If recent history of pastors is anything to go by, regarding the sexual abuse of children and the large number of preachers already busted for that last year, "moral" is something that's just a vocabulary word for many of 'em.
So what does he think of torture porn pictures. You know of let's say a badly beat man who was whipped and flogged, nailed to a torture device wearing nothing but what can best be described as a small hand towel.
I expect that his wife is the kind of woman who was taught about "marital duties" in her Sunday School that she should "grit her teeth, stare at the ceiling, and think of Michigan."
Well, that's fair for you, but you have to remember where this guy -- and his voting base -- are coming from.
They are white men who are getting lousy heterosexual action (if any at all) from their "significant others" and otherwise have to pay for it. However, those commercial transactions are invariably made in a rush in difficult circumstances, and the hired tart is eager only to get the job done and move on to her next client.
These guys have the theory that lesbians are actually bisexual nymphomaniacs who know the grand secret of "how to pleasure a woman," and are pleasuring each other while hoping that a "real man" joins them for an exciting three-way.
So they think that the movie they are watching, in which two hot blondes bop each other until Jake the Pool Boy walks into the bedroom to pick up his check and gets invited to join them is a realistic depiction of human relations.
When my Navy roommates watched a VHS tape back in 1992 on my TV set and player in our barracks room, I was irritated by their use of it without my permission to show a movie whose subject I disliked.
Furthermore, as a writer, I found the script, plot, and acting appalling.
Finally, as I was serving in the AFRTS station on the base, doing TV production, I was annoyed at the "hot focus" by the camera, meaning it had been improperly adjusted to the lighting, which messed up the color. If I'd done that for our live newscast, I'd be in serious trouble with my boss.
Anyway, my point is that this alleged Legislator's voters think that "Nympho Nanette and Her Friends" and "Sorority Row Vixens" are documentaries, not fantasies.
I once accidentally did a porn fantasy. I opened the door wearing a T-shirt and nothing else believing it was my mother*. It was a delivery man who rang the wrong door. The poor man didn't know where to put his eyes π€£
*To my defense she texted me a few minutes earlier she was nearly home.
But yet the entire RW/evangelical groups are just fine worshiping their hand picked Messiah who is closer to Satan than the Lord. Donald Trump represents all the issues Schiver is losing his mind over-- lying, stealing, killing and destruction. Iβm pretty sure few elected these people to promote or trash a religion, least of all to decide what qualifies in his eyes as acceptable or not. Again these βChristiansβ cannot accept anyone who doesnβt think exactly like them. No one is elected by all of us to have THEIR religion forced down our throats Iβm not crazy about any church getting privileged tax status either or getting deferred public school funds to indoctrinate grade schoolers with their nonsense. Apparently we have another politician who has never read our constitution and doesnβt know/ignores our nationβs history. We were NOT founded as a Christian nation as these lunatics would have us all believe. We were founded with freedom OF and FROM religion. And as previously said, if Schriver wants to work for God he can try a church NOT my government.
Schriver: "Honestly, I work for God and not for man"......
Cxaxukluth: (in a voice both silent and maddening): "It is time for your quarterly performance view."
Schriver: "No, I work for the other God."
Cxaxukluth: "Abholos? The Devourer in the Mist? Byagoona the faceless? Bugg-Shash, the Black One, The Filler of Space, He Who Comes in the Dark? Damn it, I just wished they would fill out the 10-566's so I know who's supervising who. You know human resources isn't the easy job they think it is.
Schriver: "No, no, no, I work for the one true God, I work for Jesus"
Cxaxukluth: "Who?"
Schriver: "He's a white guy, you know. Who has incredibly strict and harsh rules governing people who don't look, think or act like me, and yet is incredibly lax with me. Forgiving everything I do, even though none of the damage occurred from my actions, in any way, affects him, and those that I actually hurt are left with nothing. That dude."
Cxaxukluth: "Oh, you mean, Yahweh the inbred galactic dildo. Oh, sorry to say we had to let him go. Actually, not that sorry. We found out that he had inappropriate relationship with a 13 year old girl who was also his mother. Which, ew. But anyways, on to your evaluation. Don't worry, it will be long and painful.
I knew before I read the article there would be a grinning Republican behind this piece of idiocy. Our secular government doesn't get to decide which religions are legitimate, and cannot choose one religion over another. A high school level understanding of American history should have made that clear to him. The religious right never stops trying to legislate their religion and reinforcing the need for church-state separation.
Hey, if they don't pander to their slavering religious base, they won't get votes! I'm pretty sure this is just posturing, as it can't possibly pass. He probably knows that as he pulls out his poor bible, which has dents in it from all the thumpery!
And I was fairly confident it would be a youngish man. Young, male Republicans are the worst. They have the misplaced confidence of youth, the arrogance of men, and incuriousity of Republicans.
They're in favor of education as long as it's related to making money, or backstopping the Bible. The thing they are really opposed to are efforts to teach critical thinking skills.
[You really have an issue where theyβre seen as equal in the eyes of the state, and that doesnβt seem right to me for many, many legitimate reasons.]
Then maybe you should move to Russia or Saudi Arabia, motherfucker.
