(January 4, 2024 at 2:18 am)Fake Messiah Wrote: Conservative Women's Swimsuit Calendar Angers Christians: 'Demonic'
Conservative Dad's Ultra Right Beer released its "Real Women of America 2024 Calendar" earlier this month in "celebration of conservative women who are fighting woke [extremists] to preserve real women." It features several well-known conservatives, such as swimmer Riley Gaines, radio host Dana Loesch, former House candidate Kim Klacik and author Ashley St. Clair, among others.
But the beer calendar has been heavily criticized by conservatives, some of whom have called the calendar "demonic" for sexualizing women (including some who are married) and lacking images of women with children, as well as for being marketed to conservative dads.
"A conservative beer calendar sexualizing women in our movement and marketing it towards married conservative men is DEMONIC," Christian activist Morgan Ariel said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Ariel continued: "Question for women: When are you going to desire to be loved, cherished and valued by a man as opposed to being sexualized and objectified by them? Your integrity should be worth more to you than a check received for a photoshoot that devalues you."
Conservative Christian rapper Bryson Gray, who also called the calendar "demonic," called the images "pseudo-soft porn" and accused Conservative Dad's Ultra Right Beer of using Christian imagery to get men to lust after the featured women.
"I just don't see the value in marketing what's basically, in some photos, soft porn to married (or unmarried) men," conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey wrote on X. "Of course these women are gorgeous, and of course I'm all for celebrating true femininity in an age that can't define 'woman.' In my view, this doesn't accomplish that at all."
Others took issue with the fact that the calendar didn't include images of mothers or showed women with their children, which they said would be more reflective of what conservative women look like.
"Real conservative women would be too busy taking care of their homes & families to pose for a calendar," one Christian user wrote on X.

Right wing Christians have to decide what's a better way to treat their women: oppressing them by limiting their life options, or objectifying them in an anti-woke culture-war publicity stunt.

Yeah, conservative women don't have time to pose for the calendar because they live in a kitchen. They have to be ready if their husband suddenly feels the urge to eat a Belgian waffle or smoked ribs or even just a freshly baked Pringle. Why would a Christian man buy even one Pringle if he's married?
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"

Navajo Nation fights sending human remains to the moon
The Navajo Nation, one of the nation's largest Indigenous tribes, is asking that human remains not be placed on the moon as planned by two private companies scheduled next week.
The moon holds a sacred place among Navajo people and other Indigenous tribes. Navajo Nation president Buu Nygren said private companies placing cremated human remains violate tribes' religions and traditions.
Celestis CEO and co-founder Charles M. Chafer dismissed Nygren's concerns in a statement to USA TODAY.
"No individual religion can or should dictate whether a space mission should be approved ... we do not and never have let religious beliefs dictate humanity's space efforts," Chafer said.

Well I'd agree with the Navajo people's petition to not put corpses on the moon, but not for their stated religious reasons. It is monumentally wasteful, in monetary terms, in terms of resource usage and in terms of environmental damage to blast a corpse up to the moon.
All this scheme is is a way to stroke the egos of rich people for big money.

Not corpses............ cremains. Probably for less money than paid for HS Thompson send off, but Thompsons looked like a lot more fun.
