Peace be with you.

@Brcremer Another day. Another fabricated straw man.

One of the most blatant forms of Christian hypocrisy in our time is Christians holding all ordinary people accountable to the most rigid moral standards while simultaneously holding themselves and their preferred politicians accountable to no standards at all.

@MwenjaMuhoro “Religious belief isn’t natural, it’s indoctrinated.” Which is a very good thing when done right.

Children are born atheists. They don’t believe in gods until someone teaches them. Religious belief isn’t natural, it’s indoctrinated.

@Brcremer This guy writes the damnedest gibberish.

@Brcremer This guys produces a new straw man every day. It’s just the voices in your head, Rev.!

It's such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, "This might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!" and "Jesus might be retuning soon!" instead of "look at how much people are suffering” and “how can we stop this injustice?"

Everything is getting better. Everybody keeps insisting otherwise.

@revpaulwhite Who in the hell is advocating this? Nobody.

I have never claimed to be a theologian but I do have two degrees in theology and have been a priest for 17 years. NOWHERE in the bible or in any serious theology I have ever read are Christians told that we should start wars to hasten the return of Jesus. This is a perversion of our faith.

@Brcremer This guy slays a couple of straw men every day.

@PrishaMosley Uh, shouldn’t that have been obvious from the start?

I wish my doctors had been honest with me about all of the effects of transition. I wish I had known I’d be dealing with health problems 10 years down the line.

@ChristopherHale The poor are fat in America!

America’s most famous Catholic comedian Stephen Colbert put it well: “If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to just pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that he commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it.” substack.com/home/post/p-18…

@micyoung75 This is strawman exponential. You’re just making shit up. Nothing remotely like what you’re talking about is happening. It’s just social media fabrication.

Christian nationalists keep insisting America was founded as a "Christian nation" by men who all believed exactly like them. History says otherwise. Most Founders belonged to churches. But the architects of the republic were a mix. Jefferson cut the miracles and resurrection out of the New Testament and kept the ethics. Paine wrote The Age of Reason, a broadside against organized Christianity. Washington spoke of "Providence" and the "Great Architect" and rarely took communion. Adams died a Unitarian who rejected the Trinity. They were not secret atheists. They were culturally Christian men who had watched religious wars tear Europe apart and said, "Not here." So they wrote a Constitution with no religious test and a First Amendment that bars an established church. The tent was built big on purpose. The point is not that every Founder could pass an evangelical litmus test. It is that they chose liberty of conscience over religious uniformity. A confident republic tells that story instead of airbrushing the record to win a culture war.

@SCHUGARandspice @AmericaFirstMo1 @Riley_Gaines_ Being mentally ill is bad for your health. Engaging in prostitution and perverted sex is also very bad for your health and life span.

@AmericaFirstMo1 @Riley_Gaines_ Do me a favor and look up the life expectancy and murder rates for trans women

“Threats toward trans people are threats toward all women.” They literally just string words together and hope we're all too stupid to realize what they're saying makes zero sense

@Riley_Gaines_ What are these threats?

@Joseph_Fasano_ You are really stupid. You’re one of those strange people who imagine that they are saying something profound when you are actually saying nothing.

The aim of totalitarianism is not only to keep you uneducated but to instill in you a contempt for the educated, and thus a hatred of education, so that you never, through the empowerment of education, develop the language even to articulate your discontent to yourself.

@isaiah_bb This is just made up shit.

The creation of the evangelical voting block - a group of people whose ideology is not based on their religion, and who will vote however their church-leaders tell them to - is one of the most impressive, and most damaging American political projects in history.

@Brcremer What a sanctimonious a-hole you are.

It really should be a little difficult to sign up to vote.

@Brcremer Nobody is doing this.

@AntiWokeMemes Making a pain the ass out of himself everywhere he goes.

@Chris4Perkins2 This is real stupid, Chris.

When I say that maga aren't Christians, I say that by observing their actions. No true Christians would vote for a man that encapsulates every bad thing the Bible warns against. He's committed every deadly sin. Broken all the commandments. Yet, they say he was sent by God.

@RealHousewifeMi @JeffersonPerki5 14 blue states require no ID to vote. There’s your proof.

@JeffersonPerki5 Show proof it isn’t

I don’t know about y’all, but I want to live in a country where every American has the opportunity to vote — and where the people in power aren’t actively trying to suppress the votes of those they disagree with.
