No. In the article I read she said she no longer thinks Q is credible.

I read that she has seen the light?

Honestly, I got exposed to a bucket load of Evangelicals growing up. They are the taliban of Christianity. Of course there is a spectrum there always is. On one side of the spectrum will be the genuine loving caring person with altruistic motives. At the other end you get Pat Robertson and the private jet club narcissists. I would say that for evangelicals there is a considerable weighting towards predators. look at how evangelicals suspend all rational thought to support Trump. A significant proportion of his base are evangelicals. My OPINION is that a large part of that is the church indoctrination in evangelicals. The Mumbo jumbo of god works in mysterious ways etc.

Unfortunately religion and especially Christianity has the insane underlying principle of “faith” and the sheep are actively taught not to question anything. They prey on the vulnerable and easily manipulated. I’m pretty happy to generalise that most church leaders are predators, especially of the evangelical flavour.

I’m not sure if the accuracy as some of my aunts news sources can be dubious... Seems Covid might have released a new upgraded version https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1307599/china-disease-news-coronavirus-death-cases-latest-Kazakhstan

No it’s a victory in their minds. Proof of persecution. We will be feeding them to the lions next

Absolutely true!

No, no, no Trump doesn’t take a salary as President. Don’t you know that costs him over a billion a year?

And this is why America is screwed... Comment taken from the Hill “As my wife pointed it out, this mask thing is a ploy to install the burqa and to normalize Sharia Law.PATRIOTS, SAY “NO” TO MASKS, NO TO MANDATORY VACCINE, NO TO THE MARK OF THE BEAST.“

Exactly! I’ll at least have stories to tell when I’m old

End of a wild ride for me! Three and a half years of chaos. Shameless may as well have been a documentary of my life. In many ways a sad ending due to mental health of a person involved. But alongside it some major funny events and times. Karma also came through proving that staying within the law is always best. Some of the people who caused me massive drama and stress got done in a major police bust last week... They fucked up the life of someone very special to me and are paying a high price.

The poor oppressed Christian line in the USA makes me laugh. You can’t even elect a president who doesn’t claim to hold Christian beliefs

Oh come on. I’m not bothered to trawl through 100’s of posts. You’ve not done newbie here. Jesus we all know that Normiss is a left wing lunatic, Billvon is a tree hugger and I’m a religious hating bigot.

Well suffering the consequences could be exactly as was originally proposed. Deny them healthcare because they are ultimately costing society. So in some ways you are agreeing with him. To be clear I don’t care what religion or belief system you are from, the same would apply. Don’t put others at risk because of your selfishness. Fair enough on casting the first stone. You’ve not seen Ron’s posts? They go well beyond self Defense. From the way he writes the message he is itching for the SHTF so that right wingers can go on a killing spree. As far as self defense, I’m lucky enough to live in a country with a functional police system and without one of worst gun and violence problems in the world.

Why is the US system so skewed towards “old” white guys? Surely the demographic of the USA should support more diversity? Maybe the wave of younger people in politics and rise of social media campaigning will shift the balance. I’d be interested in your views?

First off, obeying the law of the land is actually one of the teachings of Jesus. If they are going to flout the rules they deserve the consequences. His suggestion is one that I don’t necessarily agree with. However there should be consequences. They are selfishly placing other people at risk. Maybe they should be fined heavily and the money put into subsidising the costs of the innocent people they have harmed, and if that means they lose their homes and everything they own (due to your expensive health care system) that seems reasonable to me. Secondly this cherry picking of the bible always amuses me. Didn’t Jesus teachings nullify the Old Testament it is stoning gays still acceptable? And to ask you a question in return. Where do you stand on Ron’s eagerness to shoot liberals? Is he given a pass for wanting to inflict harm on people? I haven’t heard you advocate that, but to my knowledge you haven’t smacked that down either (could be wrong I don’t read every post in every thread) But my point still stands, god seems impotent on protecting his flock

I know you’ll likely see this as Christian bashing, but isn’t god supposed to protect his flock?

In sorry Wendy. That is a really stressful and disturbing situation

There was a time not that long ago when Mercedes were known to not be that reliable, however their reputation was still a luxury car

The sad thing is that rather than making people like Ron question Q etc, they will simply attribute it to Antifa or the deep state attacking free speech and double down on their beliefs

It’s funny, I’m doing some group psychology stuff. There are two Christians who think nothing of stating their beliefs and yet there are at least two of us, who hold back on what we “really” think, so that we don’t offend them. It’s unbelievable that atheists might have empathy... In all seriousness I will stir the pot here, but my fruit loop family are totally cut out of my life. Let them believe what they want, I don’t need to hear it. As far as I’m concerned believe what you like

It is by no means limited to them, but scapegoating tends to go along with higher beings.

Well many of the people who “preach” that shit, also believe that without god it’s impossible to have a moral compass. I take it you are fully behind the idea that liberals should be shot? Anyway in the story of Jesus he turned the other cheek despite being nailed to a cross by atheists. Pity they didn’t slap him in the face I stead hey?

It is that type of response that makes me quite literally hate the duplicity of the religious. Jesus is love is love, turn the other cheek, blah, blah, blah. Its all a bunch of bullshit, so that they can blame their god or devil, but take no personal responsibility for their actions... They are driven by fear, hiding under their beds, scared of the shadows
