I wish conservative women would shut up as much as they ask other women to.

Ephesians 5:25 is underrated

Shouldn't she be at home shitting out kids and not telling people what to do then? Is the faith office composed entirely of women?

DESTROY ALL ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY.

not fucking kidding. this is my line in the sand. i grew up in the bible belt south. i know exactly where this goes: centuries of prolonged human suffering. i will not stand to see this ignorance grow. it should have been squashed in the southern US at the height of liberal thought last century. it will only get worse if left unchecked.

buy guns you fucking cowards. this shit is NOT acceptable.

ALL ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS

With the competition removed, Shintoism soon spread across the face of the globe.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 56 minutes ago

Hypothetically if a nation did eradicate its major religion with armed violence, missionaries going there would be a bold move indeed.

Before I was banned, my highest up-voted post on Reddit was a clip of this woman babbling in tongues for God to intervene in the 2020 election.

HAHA fucking found it! I challenge you to watch it and not laugh.

Arguably Trump’s most ardent supporters, Pentecostal-charismatic faith-based media moguls have enjoyed unprecedented access to the White House during Trump’s tenure. In return, they have showered the president with praise and loyalty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaking_in_tongues

Speaking in tongues, also known as glossolalia, is an activity or practice in which people utter words or speech-like sounds, often thought by believers to be languages unknown to the speaker. One definition used by linguists is the fluid vocalizing of speech-like syllables that lack any readily comprehensible meaning. In some cases, as part of religious practice, some believe it to be a divine language unknown to the speaker.[1] Glossolalia is practiced in Pentecostal and charismatic Christianity,[2][3] as well as in other religions.[4]

EDIT: Also, someone on that page you linked to did a cat version:

I was banned for up voting this image:

[–] AniZaeger@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I got banned for suggesting that government officials who violate people's constitutional right to due process and get them killed as a result would be prosecuted for capital murder. Apparently, that's "inciting violence". I appealed it, simply to say "fuck spez", and promptly deleted my account.

He's the hype man. The Flava Flav of Prosperity Theology.

You missed your stop. You were supposed to step off at 1930s Germany, right? Well, now we’re already headed towards medieval Spain. You might like the inquisition though.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 28 points 10 hours ago

"I'm up here working on the initiatives for President [Trump], who's been in ministry for 40 years and understands it," she insisted.

WTF? Show ANY evidence at all of 40 years of HitlerPig's "ministry," specifically anything BEFORE he decided to run for president.

How the everloving fuck does she know what God wants?

[–] tal@lemmy.today 11 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (7 children)

It's from a passage in the Bible.

Ephesians 5:22-24:

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.  For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.  Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

My mom used to force us to go to church all the time, but she finally stopped when the pastor did a sermon on that one.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 19 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That was written by a human, not God.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, yes, but a divinely-inspired human, no doubt, acting on God's will to relay His message.

https://biblehub.com/topical/t/the_power_of_divine_inspiration.htm

Divine inspiration is a foundational concept in Christian theology, referring to the process by which God imparts His wisdom and guidance to humanity. This inspiration is most notably associated with the authorship of the Bible, where human writers were moved by the Holy Spirit to convey God's truth. The power of divine inspiration is evident in the transformative impact of Scripture, its enduring relevance, and its ability to guide believers in faith and practice.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Like I said, written by a human. The rest, like the entire Bible, or even religion itself, is also a human construct.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Written by a schizophrenic human

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Maybe, but a lot was written by neolithic goatherders telling stories to pass the time, in an age before Netflix. One guy had a good aptitude for making up good stories, and they got passed down.

If being a sub is her kink, she can do that. If she likes being a sub, why is she so bossy?

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

If she likes being a sub, why is she so bossy?

In my experience, those are always the ones who get off on being subby.

[–] Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Ofc Trump has a fucking faith office. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he tried implementing biblical laws like some type of Christian version of Sharia law, or called for teaching creationism as fact in schools.

[–] AcidicBasicGlitch@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

100% this is definitely what he's going to do. Use Christianity as a weapon, and cite things like this and the prosperity gospel, then ignore any of the messages of Christ. None of that Jesusy stuff you know?

I grew up in the Bible belt, and had some truly awful experiences with people like this that made me distance myself from identifying as a Christian for a long time. I didn't want to go to church and be around these kinds of people, but I realized I never stopped believing in the importance of the beautiful messages I learned literally from as early as I can remember.

The book of Matthew talks about Jesus passing through a city and someone asking him, of all of the information in the old testament, what is the most important to remember? Jesus answers the question by summarizing the 10 commandments into 2:

The first is love thy God with all thy heart, all thy soul, and all thy mind. The second is like unto it, love thy neighbor as thyself.

Literally a message straight from Jesus telling you, if you take away nothing else from this book, then remember these two things. JD Vance has tried to publicly argue that the second part isn't really something you necessarily have to agree with as a Christian. This is so very important to remember when they try to use Christianity as a weapon, and something I've thought about a lot.

The first message is love thy God with everything you are. The second, is like unto it (it goes without saying), love thy neighbor as thyself.

If you believe God created man in his image, and you truly love him with your entire heart, your entire mind, and your entire soul, then you must also strive to have that same love for yourself because you recognize you are part of God's creation.

In order to truly love God with everything you are, it goes without saying you must also love your neighbor and recognize your neighbor is also part of God's creation.

She needs to get back in the kitchen and make some sandwiches and be seen and not heard.
