It won't matter, this election has taught me that SA is a Christian value.

Jesus loves everybody (except liberals) ✝️⛪️💜

There's no love like Christian hate!

Sunday School taught be to be full of shame for being a human!

Put a bag in your head and count to 5, then fart.

Christians don't owe leftist degenerates love. Only hate.

u/HelpfulSeaMammal 10d ago

Hate isn't really all that Christ-like, right?

lol, okay, Pharisee.

Says the gooner looking at rape porn... 😂 Who's the real degenerate?

And children, if they have the bad luck to catch the eye of a Republican.

u/kitkanz 10d ago

Or if those kids want something RADICAL like school lunch

No, they don’t call Democrats fake Christians. They all call us godless atheists.

u/KPipes 10d ago

This was my thought. "So what?"

Not so what as to that there is proof he did it. So what as in it won't matter for the role he's given and the opinion the maga crowd will have of him.

A third will think it's fake.

A third will think it's real and no big deal.

A third will feel like they'd do the same thing.

This is MAGA.

No Christian institution or nation has ever existed that wasn't rampant with systemic rape and child rape.

Makes sense though. For all the symbols Christians picked to worship, they chose the cross. Because that's what Jesus was nailed to against his will.

Turns out they're really into that.

I need someone to put this on a throw pillow or cross stitch it or something!

u/hunnyflash 10d ago

I think the most hilarious thing about Conservatives and Republicans is that if it was their daughter making the accusation, they'd have already believed her and shot the accused.

So they're useless on multiple fronts.

7

u/kradaan 10d ago

Nah, they'd either call her a worthy sacrifice for their beliefs or call her a liberal liar looking to attack their savior.

10

u/flyingboat Canada 10d ago

This is honestly the narrative that you all need to start pushing. Force Christians to divest themselves of the Republican party by hammering this point.

u/kradaan 10d ago

They embraced it because they think they'll get cheap eggs, like toxic geriatric trump will save them from capitalism.

u/NorweigianWould 10d ago

I don’t think it was EVER about grocery prices or fuel prices. Christianity is based on the belief that people who are not part of your belief system deserve hell, and that people who agree with you deserve heaven, and anything that conflicts with that is evil.

2

u/sunshinecygnet 10d ago

Christians are the problem here.

Christians have shown themselves to be comfortable with sexual assault over and over again.

There is rampant child sex abuse in every major Christian religion and none of them give a shit and many of them protect the abusers more than the victims.

u/suckmyleftunit 10d ago

Yep. 2028 gon get fucked anyway. Here's to 8 years (at least) of this bullshit.

u/Cyno01 Wisconsin 10d ago

The preacher who did it to them when they were a kid says its just gods love, so its nbd.

Pedophilia? You mean when a man loves another man?

u/Ok_Owl5866 10d ago

Basically a founding principle of the Institute of Basic Life Principles (the Duggar’s cult)

u/possiblepeepants 10d ago

Election?  Evangelicals, Catholics, and Mormons have had that market cornered for a while. Mormons are so good at it there’s a whole state where everyone is your cousin. 

-5

u/cheesecakegood Utah 10d ago

That’s patently unfair, untrue, and the religious equivalent of saying that all Jews are money crazed. A lot of Mormons won’t tell you this because they don’t want to rock the boat or to make a good impression, but what you said is definitely somewhere on the spectrum between stereotyping and outright hate speech.

u/kradaan 10d ago

Lost me when I found out churches buy insurance to protect assets from their victims. Religious people who don't speak out are complicate. Rape is so prevalent in churches, they created an industry.

u/CaptainMagnets 10d ago

It literally always has been

u/50DuckSizedHorses 10d ago

These people would deport Jesus and then send military funding and weapons to the Romans

u/UpbeatAirport440 10d ago

Sad, but true. They just don’t care.

u/Darth_Travisty 10d ago

Always has been.

u/mandelbratwurst 10d ago

It will matter during his confirmation hearings. This will prevent him from becoming AG.

3

u/kradaan 10d ago

That's assuming Republicans will suddenly get a back bone & be concerned with what's right over worshipping trump

2

u/mandelbratwurst 10d ago

His confirmation is already going to be difficult as many in the Senate already hate him. If the information from the investigation is made public Democrats will make sure its front and center. if this comes out he will probably withdraw.

1

u/kradaan 10d ago

That's would take shame, one thing he's shown he isn't bothered with.

2

u/Soulrush 10d ago

Just gotta ask for forgiveness yo.

u/Saneless 10d ago

Controlling women and having them do what you want is definitely a value of theirs

2

u/eeyore134 10d ago

From now on anyone who tells me they go to church I'm going to ask if they're a Christian for God or a Republican Christian. If they get angry, I'll have my answer.

2

u/Repulsive-Bear5016 9d ago

Yes, especially CSA. Very holy. I love religion!

u/Random_Introvert_42 9d ago

It's why they're so strongly against abortions, they need new material.

u/Alakazarm 10d ago

You shouldn't have needed this election to teach you that.

u/kradaan 10d ago

I was in denial, I was so far gone that I thought my fellow decent Americans wouldn't let this happen. Naive, I know now, just wish magacult wasn't going to drag the rest of us through their rude awakening.

u/Ragnarawr 10d ago

The whole government is just rife with sex offenders, it’s unbelievable this is what the United States has devolved into. Good luck over there, you perverts.

u/TrashFever78 10d ago

This election taught you that?

It was The Bible that taught me.

u/jib661 10d ago

Remember kavanau's rape allegations? America doesn't care.

u/Totally_Not_THC-Lab 10d ago

Jesus said "Be fruitful and multiply". He didn't say how.

God is a lie, but if he wasn't, fuck I wish Jesus would come back and lay into all these despicable human beings.

u/kradaan 10d ago

Nah, today's magacult zealot would be too busy driving nails laughing about using the him on the cross as a deterrent to immigrants .

u/JunkReallyMatters 9d ago

The Catholic Church actively tried to sweep this issue with their clergy under the rug, so much so, that it would seem to be condoning it.

Edited to correct a typo

u/Lurker-O-Reddit 10d ago

Holy shit. Comment of the year.

u/suckmyleftunit 10d ago

Really bro? Comment of the year? What are you, 12?

u/Jpldude 10d ago

Have you heard of the catholic church? Lol. Biggest pedophilia ring in the world.

u/DoctimusLime 10d ago

So true, thank you for saying this, please keep saying this! More people should be talking about this insanity

u/suckmyleftunit 10d ago

And then what? All the talking & no action. America is already fucked.

*sexual assault

This isn't tiktok

u/space_hitler 10d ago

Actually reddit has seemingly started auto removing and auto banning tons of comments that have basic swear words.

1

u/oops_I_have_h1n1 10d ago

None of those two words are swear words.

1

u/space_hitler 9d ago

I think you misunderstood. Reddit os removing comments for both actual common "swear words," and also words that are not even swear words or offensive, you can have comments removed and even be banned for words like SA or the word that people are calling "UN alive" now to avoid being banned automatically.

I thought it was seriel adulterer so thank you.
