      Well for me, it’s the complete lack of evidence of anything supernatural.

      But yes, shit like this just reminds me that I made the right call.

        While it was something similar for me, evidence/proof for something supernatural makes it not supernatural anymore.

          Lol exactly. It’s like that Tim Minchin joke: “What do you call alternative medicine that works? Medicine.”

      Poor people are actually not so much people as real people. For them it’s best to be slaves, actually.

        Oh please. This is what American Christianity is now, whether you like it or not. No amount of "No True Scotsman"ing can change that.

    Her ‘plus sign’ necklace is way bigger than most I’ve seen.

      Got to make sure the cameras in the back pick it up. Just the usual iconography and standardized blonde talking head they trot out to remind people what they should look like in their version of murica.

      The percentage of area on someone’s* look that’s taken up by (the voluntary application of**) religious symbols exponentially correlates with how much of an absolute bell-end said person is.

      * I guess clergy are partially exempt given it’s a uniform

      ** I know there are some poor people out there forced to make their entire look a religious symbol. They’re definitely exempt.

        I’ve never seen this version, it’s fascinating:

        “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you build tombs for the prophets your ancestors killed, and you decorate the monuments of the godly people your ancestors destroyed. 30 Then you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would never have joined them in killing the prophets.’

    At the least she should be jailed for years once this is over.

    She’s complicit in destroying hundreds of thousands of lives at the least

    Is there any difference between the plus sign she wears and the plus sign with the guy hanging on? Do they both mean the same thing?

    As an aside I sometimes work alongside the International Red Cross and Red Crescent - fantastic people on the whole. Our group is mind-blowingly diverse. The only thing we seem to have in common is that none of us are (particularly) religious. We refer to the ICRC as “Cee plus” from the crescent and cross motifs.

      No difference. They both mean heretic who never actually read what Jesus preached.

      Paraphrasing the way it was explained to me as a child in a mainline Protestant denomination:

      With action figure = “crucifix” = Catholic = reminder Jesus died for our sins.

      Bare cross = Protestant and post-Protestant churches = reminder Jesus rose again.

      I’m not sure about Anglicans.

      Thank you for your service! More valuable than military work IMHO.

    Were y’all asleep when Matt Miller spent more than a year promoting genocide? Every state propagandist is the same. It’s not just the other “party”.

    That’s why libs have no credibility. Not to mention the casual misogyny.

      I would have never known how inevitable all this was without you explaining it, and here I thought just because Harris isn’t an entitled narcissistic toddler there would be competent people in her cabinet and the economy wouldn’t be crashing.

      you’ve truly opened my eyes, kind stranger.

      Even worse. I don’t know why they show up and pretend to be journalists. They are just propaganda mouthpieces anymore. And they have no loyalty to each other as journalists. If one of them gets ignored by the White House they just allow it and move on rather than imagining themselves as the target instead. It’s sick. This country is absolutely fucked and the populace is to blame.
