The viciousness, which often verges on flat-out sadism, goes a long way toward explaining the apparently bottomless yearning for Duggar-style propaganda. It's all about reassuring conservative Christians that all this religious oppression and cruelty is justified. The images of smiling blonde children chasing butterflies in a field under the gaze of beatific blonde parents tell a story they desperately want to hear.

It certainly seems as though these moral #crusaders want to expunge these #books from #libraries not because they are #pornographic in nature, but because these books threaten some of their fundamental #beliefs, such as the belief that #white, #cisgender, #JudeoChristian lives are somehow more important, and more central to the #American experience, than other lives.

Texas fracking billionaire brothers fuel rightwing media with millions of dollars

Farris and Dan Wilks’ deep pockets fund climate denialism education, conservative politicians and pro-fossil fuel projects

Since they created their foundations, six- and seven-figure checks from the Wilks brothers have bolstered numerous pro-fossil fuel and evangelical projects.

‘You Will Be Removed in Jesus’s Name’: Christian Nationalist Megachurch Behind Takeover of California School Board

The Christian nationalist leader of a California megachurch is behind the takeover of a local school district board that has led to Proud Boy appearances and police being called in to keep meetings from turning violent, a report claimed Monday.

This is a crystal clear example of #unconstitutional viewpoint #discrimination. #Bigoted state #officials do not get to violate the #FirstAmendment just because they don't like #gays existing in public, and engaging in activities that everyone else can freely engage in. Where are the fuckin #lawsuits??

Pretty sure being an insufferable prick and an objectively shitty actor has more to do with Kevin Sorbo's dry spell than the fact that he believes in nonsense. Jus' sayin...

The entire point of #Christianity is to hurt non-Christians for committing the crime of not acquiescing to the controlling demands of Christianity. #Jesus was all about empathy, and treating others with #kindness and #compassion, but when was the last time #Christians even made an attempt to live up to that ideal? The behavior of contemporary #American Christians is directly contrary to Jesus' teachings, and it's getting worse by the day.

These Christians Think God Needs You Rich and to Rule the World

Wealthy megachurch televangelists are blending what’s known as the “prosperity gospel” with nationalist politics.

“God needs you saved,” said Copeland, the wealthiest pastor in America. “He needs you filled with the Holy Ghost. He needs you well. And he needs you strong. And he needs you rich.”

Who The F#*k Is Vivek Ramaswamy?

I want to be a leader who understands that we are one nation under God and who understands the Judeo-Christian ideals that this country was built on. Values that I deeply agree with.

States decide what the rules are for murder. So, if pro-lifers are right and abortion is a form of murder, and I agree with them, Ramaswamy wants to change the Constitution to raise the voting age to 25.

These authors are promoting nothing more than the #Christian #patriarchy that #Republicans on the #religious #rightwing have long promoted; they've just decorated it with #leftist ideas like #Marxism and #feminism. Their musings are as substantial as a late-night bull session in a college dorm room. Their only proposal to reverse the decline of #Christianity is to do even more of the stuff that drove people away in the first place.

I got news for you, Christians. Your #faith doesn't make you immune from #criminal #investigation or #prosecution. If you're behaving like #domesticTerrorists, you should expect to be treated as such. You're not special. Stop pretending to be a #victim.

Fuck #FranklinGraham with a baseball bat. He loves to condemn public figures (mostly on the left) for "loving their #sin". I got news for you, Frankie, let's talk about YOUR sin with your #poolboy. Let's talk about the dozen or more #sinful #homosexual encounters you've been caught in over the years. And BTW, sin isn't real. It's a made-up concept that exists for the sole purpose of giving white #Christofascists like you a reason to feel superior to your fellow man.

#ADF (Alliance Defending Freedom) is a certified #hateGroup by the SPLC. The #freedom they defend is the freedom of #Christians to dictate the lives of everyone in the nation. It is an evil organization that seeks to criminalize #homosexuality, and shove gays back into the closet.

#CHRISTOFASCISTS IN AMERICAN RELIGION

Religion still dominates American life, but in a unique way. Religion stifles progressive politics and divides groups. Religious institutions help powerful people make sense of the world and improve their lot in the face of uncertainty and injustice.

@SrRochardBunson Maybe all the impatient #Christofascists will catch a ride on the next ‘comet’ (actually a disguised spaceship) to their ‘heavenly reward’, just like the #HeavensGate cult did? 🤔

Women, people of color, and the economically and politically oppressed are more religious than white, middle-class men.