Because it is a fundamental tenet of what it means to be American that all religious beliefs are treated equally under the law.
ββI actually am working on a policy right nowβI havenβt introduced it yetβbut itβs actually to really focus on making a distinction between the churchβthe church of Jesus Christβand this, quote unquote, Church of Satan,β Schriver announced.β
You donβt get to make laws making a distinction between your religion and others. Thatβs what the establishment clause restricts.
βYou really have an issue where theyβre seen as equal in the eyes of the state, and that doesnβt seem right to me for many, many legitimate reasons.β
None of those reasons are legitimate, because there is no legitimate reason to see these religions as anything but equal. According to our Constitution.
βThereβs many examples of us looking at our First Amendment and how it doesnβt really protect against obscenity,β
The constitution does not protect against obscenity, it protects against power hungry politicians trying to enforce a religious belief and standard on everyone, like you. Obscenity is not a problem, not one that needs a constitutional protection for. Itβs also very subjective and impossible to define, many things you believe strongly in I find obscene, but your protection wonβt address that. The part of what you deem obscene, pornography especially, that needs to be addressed you are unwilling to even consider a problem. The exploitation of women and girls, human sex trafficking, rape culture, and general disdain for women and all things feminine.
And history has shown time and again, godly states are no where near great and cannot even be considered remotely good. You were elected to work for people, the people of your district or state, all of them, god can take care of himself. You have shown you are not capable of doing your job and are not qualified for it.
Satan put Job and his family through the ringer with the biblical god's full permission.
The only 10 people Satan kills in the bible are the sons and daughters of Job. Again, only with permission. Compare and contrast with YHVHs body count of 2,038,344, which includes those 10. And this is only for where exact numbers are available in the bible. There are no known numbers for the great flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, the plagues of Egypt, etc. That makes the count higher.
That is one of the reasons I have trouble with organized religion, as opposed to faith. You need faith to do thingsβ¦get married, open a business, even fight a war.
But organized religion? I have seen:
Rabbis who sell body parts. (Thatβs how Chris Christie built his reputation as the βracket-busting DA.β)
Protestant pastors who run real estate development operations thinly disguised as churches.
Televangelists who grift from their flock to live extravagant lifestyles, with air-conditioned dog houses, expensive hookers, and paying off church secretaries.
Catholic priests who molest children and are protected by the church.
Muslim imams who tell their flock to commit suicide bombings, but stay safely in the rear.
Buddhist monks who tell us βeverything is as it should be.β
These clowns donβt worship God. Or good. Just greed.
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" ~ Epicurus
We don't really know it's Satan who did it. Job's family died when their house was blown over. God is in charge of the sky, not Satan so God killed them.
Why is this a hill every religious nutter wants to die on? Arenβt there enough real issues in Michigan that actually need some solving? If Schriver canβt find anything better to do, perhaps he should just become a minister and go pound sand, I mean a pulpit somewhere.
Mostly because they have no solutions to the real issues in Michigan (Texas, Florida, the US, ...) and Democratic solutions help "those" people as well, so their base will throw a shitfit.
What's really the end game here Josh? I know it's not to revoke the tax exempt status of religions you don't agree with, not in a blue state. Imagine if you get your way; what mega, alt-right-prosperity gospel church would lose it's status in Michigan? No, clearly you are simply trying to score points with the people who are incapable of thinking these things through. People who not only can't be bothered to read the seven tenants of The Satanic Temple but have their browsers blocked from even visiting their site. It's no wonder you freak out when they put up a display on a public forum. You are afraid that people will ask questions. Questions that are very uncomfortable for someone that does not know what it means to be a 'public servant'.
The point of these bills isn't to change the law, it's to keep his voters in his pocket where he wants them. It almost works better if he makes the attempt and fails, since that means he gets to both point out his own efforts and try again with the same shenanigans to a crowd that loves a Jesus-believing 'underdog'. It's happened so often that I honestly sometimes don't understand why most Christians haven't picked up on just how much they're being manipulated, then I remember that they're deliberately ignoring it they way they've been taught to.
For a bunch of holier-than-thou crusaders, they are certainly more familiar with βsatanicβ symbols and meanings than the average person . . . Hope he doesnβt wander his sainted ass down to the desert SW where, cow skulls are regularly featured in garden-scapes and art. . . The Day of the Dead would really screw with his little mind!
Isn't the RCC violating the 2nd Commandment with that obscenity of a tortured, bleeding man writhing in agony on an execution device? If that's not a graven image, I don't what is.
Thing is, if Sniveler tries to get this removed as a graven image, he'd have to remove any 10 Commandments monuments that sit on public ground in Michigan as well. Bet he'll blk at THAT.
We went to the Fine Arts Museum here to see a display of Spanish Masters.
I was maybe 8 or 9. I was horrified by the depictions of bleeding, suffering Jesuses and it bothered me for days! That's child abuse, exposing kids to that sort of bloody and hateful imagery.

