Something I’m confused about: if Republicans believe government policy should be based on Christian values, why are they against government programs helping the poor?
They believe in the bible/Christianity insofar that it affirms their preconceived notions.
They just believe in the most hateful parts they can cherrypick to fit their ideology. Putting women, gays, blacks and the non-believers in their place.

It’s really funny to me that all the “Christians” in government literally have none of the values Christ did. I’ll bet if I asked them what their favorite Bible verse was they couldn’t answer.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
-President Trump, just this year.
He never meant it. And all of the cons hate ACTUAL freedom. Meaning, the kind of freedom that includes freedom FROM religion. Not just the “freedom” to select from a set of talibangelical cults.
He didn’t even touch the Bible when he swore in this time. I doubt that means anything “legally speaking”, but I’m sure it meant something to him
Let’s just forget about the right to bear arms
Yeah! Let’s arm all the bears! My favorite one is the shotgun bear.
Some people like the Kodiak or Polar bears. Me, I like my Browning Bears with .50 BMG (Big Mean Grizzly)
That’s because Trump thinks that he is god
What the actual fuck.
There is this global retreat from rationality it seems.
Why do I need a church?Like we should listen to this asshole.
Yeah, let’s just ignore the First fucking Amendment and basically any freedom that actually matters. Go fuck yourself.
I will never forget.
I wonder if any of the dumbasses that are still supporting donvict yet understand what this would mean?
Log Cabin twats like Peter Thiel? These motherfuckers will come for YOU eventually, Einstein. Same for the likes of Tammy Bruce - an openly gay lesbian won’t be in a position of leadership, what kind of gawdly message is that going to send? The Libertarian dumbfuck techbros still underwriting this shit, that are also hard atheist? You too, motherfuckers! Fast talking fools like Ben Shapiro and Stephen Miller? You guys are Jewish! Are you kidding?
The loudmouth uppity women like Beetlebert and Marjorie Trailer Queen and Kristi “dog murderer” Noem and Karoline Leavitt? You too - the Babble bangers won’t be having YOU ruling over men, what are you even thinking? Best you can hope for is marrying some powerful man that keeps a roof over your head while he bangs some younger handmaidens to raise a crop of kids with his superior genes.
How about go fuck yourself.
As if the fucking Christian indoctrination wasn’t already bad enough here.
No. It’s the woke that was doing the indoctrination.
Now, against the wall so we can inspect your purity.
You haven’t seen anything yet. They’re trying to build their own Saudi Arabia.
There is hope that the backlash from this will be brutal. It will take half a generation to get here. But overall Christianity is not gaining more net followers, especially not the asshole flavors that so vocally seem to represent it.

Thank God for that.
A poor mans Dubai.
With just half of the cards and only one ugly male hooker called Krasnov.
It is not going to teach Christianity but to end it.
No gods, no masters.
What about kings and emperors?
Fuck no, not even wannabe ones like Turd.
What about kings and emperors?
Witcher 2 opening scene comes to mind. (time stamped)
No gods, no masters, no slaves.
No masters=no slaves. It’s self describing.
Fair point. I’ve only seen the phrase written as, “No masters, no slaves.”
The anarchist term is: no gods(atheism=free spiritually) no masters(no slavery=free in reality).
No gods, no masters" is a political slogan associated with anarchist and leftist labor movements, expressing a desire for freedom from both religious and secular authority. The phrase is a rejection of all forms of oppression and hierarchical structures, including those based on religion and power. Elaboration: Origin: The phrase “no gods, no masters” likely has roots in a 15th-century German proverb and gained prominence in the 1870s through a disciple of Auguste Blanqui. Meaning: It signifies a rejection of all forms of authority and control, including religious, political, and economic domination. Anarchist Context: The slogan is a core principle of anarchism, which advocates for a stateless society based on self-governance and voluntary cooperation. Leftist and Labor Movements: The phrase is also used by leftist and labor movements to express opposition to capitalist structures and to advocate for worker empowerment and social justice. Other Meanings: The phrase can also be used in a more general sense to express a desire for individual autonomy and freedom from external constraints.
