“Christians would be relegated “to bottom-of-the-barrel status in our society — below socialists and Nazis and Klan members”
So, Nazis and Klan members are the bottom of the barrel? Aren’t they both groups based in Christianity? Why yes, yes they are. The panhandlers he mentions also often utilize Christianity to engender pity to get donations, I have yet to give to a panhandler that doesn’t bless me for my generosity, and I frequently give to them.
The bottom of the barrel (according to Kavanaugh) are already Christians. So no loss there buddy boy.
Funny how Christians don't seem to realize that average Americans aren't clamoring for more injection of Christian beliefs in society. Nobody is sitting at home thinking, "I wish there was less Church/State separation." Except other Christians.
Translation: anything derogatory, rude,or threatening couched in Christian terms is allowed. Anything religious and not Christian, no matter how demonstrably benign, is automatically derogatory, rude, and threatening, since it opposes Christianity by existing.
Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
Jesus wasn't really ambiguous here. Assuming these were the words of Jesus accurately remembered, of course. And, as mythicists will remind me, that Jesus existed at all. :)
Matthew 6:5-6 must be among the most ignored verses in the bible, as it comes to evangelicals and Christian Nationalists who are determined to advertise their beliefs to anyone, whether they're interested or not. I wonder what kind of counter it would take to get them to recognize what they're doing, though I'm sure they are determined to take a cafeteria approach to the bible, and pick and choose verses as they please.
Match what xtians do. If they stand on street corners with portable PA systems, bullhorns and signs, stand across from them with the same (only our signs will point out the illogic of god belief, not to mention reject religion’s embrace of hatred.
it will be so nice when little Ronnie DeSantis is no longer the governor of Florida. He has done nothing but destroy this state- trying to make it the poster child for Nazi christian white nationalism. It is gerrymandered to the max, he is destroying public education system attempting to put all this nonsensical religious hooey everywhere. He tried to destroy Disney because they support DEI and LGBTQ. The Canadians and other vacationers stopped coming , which is killing the hospitality businesses. It is low in education, high in poverty, his record to make Florida better sucks. He and his creepy stepford wife need to go the fuck away and take their little Damiens with them. And he tried real hard to be a big man by opening Alligator Alcatraz. The Nazi camp for brown people. Which was a fucking waste of tax payer dollars. And Floridians better start voting these Nazi republicans out - otherwise it will soon be a Nazi state.
Your latest "Rapture" came and went. Were your fellow christers who predicted it in error? Makes them rather fallible. Besides, didn't your own Jesus say that NO ONE, not even HE, knew when it was going to happen? Only "the Father" knew (kinda strange that Jesus wouldn't know, as he's supposed to be "one with the Father").
But wait: Could it be that the Rapture DID happen and you were all "Left Behind?" Let that niggling thought haunt you.
Justice Fratboy said the quiet part out loud. The Christian Nazionalists want 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 prayer, and if they can't have that, they are being horribly persecuted against.
I would bet that the far right Justices denied cert only because the case is moot, since the new law in Floridumb is a big Trojan horse to smuggle in mandatory prayer.
Why is god so freaking deaf that he can only hear loudspeakers? Maybe that i why it cnnot help al those kids being raped by priests and ministers? It simply cannot hear them?

And frankly, from a social psychological standpoint, that’s an admission that they cannot make.
It’s kind of like the practice of sin leveling. Everyone sins, they say. The intention of sin leveling is to bring their great sins down to the level of everyone else’s minor sins, although they claim just the opposite when they claim that before God all sins are equal. They are not God, as much as they want to be. But the point is, they want to point out everybody else’s sins so they don’t feel quite so bad about their own. This is just a way to make their God greater than other peoples gods or other people’s lack of gods.
That way, they don’t feel quite so bad that their God seems to be useless. I mean, what kind of God can’t even help you win a football game?

Do you think that this is all the Russian trolls efforts to keep people from seeing Stupid Idiot's name on all Epstein files? Unless I'm wrong on this, I think, is exactly what is happening here. This is the day Congress is set to vote whether to release the Epstein files or not, you know?
This is encouraging, if only somewhat so. I have wondered for a while where SCOTUS really stands on the issue of State / Church separation and whether a case like this might tip their hand, potentially in the wrong direction. I take some comfort in the fact that the court DIDN'T opt to take on the case involving Cambridge Christian School and University Christian School, but I am very dubious that this closes the matter.
There are Christians out there who wish to nullify the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. That is intolerable to anyone who values the secular nature of our government, weakened though it may be, and that needs to be fought for.
Under any reasonable interpretation, no. With the current SCOTUS? Not only will they call it constitutional, they will promote it as model legislation for other states.
I prayed not to be Gay. I am still Gay. So god is okay with Gay people? Its book says I am to be murdered and punished for eternity. Which s it? One Catholic claims god loves me and another says I will burn forever. Please make up your minds already?

NOTHING. FAILS. LIKE. PRAYER. Don’t worry: We’ll THINK for you.

Tis no matter to them what others may think
Tis none of their affair what any man thinketh
Tis not for them to heed the thoughts of others
No stranger’s thought hath claim upon their spirit 😀

Yep. Pointed out Matthew 6:5-6 an hour ago. Christians can’t even be bothered to read the gospels, let alone the entire bible. Lazy bastards.

Matthew 6:5-6, xtians. Jesus Christ, what does it take?
They haven't listened to their "leader" for about 20 centuries. What makes you think they'll start now?
Why is god so freaking deaf that he can only hear loudspeakers? Maybe that i why it cnnot help al those kids being raped by priests and ministers? It simply cannot hear them?
That damn “Silence” again…
This was a fun film. I have not read the book, but my husband did.

Works like a charm.
Lucky
Much better than a few minutes ago (as of 10:25 AM, EST).
Yes.
Eta: Now I'm really pissed. I can't get to my favorite poker site. 🤬
Not me
Check out JoeMyGod.com website and see you are able to access it. I, myself, is having trouble getting inside it so.
Works perfectly for me. I am on my phone. Maybe it's a Chinese plot and I can access it thanks to my cheap Chinese* phone 🤔
*Don't worry South Korea, my heart will always be with you.
Now that you mentioned it, I'll check my phone and see if I can access the sites.
Eta: I got it! I got it through one of them. I'll see if I can get through the other next.
I had trouble with only one site for now. Allow me to not name it since it's an illegal one.
Naughty girl.
Works fine for me.
I couldn't get on JMG or Aaron Parnas just a few minutes ago.

No, this won't stop the flies being released.
Good. That's what I thought.
Even Stupid Idiot's "Truth Social" is down along with ChatGPT, X, 8chan, Grindr, and others.

Yes, Cloudflare has blocked access to FFRF.
I just checked. FFRF.org is back up.
Aaaaaand I just hit a Cloudflare error. Also Google Mail is VERY slow.
Works for me but the checking if I am human step was longer than usual.
I refreshed the Error 500 page and it came up, but generally, browsing is VERY SLOW at the moment.
Are you on a computer ? Except for that aforementioned step, the speed to charge a page is the same as usual.
Yup, working on my laptop. Just checked my Yahoo mail, and it is taking a while to refresh as well.
Is the 2023 state law constitutional?
Under any reasonable interpretation, no. With the current SCOTUS? Not only will they call it constitutional, they will promote it as model legislation for other states.

Seen on FB.
Jesus had no animus toward gay people in the gospels. He never mentioned them, unless you count healing the young male lover of a Roman soldier.
Instead, he targeted religious hypocrites and moneymen in the temple.
