A Congresswoman Cried Begging Colleagues to Vote Against a Same-Sex Marriage Bill

racocn8 comments on Dec 11, 2022:

Virtue signaling of the worst (hate-based) kind. Does she feel the same way about adulterers? Does she realize that, as a woman, by Christian scripture, she has no business being in Congress. It's the ugliest sort of hypocrisy to use a bible as a brick while knowing nothing about its real contents. Maybe she's a closet lesbian?

racocn8 comments on Dec 11, 2022:

Most people have an inkling of the cruelty and damage done by religious people. However, if people grasped more than this inkling... Even though people hear about the many atrocities, mass murders, and genocides, the sheer breadth and scope of evil-doing done in the name of Jesus is mind-boggling and incomprehensible. A million people and counting are dead from Covid because Evangelicals think Trump is the Chosen One. A million people, mostly black and brown are rotting in our prisons because of Christian lies. The whole of Christian evil is white-washed for the sake of getting-along, and preserving Christmas greed. Christianity may be merely one of many poisonous religions, but it's place in Western culture has generated one obscenity after another and threatens the whole species. The stupidity of humanity in giving religious people a pass and failing to confront them will likely be our epitaph.

Per Wikipedia: Legutko said in 2014 that same-sex marriage is an "unnecessary, destructive experiment." He has argued that "homophobia" is "a stick with which you beat people who dare to raise any kind of objection" and "a totally fictitious problem" and claimed that "Christians are the group that have been most discriminated against". The Alexander Hamilton Forum at Middlebury College in Vermont, USA, invited Legutko to give a lecture on his book The Demon in Democracy on 17 April 2019.[10] In response, an online protest letter by Middlebury College students and faculty urged the college to cancel the invitation, citing Legutko's views on homosexuality, race, and religion."

Acupuncture is certainly a perplexing practice. Animal bodies do not appear to have physical correlates to the meridians thought to give rise to the acupuncture points. However, instruments exist that localize the points by measuring a change in impedance. But what does that come from? https://www.e-jar.org/journal/view.php?doi=10.13045/jar.2018.00080 Limb regeneration in insects and amphibians makes use of similarly invisible fields or gradients. Transplanted limbs that are rotated disrupt these 'morphogenic' gradients so as to produce supernumerary limbs. How does that work? Some mechanisms have been proposed... The point being that medical science evolves and works to know more, knowing it doesn't know everything. These debunkers keep asking for a mechanism. The problem is that, like the acupuncturists, they start with the answer they BELIEVE and contrive their own cherry-picked evidence or debunking to back up their view. That's what makes debunkers members of the debunking cult. Per Google: "Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes may stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being." Perhaps acupuncture is nothing more than stimulating the release of endorphins, and indeed, naloxone has been shown to block the effects of acupuncture. But if acupuncture is a scam, what is naloxone doing? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/187888/ Also from Google: "Acupuncture can be used on all species of animals, and has documented efficacy on a wide range of species, including elephants, cattle, horses, dogs, cats, monkeys, and rabbits. However, it tends to be more frequently used in companion animal species such as the horse, dog and cat." @AnneWimsey, @Lorajay, @barjoe

The Constitution disappeared a long time ago. We all know about 14-3's injunction against those engaging in sedition.

But not one, NOT ONE person has been tried and convicted of what is surely the most televised and recorded coup. (most of them got slaps on the wrist) How about the corruption of the 2nd Amendment? Where is that effing filibuster? How about who gets to vote - - land-owning males only... Revering wisdom is a good thing, and the Constitution is that. But let's face it, it is 240 years old, badly corrupted, and seriously out of date. Not that our society has the maturity nor integrity to consider a revision. So, we are stuck with a bad joke but the joke is on us. Trump is a dangerous puppet, but his outrageous BS is just more stick-in-the-liberal-eye virtue-signaling to his fellow Christian fascists.

The bigots seek to keep the playing field tilted in their favor, so vandalism is hardly comparable to the ugliness they practice. More specifically, they now FOCUS on cruelty. They heartily endorse the kidnapping practiced by DHS under Trump and the litany of other immoral behaviors he encouraged. In Canada, many of the church buildings associated with the killing of indigenous children were burned. This culture war is now a real war where women can no longer get ordinary medical treatment and will DIE as a result.

Our understanding of how life developed completely negates Genesis and, by extension, The Fall and the claimed reason for Jesus. Without Original Sin to propitiate, the need for a savior goes poof. Even if a god was the 'cause' of the Big Bang, that tells us absolutely nothing about it's means, motive or hopes. Prostrating ourselves with worship has no meaning other than to expose our fear of death. Our existence IS magical from our pathetic subjective experience of it, and yet nothing truly magical has ever been found. How is that for paradox?
