Sniff, sniff - I detect the stench of 7 Mountains Dominionism somewhere here abouts... There is just no place in the public sphere these guys won't try to shove their religion on everyone else.
I can’t be absolutely sure, but this crap doesn’t go on in AUSTRALIA (YET!)
Your country has a serious lot of work to do to turn itself around into a sane world.
The CONSTITUTION has obviously not delivered the goods since it was put in place so many years ago.
And it really pisses me off to hear 95% of every person and institution automatically always referring to China as the ENEMY. What brainwashing have you all been subjected to. If China is an enemy of the USA, then it is wholly the fault of the USA.
Here endeth the lesson JIM 14:7
Here is an Australian article that many of you are likely to find an interesting read …
By John Menadue
For 35 years after Vietnam, we had a self-reliant defence policy. We need it again
I cannot argue with you. Our Constitution was written to try to forestall what has happened, but it has no teeth. It is utterly dependent on people of good will and wisdom adhering to norms. tRump - a NY mob boss was elected by a tiny plurality and has set about to destroy the Constitutional Republic.

Comment from South Australia :
Ken Ham was not just born in our 'White Shoe Brigade' State of Queensland , but he also comes from our 'DEEP NORTH' but.
WOAH ! Very scary. They all add 'but' to the end of every one of their spoken sentences. They are all tropically affected. Well, nearly all.
Hey, if that kid wants to put John 14:6 on their jersey, can I put Ezekiel 23:20 on mine?
This is what happens when some naif decides to open up a can of worms, whether intentionally or unintentionally, in a public setting. Collins played fast and loose because he could, and of course, it all blew up in his face.
I can just hear him say, "I didn't know this would happen." Sadly, WE WOULD KNOW.
The only thing that kids need on their jersey is a team name and a player number.
If these religious rapists want to drop their pants and wave their shame at the world they can do it with their fellow morons in some shitty church league.
Then why did he only ask the parents, and not the people in charge of buying and managing uniforms ? Why verbal and not written consent ?
And way to deflect his responsibility on the mother of one of the kids.
If the kids can keep their jerseys, they should still be allowed to have their name on them. Unlike sponsor brands, it has nothing to do with promoting an idea or a product.
He thinks he didn't go rogue because as the coach he had authority. He deliberately neglected to use the proper channels because he knew that he would be told no, as they had power over him. Authoritarians will always maximize their power to accomplish their desires.
Imagine a satanic church sponsoring this kind of bullshit. They could use the well known verse from this season of South Park and print on the back, “Trump Fucks Satan.”
Sounds like they’re admitting a church is just a profit-minded business, if they’re likening this to putting a store logo in the shirts. What’s up with all these coaches anyway? They’re going to be slapping Charlie Kirk on the shirts if this keeps up.
When I was but a wee lad, half a century or more ago, I played city recreation league hockey, as was the custom at the time in my hometown. My team was sponsored by Bill's Variety, a small neighborhood store that sold candy & cigarettes & magazines and such. Our jerseys had Bill's Variety on the front and our number on the back. If I remember correctly, Bill - and other local businesses - paid for the jerseys and such which enabled the parks & rec department to provide basic equipment (goalie kit ain't cheap!) in a nice public-private partnership.
I grew up in a heavily Catholic town (two big churches & a good sized parochial school K-12 system), and I don't remember any churches get involved with sponsoring such programs (bar league softball was a big thing for adults, again no churches).
I can easily imagine a Little Devils team in their league; wonder how that would go over in Prince George County?
50 years ago I was playing Junior B hockey, and to date I don't ever tecall seeing uniforms used to spread any form of Iron Age fables.
IANAL, which would explain why I cannot understand how this religious crap on a kids sports uniform is comparable to a sponsor paying to put their logo on that uniform, when this is done without prior approval by the entity that paid for the uniforms,nor why the county - the owners of those uniforms - can't have those uniforms replaced tout d' suite.
The thing that is so striking, is for every story like this posted, there are so many more. We are fortunate that this substack does such an excellent job bringing them to our attention, but it serves as a reminder that they will never stop trying to foist their religious beliefs on others. This is why the idea of a theocracy is so frightening. Not because of a jersey or a plaque. But because they will never stop trying, while they pretend it is innocent. It is baked in to Xtian beliefs.
Hey mate, your talking about the USA, the UNTIDY STATES OF AMERICA … you say "before their brains are fully developed and before they’re educated". I’ve been told that applies to 96.4% of the US population through all ages.
Example … Dumold Jesus Trump, and many of, sorry, all of his team.
Pure proselytizing. I feel so sorry for these kids…But that’s the point: indoctrinate them while they are young. This coach is typical…pick and choose buybull verses that fit their needs & leave out the contradictory and completely inaccurate verses.
By the way, to summarize verses in John 14, Jesus is the “Way TO the Father”, Jesus “IS the Father”, and the Father (God) is a “No Show”! No contradictions there! But, it’s not hard to see why it’s difficult to explain that god exists when none of his disciples have ever seen him.
Not much to say this morning. They will continue to try to insert their religion into everything, even kids football games. Jesus himself said that he’s so loved the world that he came to save everybody from people like Christians. Or something like that. And if you don’t love him back, you’ll burn in hell forever. But also, if people aren’t listening to you, don’t sit there and argue with them, but shake the dust off your sandals and go find another market, umm, town.
Bonus points. you get to claim you’re persecuted if other people object.
Sniff, sniff - I detect the stench of 7 Mountains Dominionism somewhere here abouts... There is just no place in the public sphere these guys won't try to shove their religion on everyone else.
The UNTIDY STATES OF AMERICA is insane.

