There have been many bad forms of government throughout history, but none worse than theocracy. Even a cursory reading of history make the disconnect between religion and morality abundantly clear. This country doesn't face a single problem that has Christianity as a solution, and if you want to see what real persecution looks like, . . . hand power to the preachers. If the preachers ever acquired the power they crave, they would begin killing one another over doctrinal errors within a week.
I sometimes think the Fed should be more lax/tolerant of break-away cults and communities, as the vast majority of them serve as an object lesson of how terrible these systems are. It's much easier to convince Joe Public that theocracy is a bad idea when the theocratic community next door is wallowing in poverty, abuse, and tyrrany. But the larger part of me says 'no,' because the human cost of not stopping them is IMO too high.
Still, it makes me want to tell the Feuchts of the world to go put their money where there mouth is. Go take your followers, buy 1,000 acres in Montana, live your godly lives, and show us how it all works out. According to you, you'll do much better than the rest of us, right? Right?
Those who would break down the barriers between church and state always manage to convince themselves it will be their tribe calling the shots. That is a statistical long shot to say the least. They should be imagining the tribe they hate most having control over their lives, as that will definitely be someone's reality.
That is one reason I think Islamofascists hate the West. Their religion tells them that since they are the "true believers," their countries should be as or more successful than Western nations. Yet they are second and third-world nations instead.
"Does not even nature teach you that it is a shame for a man to have long hair?"
So Sean, if you want to follow the Bible, first step for you, so you won't be shamed is go to your local barber shop and be in compliance. Don't rationalize the verse away. And until you do I take you as just another rebellious Christian who is living against God's word admonishing in hypocrisy that your "interpretations" should be law in the land to the "secular" public, many of whom are not Christians. Another busybody hypocrite. You are a dime a dozen this days.
I can remember being a small child in church in the sixties and hearing many an enraged shout-fest sermon denouncing "long-haired hippie freaks flaunting their godless communism and their heathen ways," or something along those lines. Sean, if you had set foot in a church back then you would have most likely been given the bum's rush right back out the door. Think about that next time you style those lock for one of your religious events.
I believe this must have been what all those fundie preachers and deacons in my neck o' the woods had in mind whenever they bellowed ad infinitum about "dirty, nasty hippie freaks" back in the day.
I always found hippies fascinating, but seriously, this Bulloch dude looks like he needs to be scrubbed down with Lysol.
I am not even talking about his look, but his open disobedience to the God he claims to extol. Agree, looks bad, but hey, if that's how you express yourself, who am I to say you shouldn't. But his God doesn't like it.
Isn't it funny the Jesus is always depicted with long hair. Very long hair. In fact, I have a picture of Jesus and shoulder length big curls and flaming blonde hair. So what is god boy saying? That the New Testament can be ignored? That St. Paul can be ignored, because this is no old testament ceremonial admonition. This is Saint Paul talking.
That he's better than Jesus? Or Jesus is a pussy boy?
When I first became aware of all of this years ago, my mom's local Christian radio station (along with many fundamentalists booklets and tracts from the likes of American Family Association) convinced me that if everyone in America turned away from their sins and back to God, life will be so much better to where crime will be lowered to zero, no one will hear any swear works on TV and in the movies, no more seeing porn, no one will argue, fight, be molested and abused, no one silencing Christians in schools and other public places, everything will be just like life in Mayberry on the Andy Griffith Show.
Boy, was I fooled to believe in and hope for a whitewashed fairy tale fantasy world manufactured by Christians, wasn't I?
A lot of us fell for that same bullshit. The Andy Griffith Show/Leave It to Beaver/Wonder-Bread-and-Apple-Pie fantasy of how great things would be if only all those awful heathens and unbelievers would just "get right with the Lord." It was drummed into us from the cradle, along with a huge dose of hellfire and brimstone threats to keep us in line. I got out. You got out. And I bet it wasn't easy for you. Give yourself some credit.
So not only are they saying the quiet part out loud, they're using bullhorns to broadcast their crap! I suppose this was inevitable, particularly in the age of Trump, where nothing is too crazy or off limits.
Fine with me. If they want to be loud and proud about their bigotry, I have no problem matching up with them with my atheism and my liberalism and dedication to inclusivity. It just might be possible, too, that there are more of US than there are of THEM ... and we'll see how this works out.
They would be unimportant if it was only their followers. But the other half of the GOP sits there passively and says "we'll vote for your candidate and we don't give a shirt what crazy stupid social stuff he promotes, so long as he promises to keep our taxes low and our businesses unregulated."
