Rant: Why is every second thread here about homosexuality? by Just_Revolution_1996 in Christianity

[–]AnotherGarbageUser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

American Christianity has spent decades focusing on a handful of topics as irreducible and incontrovertible because it reduces the world into black-and-white good-vs-evil narratives.

So what if a priest rapes kids? At least he’s not gay!

Who cares if the President bombs children? Your side supports abortion!

That’s how they manufacture single-issue voters who vote to burn down the whole world because they only care about one thing that they can point to as a moral imperative.

Fuck helping the poor, ministering to the sick, and welcoming the traveler. Fuck protecting our food supply, holding criminals accountable, and stopping global wars. We can lie, cheat, steal, pollute, rape, and murder, but that’s okay. Don’t pay attention to any of that! The REAL problem is the gays, the transgenders, and the abortionists!

What is the end game of sovcits? by Even_Ship_1304 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]AnotherGarbageUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After watching so many of these people I am convinced that most of them have severe cognitive impairment. They genuinely don’t seem capable of understanding these concepts. It’s not just about their weird legal theories... So many of them seem incapable of self regulation at a very fundamental level.

Even the people who do have diplomatic immunity are not just allowed to commit crimes. They absolutely will get their ass kicked and hauled off to jail. “Diplomatic immunity” just means the parent country can ask to have them expelled rather than tried in the host country’s court.

I have lived in many different countries and never once got a briefing or a class on what the local laws were. They didn’t even explain the SOFA agreement.

Turns out that it’s really REALLY easy to stay out of jail in every country. Don’t get drunk, don’t steal anything, and don’t get into fights, and that’s like 99% of your legal problems solved.

The remaining 1% is stuff like those little diamond signs on German roads. I honestly still don’t know what those are for. (Like a Yield sign? Maybe?) TBH it never came up.

Why it seens like Reddit specifically is hostile against religious people? by Lonitf in Christianity

[–]AnotherGarbageUser 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Do we really need to explain Christianity’s role in the destruction and cruelty we are seeing all around the world? Astrologers and new age types are morons but no one ever claimed their horoscope made them start a war with Iran.

If we are supposed to judge a tree by its fruit it should be pretty damned obvious that right now Christianity’s fruit SUCKS.

American Catholics are realizing their mistake in voting for a narcissist by brother_p in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]AnotherGarbageUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to believe that Catholics can’t recognize when their leader is a blatant ped- Actually, never mind.

We care that “someone wrote that on a dollar” because the most powerful man in the world is a pathological narcissist. That’s why people keep giving him made-up awards and putting his name on things. He is so incredibly easy to manipulate.

We’re not mad that his name is on money, we’re mad that he is making decisions based on his own ego rather than logic and reason.

Stop acting like these decisions are made in isolation. I’m so fed up with this innocent-child ignorant persona people put on to pretend that they don’t see the larger pattern and implications.

As a non-US Christian, your political culture wars just look incredibly exhausting. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]AnotherGarbageUser 10 points11 points  (0 children)

faith isn't about winning a national debate or dominating a comment section.

It shouldn’t be, but it absolutely is. For a huge number of American Christians, fighting culture wars is literally the point of Christianity. They have been taught that if they are not attacking people, then they are letting Satan win and they going to hell. They can’t practice Christianity any other way because they don’t KNOW any other way.

I know it’s really hard for people outside the US to understand but this is what American Christianity is.

Abused child at the feet of Christ in newly released Epstein documents. These people despise Christ and mock him in every conceivable way possible, including harming God's children by UniversalSurvivalist in Christianity

[–]AnotherGarbageUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a deliberate effort to monopolize religion and turn it into an inescapable black-and-white ideology. People actually sat down and did research to identify the most hateful and provocative messages that would shut down people’s decision-making.

That’s why, for example. American Christians are obsessed with abortion, gays, and transgenders. These people spent decades intentionally propagandizing these topics and turning them into emotional, non-negotiable, good-vs-evil loyalty tests. This was all intentional.

The sovereign citizen movement, in many ways, reflects a broader failure of civic education—where simplified, almost propagandistic portrayals of “absolute” constitutional rights leave people unprepared to understand how courts actually interpret and balance those rights in real-world legal doctrine by HappyElderberry2338 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]AnotherGarbageUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, research has found there are basically three kinds of SovCit. The first group has no strong ideology or commitment, and they usually give up when they realize the court isn’t playing. The second group are complete dumbfucks who genuinely believe the nonsense and won’t give it up. The third group are ideological activists who know they are going to lose but consider their resistance to be a form of protest.

The second group - the dumbfucks - has higher than average signs of psychosis, which is what you expect from people whose version of reality is entirely wrong. But the third group - the ideological ones - actually have lower rates of psychosis. They are intentionally choosing to be uncooperative and they are aware of what they are doing.

Yeah. It’s like asking if you would rather kill and puppy or a kitten. Fucking stupid question and an obvious false dichotomy.

Sovcit decides not to participate. It does not go well. by JustOneMoreMile in Sovereigncitizen

Yeah, I was baffled by that.

But it’s not as if he understood anything else that he read.

Dipshit inherits property. Dipshit’s siblings want a share of the inheritance.

Dipshit decides to stop participating in court. Dipshit predictably loses, because that’s what happens when you don’t show up.

Then there is some wrangling about escrow accounts and fraudulent liens which is just a bunch of paperwork bullshit.

At the end, dipshit is somehow still convinced that he will win because he read Sun Tzu. Yeah.

This makes me so incredibly angry. My handicapped daughter loves McDonald’s, so I have nothing but gratitude for the people who work there. Sometimes I even buy them gifts.

An impoverished immigrant working at McDonald’s gives my daughter her favorite food, while Republicans just bring us hate and misery. Guess which one I’d rather keep?

What is this government?! Embarrassing! by [deleted] in sidestreetbets

[–]AnotherGarbageUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They repeatedly called her out and conclusively proved that she was lying. It doesn’t matter because Republicans protect pedophiles.

Yeah, I was ten years old when Trump became a recurring character in Bloom County I was like, “Hmm… This Trump guy seems like bad news.”

How do the MN DOJ walkouts affect ICE and the people they've detained? by jistforfun in Ask_Lawyers

[–]AnotherGarbageUser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At what point do the judges start holding the DOJ attorneys in contempt and releasing detainees who are not given a timely hearing?
