They also lack the capacity for empathy and shame. Once they label themselves as "of God" and make a show of attending church and being Christian, it absolves them of any terrible behavior. Not only because "god forgives them" but also because, in their mind, it automatically makes them a good person. It's crazy to me how many evangelicals excuse the naked greed, lying and overall grift of the people running their megachurches. I suppose it's rather convenient to convince yourself that all you have to do is attend church and proclaim faith in order to feel good about the horrible poo poo you get up to. It's basically "I can't be bad. I believe in God" Hardcore religious people of any stripe creep me the gently caress out.

I dunno if we should go full Dawkins about religion, there is a lot of progressive religious people and congregations who oppose this poo poo, the Evangelicals/Fundies are JUST more vocal. And I say that as an avowed athiest. Most certainly gently caress Fundies and Evangelicals. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Sep 22, 2021 |

On the flip side of the coin, there are churches out there that are good communities that help each other out and care for one another. On a purely local level, you get some good people who behave well to one another. Of course, that also presupposes that you're one of the "acceptable" people. The same people that happily welcome me turn around and talk about how Muslims can't be American because reasons.

Apparently, it was because passing a law banning child marriage would interfere with them trying to overturn the law legalizing same-sex marriage, so it was basically a BOGO for these creeps.

Its not the first Child Marriage law they've fought against either, and these are the same groups that push stuff like Purity Vows and other creepy stuff on their female kids.

Yes and... it is among the the means to oppress and abuse. It's difficult to untwine at this point in America because the retrenchment of the southern conservatives into the church after desegregation. The culture is built on oppression and abuse. It had a leg cut out of from under it via the struggle for civil rights and desegregation, but the dudes holding "race mixing is communism" didnt just change their minds and admit defeat after Brown v Board, the whole project metastasized into the church as it was a place it was still culturally acceptable to segregate. The larger parallel between systems of oppression is power, fear, and shame. So much of the sexual abuse was perpetuated because of the veil of shame around it. It was worse for a victim to come out against an abuser because they had cultural power and respect and the victim had none. Proust Malone fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Sep 22, 2021 |

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Dawkins "burn all religion" type. It's just the GOP especially is using it solely as a weapon and it's loving gross. You can't be holy and torture. Can't be righteous and malicious. Etc etc. I grew up in a southern baptist home and as a kid, I earnestly took the kindness aspects to heart. Be kind, be compassionate, be decent. Now, all those things are viewed by "religious" conservatives as "weakness". It's sick.

So much of American Christianity is just a really low effort way of feeling like you’re better than other people. Endless forgiveness for anything you do, and endless condemnation for everyone else. Also Evangelical Christianity really primes the pump on magical thinking. Which is why we have this wonderful post-truth society. Anybody watched the school scene from Interstellar since November ‘16? It hits a lot differently now.

it's really funny how its always, always, always projection. The talk radio crowd are always paranoically envisioning exactly these sorts of scenarios with the evil leftist governments conspiring to kill them off. Because, apparently, that's exactly what they would do.

What’s funny is a lot of your bog standard conservative types used to sneer at anti-vaxxers because it was dumb poo poo for people from Commiefornia. A few short years of Orange False God and they are ardent believers in vaccine conspiracy theories.

Breitbart posted:If I wanted to use reverse psychology to convince people not to get a life-saving vaccination, I would do exactly what Stern and the left are doing… I would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, Hey, gently caress you, I’m never getting vaccinated! What the absolute gently caress? There aren't enough  in all of time and space to come even remotely close to explaining whatever the gently caress I'd call this line of thinking if I knew more about human psychology.Liberal: "Hey buddy, put this on and pull the string in 45 seconds after you jump."

Hmm. The reference to Howard Stern makes me wonder if he's being clever. Like the Howard Stern gambit was to be so provocative that his most dedicated listeners weren't fans but rather were hate-listening, but so what, they still generate advertising revenue. (I'm not sure the extent to which this was actually true, I just hazily remember it from Private Parts.) This guy is doing the same thing, putting out some superficially dumb yet immensely provocative copy which gets good clickthrough from both the right and the left. From a purely cynical, mercenary standpoint it's A++ propaganda.

From a purely cynical, mercenary standpoint it's A++ propaganda. That's what I think, too. I think that there may be the tiniest modicum of thought put into this piece, essentially using the radical right's own language to attempt to get hesitant people to consider vaccinations when they otherwise would not read anything even close to this. I mean, I'm am pretty sure Nolte was vaccinated as soon as he could and he must recognize how much of a grift he is pulling. It somewhat resembles human decency, so there's good reason to suspect it's not the case, but for those so far gone that they're reading Breitbart regularly, maybe it makes a bit of a difference, and maybe that person gets a vaccine that they wouldn't have, and maybe that person later isn't spreading it in an airport that your cousin with a young child had to be in. It's dumb and stupid and childish, but what isn't on the right these days. If treating people like they are five helps get the population vaccinated, expect more pieces like this.

I will accept Cuomo's claim that it was a "hearty greeting" serving as "a function of being glad to see you" if we have confirmation that he did the same thing to his grandparents.

That, and the Gawker lawsuit was over invasion of privacy, not defamation. It got tossed because literally nothing in the daily beast article was false.

Brother in law is so proud of his Tom MacDonald cds he just ordered even though he only heard of him less than two weeks ago. He tells people that they need to “listen and wake up”. Watching grifting help lead to radicalization is pretty insane.
