@haymes_joshua That isn’t happening, of course, but it is interesting that you had the source material for your meme because of the real actions of your chosen superstition when its followers had political power.
Inquisition. Witch trials. Torture is Christian.
@MollyJongFast La. Legislature: “Guys, our citizens are poor, crime is high and we have to make tough decisions and do the right thing to help our most vulnerable citizens.”
Guy in back: “Or…we could slap up a poster.”
Legislature: “Brilliant!!1!”
@smashbaals I don’t care what superstition you subscribe to at home. What I DO care about is your particular cult trying to take away MY freedoms because of what YOUR chosen book of fairytales claims. I don’t hate your imaginary friend; I insist you don’t make me play with him.
@catturd2 Celebrities who dislike my politics are bad and should remain silent! Celebrities who like my politics are good and we should hear from them!
@smashbaals Or, just spitballing here, we could have a nation that doesn’t honor any fictional being but keeps being free so you can choose to, or not.
@darwintojesus None of it is real. No gods, no devils, no spirits. This Life is real and religion/mysticism takes focus away from the reality of making life better for ourselves and others in hope of some “spiritual” reward.
@pledgerbrb@darwintojesus How is evidence “arbitrary and unhelpful?” We require evidence for virtually everything in life but god gets a pass? Your statements don’t make sense.
@AmiriKing Because what he said was monstrous and led to the grieving parents of slaughtered children being harassed by idiots! Actions have consequences.
@smashbaals If Jesus existed, he was one of many zealots who claimed to be a king of the Jews and was put to death for it by the Romans. He wasn’t unique and there is no evidence of any resurrection. Oh, and you made that date up.
@atensnut These liberals are ruining Hollywood!!1! Let’s watch top-notch actors like <checks notes> uh, Scott Baio and…well, the Hercules guy, I guess?
@TheRhetorRick Christians want to condemn “your” sin, never their own. They don’t want to talk about adultery, greed, hate or gluttony because they engage in those. Hell, their favorite politician is the poster child for those!
@wendelltalks You can’t change the mind of someone who announces ahead of time that their mind won’t be changed. Talking snakes and zombies are the myths you have chosen.
@wendelltalks You admit that you will not accept any science that disagrees with the holy babble. So you are simply disingenuous to say that it’s somehow science’s fault. Lying is an essential part of fundamentalist religion.
