Sick and tired of all the political content in forums like this? The authoritarians and theocrats are hoping you won’t pay attention to how they’re organizing to steal the next election.
My voter registration was canceled twice this year without notification of any kind so yes I definitely feel like my rights are under attack if they weren’t before.
Really trying to savor the experience of voting this year, just in case it’s my last opportunity.
I hope you checked again and made sure you’re still registered this weekend.
So far so good! I’m watching it like a hawk.
“Christian”
Do you have evidence to the contrary?
The teachings of Jesus Christ?
“Slaves obey your masters” that one or a different one?
More like: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
He said more than that, though. They’re probably following the other Jesus who called a foreign woman a dog, along other things. Let’s take a closer look.

Okay, but what about the not-kind things Jesus said? How are the people following those words somehow not Christian?
Jesus has little to do with Christianity and Christendom. The Jesus story is more of a bait for nice people.
So please answer the question: what evidence do you have that these people aren’t “Christian?”
