Fuck’s sake.
MATTHEW 6:5
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
He’s a sinner.
Dude that guy’s face just looks like pure evil. If I saw him in a movie, I’d immediately know he was the villain.
I don’t know if this really happens, but his face looks like it got that way from scowling and laughing at the same time for the last 50 years.
So like, resting villain face?
Totally. I see him in leather in some vague future dystopia hoarding some resource or having three lines before the hero kills his henchmen
Hormones influence genexpression, so yeah.
Are you saying there are hormones for “evil gender”?
More like scummy people often look scummy. Would you trust your little sister to him? Prejudice is sometimes unfair but oftentimes self-protection.
One of the most pertinent and most ignored passages in that book
The Gospel of Matthew was written for a Jewish audience, so that’s saying a lot.
Hey if youre gonna bray it, spray it, and play it, you should obey it if you dont wanna come off as some giant hypocrite
Thou cannot force my people to remix a new soul for heaven against their will.
if anyone thinks this is acceptable behavior in any house of legislation, substitute what is happening here with an islamic call to prayer and prayer session.
did your opinion change? why is it okay that christians can do this and no one else?
You won’t really get to them that way. They’ll retort with something like, “Well, the Pledge of Allegiance says ‘One nation under God’, not under Allah” and they’ll high five and shoot some kids.
why is it okay that christians can do this and no one else?
Because they’re the correct ones. Duh. It wouldn’t be acceptable for Muslims to do it because it would be bringing demonic forces into our houses of government…
Or something, I dunno, I haven’t been a Christian for 20+ years.
Well my version of Christianity isn’t like the thousands of others, or the one this senator belongs to, so it’s still demonic.
Am I crazy or does he looks like Trump and Elon Musk fused together?
I was going to say a demon in a skin suit, but that doesn’t change from the comparison that you made.
The stuff nightmares are made of
The version of The Fly that nobody wanted
Almost spit my coffee out when I saw this. Bravo.
Bizarre how exactly he looks like that wretched combination
More like the actor Robert Patrick having a severe anaphylactic reaction.
Wow. I just had to click on a link on an article to find the video (because why embed… that’s crazy talk) to be taken to a tweet that contained a tiktok video.
This experience could only be improved if the tiktok video was a person summarizing a reddit post.
What a world.
And that Reddit post was talking about a Facebook post.
His face looks like he drinks the blood of newborn for breakfast.
He looks like alcoholic Mr Potato Head was stung by a bee.
I thought it was elon musk at first lol.
That is an insult too alcoholic Mr. Potato Heads around the world.
I went to a Pentacostal church many years ago and one time they had a group session to practice speaking in tongues. It’s absolute horseshit.
You can tell it’s horseshit because if they were actually performing the miracle of Speaking in Tongues that they claim to be you would be able to understand whatever they’re babbling about regardless of what language you speak. If they were genuinely doing it you probably shouldn’t even be able to tell unless someone who speaks a completely different language comes along and says something like, “Wow, it’s crazy that this congregation prays in Swahili,” or whatever.
Noted. Learn Esperanto, go to their church, speak it. Become their leader
I go to a progressive church. We laugh at this kind of shit. It’s such a joke.
And the rest of us laugh at you guys who think a progressive church is any less batshit crazy than speaking in tongues.
It must be reassuring to see the world in simple absolutes.
Do you also go to a diet Jesus church?
I don’t get it.
Most things aren’t absolute, but being able to recognize that some things are absolutely nuts and worth ridiculing because of the amount of harm and suffering they cause, is kind of reassuring.
Yeah like “sky daddy helps me!”
A progressive church is one where we light it on fire. That’s progress!
I grew up with two parents who are always engaging in glossolalia. They’ll swear black and blue it’s a language that connects them with god. To them it’s not complete horseshit. But it is.
I certainly thought it had to be just some normal prayer or maybe a Latin chant, but no. Its all of them independently and incoherently muttering to their god while kneeling over the state seal. Separation of church and state is long dead it seems.
Hey! I don’t hate God. I hate that people take the fiction as literal.
Idk, if their God created people like that then I do kinda hate that God too.
:P
If God is responsible for even a percent of what they all claim he has done, then God is a giant dick. And that’s the understatement of eternity.
How people can think the story of the great flood - very nearly the greatest possible act of genocide followed by an explicit instruction to commit multiple generations of obligate incest- is some kind of uplifting story that’s somehow appropriate for children is beyond me.
But… there’s animals!
Ain’t no “kinda” about it here. They and their non-existent god can eat my entire ass.
We should do all republican laws in tongues!
…yeah my wife needs an abortion…oh they are illegal? Can you show me on the law where it says that? No?
Man walks into a psychiatrist office. He tells the doctor he speaks in an unknown dialect to a “god”. Is this person committed to an
insane asylum?psychiatric institution? Why or why not??72 hour psych hold at minimum and definitely not allowed any government job
Certainly. It’s a delusion.
Considering insane asylums don’t exist anymore that would be a no. But yes, they should probably be prescribed a mandatory stay at a psychiatric facility.
So since insane asylum is not used anymore, you couldn’t go ahead fill it in with psychiatric facility? The pedantry never ends
They have different connotations. The words we use are important. We don’t refer to people as “retarded” anymore either for a similar reason.
In the US, unless he’s a real direct threat to themselves or someone else’s safety, they would not be detained. People are allowed to be insane as long as they aren’t imminently a real direct threat to anyone’s safety.
What if they’re running around nude? Or screaming threatening profanities or making offensive gestures? Many other symptoms could accompany psychotic dillusions which would lead to being involuntarily committed
I agree that they should be hospitalized in that case, but more than likely, they would be arrested in the US.
Man, all this speaking in tongues talk lately is giving me PTSD. Next they’ll be getting “drunk in the holy spirit”. Every time they pulled this shit at church, I wished my mom would have chosen abortion instead
Sounds more entertaining than growing up Mormon, every week it’s the same wonderbread suburbanites talking about the small quiet warm feeling the Holy Spirit brings. At least the southern baptists know how to get everyone on their feet and dancing around.
Wasn’t fun loving, southern Baptist. It was crazy ass non denominational, fire and brimstone, revolations, scaring kids about hell. Kenneth Copeland visits, and the like always went this route. Nothing entertaining about it. It was scary as fuck! And if I didn’t act right, it was paddle board time when we got home
Damn, sorry you had to go through that. Each flavor of religion harms people in different ways, the Mormons are more about socially ostracizing non members and grooming children into the cult to keep the business growing. They’re also just as bad in effect if not scale as the Catholics for abusing kids, they just make the one on one time with the local bishop/used car dealer a normal thing so it seems ok.
I cannot for the life of me understand the appeal of Copeland. The guy looks like a mix of a real life serial killer and “demon in human form” from movies, yet people still donate their whole paycheck to him so that he can buy private jets.
Why can’t people if they are going to practice religion do it in a dignified way? I do.
Still speedrunning their way to Gilead, I see…
Claims to be a tape of this moment: https://imgur.com/gallery/5Jq7xiE
Religion has no place in politics. Not one whit. Practice whatever you want in your personal life, but nobody should be praying in a Senate.
that looks fucking crazy, like as in they are fucking crazy.
That’s because they are indeed insane. Unfortunately they are also in power
This is the part of the horror movie where you walk in on the weird devil worship sacrificial cult ritual and it clicks as to why they seemed like odd people. Then they spend Act 3 chasing you down to kill you. I guess we are in Act 3.
whackadoodles, the lot of ‘em
Are we sure this isn’t the onion?
Nope, just current day GOP America.
Seriously, you can’t make this shit up.
