

Someone called him insane.

Was it a judge? Was it a ruling? No?

WE ALL KNOW HE’S INSANE, WHEN IS HE GOING TO FACE ACTUAL CONSEQUENCES?

Dog whistle? It’s a megaphone… “WE ARE NAZIS COME BE NAZIS WITH US”

Friggin’ spawn camper.

The pro-birth anti-life crowd claims another victim.

Kinda…

Matthew 8:

Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

Matthew 9:

But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

Mark 5:

And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

Mark 11:

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

Luke 17:

And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

It’s no wonder many bible believers come away thinking all they need is faith and prayers.

And hey, what if sickness and death are good things, actually?

Romans 5:

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope

Romans 8:

But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

And:

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

2 Corinthians 4:

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

That is how we get here: https://www.texastribune.org/2025/03/20/texas-measles-family-gaines-county-death/

“It was her time on Earth,” the translator said the parents told her. “They believe she’s better off where she is now.”

It’s murder. The abrahamic faiths are death cults. Any religion with a happy afterlife devalues real life. “It’s okay, they went home to god.” No, they’re dead and gone forever, and it was completely unnecessary.

YES! Thank you for calling that out. It is so frustrating. Submitting completely to arbitrary authority is not moral. It’s one way we get people proudly advocating for homophobia, rape, genocide, and more.

Human morality is something we evolved to help us survive. It changes with us, as our circumstances change. IMO, using baseless claims about supernatural punishments and rewards to manipulate people into harming themselves and others is insanely immoral. That ain’t love.

I am staggered by the amount of grown adults who take the bible seriously. It’s deadly, stupid nonsense.

I was raised south baptist. We sang “father Abraham… had many sons… Many sons had father Abraham…”

More recently I read some of Genesis for myself. Father Abraham’s wife could not conceive, so he raped her slave instead. The slave ran away. God sent an angel to tell the slave to return to Abraham and have his rape baby, which she did.

It’s not the only time rape is condoned in the bible. Horrible book.

The abrahamic faiths are death cults. Vance and others believe that slaughtering their enemies (and any collateral damage done) is god’s will.
