I am slandering religion and enjoying it.

When you see what the Ivangelical leaders say or do (group hugs for tRump) and allow their fellow ministers to say, I think you're overlooking a lot. For people who supposedly support the separation of church and state, they sure spend a lot of time telling politicians what to do.

@Tiramisu And yourself as well.

@Tiramisu, @RonWilliam53 Can you give examples? Remember, this is about Baptists.

@WilliamFleming [hillreporter.com] [salon.com]

@RonWilliam53 The Post is about the Southern Baptist Convention.

The link you provided refers to the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka Kansas, a known hate group that is denounced by Baptists.

[en.m.wikipedia.org]

Blatant stereotyping is at play here.

Three words: Olympic Bomber, etc.

@Beowulfsfriend According to the Olympic Bomber, he is Catholic. Those who have delved further into the topic classify him as an extremist Christian.

Southern Baptists don't believe in drinking, dancing and card playing. Although where I live is primarily Southern Baptists, they got the best craft breweries I've ever been in and support dancing in the street during their free summer concert series, Jazz on Ram Cat Alley.

Haven't seen anyone playing cards. No problem in buying a pack of cards.

Yet.

Yes, the Evangelical leaders very much are calling for the extermination of gays, trans, abortionists, atheists. They have actually written a manifesto calling for the conscription of all able bodied men to carry out this genocide of anyone who does not submit to their God

I disagree. I worked with a 'born again" He could not wait to get his hands on a Uzi and wipe the rest of out at the "end times.

Bet you won't spend much time in front of an abortion clinic without wearing a bullet-proof vest.

@starwatcher-al He could not wait to get his hands on a Uzi and wipe the rest of out at the "end times.

That "thou shall not kill" thingie mabob didn't work all that well?

@BeingNobody They have actually written a manifesto . . . .

I'd like to read that. Source?

And control!

I think there is a bit of both but the left aren't instituting political policies while the right is clearly making it easier for the religious to persecute others.

@LimitedLight To a degree, since the left is worse. For years left students have been dictating which speakers can speak on college campuses, which staff should be fired for not meeting their protocol, which college groups should be permitted to openly advertise, etc. That's a bigger issue.

@LimitedLight There's been plenty of coverage of it. I primarily take note of atheist conservative author Heather Mac Donald being challenged on college campuses by students. There are many other speakers who have been challenged.

Absolutely! Don't tell women what to do with their body! Don't be Nazis! Don't put children in cages! We lefties are so pushy!

@repubatheists If you saw it on FOX or any rightwing media, you did't see it. You were fed their bullshit.[futurefemaleleader.com]

@RonWilliam53 RonWilliam53 makes the case and point to the leftist dogma.

@repubatheists What leftist dogma? That women should have rights, too? That brown people are actually human beings ?That wars for resources are bad things? That the environment matters? And "challenged"? You mean their racist crap getting called out? Such poor snowflakes you cons are. I bet the poor Nazis in Charlotteville have your thoughts and prayers. They just wanted to beat up minorities and run over women and they got "challenged".

@RonWilliam53 Someone is triggered

I hang out with Muslims. None of them ever cut my head off. Last few synagogue massacres and the black church massacre was done by XIANS. And yes, radical Islam is dangerous but look up all the wonderful Christians who cheered the Islamic attack on that Florida gay club.

@RonWilliam53 I don't go to church and I am not gay ( Not that there's anything wrong with it). I guess IamSafe

@IamNobody Stay away from yoga. Or random schools, mosques,women or minorities. Rightwing shooters ain't always accurate

@RonWilliam53 Remaind me again please who shot Steve Scalise?.... Dude, we can do this all day. The only point I want to adress is that we may not be the perfect society (far from it) but to compare against the taliban.... C'mon, seriously???

Oh...but those stories are not the "true" god......true christians don't listen to those pagan stories. Na na nananana....hummmmmmm.

@HankSherman
Especially since all their sainted holidays were pagan celebrations!

@of-the-mountain nananananana.....hummmmmmmm lol yeah, but their selective hearing is monumental as in the three monkeys

And in other cults, considered child abuse......the christians really don't like someone stealing their methods.
