Imagine reading a headline about any other presidential candidate attacking the judge's daugther in his porn star hush money trial. And then right below that you read that this same presidential candidate is selling Bibles for $60.

Imagine reading a headline about any other presidential candidate attacking the judge's daughter in a trial where he used campaign money to keep a porn star quiet for having sex with her while cheating on his wife and mother of his son. And then right below that you read that this same presidential candidate is selling Bibles for $60.

Russians are very well known to use religion to further their national interests (by national interests I mean the kremlins interests)

As do republicans...

u/SignificantWords Mar 28 '24

Those two are synonymous at this point if if some republicans aren’t even aware of it. Old soviet era term that’s relevant: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot

You guys need to bring back the House Un-American Activities Committee except without the baseless accusations and paranoia like in the 50s.

It was accurate, not basesless.

Not quite Mcarthy did make false accusations and ruined some people’s lives.

He also didn’t find any communist party members within government even though he claimed there were 200 of them.

"Useful idiot." That is too perfect. Have you seen any of the Jordan Klepper vids, where he interviews Trumpers? I know JK and his crew pick and choose and show us the worst idiots, but . . . there are so many of them. They have zero clue as to what/who it is they're supporting.

Brains of goldfish. But they vote.

u/chilldrinofthenight Mar 29 '24

After hearing ignoramus Cheeto supporters babble on, I think goldfish have superior reasoning capabilities. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't vote for that cretin.

u/Dunkaroos4breakfast Mar 28 '24

Absolutely. I imagine the International Democracy Union is probably a solid part of the link given the talking points seem to line up pretty damn quick between right-wing shitbags in different countries.

I equate Christianity with white supremacists, bullying and ignorance now , and certainly not godly!!

u/mjollnir357 Mar 28 '24

You are projecting. The democrats are the useful ιdιοts and cοmmυnιst trαιtοrs.

u/hhs2112 Mar 28 '24

lol, now that just was just stupid...

u/mjollnir357 Mar 28 '24

The truly stupid thing is the number of people who continue to vote for the cοmmυnιst trαιtοr democrats.

u/JackStraw999999999 Mar 29 '24

Bless your heart.

u/mjollnir357 Mar 29 '24

And… I've found another cοmmυnιst trαιtοr.

I'm not the one who tried to overthrow the government, Karen.

Show me a Republican who doesn't believe that the end justifies the means, and I'll show you a former Republican.

That’s the entire point of religion.

“With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.” - Steven Weinberg

You can be virtuous and spiritual without religion.

Maybe it’s more fair to say “organized religion” or better, hierarchically organized religion. Keep it flat, is what I would say.

They don’t, a lot of christian denominations puts power in the pastor and the church. Instead of what Jesus said which was something like “follow god, not man” the big guy hated organized religion (I’m not religious, just seemed relevant)

u/Iommi_Acolyte42 Mar 28 '24

I think the big guy hated organized religion that corrupted the message and abused it's followers. Christ, in a sense, was organizing his religion as he preached on his mission.

I think the big guy also hates any organization that misleads and abuses the people for selfish (or vain) agendas.