Didn't you export Ken Ham to the USA ? 😋
I’ve heard of Leg Ham, that’s pretty good, not sure about Ken Ham. Is he that christian rip-off merchant something to do with jesus on the hill ?

Genesis 19:33-36. Lot and his daughters. That would cause some uproar in a youth soccer league!
Ya THINK??? 🤪
What's the verse about donkeys and a shameless woman ?
Ezekiel 23:20
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
The only thing that kids need on their jersey is a team name and a player number.
If these religious rapists want to drop their pants and wave their shame at the world they can do it with their fellow morons in some shitty church league.

I thought Satan had better taste. How silly of me 🤣
South Park has an episode of Trump impregnating Satan.

I fully expect for Charlie Kirk to be nominated for MAGA sainthood before the year is out. 🤢🤮
He's still a public toilet.
They did that before the corpse was cold.
MAGA is really hurting for heroes if that jackalope is their Saint 😇
That's 𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒐𝒐 last week's news¹:

(¹ Literally, and not just in the virtually sense of the word.)
There are already Charlie Kirk t-shirts for sale.
They’re good for lining bird cages. And each time you wash them, the image fades fades a little more.

Welcome to a world where children are taught fantasy as fact. Science is meaningless. The rapture is coming.

How long do you think it'll be before either Trump or Christian Nationalists go after Stephan Pastis?
Is he published in any venue their ilk might stumble across it? Daily Stormer, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Iowa Standard.....
Or Wiley Miller (have you seen this morning’s Non Sequitur?). And how about Doonesbury’s Garry Trudeau? Especially him.
You can as well go for the short version "anyone who doesn't worship him and kiss his ass".
Purdy much ... 😝
I like "All the Pretty Horses". 😉

They have to indoctrinate early, before their brains are fully deveoped and before they’re educated. I feel sorry for the non-Christian CHILDREN.

It’s all they have. NOT an admirable way to achieve power and control.
Further evidence of my thesis that religion is just marketing.

"Hello, your unexpected Sunday post allowed us to comment before Oraxx (still a not show 2 hours after said post), not an easy task 🤣
The only time I managed it was when you posted one around 12:30 pm my time. Usually you post between 3 and 3:30 pm."
Hemant's answer "Hahahaha :) Glad to help!"
Glad we got a new post. Sorry about showing up late, it’s Sunday and I decided to sleep in. Good to see you today. 😋
Is it Monday morning? Did I sleep all day Sunday? Is it a time warp again?
I fell into the same trap. Hemant pulled a fast one on us. :D
Take a jump to the left.
And then a step to the right?
It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I remember doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me
And the void would be calling
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again...
