There are really no distinctions between the two in practice except for the fact that Islamic fundamentalists get to let their fundamentalist freak flag fly high out in the open given they typically live in regressive and oppressive countries whereas Christian fundamentalists have to contend with things like: "rights for others" and shit in the West (like restraining orders, etc.) hence coming after even things like divorce since fundamentalists have no problem trapping their partner into a lifelong relationship they may no longer want to be in because women are property and men have a right to be married and have kids, I guess, because their silly religions said so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 hippity hoppity, women are property I tried to fit "the gays must die" in there but it didn't fit the scheme. I've actually been curious about why religious people hate gay people so much. Surely, there must have been a twisted logic behind it at some point, even if it's totally lost now. My theory is that gay/queer people don't play by the rules of the established power structure, therefore they must be squashed/silenced/killed/ostracized. Essentially "because your existence doesn't revolve around reproduction, you're an unknown quantity in terms of your priorities and we need to keep people shackled to reproduction." In other words, "we can predict the behavior of people who have children, we can't predict the behavior of people who don't." I love how these asshats pick and choose the parts of the bible/quran that conveniently fit around their power structure. You could make an argument that the Old Testament says women shouldn't wear jewelry. The Old Testament kind of also condemns all disabled people to hell by saying no man with disfigurements or whatever shall approach God (the meaning of that verse reaaaalllly depends on which translation was used for that one, I'm pretty sure it's been sanitized over time) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 It actually just occured to me that, in the most literal translation, Greg Abbott is going to hell and there's nothing he can do about it. The bible does state (more or less depending on which version you read) that disabled people shall not appear before God or whatever. Dan Crenshaw also fits the bill. In as much of a literal interpretation of the Bible as you can get, both of them are excluded from heaven. It just goes to show how people use religion when it's convenient for their purposes and ignore it when it isn't. That's why I tend to trust people more who aren't religious. There's no smokescreen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 He might as well be a Republican at this point. As EPA prepares to roll out new power plant rules, Manchin says he'll vote against agency's nominees - WV MetroNews WVMETRONEWS.COM Manchin: 'I will oppose all EPA nominees until they halt their government overreach.' Quote “This Administration is determined to advance its radical climate agenda and has made it clear they are hellbent on doing everything in their power to regulate coal and gas-fueled power plants out of existence, no matter the cost to energy security and reliability,” stated Manchin, a Democrat who chairs the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Manchin said in response, “I will oppose all EPA nominees until they halt their government overreach.” In a briefing with West Virginia reporters on Wednesday, Manchin had more to say. “They’re crazy. Totally insane. I can’t clean this up any better than that,” the senator said, elaborating that a reliable electric grid still requires coal production. “Why can’t this administration understand ‘no means no.’ You’ve got to have it reliable. Coal is basically dispatchable; it runs 24-7. OK, we have renewables. I’m for everything. I’m just not for taking off what I’ve got to have just because you want something you want to have that doesn’t do the job.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