Except, in practice, they don't give a flying fuck about keeping the average person's taxes low... only the ultra-wealthy donor class (and meanwhile, the cost of everything 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 than the tax bill goes up as a direct consequence of their other policies). The GQP's marketing department is just really, really good at convincing gullible schmucks that they're in the same boat as the multimillionaires and billionaires.
Good point. It lets them think they're dominant, while ignoring that the entire ball of wax; Republican whackos, Quidiots and religious extremists make up about 1/3 of the population. They're a minority, but a loud one. This is why their boycotts never work.
Yes, a considerable triple-threat. Don't underestimate them, or that portion of the population that lacks the education and critical thinking skills to see through the rhetoric. This is precisely why Repugs have been attacking the education system here for decades.
The irony of the world's least observant Christian providing the theocrats' rallying cry 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be delicious... if the rest of us weren't in their crosshairs.
“Perspective changes when the political issues of the age are properly framed into a spiritual context.”
Not everyone agrees there is a spiritual context, not everyone agrees with your spiritual context, not everyone wants to live by a strict spiritual context.
“ The transgender movement? Rebellion against, "male and female He created them."”
Then why are there intersex individuals? Why do some people have different expressions of the sex chromosomes, xx and xy, but also xxy, x, or any number of combinations. Then not everyone believes in your god.
“Homosexuality? Rebellion against, "a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh."
Not everyone wants to get married, even good cis-het Christians choose to settle down with a spouse. Besides, your god isn’t everyone’s god.
“We have seen a clear unveiling of the secular progressive agenda over America: abortion on demand up until the moment of birth,”
No one on the left has ever said they want to abort perfectly healthy fetuses right before birth, this is a fearmongering tactic from the liars on the right. Abortion needs to be accessible for when a pregnancy goes south later in the pregnancy, but no one is saying they want to abort after eight months of pregnancy. No one is killing healthy babies birthed a week early. We already have laws against that anyway, you know the same laws you claim are enough to stop gun massacres.
“the normalization of pedophilia and child sexualization…”
You mean moving priests and pastors and ministers, youth pastors and all kinds of clergy from one place to another after they’re credibly accused of molestation. Sorry, that’s not the left, that’s the Christian nationalist position. There are very few and very rare instances of LGBT people molesting children, but daily instances of cis-het, mostly white, Christian, family men who cannot keep their hands and willies to themselves, raping newborns to the elderly. No the normalization of child molestation is coming from inside your house Feucht.
“and the castration of perfectly healthy children in the name of "gender-affirming care."”
No one is doing bottom surgeries on children, they’re providing safe and effective medication to slow the progress of puberty on children that have body dismophia. It’s the same thing we do for children with precocious puberty and making these laws that hinder transgender children, also harm other children, since you don’t care about the people that you think aren’t worthy, there are folks that are worthy in your eyes getting hurt too. More of the litter than the former, to boot. There’s only about 1000 kids across the country looking for this care, it isn’t the pandemic you think it is, but your interference leads to worse outcomes across the board.
“This the fruit of anti-Christian leaders employing and legislating dark agendas over our nation.“
The fruit of non-Christian Nationalists is to allow people to live healthy, honest lives, with as much freedom as possible for a functioning society. The Christian nationalist agenda os to stomp all over the constitution, allow corrupt, white men do whatever they please to control and hurt anyone who get in their way. You lie about the left to keep your sheep afraid and under your thumb, but I’m not going to let you get away with that. And there are far more of folks who support reality than you and your followers.
I said it yesterday but these folks who want their religion to be in charge need to decide which religion/sect gets to run things before they can take over. Once they have determined the right religion, then they can work on the government takeover.
"[A]bortion on demand up until the moment of birth, the normalization of pedophilia and child sexualization and the castration of perfectly healthy children in the name of "gender-affirming care." "
Four statements, four lies. A liar for Jesus lying to stoke the fears of his base to get them to accept the fascist theocracy of his wet dreams.
You've had your chance. You've claimed that more prayer in schools is the solution, you've managed to make abortion illegal in many states, you've claimed more privilege than ever before in US history. You've been allowed to run amok for more than 50 years at this point, and yet you still say you need more. More power, more money, more authority, more control, more, more, more. You even have the nerve to complain you don't have enough privilege yet and need more of that, too.
Enough already. The bottom line is that despite your claims, we aren't moving to 'Make America Great Again'. We're moving toward making the US a totalitarian theocracy run by Christians, and it's not going well because your Jesus has yet to put a leash on you. I've lost track of the number of times in the last ten years I've been grateful I don't have kids because I fear for future generations born into the kind of mental and emotional slavery you've been promoting. The truth is you're making a complete mess of what should be a good government based on majority rule for the most part, and if I were a betting person, I'd say your Jesus gave up on you a long time ago for a wide range of reasons.
