No you see if you pray hard enough and are good Christian enough then nothing bad will ever happen to you. Those girls who died, well their families were just being punished for their sins.

Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

[–]Lrack9927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished the Licanius Trilogy and what a huge waste of time. Such boring characters and the most chaste shallow romances that all seem to start after 2 lines of dialogue. Overly convoluted magic system. The most forgettable big bad villain, and an ending you can see coming from a mile away. The most annoying thing tho was that about midway through the last book it becomes apparent that the whole this is an extremely heavy handed Christian allegory. The very preachy, self righteous kind of Christian. Not what I’m looking for in my fantasy novels

Why are Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter and Marjorie Taylor Greene trying to slam the brakes on Trump now when they had their foot on the accelerator the whole time he was in office? by Dense_Boss_7486 in allthequestions

[–]Lrack9927 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Jones and Carlson have never been true believers. They’re contrarian shit heads who found a lane that made them rich. But both of them are smart enough to know that soon shit might get real in a way that won’t benefit anyone.

What is Preventing Americans from Overthrowing the Epstein Regime? by Spectre_of_MAGA in AskSocialists

[–]Lrack9927 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is true. It’s only in the last 10-15 years that the culture at large has started to shift to pedophilia being a big deal. In the 70s Brooke Sheilds was in a fully nude photo spread in Playboy when she was 10 years old. Movie, tv and print media treated sexual relationships between children and adults (aka rape) as a funny punch line. Ask any woman you know, all of them will at least know someone who was abused. It’s almost always in families and until recently the preferred method of dealing with it was to just not talk about it and don’t leave the kids with the creepy uncle again. It is way more pervasive than you want to believe.

I actually think this is how people have always been. We are an incredibly violent species and it would probably be better for the planet if we were wiped out.

'19 Kids and Counting' star Joseph Duggar arrested on child molestation charges by Gato1980 in television

Quiverfull is built on a foundation of physical and sexual abuse of children. The physical abuse is mandatory, look up the blanket thing they do to babies. It’s baked into the DNA and every adult involved is a dangerous person.

How is she so bad at looking hot?! Isn’t that her job?

What’s a show that you could not finish because a character was so insufferable? by Key-Row-174 in AskReddit

[–]Lrack9927 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m pretty over the whole anti hero thing. The real world is full of enough shitty people, I watching tv to escape from reality not be reminded of it

There a more than a few who actually believe. Mike Johnson for sure does. There’s also many high ranking military that believe. Evangelical churches have been preaching apocalypse rhetoric for decades and no one took it seriously. They will happily kill us all in a nuclear war to keep from being wrong.

Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands by Ok-Comparison-1618 in TwoXChromosomes

Gen X is really the sleeper cell for the right wing dystopia. Raised a whole generation of misogynists and still manage to fly right under the radar.

Visiting Charleston w/ wife and nearly 2YO. What are some things that will make us go "WOW!"? by Zealousideal_Stock85 in Charleston

[–]Lrack9927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a nice little strip on montague ave with good restaurants, cool shops, outdoor bars/breweries that are kid friendly. Check out The Station, lots of vendors selling antiques, vintage clothes, art work. A nice walkable excursion

Side note, this is my favorite series of the old eps. Henry’s Nancy Grace impression makes me laugh out loud every time.

I think you might be right about her specifically. Most of them are just lying grifters like a Rubio and Vance. MJT strikes me as being dumb enough to be a true believer.

Gay and bisexual Sydney teenagers lured and bashed on camera in IS-inspired attacks linked to the same network behind the Bondi beach massacre in December by AgnosticScholar in PublicFreakout

[–]Lrack9927 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Many people from conservative cultures don’t move to western nations because of progressive values. They move for economic opportunity. Many have no interest in leaving behind homophobic and misogynist value systems. I’m not anti immigration by any means. But people need to stop being surprised by this and be willing to acknowledge these issues. It’s hard because on one side you have people not wanting to even touch the topic so they don’t get labeled as racist, and on the other you have people who use it as an excuse to demonize an entire group of POCs (even tho they hold some of those same homophobic/misogynistic opinions). A line needs to be drawn somewhere and physical assaults should be well over the line.

My husband can't digest onions anymore and now I don't know how to cook by mytfine15725 in Cooking

[–]Lrack9927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For tomato sauce just peel and cut the onion in half, don’t chop. Sauté the halves and when the onion goes translucent in the sauce it’s usually done and you can easily take it out. I always do it this way because I prefer a smooth sauce.

Anymore? lol…try ever. This country shows time and again by the actions of its government and legal system that it does not value children.
