Ironically if these “Christians” actually followed the 10 commandments we wouldn’t be in half the mess we’re in.
And you give hegseth as an example? Why not use "pornstar fucker while your wife is pregnant and then pay her off with a lot of money to keep quiet during elections" trump?
Fun fact,
Adultery meant " to break a covenant bond'.
Doesn't just apply to marriage. No preacher will tell you that though. They don't wanna explain their actions
I didn't know about that goat, but I do remember this monstrosity from cpac.
Thou shall not kill. Umm, y'all have the death penalty.
Palestinians descended from the Bronze Age inhabitants of the Levant. Israelites later emerged from the Canaanite people (who are also strongly genetically tied to Palestinians) a thousand years later.
Just give it back to the Romans or Ottomans. These children living there today need daddy empire to keep them behaved.
All I saw was a person saying one tragedy doesn’t require us to choose to inflict another.
Instead you took the opposite tact
Guess you need to give up your house to some random people, since your ancestors weren't born here two thousand years ago.
You know, since that's what establishes who belongs where. Now GTFO.
You can tell it's a good faith argument because of the way that it is.
The Satanic Temple should have their tenets displayed then.
Which, incidentally, are all phrases in the positive.
The point of the
religionsatanic temple is to protest forced religion. It's positive from top to bottom.Which religion are you referring to?

So, same as Chritanity? It's just they ignore it
TST isn't a religion.
By what criteria?
Y'know what, TIL. I'd always thought they were more of a political entity that operated under an antagonistic (to some) name. Come to find out, though, through the magic of THE INTERNET, that they are a non-theistic new religious movement.
I would guess christian non-sense. Next they will tell me to stop worshipping the flying spaghetti monster.
That's confusing since they hold "congregation"

Alternatively the people who support this should have to explain to kindergarteners what adultery is.
I was raised in the Assemblies of God, and I'm fairly sure that I knew an age-appropriate definition of adultery by kindergarten. Something along the lines of "breaking your marriage vows by being in a romantic relationship with another person."
I definitely knew the actual definition of abortion by kindergarten because my church had fucked-up priorities.
Kids are going to ask what “breaking your marriage vows” means. Trust me, this conversation is awkward IRL with family. It would be excruciating for most with unrelated kids.
I showed my kids the Ten Commandments vs. The 7 fundy tenets.
They agree. 7 tenets > Ten Commandments.
Nazis keep your trash out of public spaces.
They're gonna be mad when a district judge tells them its unconstitutional.
Nah, that's exactly what they want, so they can then appeal to the ultra conservative Supreme Court
I don’t like to kink shame, but it’s obviously very important for the authoritarian right to repeatedly state the rules that they will be breaking in private.
Private? They break them openly, in front of everyone.
I swear I've never seen a governor who blows more of his people's money then Greg Abbott. Just constantly lighting piles of cash on fire.
As a Texan I beg to differ, it’s a very efficient transfer of wealth showing the best of ingenuity
From random taxpayers to lawyers?
Ha.. no, although I’m sure some law firms are making bank on this.
Just cover it with a pride flag.
The "10 things I hate about you" list from the Torah?
Just display them in thier original Hebrew.
In Islamic, as Abraham's God intended (according to the Quran)
In “Islamic”? Do you mean Classical Arabic?
I did mean Arabic. Guess my brain wasn't fully braining. But I'll leave it as that, because to the pearl-clutchers, it's the same anyway.
