Southern Baptists must have the highest rate of homosexuality in the world. It’s all they talk about. They throw it in with absolutely everything. “Do you guys want to order a pizza and end homosexuality?” “What movie did you want to watch while we think about homosexuality?” “We’re going to Aruba this summer and we’re going to think about homosexuality”
thier trans obsession, must because they all love watch trans porn.
Broken clock, yadda yadda…
the sports gambling is getting out of hand, yeah
I don’t think that phrase means what you think it means
I know what I’m about.
Can’t wait until they all burn in hell.
That stance against sports betting annoys me so much, because that means I can’t just look at everything they stand for and say I want the opposite.
Yeah, predatory ads for gambling really drive me crazy. Although I’d say my reasoning for being against it is pretty different from the Baptists.
support policies that promote childbearing.
…like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?
The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!
Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing. Though they also aren’t prioritizing childbearing regardless of what they say.
Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing.
A lot of these conservative groups have their heads fully packed with eugenics and social darwinian philosophy. The goal is to just keep popping kids out and come-what-may. Eventually, a large enough population will produce some ubermensch. And then you breed the ubermench to get your prodigies and your messiahs.
It’s Genetics meets Calvinism. If you succeed, its because you’ve got the Purest Blood. If you fail, it is because you have trash DNA and should be cleansed to make way for the superior people who will follow.
Southern baptists were pro-choice until the rise of the “moral majority” required southern baptists to fall in line with the catholic church on abortion to create the supply side Jesus we know today.
I was kinda annoyed at the article for not giving any details on the kinds of policies they wanted there, even something as simple as better tax credits for having kids would go a long way towards making children affordable. And yet I am sure that’s not what these people are advocating for.
Note that none of these policies ever involve “giving.” It’s all taking this away, means-testing this, banning that, etc.
Part of conservatism is the idea that “the more complex a solution is, the wronger it is.”
Another part is “We should be able to control women’s use of their hoo-hoos for pleasure by restricting them to being baby chambers.”
Here we have a venn diagram where the circles are the same.
Easy way to rule these fuckers out is to get them to say “vagina”
If they can’t do it without giggling, offence, or claiming obscenity, out they go
Abortion policies are a DIRECT REASON why I haven’t had any more children. If I can’t have guaranteed access to necessary, life-saving medical treatment (e.g. emergency abortions) then I won’t put my wife’s life at risk for one more child.
Can these fucking Christian extremists stop ruining everyone else’s lives
We all generally let them because we don’t like confronting people in public spaces because everyone is too insecure about social perception.
Inscribed on their swords and shields are “Won’t somebody please think of the children!”
Southern Baptists? I think you left out all their other usual targets: Catholics, spicy food, jazz, orgasms for fun, bright colors not associated with flags or maybe a football team, female orgasms, singing, alcohol, drag shows, salads with less than 51% mayonnaise content, men using umbrellas, single mothers, showing people kissing on TV or movies, Jews, Muslims, really any brown person, wasabi, mangoes, and aged cheese.
Since you brought up salad, any lettuce other than iceberg, lest we forget arugala-gate
As long as there’s 1 liter of ranch dressing per leaf of lettuce, Jesus will allow it.
Midwesterner identified
I was speaking for blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus.
Dancing, you left out dancing and… fun. Short shorts, miniskirts and bikinis.
Yeah, I was going to list a lot of above knee-height clothing items and got lazy.
All people have to do is stop donating money to religions and the religions lose their “power”.
The cult members just have to stop supporting the cult?!?
The problem is the people who do donate want all this to happen.
Look at captain obvious over here!
I’m kidding you a bit, but seriously, you’re just restating the problem.
Maybe it needs restating over and over until people get it and act on it?
Perhaps the message reaches someone who needs to hear it.
We should target Southern Baptists. With guns.
See I’m on Lemmee now and I can say that, fuck you Reddit
I came here after being permabanned from Reddit, but I still get posts removed. I recently looked at my Mod Logs for the first time, and was surprised at how many removals I had, some for really stupid stuff that would have gone through at Reddit.
Overall, though, Lemmy is a lot more permissive, especially compared to the new, post- HitlerPig Reddit.
