evangelicals being like “god made men to do This and be like This and women to do That and be like That that’s just how it is” and it’s just a picture of a white man and woman following traditional gender norms makes me so insane like you boring fascist fucks. god made 2 million species of beetles. god made whales, ducks, humans, and 1500 other species capable of same sex behavior. god made fish and amphibians that change sexes. god made more than 30 different intersex variations in human beings. god, in his infinite curiosity. wake up!!! fuck!!

“god wants women to have perfect no-makeup makeup looks and stay at home not talking back and upholding capitalism” god??? that guy who made lizards that shoot blood out of their eyes?? that guy who made salmon do whatever the fuck that is?? are you fucking crazy???

Higginson was an abolitionist who preached sermons and gave speeches denouncing slavery. This involved exactly the sort of mutton-chopped 19th-century oratory you may be imagining but, in Higginson’s case, it also involved things like running guns (and even cannon) to abolitionist settlers in Kansas. He was also one of the “Secret Six” who raised the money for John Brown’s raid at Harper’s Ferry.

You know, that makes as much sense as any other explanation I’ve heard. I like it!

Jerusalem cross, yes. It’s got a long history, but in the recent years it’s been badly coopted by fuckwits raring for a new “crusade”. Violent far-right bozos, in other words.

Right wingers love doing that, because they are too uncreative to come up with their own symbols. Plus, I guess it shows their belief that what they do has precedence in history, and is thus legitimate. :roll_eyes:

Omfg, where is that puke emoji? “True prophet Donald (puke) Trump (gag, puke)”? This needs to end, people need to resist and teject. I worry that he (or, more dangerously, his followers) will go nuclear if the special elections don’t go his way.

A man who walked up to the pulpit at the church he’d grown up in, Holy Spirit Catholic Church in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, a few minutes before last Sunday’s 11 a.m. Mass was soon wrestled to the ground by four parishioners, including a deacon. Jimbo Gillcrist had just started to recite his own version of the “Our Father,” and to say how we’re all God’s children. He had intended to talk to his fellow Catholics about care for the migrant, but he didn’t get to before being taken down, marched out and handcuffed by OP police. “I thought the worst that could happen is maybe they’d try to shout me down and ask me to leave,” Gillcrist told me in an interview on Friday. “I in no way thought I’d be tackled in a church.”

MAGA worships Barabbas

Luke 23:18-23

18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!” 19 (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”

22 For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”

23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed.

Resistance fighter against the Roman occupation or obscure religious nut? Tricky choice.
