So then why does she have a job right now?

[–] solrize@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Wait for the backpedaling when she finds out God is female.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Look, I understand that might be your kink, but leave that shit in your house lady and stop trying to make other people be part of your kink.

Cunt.

"Look, the head of my household is my husband, Jonathan King. Period," she noted. "If there's ever a time that a decision has to be made and we don't agree on something, he's the head."

He thinks you should lose a finger for daring to read.

THIS? Coming from a woman?

Found the low self esteem.

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Is this the prosperity gospel person? I wouldn't take advice on Christianity from an antichrist-ian. You cannot serve Jesus and mamon. Anyone following trump is serving mamon.

Personally I want my wife to dominate me. Submitting is what she wants but only in the bedroom. So while I have to live in this opposite world of dominating her in private time and she gets to run the house. I'm cool with it.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Don't push your kink on me, lady.

"I'm up here working on the initiatives for President Trump, who's been in ministry for 40 years and understands it," she insisted.

This woman is interpreting the Xian god's intent? Heresy!

This lady has been divorced twice.

Not that I otherwise care. Do what you want with your life and relationships - life is complex and difficult at times. Not every relationship works out, sadly.

But for a twice-divorced lady to tell women to “submit to men,” it sounds like she herself has a problem keeping her trap shut and submitting to a man. The hypocrisy is so thick here you can cut it with a knife.

Rules for thee but not for me.

Stop making your bedroom play everyone else' problem. If you want to be a submissive in a consensual bdsm dynamic you do you but leave everyone else who doesn't want to participate out of it

This feels like kink shaming, women can be doms too.

Lol I just said the opposite and I scroll down to this.

Other point of view.

"White House Faith Office", that sounds like someone is pushing the "Faith" branch of their current Frostpunk playthrough a bit too far. Next up are the "Faith keepers". Ugh.

Sounds like she shouldn't have gotten divorced three times if she gave a fuck what Jesus said.

But the prosperity gospel types know they're scammers, so she'll laugh all the way to the bank.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 month ago

She was laughing AT the bank too, I saw her.

[–] kitmayfield@lemmy.world 41 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Why is there even a faith office? gtfooh

[–] FirstCircle@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 month ago

Because the "Heritage" foundation paid for it, and they're a bunch of Xian Fundies. Project 2025 (which Trump knows absolutely nothing about, he says so himself) is their baby.

women must 'submit' to men

Does that include trans women? 😜

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

All right, then go fuck off to a cave and live out your miserable existence away from society

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 241 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Excellent since you must submit to me. I command you to stop telling women to do this.

wish I could spit in the face of every fucking idiot who feels the urge to spread Christianity in any way. keep that idiotic bullshit tf from my life, you're all clowns and actors

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca -3 points 1 month ago (13 children)

Feel free to spit in my face then.

I’d argue that what these people are spreading is about as close to Christianity as Trump’s sharpie hurricane map is to an actual hurricane though; damaging and ignorant by misleading people.

As an example, they say God orders women to submit to their husbands. They get that from a letter Paul of Tarsus wrote to a group of early Christians in response to the way a particular group of (uneducated, likely trophy) wives were behaving that wasn’t in line with Jesus’ teachings to put others before themselves, because they misunderstood the bit about Jesus being an ultimate sacrifice that freed people from Jewish law to mean that you could behave however you wanted, and all would be forgiven. Paul told them that’s not how things work, and to ask their (likely educated in Jewish law) husbands to explain it to them at home instead of disrupting public meetings by preaching junk like this.

Unfortunately, a lot if what the public sees of Christianity in the US is remixes of exactly the same things the Bible these people own directly instructs against.

Jesus was a socialist pacifist. These people attempt to re-make him in their own image, taking instructions from his immediate followers out of context to justify their behavior, totally ignoring actual direct commands like “love your enemies and do good to those who hate you.”

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 22 points 1 month ago

I don't disagree with you that these people are taking a message that seems inconsistent with the biblical portrayal of Jesus. But the above comment was criticising people "who feel the urge to spread Christianity in any way". Which, yeah. Fuck them. If someone wants to do their research and convert to Christianity because they like it, more power to them.

But introducing children to that nonsense (by which I mean belief in resurrections and other obviously ridiculous bullshit, even if it's not directly used to cause tangible harm) as though it's fact at a vulnerable young age should be considered child abuse. And preying on vulnerable lonely or depressed people and using highly manipulative tactics like love bombing the way many evangelical branches of Christianity do, as do Mormons and I believe Jehovah's Witnesses, should also be considered abusive behaviour.

It's counterproductive, even for the ones that once thought it was a way to improve society. They are just being used, and should reconsider if they are doing more harm than good.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 12 points 1 month ago

They are just being used, and should reconsider

Reconsider?! Whoa there. That's too much like thinkin' which is the devil's work.

Someone tell her to go read 1 Timothy 2:12

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 119 points 1 month ago

If anybody wants a reason religion needs to die look no further than subjugation of half our population for religion to exist.
