      Poor people are actually not so much people as real people. For them it’s best to be slaves, actually.

        Oh please. This is what American Christianity is now, whether you like it or not. No amount of "No True Scotsman"ing can change that.

    I wish there was a source for this. Not that I doubt it but I would love to use it to show it to a friend of mine that still struggles to see how deceitful is the current administration.

    Her ‘plus sign’ necklace is way bigger than most I’ve seen.

        I’ve never seen this version, it’s fascinating:

        “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you build tombs for the prophets your ancestors killed, and you decorate the monuments of the godly people your ancestors destroyed. 30 Then you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would never have joined them in killing the prophets.’

          It’s almost like, when you translate a work of fiction dozens of times, you can end up making it mean whatever you want it to mean.

      Got to make sure the cameras in the back pick it up. Just the usual iconography and standardized blonde talking head they trot out to remind people what they should look like in their version of murica.

      The percentage of area on someone’s* look that’s taken up by (the voluntary application of**) religious symbols exponentially correlates with how much of an absolute bell-end said person is.

      * I guess clergy are partially exempt given it’s a uniform

      ** I know there are some poor people out there forced to make their entire look a religious symbol. They’re definitely exempt.

    Is there any difference between the plus sign she wears and the plus sign with the guy hanging on? Do they both mean the same thing?

    As an aside I sometimes work alongside the International Red Cross and Red Crescent - fantastic people on the whole. Our group is mind-blowingly diverse. The only thing we seem to have in common is that none of us are (particularly) religious. We refer to the ICRC as “Cee plus” from the crescent and cross motifs.

      Paraphrasing the way it was explained to me as a child in a mainline Protestant denomination:

      With action figure = “crucifix” = Catholic = reminder Jesus died for our sins.

      Bare cross = Protestant and post-Protestant churches = reminder Jesus rose again.

      I’m not sure about Anglicans.

      Thank you for your service! More valuable than military work IMHO.

        That’s an excellent answer which I’m gonna take as factually correct until someone can prove otherwise.

        I’m strangely very proud of my work alongside C+ and thank you for appreciating it. Just a word of warning though: I was a childless single man in my early thirties when I started. If you have a life that involves other people think long and hard before joining - not everyone makes it back; and those that do are often never the same again.

      No difference. They both mean heretic who never actually read what Jesus preached.

        Yes, only you know the “Real” Christianity, and everyone else who makes your religion look bad are “heretics.”

        Sure thing.

      Even worse. I don’t know why they show up and pretend to be journalists. They are just propaganda mouthpieces anymore. And they have no loyalty to each other as journalists. If one of them gets ignored by the White House they just allow it and move on rather than imagining themselves as the target instead. It’s sick. This country is absolutely fucked and the populace is to blame.

        I mean… maybe it’s what the overall P2025 movement people want, but I could see Trump losing his goddamn mind if he walked out for a press conference one day and the room was just empty.

      Well for me, it’s the complete lack of evidence of anything supernatural.

      But yes, shit like this just reminds me that I made the right call.

    This would be the beginning and end of her career if it wasn’t for Fox “news”. She’s writing her resume every day she gets up and lies on camera.

    She’s complicit in destroying hundreds of thousands of lives at the least

    How do you know when Donald Trump is telling a lie?

    His face turns orange.
