I look forward to Christians saying this is blasphemous and it subsequently being made illegal. As is tradition.

Hopefully they'll just refuse to use it and all the Christians will die of cancer

Christian here, I don't understand why anyone would object to this lol

Could you... I dunno, just talk to other Christians? Tell them they're being silly on stem cells, women's health, the age of the Earth, evolution, LGBTQ+ people, and much more?

And could you please, please, please get them to finally actually read those Bibles gathering dust on their bookshelves? Help them discover for themselves that Jesus has a lot to say about hypocrisy and nothing to say about gay people? Maybe they'll also discover that God doesn't help those who help themselves, but instead commands his followers to help each other?

I think the other Christians may have other issues that need resolving first if they believe that this is something that should be stopped or hindered.

Christianity as a religion is laudable.

Christianity as a political ideology is terrifying.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Religion IS political ideology.

I believe it can work inwardly and be separate from politics. In reality, though, I don't think it can.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, I mean they're the same thing.

It's a bunch of ideology, doctrine, a platform, people get irrationally defensive and tribal about it, 85% of people follow the same one their parents / peers do, etc etc.

Only difference is the top guy tends to be invisible and impossible to vote out.

Hey, that makes sense.

I was seeing "political" and misunderstanding it.

Because at some point one of the scientists learned how to reprogram somatic cells by experimenting on embryonic stem cells.

Mostly it's because the man who yells about God on the tv while demanding money for his 5th private jet said so, plus the south is represented in government by the best and brightest of its used car salesmen.

Because they need a new outrage target.

It's not like there was any reason to be outraged about the lack of conservative indoctrination in schools either.

Christian here and I think this is awesome! Some of us are ignorant, closed-minded dipshits and I am truly sorry. Truth be told, this Jesus guy was pretty great, but most of his fan club is fucking nuts.
