@pastormarkburns@apostrophe_ua Yahweh was a storm god originally in a pantheon of other gods before the Babylonian exile exposed them to Zoroastrian monotheism. You’ve dedicated your life to a stupid ancient religion that’s just like all the other stupid religions.
@Jesse_Brenneman I feel like for the weirdo maga converts, Catholicism is like their “Roman empire.” Along with the alluring pageantry and hierarchy, I think a lot of them think of themselves as like this noble legacy of “unified [European] Christendom” against the evil “others.”
@Jesse_Brenneman I am fascinated too. I can def see what you’re saying, but I also as less influenced by mainline Protestantism and more so (like a lot of the far right) by charismatic/pentecostalist sects and those groups’ obsession with spiritual warfare, which creates a comf. evil/good binary

@comradesanchez Nah, but it’d be a big deal if the court says the agent doesn’t have immunity and/or did the act beyond the scope of his duties. Interestingly, the most famous of these cases involved states who prosecuted federal agents that “harmed” their precious white supremacist residents 🧐
DEMOCRATS YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS STRONG LANGUAGE OR SHOULD WE HAVE THE 15TH “HASAN HATES ISRAEL AND AMERICA WE CANT HAVE HIM AT OUR EVENTS” CONVO?!
@JonahDispatch 1) what a stupid thing to write about. 2) this is just what going to mass has been about for centuries - you flaunt your best clothes and look around for things to gossip about later, duh