As a machinist I had to sometimes woprk in metric. It got to where I worked out a few simple conversions. A liter is just about a quart. MM is about 3/8 of an inch. A meter is just over a yard. A kilometer about 2/3 of a mile. Not real accurate, but close enough for "off the top of my head figuring." Working to tolerances of .001 inch or about a 10th of a MM got easy after a while.
I have my car's displays set to metric. Speeds tend to come automatically thanks to living and driving in Europe for several years. Temperatures are fairly easy, too, once one gets used to it.

He has a firm grip on this issue, I'm sure.
I expect that his wife is the kind of woman who was taught about "marital duties" in her Sunday School that she should "grit her teeth, stare at the ceiling, and think of Michigan."

It doesn't take much to satisfy you. I would go for a saucisson, if I still ate meat of course.
(sigh) The catholic version doesn't include the "graven images" part. Moral: it's all "pick yer own."
We went to the Fine Arts Museum here to see a display of Spanish Masters.
I was maybe 8 or 9. I was horrified by the depictions of bleeding, suffering Jesuses and it bothered me for days! That's child abuse, exposing kids to that sort of bloody and hateful imagery.
The blatant homoeroticism of kkkristers.
"55 feet" - Try using meters like a civilized person. ; )
Go correct the Wikipedia page where I found the info π
Wikipediaβ½β½β½ That's all libtard leftie commie propaganda! Go check the Bible if you want *real* facts!
The bible says to wash feet then divide by pi (3).
Why would you divide pie?
Well, you'd have to divide it. Who could eat a whole pie in one go?
*Go fetch her bible*
Voyons voir... Point de riz... Point de fougère... Point de Jersey.... Point mousse....
Je ne trouve pas le point de facts.
As the definition of the US inch is 2.54 cm, just do the math (because there's never, ever been any problems converting back and forth between units of measurement. Ever. Nope. None.ΒΉ)
(ΒΉ We said never, right? Why are you down here? What footnote? There's no footnote, scroll on to the next comment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter What link? Oh, that....yeah, pay no attention to that link, it's clearly from the lame-stream media.)
My kid's 7th grade science teacher showed them the "Stonehenge" scenes from Spinal Tap in order to illustrate the value of proper units.
Which made me glad to see his school teaching the classics. :)
As a machinist I had to sometimes woprk in metric. It got to where I worked out a few simple conversions. A liter is just about a quart. MM is about 3/8 of an inch. A meter is just over a yard. A kilometer about 2/3 of a mile. Not real accurate, but close enough for "off the top of my head figuring." Working to tolerances of .001 inch or about a 10th of a MM got easy after a while.
I have my car's displays set to metric. Speeds tend to come automatically thanks to living and driving in Europe for several years. Temperatures are fairly easy, too, once one gets used to it.
My brother has his car's climate system set to Celsius because his kids (one just now 8, the other 9) asked him to, they wanted to learn it.

Yes.
I wish I could troll him by sending him tickets to a Faun or Kiki Rockwell concert.

Whew. I am glad that my church, Our Lady of Perpetual Red Sauce is safe since we worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster. R'amen.
