Can't stop laughing https://twitter.com/dcexaminer/status/1200827654309580805?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw quote:Growing concerns in conservative circles that liberals are trying to convert young Christians into socialists by distorting the Bible and U.S. Constitution have prompted Virginia’s Liberty University to form a new center to push back on the media, academics, and Democrats. The new think tank, announced Saturday in Lynchburg was co-founded by two key leaders in the Christian youth movement, Liberty President Jerry Falwell Jr. and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Get good with practice but fades quickly if you aren't practicing. The trick if you gone through a few cycles is to know the cues that can get you good again in as few rounds as possible.

Rent-A-Cop posted:I like that one. "Is this parable about money?" is a good question for identifying morons. It's really the only parable from the gospels that could possibly be interpreted as pro-rich if you work for it. Everything else is entirely the opposite from a wealth point of view, even though that one isn't actually about wealth.

Isn't Utah notably favorable (by the standards of red states) towards refugees owing to the Mormons' particular history of having essentially been refugees for much of their existence? LDS is all kinds of repressive but they have their idiosyncrasies that set them apart from evangelicals, politically.

I've heard a lot of evangelical groups are bleeding women membership, but when best case scenario you're going to be treated as a lesser person than your husband no matter what that isn't surprising.

Doctor Teeth posted:im the 6% of dems who think trump is a better president than lincoln Those are probably the lit crowd that went all "Well Lincoln did some bad stuff during his terms after his election kicked off the war" and think they're oh so clever. I have known a couple people in the past that thought he sucked because his response to the Ft Sumter problem was to "further provoke the south to act". I suspect these are the same types you see in other polls where Dems have that small percentage that side with stupid poo poo Republicans do

And Trump's election hasn't made any of them happier or improved their lives in a meaningful way. The question is what are they angry about? I'll wager most of their grievances is over poo poo they voted for in the past or poo poo they've done because they are lovely people.

Kirk and Falwell blow and Jesus is deffo a commie, but also you should drop the pharisee insult in the future cause the historic connection between Pharisaic Judaism and Rabbinic Judaism. I'm not Jewish, so maybe I'm dumb and wrong, but I've been told that the animosity toward the pharisee is one of the roots of anti-Semitism among Christians. So yeah. Anyway, gently caress Falwell and co.

Helith posted:Biden the hand that feeds you  bobjr posted:I've heard a lot of evangelical groups are bleeding women membership, but when best case scenario you're going to be treated as a lesser person than your husband no matter what that isn't surprising. If there's one thing that the internet and social media have done, it's open up people to a world that's larger to them and given them context for their own world, good or bad. Almost all churches are also tied to a location and people are moving into cities where that evangelical power is weaker. Almost all religion is basically parasitic on the labor of women. It uses them while also deeply disrespecting them as people and treating them as inferiors who need to be controlled. In some religions this is muted, but in others the disrespect and violence is open and ugly. In evangelical churches, if you're an unmarried woman of breeding age, they'll do all but dart and tag you. The pressure on the remaining women to stay in the church is immense and toxic. Anything to get them to stay. Any lever is pulled. Anything to stop the bleeding. The church is a social space and without women to hold it up, it will begin to collapse just as it is doing now. In a very cynical but very real way, it's a dating pool. If that pool shrinks, the men will leave along with the women. But yes, evangelical affiliation for young people is absolutely collapsing. I think that this has to do with a mix of a lack of time to induct children into religious traditions, religious turmoil, acceptance of hypocrisy and sin for political power from religious elite, the movement away from rural and suburban areas to cities, growing college education and access to the internet. I honestly think that if trends continue, evangelical Christianity, at least the white version, could reach a tipping point where they go from few teens and twenty-somethings to continue to the traditions to basically none or actually none, which we are increasingly seeing due to demographic collapse. The religious culture is rapidly unraveling and I think that the tipping point is where the congregation can't hold enough parishioners to sustain a culture at which point the culture collapses. The churches may still exist, but they'll increasingly become irrelevant hospices. Ice Phisherman fucked around with this message at 11:12 on Dec 1, 2019 |

I imagine the first stop before that is we’ll see mega-churches starting to do ads in their sermons to make money: “Before we get to John 2:13 I would just like to thank Papa John’s and Rusty’s Auto Shop for supporting us here. If you check the back of your bibles today you’ll find a 15% off coupon when you order two or more large any topping pizzas! A perfect treat for lunch after church, don’t you think?”
