As someone who grew up going to churches that did this stuff: LOLOLOL
These people are nuts. And it’s this weird collective “we kind of know this is all bullshit right” but no one wants to actually question it so they go with it. Then I think people feel left out and start doing it themselves. But then there are the fucking actual lunatics who believe their own bullshit that think they are speaking the words of God or the holy Spirit.
They’ll even tell stories like “one time there was a Syrian lady at church and x started speaking in tongues and that Syrian lady said it was her language!!!” Which is obviously bullshit. And obviously a lie.
It’s wiiiiild.
It’s kind of terrifying to think that if a few things went differently maybe I’d be going to a church like that on Sundays.
Republiclown, they all have that look. Very considerate of them to have the look of trying to shit a brick and/or wearing a red hat dunce cap to let everyone know they’re “touched”.
As long as other religions and atheist get to hold events on the seal in fine with it… But I know they’ll Christian nationalist will cry oppression if that happens.
And “the” bible. According to their own text, they should be keeping this stuff in the closet. Why don’t they?
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
If they are going to be in this little book club, why don’t they follow it?
In preface, I think everyone can believe in whatever they want. Religion is simply a habit of congregational reverence over some kind of object. There is nothing inherently wrong with this fact. However, being a staunch atheist myself, the continued antonymic assimilation of church-and-state within government is proliferating regressive politics. Personally stated, any Nat-C in government (i.e. MTG, Flynn) is a drivelling baboon that should be put on trial for willful ignorance. Unfounded opinion will continue to rend apart any pragmatic governance until all that’s left is Their One God. This dangerous downward slope needs to end for the benefit of humanity as a whole, as well as our planet.
I’d hope no one would agree with my linked article, it was included specifically for it’s absurdity.
What is going on today isn’t about secularism vs Christianity. This is about group hate […]
While I don’t disagree with your sentiment, Christian denominations have played a historically definitive role in shaping the US’s government. Furthermore, a significant portion of US citizens want Christianity to influence government. A nice little cherry on top is that, since the Second Continental Congress in 1776, nearly every US president has opted to include the Christian bible and the phrase “so help me God” (both entirely optional) while being sworn into office.
This is one of the dipshits that pretended to be an elector for Arizona when Trump lost his state. Pretty sure his religion says something about bearing false witness.
This is why the second Poltergeist movies villian (evil preacher Kane) is so damned terrifying. Because you know these people exist in reality, and are just as evil as portrayed in the film.
I’m not even religious but Kenneth Copeland looks the fucking devil to me. I wouldn’t trust that on the street in the middle of the day, much less at night.
Beady little pale wet eyes sunken into overmoisturized and chemically-treated skin. Oily hair too dark for its age, perfect-but-just-real-enough-looking dental work so you know it’s real expensive.
Given the P in GOP, this thing probably drinks babies adrenochrome in pizza parlor basements.
