Rhesus Pieces posted:How do "super-religious" people miss the whole point of their religion so badly? Do they actually go to church? What the gently caress is their pastor even droning on about? Because they aren't Christians they are non-religious Paulists. To them religion is not something that inspires you to help your fellow man or lead a more fulfilled life, it's something that provides divine cover for your pre-existing prejudices. Worshiping in a congregation is not a gathering of spiritual people coming together to become something larger than their individual selves, it's a social club where membership confers "goodness" or "righteousness". Just like their Saint they get so bogged down in the weeds of whether or not women can teach, how much is ok to drink, is it ok to have "x" kind of sex, that they never actually bother to look at the words of their Messiah.

rkajdi posted:Unlike most MIGF stuff, this is on-point and important. Lots of people are willing to say they oppose something that's as obviously vile as the Muslim ban while voting for it in secret when they are unaccountable. I'm seriously worried this means we're undercounting the racist Trump supporters and he finds a way to ninja the election. I'm uncertain of what happens then, but it isn't good and I doubt the pogrom level stuff will stop with Muslims. They had a good bit on News Hour the other night about how polls can be subtly skewed. One big point is that polling companies can legally only auto dial land lines, which probably throws things way off.

And, if I recall correctly, Nate Silver was positing the exact opposite. That people with land lines are actually more likely to vote.

So a Muslim veteran somehow ended up on the no-fly list and is stuck outside the US for the second time. Now he's in a Turkish jail until he can get past the no-fly list with the embassy's help. Naturally, Fox News picked up some unsourced garbage from an Islamophobic website about how he's actually an ISIS member arrested in Turkey. This spread across the news media and even to the local news of the city where he lives in Oklahoma. I hate this loving country so much.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:There isn't really enough solid evidence to actually show this. I buy the landline thing not being an issue, in that landlines skew older and older people vote more. However, a reverse Wilder effect (where racist trash are willing to say they won't vote for Trump while still pulling the lever in private anonymity) also seems very simple. You don't need to go much firther than the internet to see that in an anonymous environment people are far more racist/homophobic/antisemetic/misogynistic/ect than in meat space. The lack of ability to hold people in account for their positions really shows you how little progress has been been made in eradicating that kind of thought. The voting booth, where nobody can hold you accountable for who you vote for, seems a logical place to see a similar effect.

In a realistic sense, isn't that the only point of a church or any religious organization anyway? I mean the religious organization not the religion itself, since they are obviously two different things. We talk about communities like Mormons or the (actual) Amish being "close knit" but really what that means is that they have a good internal network to support each other based on their religion. That's the whole point of joining a religious organization in the first place-- they have as much monopoly on religious practice as Weight Watchers has on dieting.
