Yet Another MAGAmaniacle Monster Postures As A Beacon Of Moral Clarity And Authority

Image
In the comments, under this news story: [ Link ]   IndyStar   Watch as two Indiana pastors on opposing ends of the spectrum on Christian Nationalism debate the role Christianity should have in governing and society. In this segment, they take on the question," What role do Christian morals play in policy?"" A MAGA pedo-enabling, racism-sheltering, Christian-fascist wrote: "Matthias claimed that we can’t force morality through laws when that is precisely what laws are intended to do, e.g. murder and theft are illegal. " - Elijah Condellone -- My reply:  No. Those laws are not predicated on "forcing morality" onto anyone. Instead, it's based on "consent of the governed" and democracy, NOT moral-authoritarianism. In America (a secular nation), laws are an attempt to maximize good health and good function for citizens. They are based on this idea: Preventing people from stealing from or sabotaging other people's lives.  That's it...

Fine. Here we are, ... again. That being said, let's look back, as we move forward. In the past, ... I've honestly tried ... to be "godly" enough ... to lie habitually. I understand being "godly" is quite a compliment for Christians. But as I matured beyond it, I came to realize: LYING is pointlessly risky, and, ultimately, exhaus...

"The Bible" vs Christians vs Homosexuality

Under this video: [Which, to my ears and eyes, has a very "a.i." feel to it]  Various culture-war ring, Christian-religious fundamentalists condemned and dismissed her as a heretic for her acceptance of homosexuals.  In other words, "We don't have to listen to your hippie liberal calls for compassion, because being TOO loving is something only Satan wants us to do. And your views about THE GAYS are proof of that! Thus, we rebuke thee in the name of our LORD, who plans to torture the gays (and also you!) forever for being yucky!" Here is a directly related video (of a globally renowned cognitive scientist) explaining why scientifically illiterate  (and impulsively emotional)  people keep mistaking their own personal sense of disgust as a reliable moral compass: Yes, I realize that the vast majority of moral-authoritarian gay-bashers also reject evolution.  However, there's an easy solution for that here. I invite those people to re-watch this video, and to me...
