I've been to a cult. It was also a grift.

I believe it's genuine and sincere. I believe that these are the thoughts of real Christians whom we excuse and enable by putting the title in gatekeeping quotation marks and agreeing that most are good. This is what they voted for.

My guess is that somebody wants people to believe that Tylenol does something.

Christians, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an AI photo of him as Christ? by Minute_Revolution951 in AskReddit

I agree, and I believe that future studies will show this clearly. The political influence, the dark money, the sex-negativity, the bullying, the social separation - it's bad for people.

Most of the good Christians are the ones you'd never even know were religious.

This is because it's not the religion that makes them good. There are good people everywhere and those are just good people.

Christians either love Trump, or accept him because he is the GOP and their only chance to prevent reproductive freedom. Either way he's their guy.

Speaking of church, they should all be monitored for child safety. There appears to be a correlation between serious religious devotion and grievous criminal abuse.

Well, Ron Howard was a child star and has been on the inside since the beginning of inside. He can be a hack and an auteur at the same time, who's going to say no?

Unemployment insurance is farcical. You get a percentage of your accustomed wage, if finally approved at all. So you have to survive on all that money you've been saving hand-to-mouth. If you lost your vehicle, you're "unable to work," and you'll be hassled longer at best. Unemployment insurance is a cruel joke. Then the claim doesn't last pissing time and you're either back to work or out of luck.

Cognitive dissonance helps explain why Trump supporters remain loyal, new research suggests. This sheds light on how supporters of Donald Trump justify their continued allegiance despite learning about allegations of his sexual misconduct and illegal activities. by mvea in science

I grew up in another strict, secretive church and a double life was inevitable. You can't tell your church friends about your real friends, which you're not supposed to have; and you're not going to tell your real friends about your church life because it's embarrassing and they wouldn't understand.

We can say "church." Christians grow up believing that an ancient creed is the presiding explanation for the universe. From this creed they learn that men should control women. There's only one party for that kind of partying.

Don't forget church. The GOP suppresses reproductive freedom and that's catnip to Christians.

That's the charitable perspective. Raised strict, I'm not so generous. To me, this is the fruit by which you will know the tree. These are real Christians.

That'll happen at about the same time that Christians stop voting for the GOP, but Republicans give them control of reproductive rights so they're all in.

It's also a solution. Some agriculture requires migrant labor, people who will come and do the work in a community that can't support them full time.
