No end to the stupid things US politicians will spend money on.
To be clear, this is a cristofascist Republican politician doing this.
That's the crazy thing, there's too many of them. It also sits in a very stark contrast to what I learned about the requirement to cover up other people's flaws and sins.
It is neither permissible to spy on the Muslims nor to reveal their faults because Allah says (what means): {And do not spy.} [Quran 49:12]. I'm not well versed in Christianity but shouldn't snitching be a sin in itself?
Pretty sure this would fall under the several parables in Christianity where Jesus or God basically tells people that exacting judgement for biblical sin is the domain and privilege of God alone and that it's not the job of people to act on it.
But if Christians didn't get pushback for being terrible to people they wouldn't feel persecuted and they all want to suffer somehow to feel like they are Christ-like themselves. The Bible is very much written from the perspective of having it's work cut out to be radical upheaval of the status quo. I don't think there was much thought that they would basically recreate the structures they were fighting against by becoming economically as powerful as nobility. When you really start digging everything from the expectation of extreme celebacy to the idea that giving money to the church is a virtue that should be rewarded with respect and prestige in the church isn't Jesus... It's Paul. The notoriously power hungry guy who who fell off a horse, hit his head on a rock and hallucinated Jesus.
Without Paul there is no Christianity. The James community got wiped out. What's more without Paul there is no Bible either.
27 books and 13 attributed to him alone. Of the remaining only 5 are popularly referenced. Of those five 1 is Jesus recast in the mold of Paul (Mark) and the other is about the merry adventures of Paul. Since John copied Luke, Luke copied Matthew, and Matthew copied Mark even the parts about Jesus aren't really about him.
You don't know what Jesus really said, you can't even confirm the man existed.
Here is the truth and I am sorry it hurts. Your god is made in your image. The Jesus you like tells us a lot about you and nothing about what really happened. If you are a SJW type then Jesus is one, if you are an authority type than Jesus is one as well, revolutionary, closeted homosexual, enlightened being who knows about aliens, into peace, into diversity, into charity, into institution building... There are as many Jesus' as there are people who worship him. The greatest Rorschach test ever made.

It doesn't matter what Christianity says. These piles of sub-human filth are just trying to keep America at its own throat so we focus on human rights issues instead of paying attention to the bills they actually care about.
This shit is all smoke and mirrors and at this point I don't think they're going to get the idea until the rest of us start acting real French

May the power of memes and the Internet trip the damn boomers.
This fuckin' boomer puke whut lives in Asswipe, IN approves.
I'm not gay right now but possibly when I retire I'm gonna retire as gay. This ruins all my gay plans! What's wrong with these guys? There's nothing wrong with two perfectly sound of mind adults loving each other mentally and physically. I think we just need a federal law to protect us all from religious nuts. The LGBTQ+A acknowledgement act of 2024? How about that? Need some bacon on it? Okay, in small writing it allows the invasion of Iran, and 3 trillion aid to Ukraine. Oh, and Republicans can own slaves now, but here's the catch, the slaves must be Republican originally and white and can only perform sex acts as slaves. If you own a slave you must carry said slave around with you at all times. Can that work? No? Ok if you're republican you can have sex with your own relatives given that your relatives are already Republican on their own and have down syndrome insurance paid for before the acts. Abortion will be fully illegal for any Republican male, punishable with removal of the balls or entire penile removal if it was outside of the Republican party. Also Republicans reserve the right to bare arms and run diesel engines within the confines of their garages... Preferably at the same time. Garages must be made bulletproof.
Glad to have alerted them to this very important situation developing in the city of Fuckhole, Indiana. o7
I haven't been able to check if they actually need a confirmation email or something..
You have to use more realistic names and shit so they waste time looking through them.

We gonna have to Stonewall all over again nationwide, aren't we?
I'm not gay myself, but the math is simple: is it human?...then it has human rights.
Well that's the thing, the haters don't think queers and non-white people are human.
And that is why we STOP DEFENDING THEIR FREE SPEECH
