All people have to do is stop donating money to religions and the religions lose their "power".

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Perhaps the message reaches someone who needs to hear it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Maybe it needs restating over and over until people get it and act on it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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

Southern Baptists? I think you left out all their other usual targets: Catholics, spicy food, jazz, orgasms for fun, bright colors not associated with flags or maybe a football team, female orgasms, singing, alcohol, drag shows, salads with less than 51% mayonnaise content, men using umbrellas, single mothers, showing people kissing on TV or movies, Jews, Muslims, really any brown person, wasabi, mangoes, and aged cheese.

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

As long as there's 1 liter of ranch dressing per leaf of lettuce, Jesus will allow it.

Fuck your religion

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Baptist like to pick people who drank, did drugs and slept around to teach sunday school. This is no joke. They get some 'reformed' asshole with questionable decision making skills to instruct children and warn them of the dangers of having a good time.

Oh, cool! As a willfully childless person (even though I live with my partner and we have the necessary bits to try for children), I finally get to be one of the cool groups being ostracized by these stupid religious nuts. Hey Queer people! We get to hang out! Let's party!

(I've been watching porn the whole time. Just let me have my moment feeling special.)

Southern Baptists are one step better than Al Queda in my mind. They should be outlawed as an extremist group.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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?"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yep exactly.

The Southern Baptist Church is a Satanic cult. If your religion leads you to hate, you are not worshiping God, you're worshiping the Devil. They're devil worshipers, the whole lot of them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

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

As someone who left the Southern Baptist cult as soon as my brain developed, this is nothing new.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can't wait until they all burn in hell.

Sorry chuds that's not going to cure your incel problem. You can't suddenly make people produce future generations by banning what you don't like.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Please spend all your time on sports betting. Let Them Fight. Let those two rapacious vile Industries go after each other.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

They go against porn but not raw dogging to hash out clones for the glory of the empire. Wonderful.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who cares? Protestants are heretics who will burn in hell anyway. Because god hates them. Not that I'd give a fuck but it seems they do. 😁
