Extremist Christian fundamentalists in Hell still spouting that "imperfect vessel" bit about Trump.

I'm no theologian, but false god seems like a more accurate description than imperfect vessel regarding Trump's place in the religious universe.

Truer words have never been spoken: Christopher Hitchens on the context and bigger picture of this belief system and 'project' of illegal colonial invasion and settlement, and occupation, and ethnic cleansing of Palestine 🇵🇸 by Israel

I feel so bad for members of Abrahamic religions like Christianity, Islam, or Judaism who have to watch these crazy extremists groups (Evangelicals, JWs, Radical Islam, Zionist, etc.) from their religion soil everything for them

Like I can barely contain myself over radfems while being a cis woman

I cannot imagine what it would be like

Seeing this at first glance looking up local movies : Hehe , Jesus wants us to come out 🌈

3 seconds after research: WTF- It is a documovie about a far right- like at the Jan 6, anti vax , trump supporting, homphobic- preacher starting a new wave of Satanic Panic. The pastor , Greg Locke literally says in the trailer he knew names of witches in his congregation he then warned he will cast out the demons of?!?!

Steve Schmidt ... "This week, Arizona's Supreme Court upheld an 1864 law that bans abortion across the state. Women there and across the country can thank Donald Trump for putting religious extremists on the bench of the Supreme Court, leading to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and the eroding of abortion rights.

But it's not just Arizona facing this issue; other 19th century laws are being reinstated across the country to crackdown on rights against women's bodies. Steve explains why male politicians would never stand for this and suggests how people can fix this GOP problem in the November election,"

A New Day

Deep breath.  Tryin’ to do better. Frustrated that some of the Times’ columns are off limits to non-subscribers.  I’ll test the waters for education’s sake: “In 2024, it’s not the economy. It’s the democracy. It’s the decency. It’s the truth. I’m not talking about what will influence voters most. I’m talking about what should.” From Frank Bruni’s opinion column in the New York Times…

If you had told me extreme Christians and extreme Muslims would gather together for one common goal... Now, this is something people who do not live in French-speaking countries probably won't heard about, but very recently eight schools were burned in Belgium. These attacks, signed with "No EVRAS" inscriptions, are obviously the work of a gathering protest movement that has been forming itself in Belgium recently, gathering Christian extremists AND Muslim extremists.

And it is all of course linked to conspiracionist groups! You see, "EVRAS" is the name of a school-program in Belgium dedicated to creation classes and lessons about sex, sexuality and human reproduction in schools. Two such sex education classes are planned - a first for kids around 11-12 years old, another for teens around 15-16 years old. These are just your regular sex education classes, where you learn about how babies are made, how genital organs function, stuff like that.

But of course, social media and Internet-based conspiracy theorists immediately jumped onto the program, and gave birth to lots of vile rumors that were picked up by these two extremist groups - Christian (of the Catholic branch) and Muslims (I couldn't find what branch of Islam though). These rumors that prompted Christian and Muslim protesters to gather in the streets brandishing signs saying "Let's protect the innocence of our children" and stuff like that.

Rumors that have basically all the accusations you can throw at sex education classes and that have been thrown for decades now. "They show our children pornographic movies in school!" "Teachers masturbate themselves in front of children!" "They force children to masturbate!" "This program was put in place by paedophiles to groom our children" "They are pushing an homosexual agenda to turn all our kids homosexual", etc, etc...

And now, this resulted in eight schools being attacked and burned, with written on the untouched walls "NO EVRAS", so that the burners would make it clear why they destroyed the buildings.

"Those who hate religion are just as bad as those who abuse their faith for the sake of self-righteousness."

I'm so sick of atheists who think they're better than everyone, they are literally just as annoying as the religious obsessed. We need balance. Faith isn't supposed to be commercialized (that's blasphemy) but having none doesn't make anymore smarter or cooler than anyone else.

malala yousafzai trending on tumblr makes me remember how people accused her of being anti-palestinian because she *checks notes* called for a ceasefire and sympathized with israeli and palestinian children caught in the war.
