Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

By Nurb's standard, anyone who believes the Bible is a fascist.
You atheists are all the same.
Sat Jul 20 2024 20:44:43 EDT from Nurb432Ok i know i said i was done, but one last comment, then i'm done with your nonsense.
Numbnuts may not be up on the latest, but as far as I can tell troons and Mooseslimes are battling it out for the top of the oppression stack, Then women are clawing back some lost ground (thanks, J. K. Rowling!), gay men next, and lesbians at the bottom because nobody cares about lesbians outside of porn stereotypes.
I think since the 50s a lot of oppressed groups, including those, have made strides. ( even ones who did not choose thier path, like handicapped people ) However, for some it may be short lived as their ( un-appointed ) spokespeople are radicals, which ultimately only hurts the cause. They end up influencing the unformed masses, thinking that the entire group are butt-head jerks, and then dislike them all when there was really no cause to do so. The backlash comes after that, and all ground made before that is lost, and sometimes, and are forcefully purged. Now with DEI here, the backlash is going to even be worse. Its one thing with some non-representative outliers yelling and screaming, but now the government got involved, which is wrong, it will impact even those who ignored it.
Some previously oppressed and murdered groups, such as the Wiccans and pagans, ( many of my friends are ) learned this over the eons the hard way with death and suffering at the hands of 'traditional religious' people who feel they are better and must command how other people think and act, ( or they kill you ). So they have kept quiet and to themselves. In effect shown the world they are of no concern to anyone. They have their ways and dont interfere with yours. So over time, they are mostly forgotten, and no one even thinks about them so they are left alone to do their thing. And yes, that is how it should be, "ok, you are an x, ok, whatever, can you fix my car, or write this code, fly this plane, or even just make me a coffee?" Or i guess do targeted porn, if you are into that, its a pseudo-free country after all. All that should matter is what you (can) do, not what you are.

I find whining about "traditional religion" as petty and pathetic as all the other whining from the SJW/DEI crowd.
If they were not death squads hiding behind 'morals' ...

Actually, now that i think about more, i wonder if our new
friend here, with how much he hates people that make their own
Ummm ... are you aware that he's not new here? Changed screen names recently but not new.
Nope, i just go by the name that was new. Doesn't change my feelings tho.

The current state religion is homosexuality.
It's part of what brother Jim calls a "holiness spiral" -- in the sense that everyone on the bad side is trying to be more anti-holy than everyone else.
And it happens pretty fast. That's how you end up with all of the debauchery on one side of the political spectrum and all of the people who just want to serve a loving and peaceful God on the other.
Speaking of false religions, yesterday my mom came home from church and talked about how wonderful it was that several of their youth "consecreated themselves to the blessed virgin" -- whatever the hell that means. She was disappointed that I was not excited about it and when she asked me why I was able to temper my reaction to "it's a catholic thing"
What I wanted to tell her was:
1. Mary stopped being a virgin after Jesus was born. She had sex with Joseph and bore more children.
2. The "queen of heaven" figure in the catholic "church" isn't Mary, it's the pagan goddess Semiramis. She appears in one form or another in almost all pagan religions.
But catholics get very bent out of shape when you tell them that, and it's already enough of a shitshow over here right now.
Hmmm not heard that one before either.
But with the talk of 'The virgin Mary' i could see that being a label, and not looking at the bigger picture.

"consecreated themselves to the blessed virgin"

There was a time when most Americans opposed homosexuality. Do you
consider them all fascists?
Fascists are actually people who is socially conservative but want socialism for economical matters.
2. The "queen of heaven" figure in the catholic "church" isn't Mary,
it's the pagan goddess Semiramis. She appears in one form or another
in almost all pagan religions.
I thought the current popular image of Mary was made to order.
Since he said 'came home from church' i was not thinking pagan or similar.. Not that i'm an expert but only christian style of virgin i know of is Mary.
Can confirm, and that Vatican II was a mistake.
"I am a buttress of the Church rather a pillar; I support it from without."

Belief, is a personal thing, do it or don't, great, more power to you and you should have the right to do so. ( just don't harass or kill others that don't agree with your version ). Even get together with your buddies to talk about the octopus if you like. ( and ill be nice today and wont say why i think people believe in the octopus )
But this formal organized religion stuff, its a scam. Much like government, it was invented to take advantage of the situation, to fleece and control the believers, and eradicate outsiders who wont pay up.