Are we building an underwater city?
Yes!
Is this just a map link to all of Florida?
there’s a lot going on in this article, but this part in particular is… uhh … a really special form of religious virtue…
I wish had no scruples because then I could sell people angels for $1,000
I love how the most devout Christians are always always complete shitheads
Given the shitheads who’d actually buy that crap, I’d say this is one group of people to scam the shit out of without fear of compromising one’s scruples.
The people who buy that crap are victims. Uneducated by the state and propagandized into eternal fear by the media and religion.
They’re going to send their money off to scammers anyway. Might as well redirect it somewhere were it won’t be used by straight up evil people doing straight up evil shit.
I’m also not sure how much I believe in their “victim” status. I was raised in a conservative Southern Baptist household in Mississippi, and I figured out that stuff was bullshit after a few Sunday School sessions.
I figured out that church was bullshit at a young age too. I was raised in West Virginia in shitty schools. We were still victims, even though we had the luck of being born perceptive enough to limit our victimization. Imagine if all the wasted hours we spent in school and church, we were learning instead.
I had a science teacher in fifth grade who was a preacher as well. When we got to evolution all he had to say was “If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys, ever think about that?” He refused to teach the material. We skipped it.
Ugh, I had a biology teacher who was very similar. We briefly went through what the textbook had to say on evolution, then spent the next week or so watching stupid videos of this nutjob ranting about how current species with symbiotic relationships couldn’t have evolved separately or some drivel. Knowing what I know now about my rights as a student in a public school, I wish I could go back just for the opportunity to tell him I’d be doing my own independent study time in the library during his class periods while he was showing his blatantly illegal proselytizing propaganda.
It’s not just “no scruples”. Lots of people run these scams. Only a few of them succeed.
Easy to forget that Bush and Reagan also had these Faith Based Initiative and religious themed cabinet positions. And they were also primarily about funneling state money to religious demagogues. And then Clinton/Obama kept them around because they didn’t want to offend the religious extremists.
The large network of Crisis Intervention Centers that effectively exist to abuse young people with poor grades, substance abuse issues, and non-conforming gender/sexual preferences were all originally bankrolled by Reagan/Bush Era pilot programs and church kickbacks.
Also I remember Bush saying he talked to god and was chosen by god and blah blah blah
Only a matter of time until he declares himself Holy Roman Emperor. And silly me was under the impression, he’s trying to emulate an entirely different era of German history.
Leaning into grifting. Like always. He is just dipping into the Christian side of the grift.
I’m all for the separation of Trump’s head and body.
Is there such a thing as a slow guillotine? The slower the better…
Hydraulic press?
would it be more painful to very slowly crush you head, or like your torso? I understand that the with the torso it can last longer, however, as someone who has had head injuries, not much compares to the insane, and unique pain, of your skull getting bashed in.
You know those scissors of life that firefighters use?
Jaws of life are what we call them…
Rock paper scissors is so childish, upgrade to Boulder Book Jaws!
His would then float away, its full of air.
And genocidal Biden too
“Trump bad”
“But but but what about Biden???”
I hate Biden too but thats just unrelated
Which genocide?
Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday establishing a “religious liberty commission” at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate and present strategies to eliminate “threats to domestic religious liberty.” During his comments on the order, Trump said that he doesn’t know if there’s a separation of church and state and that we should “forget about that for one time.”
Words alone simply fail to adequately describe my disgust and rage at this travesty.
Time to get to work Satanic Temple.
They can only do work if the courts are actually following the law.
“Religious liberty commission”
For some reason as a Jewish person I get the strong feeling that this commission wont help me freely practice my religion.
Nor if you are a Muslim a Buddhist, a Mormon or a Catholic
Also, even though the deluded right wing like to claim that “secularism is a religion”, and same for liberalism or any other ism they are skeered of, they won’t be letting anyone practice those, either.
Meaning: free thought will be a thoughtcrime.
