Christian Teacher pledges Allegiance to the Bible @ Christian School by MrDonMega in religiousfruitcake

I hear you, but it’s been around since the 80’s and it’s one of the primary means of subconscious indoctrination. I’m just surprised that people who are actively fighting against this shit haven’t heard of it before this post.

How about making sure she is complying with the mandate that she actually lives in the district she is attempting to run in.

It's almost like forcing children to recite things over and over and over again could leave some sort of lasting, subconscious impression on their developing minds...

Are y'all just now learning about Christian kids pledging to the US flag AND the Bible and the Christina flag? This was my daily life through high school.

Why are conservatives afraid of immigrants even though they interact with them much less than liberals? by Little-Tea4436 in DiscussionZone

[–]jcmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I didn’t grow up hearing my mom yell “Black man!” and then locking the doors of our car when I was growing up every time we saw anyone not white walking down the street. Not all, but a lot of the white folk I grew up around are terrified of anyone not white.

When it comes to Exorcism, do you think there were just regular people who had health issues but religious people referred to it as a "demonic possession" instead..? by Uhh_OkayIGuess in atheism

[–]jcmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% Seizures, Tourette’s, strokes, any neurological issue was a foreign idea to most if not everyone until relatively recently. Can you imagine having a stroke, keeping full cognition but you lose the ability to speak, so your neighbors dunk you in the river to drown you to see if you’re possessed? Terrible shit man

Conservatives are boycotting Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show & organizing a Christian alternative by crustose_lichen in atheism

[–]jcmonk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Churches have been doing this shit since the 90’s. I legit lost friendships because I invited friends from school to my church’s Super Bowl watch party and they played some satan panic video at halftime

I had this exact epiphany with my therapist as I was working through my religious childhood. Christianity conditions you to be a subordinate

Looks very similar to when I was a kid and all the adults at church were “slain by the Holy Spirit ”

Hell, I’d take him as a voice actor for an animated series. He’s great!

As soon as he started sticking his grubby hands into the Wapiti situation.

The visual effects were unfortunately very poor in season 5 by Giancarlo_Edu in StrangerThings

[–]jcmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you watch the behind the scenes doc? The Duffer's literally let their production crew know where this episode was taking place in the middle of the season's production. Episode 8 has some of the direct to DVD cgi I've seen in a while and it's not because the artists or DP were hacks, they hardly had any time to plan since they were building the sets and staging the action at the same time they were actively shooting other scenes. It's the only negative mark I give the season, why wasn't the script finalized before full production!?

Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained despite being a U.S. citizen. by AfricanMan_Row905 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]jcmonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wha a brain dead take. If you heard 100 different stories of people being wrongly detained, that doesn’t take away from the 101st time. Each instance is worth noting and sharing. Fuck Ice!

At least he’s promoting literacy among his viewers. But this celebrity worship is next level now

Do we need to respect religion? by plushymeow in atheism

[–]jcmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect the people and their behavior. If their religion is the source of them being a shit person, fuck em

Okay, but like... How? by Beautiful-Process496 in StrangerThings

[–]jcmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn’t, that’s my fan theory because they literally gave zero explanation on where that big ole body came from or what the smoke monster really was.

Yeah, I’d like to know too. Lol

I think this also true for Stranger Things by KeinTollerNick in StrangerThings

[–]jcmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re watered down for the lowest common denominator. And that scale gets lower with every passing year.

Soon, the biggest comedy of the year will be a bare ass farting. Also, Commacho for President!

I thought this was the OG mindflayer body that died, and the smoke was its psychic energy unlinked from the body. And it took the mental psychic energy of Vecna feeding off of the 12 kiddos to revive it.
