The Southern Baptist only exist because the other Baptists were against slavery. Fuck every single one of them.

The only Southern Baptists I know were really into demonstrative shows of family unity at church, but would frequently get into massive screaming matches where they'd kick their teenage kids out of the house. They're divorced now.

Do you know the best way to keep a Southern Baptist from drinking all of your beer on your fishing trip? Invite a second Southern Baptist.

Abortion policies are a DIRECT REASON why I haven't had any more children. If I can't have guaranteed access to necessary, life-saving medical treatment (e.g. emergency abortions) then I won't put my wife's life at risk for one more child.

Southern baptists were pro-choice until the rise of the "moral majority" required southern baptists to fall in line with the catholic church on abortion to create the supply side Jesus we know today.

Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing. Though they also aren't prioritizing childbearing regardless of what they say.

Part of conservatism is the idea that "the more complex a solution is, the wronger it is."

Another part is "We should be able to control women's use of their hoo-hoos for pleasure by restricting them to being baby chambers."

Here we have a venn diagram where the circles are the same.

I was kinda annoyed at the article for not giving any details on the kinds of policies they wanted there, even something as simple as better tax credits for having kids would go a long way towards making children affordable. And yet I am sure that's not what these people are advocating for.

Any birth control

I'm getting a hysterectomy next month and I'm pumped. Having a uterus is the fucking worst.

Gtfo with your logic. We don't want your kind here.

- Jezus, probably

Because the law doesn't matter when right-wing Jesus is on your side.

Lol, you don't have to be celibate to be willfully childless. I have plenty of friends that got the snip/knot before having a kid because they don't want one. And they are some of the sluttiest motherfuckers I know (and they'd take that as the compliment it was).

Thanks for quoting this. It makes way more sense than the way I first read the headline as "Willful childishness."

It means getting an abortion when your pastor rapes you.

Yeah, predatory ads for gambling really drive me crazy. Although I'd say my reasoning for being against it is pretty different from the Baptists.

Inscribed on their swords and shields are "Won't somebody please think of the children!"

Ban birth control in your area.

Oh. I guess I read that wrong as "willful childishness" and thought they were just being kind of petty at the end.

They won't care if some of the women they hurt were genuinely trying to comply.

And since Blue States contribute more to taxes than they take, and vice versa for red, we are literally funding them dragging us back to the dark ages.

Fleeing "religious persecution" in Europe, as they called it.

The cult members just have to stop supporting the cult?!?

Look at captain obvious over here!

I'm kidding you a bit, but seriously, you're just restating the problem.

The problem is the people who do donate want all this to happen.

You can say whatever you please, but we all know it is hot air.

White Christian Conservatives are some of the most insulated-from-consequences people in the world.

I came here after being permabanned from Reddit, but I still get posts removed. I recently looked at my Mod Logs for the first time, and was surprised at how many removals I had, some for really stupid stuff that would have gone through at Reddit.

Overall, though, Lemmy is a lot more permissive, especially compared to the new, post- HitlerPig Reddit.

Welcome to lemmy. It’s a collection of federated communities. This community is hosted on lemmy.world, which employs similarly heavy-handed moderation tactics to Reddit.

However, like all lemmy instances the moderators are rather short-staffed so you’ll probably be fine unless someone goes out of their way to report your comment.

Since you brought up salad, any lettuce other than iceberg, lest we forget arugala-gate

Dancing, you left out dancing and.. fun. Short shorts, miniskirts and bikinis.

That's only because they don't have the religious law in place yet.

I just had a look at the website of the church I once went to many decades ago, and it was interesting to see how all their bigoted positions were couched in layers of euphemism about "family".

It's as though their web guy tried writing what they really believed, read it back, and thought "we can't say that out loud, it's clearly unacceptable, how do we say this without saying it?"

thier trans obsession, must because they all love watch trans porn.

Their god killed everyone who wasn't on the Ark. It's not them doing religion wrong; it's a severe case of religion.

Nah, the devil is chill. They're a Christian cult.

It's people like them that make we wish I believed in Hell.

Damn Christians, they ruined Christianity!

the sports gambling is getting out of hand, yeah

I don't think that phrase means what you think it means
