You say Jesus was crucified for you, but forget that your ancestors were hanged, burned alive, buried alive by people who preached the gospel of Jesus.
@butthisisshort@gaughen Wouldn’t need so many food stamps if we just supported the poor far more efficiently through charities, the way it used to be done.
@Kevin__Or@gaughen wouldn't need so much charity if they didn't keep fucking everyone over with their laws
cut food stamps, cut healthcare, fuck immigrants
everything jesus wanted
Jesus: "The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."
Christian nationalists: "What did you just say, libtard?! Now you listen here, and listen real good... 😡"
@semitic_jew White perpetrators are the largest group of mash shooters, but usually proportional to their representation in the population. Black males on the other hand are by far the most dangerous and violent group in the United States.
Young white males are disproportionately represented in acts of mass shootings & domestic terrorism.
They comprise 7% to 9% of the total U.S. population yet they account for 52% of all mass shootings in America.
Notably, this demographic is often not perceived as violent or dangerous to society, whereas young black males have been inaccurately portrayed as the embodiment of violence and subjected to racist sterotypes & excessive policing.

They deserve expensive Emergency services? Do you know them? What makes them so deserving? If you feel like donating to their well-being, I think that's wonderful. I do quite a bit of that myself. That's entirely different from claiming that something is a right that someone else paid for.
@TheSkepticWiz Yes, I definitely have. Because I go to church on Sunday. How about you, have you talked to a lot of people about this? It's certainly true that some people following their parents footsteps. But I have met many, many who were not raised in the Christian faith. People like me.
Oh really? Have you ever stopped to ask when most people actually join a religion? It’s usually one of two moments:
1. Childhood indoctrination: When beliefs are taught before a child can critically evaluate them, making faith feel like the ‘default’ rather than a free choice.
2. Emotional vulnerability: When someone is at their weakest point-lost, depressed, or searching for meaning and religion offers comfort more than evidence.
That doesn’t mean people don’t feel sincere in their faith, but sincerity isn’t the same as independence. A choice made under pressure or conditioning is very different from a choice made in full freedom using critical thinking and skepticism.
@jonjonbailey40@Kevin__Or@tafphorisms No. What would that even look like? Healthcare can be extremely expensive. Somebody had to discover and manufacture drugs and equipment. Somebody had to train to become a doctor.
@RobinDinVienna@Kevin__Or@RichardAngwin Batteries are expensive.
10 watts continuous requires about 1 square meter of solar panel and 1000 Wh of storage battery, costing about $1000.
10 watts is barely enough for one LED light 💡.
Thank you for the input, professor highbrow. But you may want to learn more about hydropower before you tell everyone how great batteries are at storing large amounts of energy. Regardless, that doesn’t change the fact that solar is dependent upon daylight, cloud cover etc. Wind power is dependant on, well the wind, not to mention how many birds you are comfortable killing.
@Kevin__Or@RichardAngwin Thanks to battery storage, that is of course being built up at the same time (just as much as oil and gas doesn't just get used but stored in between) and other tricks that the grid already posesses, it is very much available 24/7. This is such a brain dead WRONG argument.
