I'm so tired of this psycho Christian bullshit. When you teach people to fervently believe a bunch of things that make no sense... it's too easy to make up nonsensical excuses, and there are people who 100% fall for them.
Not The Onion
Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!
And shit like this exactly is why religion needs to be kept out of school. If someone is curious, they can learn about it on their own, it's a decision best made once more mentally developed, anyways. Don't indoctrinate children with your bullshit, especially if the teachers are clearly not able to keep their own shit out of it.
Her attorney said Monique is just a "normal Bible-believing Christian."
That's an admission of guilt, not a legal defense! O.o
I disagree. If any of those "bible believing christians" had actually read the bible they'd know to be full of shit.
The American cults are truly fascinating as they managed to create the stronges gap between staun fundamentalist religious belief claims and a comical lack of actual scripture knowledge.
It shouldnt be considered a religion but a radical ideology with loose association to Christian symbolism but no actual connection to christianity.
So when I first read this I assumed that she posted a nazi meme that showed Nazi's in a good light.
An understandable mistake given the current political climate. But she shared a meme that equated nazi flags with pride flags.
In a really perverse way, I'm at least happy that she still equates being a nazi with something 'bad'. In her mind pride flags are bad so equating them with a nazi flag means she thinks that nazis are bad. What a relief!
Probably moreso insensitivity and stupidity than being a nazi
yes, we all know how mischievous loki tricking us for doing his shenanigans
Alberta, of course
It's like Texas and Florida had a baby
With conservatives. it is always someone else at fault. Always.
Although I have to admit that blaming the Holy Spirit for Nazi behavior is a new, bold move. What's next? "Jesus would have shot this person, too!" or what?
Ironic of someone to use the Holy Spirit as an excuse with the context of brainwashing.
~~Probably gonna get downvoted for this, but~~ that's a misleading headline. Nazi meme implies the meme itself is Nazi, where as the meme in question, according to the article, was comparing LGBT to Nazis.
I don't agree with the meme, for the record, I just have (what I think is) a reasonably specific definition of Nazi. "Bigoted" would be a more accurate word to use here.
But then, this is Not The Onion, and the headline is technically correct (it's a Nazi meme in that it's a meme featuring Nazis,) so whatever.
Here's a friendly suggestion for Monique: if you are more concerned about protecting your fragile beliefs than understanding that freedom of speech does not absolve one from the consequences it brings, keep your Nazi memes to yourself and spare us the melodrama. The world doesn't need more deluded individuals who use religion as a shield for their bigotry.
Based
They aren't even following their religion properly. just using it to make themselves feel better and above everyone else.
Just a second. checks notes
God = Good
Devil = Bad
Something seems off here.
“Oh God, make me not responsible for my own actions!”
normal Bible-believing Christian
I agree with her attorney.
STAR PLATINUM told me to post Satanic content then.
Oh fuck i did it again. I posted 15tb of jotaro p0rn because santa claus told me to.
Jesus: "Whatever you want others to do to you, do that to them."
Monique (Probably): "But what if, and just hear me out here, I don't wanna?"
Bitch, did I stutter!?
Is she trying to tell us that God is the Nazi? Explains a few things
Not the Onion never fails to amaze me
Wild times...
“Holy Spirit” sounds like an asshole.
God is a dick. The only one in that whole family that is cool is Jesus but nobody listens to him.
The Holy Spirit ain't got a pen!
Well, spirit of something, but whatever it is it isn't 'holy'.
The devil made her do it?
"She's a witch! Check if it weighs more than a duck!"
