Nothing says “Christian love” quite like a pastor cheering on public executions. These are the same people who insist we need religion to have morality.
If we had the choice between torturing someone for eternity over their beliefs or simply not doing that, we’d choose not to. But what do we know? We’re just evil heathens, not the infinitely loving and merciful Jesus.
FTFY: Men and women are equal in value. Full stop. “Distinct roles” is just a religiously motivated excuse to dress up sexism as divine design.
America is not a Christian nation or a Muslim nation. It’s a secular republic where freedom of religion means freedom for everyone, including the freedom to reject religion entirely. No religion gets to claim ownership of our government.
Apparently, invoking God in government is only worthy of mockery when it’s someone else’s God. How about we keep religion out of government altogether and elect leaders focused on moving our country forward, not dragging us backward with religious zealotry?
The easiest way to avoid Satanic invocations at city council meetings is to stop government-sponsored prayer altogether. Government meetings should be about serving the public, not promoting religion.
Young people aren’t just rejecting organized religion. That’s an encouraging sign for a generation growing up with unprecedented access to information, science, and diverse perspectives.
This is deeply ominous, especially coming from an administration that has already shown how far it is willing to go to undermine constitutional protections and the separation of church and state.
If Christianity were actually proven true, most atheists would change their minds. But acknowledging that a god exists is very different from deciding that god deserves worship. Belief and submission are two very different things.
This is exactly why government meetings shouldn't begin with prayer. Religious freedom means accepting that others have beliefs you don't share, not demanding special treatment whenever Christianity isn't the center of attention.
We need to force kids to read “Thou shalt not kill” on their classroom walls, then livestream the government killing someone on their screens. Apparently, that’s what Christian values look like under Pete Hegseth.
Christians have somehow convinced themselves that publicly proclaiming their faith, while being praised by millions of other Christians for doing so, is an act of extraordinary courage. Being a Christian in America is not exactly a bold act of rebellion.
You can investigate the truth claims of every religion. Christianity isn’t special. Apply the same standards of evidence to Christianity that Christians apply to every other religion, and it fares no better. Also, we investigated. Turns out it’s not true. Sorry!
This is exactly why we oppose prayer at city council meetings. Everyone supports government prayer until it’s a religion they don’t like. Government should represent everyone, not privilege one religion over another.
When your worldview is built on bigotry rather than reason, this is the natural result. You start with prejudice, work backward to justify it, and call the conclusion God’s will.
We probably should have ensured that crazy theocrats like Hegseth never got control over a country’s nuclear arsenal, either.
There are countless explanations for separate instances of people doing terrible things. “Demonic spirits” aren't a thing. And why single out women? Misogyny seems to be doing more work here than any demon.
Christian nationalism is many things, but perhaps its most consistent feature is being unbearably cringe.
Public schools should not indoctrinate students, discriminate against families who don’t share their beliefs, or force taxpayers to fund religion. They must remain secular and open to all.
FUN FACT: The Bible doesn't say *anything* about abortion. Ever. Well, except for the time God provides a handy recipe for a magic potion to induce an involuntary one. Numbers 5:11-31