Clean up your act. Grow up, learn some responsibility, act like you care about someone who isn't you. Take care of people in need regardless of their religious affiliation or lack thereof and stop living like the world revolves around you. The rest of us might even like you better at some point if you do.
"There is no place for Muslims, Jews, Hindus, or atheists in his ideal world. They could exist, sure, but their religious needs would never be treated on the same level as a Christian’s wants."
Don't be naïve. EVERYONE who fails to meet the religious standards of Feucht's nightmare theocracy will be executed. There are plenty of examples in his precious Book of Magical Stories, and there are plenty of historical precedents. He just knows that he has to tell the truth in small steps as he gradually gains acceptance and power.
At 72, my chances of dying of another heart attack, a stroke, or cancer increase every day. But if instead I die violently, the chances are increasing every day that it will be at the hands of one of these insane monsters.
It's scary, and more than a little depressing, to read something this, realize this is about my America that I used to think was one of the most free countries in the world, and find myself nodding in agreement. This is why I, too, am glad I never had children.
I can only assume he wants crucifixion back on the list for punishment of certain crimes. For instance, wearing nylon and cotton, or having that psychobilly gal tattooed on your arm, or for listening to psychobilly...
When has that ever stopped them from displaying their tool of discipline? But you have a good point. Mmmm...stoning, maybe Christian isn't so bad after all. 🌿🚬←that's as close as my machine could come.
He'll certainly do that, but not till after he's attacked his lawyers and the jury as agents of the deep state or AI created by Hunter Biden's laptop or some similarly squirrelly bullshit. It couldn't possibly be his own fault, for being a rapist, could it?
And get his mindless shock troops to pony up the 5 mil (not that he wouldn't throw them under the bus after they did it. He demands loyalty, but has none).
Because when Christian preachers are allowed to create their own mini-communities, living in a small compound/territory where they are relatively free from outside interference and can impose the religious rules they *really* want, it works out so well and everyone becomes so happy and wealthy that it is obvious this should be the model for the entire country.

It looks just silly, but hey, just my opinion.
Isn't it funny the Jesus is always depicted with long hair. Very long hair. In fact, I have a picture of Jesus and shoulder length big curls and flaming blonde hair. So what is god boy saying? That the New Testament can be ignored? That St. Paul can be ignored, because this is no old testament ceremonial admonition. This is Saint Paul talking.

Modern day renditions of Jesus hair being long is simple mythical. In fact, Jesus himself may be too.

I guess bliss fever is better than fever blisters.
Breaking!!! Trump sexually assaulted, defamed E. Jean Carroll. $5 Mill fine.
The jury was unanimous in the verdict. MSNBC reports.
The cynic in me keeps saying that he'll never pay it. He never pays his bills. He will appeal, obfuscate, and desperately try to weasel out of it.
He'll certainly do that, but not till after he's attacked his lawyers and the jury as agents of the deep state or AI created by Hunter Biden's laptop or some similarly squirrelly bullshit. It couldn't possibly be his own fault, for being a rapist, could it?
His father taught him to never admit to wrongdoing. You now see the result of that fatherly advice.
Roy Cohn.

Gross. That photo of Trump at the mic. Why does he always pucker up his mouth like that, so that it looks like a giant hemorrhoid?
I read Roy Khan 😅
KOOOOOHN!!!
Given Trump's homophobia, I wonder what he would've made of Cohn's sexual leanings.
And get his mindless shock troops to pony up the 5 mil (not that he wouldn't throw them under the bus after they did it. He demands loyalty, but has none).
He will beg his followers to pay it. Being good sheeple they will.
Beat me to it as I was typing it.
neener neener neener! LOL!!!
:P
I wouldn’t be surprised if he just refused to pay it along with the lawyers and any court fees, like he does everything else.
I would be surprised if his lawyers stick around long enough to file for appeal once they realize he isn’t going to pay them.
If he's liable for battery, that means criminal charges.
Oh, happy day.
It's past that statue what has limitations (David?).
Trump, who believes he is still President, has already pardoned himself.
Because when Christian preachers are allowed to create their own mini-communities, living in a small compound/territory where they are relatively free from outside interference and can impose the religious rules they *really* want, it works out so well and everyone becomes so happy and wealthy that it is obvious this should be the model for the entire country.
