Cross is pretty much well done and useless, so it's not like it won't be torn down.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Looks like somebody came along after the fire and set it standing in the rubble. I've never seen a cross standing on the ground like that one is placed. They're all either hangin, on a crozier or standing high up in a place of honour. And this is across deominations.

Is there a worse and more incompetent politician than the one who seeks people to pray as a solution to problems?

Maybe they need a better water conservation and distribution scheme? Who should they talk to about that, since he's busy doing a fucking rain dance? Shit like that makes my skin crawl - not for it's idiocy (there's that ofc) but for it's callous and casual indifference to the suffering of the citizenry.

Someone seriously needs an impeachment:
“I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk."
Lauren Boebert went full theocracy, and proclaimed, “The church is supposed to direct the government” per the founding fathers.

I wish this was surprising. I know politicians and other public servants have always said stupid things irreconcilable to the laws they are sworn to uphold, but it just seems anecdotally that they are much more willing to go full blast with the nonsense in the current climate. I suppose the only benefit is that it allows them to be easier to identify to those of us who care. I mean, she has put it out there that she wipes her ass with the constitution, whereas Gorsuch, Cavanaugh and ACB were smart enough to lie about their intentions to get on the bench.

Honesty is only a virtue when you know better. That one is dumb as a box of rocks. Parody of a farce.

At least he admits his worldviews are based on a fairytale
Quote:Our teaching that life begins at conception is a truth based in faith. It is not based in science. Life begins when God gives a soul. In Genesis God breathed into the clay. The human soul was created for the first time. Our teaching has its basis in the Annunciation, when the Angel Gabriel announced the coming of Jesus; and the Immaculate Conception dogma, when Mary was conceived in the womb of her mother.
