Hi I'm a Christian and I care. The goat seems to be made to auction to spread awareness for human trafficking. Very bizarre to go with this method though. I also know nothing of the organization and it's effectiveness in helping stop child human trafficking. Especially after that movie and the backlash it got with how little it did in helping the actual core issue. Bunch of hypocrites.

The project is an initiative of Athletes & Causes, an organization in Florida that pairs athletes with philanthropic efforts. Its founder, Rob Canton, also runs the Grady Goat Foundation in Florida, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fundraising through goat yoga classes in order to support disadvantaged children.

I don't know anything about them, but the auctioned thing being a perfect representation of trump's ego, I'm fully expecting that none of the money will actually be used for the cause

[–] Aermis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, probably. It's a non profit but I don't know how that money gets audited. If law even applies here.

Exploiting peoples love of Trump sounds like a great idea to support people in need

Bonus points if the its supporting trans people

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah but did you vote for Trump before?

I call bullshit; christianity hasn't been a real thing since its final resurgance which ended during the siege of munster. john brown at the lastest, and that was still calvinism.

edit: wait, shit, tubman was also a christian fanatic, but she had massive head trauma, so I think she can be counted as an outlier.

No idea what you're talking about but Christianity is definitely a real thing, and it's not the Christo fascism that you've been exposed to.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

she's probably doing the Nietzschean "the last christian died on the cross" bit

oh. what's their holy symbol? is it a symbol of statist exemplary violence, a monument of terror used on slave rebellions and sometimes other people? or some other thing?

I get there are people who still call themselves that, but they're not, and there is no continuity.