Federated stuff like lemmy really ends to with a much wider range of mods / admins. There’s still a lot variation between mod teams on reddit too, but there’s a lot more similarities there between the biggest subreddits (especially because of “power mods”, and more overlap in userbase & culture).
Tldr expect weirder removal reasons here. And check where stuff is hosted when posting.
I’m still figuring out the nuances.
Lots of nuance, lots of seemingly conflicting stuff. Most everybody agrees that the “only good Nazi…”, though; I like it here.
Welcome to lemmy. It’s a collection of federated communities. This community is hosted on lemmy.world, which employs similarly heavy-handed moderation tactics to Reddit.
However, like all lemmy instances the moderators are rather short-staffed so you’ll probably be fine unless someone goes out of their way to report your comment.
The general population can barely hold attention spans on anything that doesn’t have at least three inset screens of people reacting and video games playing at the same time.
I am not holding my breath that even the most “inflammatory” ideas are more than WWE theater and fans of the show yelling at the screen. Wake me up when there’s an actual, organized resistance that doesn’t crumble into leftist infighting and purity testing because someone said the word “retard” and now everyone is at each other’s throats. (On discord of course.)
You can say whatever you please, but we all know it is hot air.
White Christian Conservatives are some of the most insulated-from-consequences people in the world.
Remember kids, willful childlessness is the newspeak for vasectomy and histerectomy.
I’m getting a hysterectomy next month and I’m pumped. Having a uterus is the fucking worst.
My wife would agree. She has… so many womanly issues, but can’t find anyone to yank the damn thing out.
She wants no children.
I, her husband, had a vasectomy before we ever met.
We have no use for the damn thing and it just causes so many problems.
Along with the other commenter, if you’re near southern Illinois, I can point you towards the doctor my wife used.
Also here’s this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Djia_WkrVO3S4jKn6odNwQk7pOcpcL4x00FMNekrb7Q/edit?usp=sharing
It’s a list of doctors openly willing to do tubals. They might also do hysterectomies.
My doctor is on that list! I don’t wanna openly say who she is because I don’t wanna completely doxx myself, but I can reply to any DMs with her name if anyone wants a Pa recommendation. She’s great. First gynecologist that hasn’t tried to pressure me into wanting kids.
If you are in Pa or willing to drive there, DM me. I can send you the info of my doctor. She’s really open minded and is one of the few in the state that will sterilize women (taking out the fallopian tubes) just because they want it.
I have recurring endometriosis and we’ve just decided that a total hysterectomy to handle the issue for good is the best next step.
Any birth control
They go against porn but not raw dogging to hash out clones for the glory of the empire. Wonderful.
hey, I target porn too! Lots and lots of porn!
So if they want to use their influence for political ends, why are they tax exempt?
Because the law doesn’t matter when right-wing Jesus is on your side.
Gtfo with your logic. We don’t want your kind here.
- Jezus, probably
Willful childlessness is such a hilarious concept. I’m rollin’ around here.
What are they gonna do? Check if you’re having unprotected sex sufficiently? Check how many miscarriages you’ve had? HAHAHAHAh. Fuckin’ donkeys.
edit: Small gubment.
They won’t care if some of the women they hurt were genuinely trying to comply.
Ban birth control in your area.
You mean, pay for my therapy, fix my broken personality, and force me to touch grass?
I mean…If you either need or should have it then… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯…sure? (genuinely hope you’re OK though. If not and you need to talk then hit me up.)
The touching grass part is up to you though. It’s just outside.
Story time - When I was a kid you had to get condoms through a family planning clinic or by crossing a border and many chose the latter. It was gone by the time I became old enough for it to be an issue for me.
Thankfully I live in the same country where there would immediately be government ending riots if there was any attempt to ban any form of birth control. Hell, the cops wouldn’t even stop the riots, they’d probably join in.
I hadn’t considered that though in fairness. It’s just such a crazy notion.
Oh. I guess I read that wrong as “willful childishness” and thought they were just being kind of petty at the end.
To be fair, that would be completely on brand for them
Oh, cool! As a willfully childless person (even though I live with my partner and we have the necessary bits to try for children), I finally get to be one of the cool groups being ostracized by these stupid religious nuts. Hey Queer people! We get to hang out! Let’s party!
(I’ve been watching porn the whole time. Just let me have my moment feeling special.)
