This kinda shit is at least part of the reason the fastest growing religion in America is “none.”

Exactly! They know their book says "love your neighbor" and care for the widow, the orphan & the stranger, but they don't even vaguely do anything like that.

And our most famous monument says “give me your tired, your hungry, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”

But I guess that only belongs to Texans who have had that freedom their whole life and are threatened by others seeking the same thing.

No no! That only means Christian WHITE folk from some parts of Northern Europe.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Gotta question whether even White Northern Europeans would be accepted by these people. I suspect no, not really. Such is the extent of the hateful fear mongering they subject themselves to daily.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So racist they hate everyone who isn’t themselves.

TBH I detest much of humanity as well, but it’s mostly because there are so many of us that we’re wrecking the planet / ecosystem. It’s easy psychologically to dislike the faceless ‘other’ until you meet them personally and grok their individual humanity. At least I understand the concept and can temper my instincts with logic. These dipshits need a good therapy session.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

grok their individual humanity.

I was legit going to say something until I looked it up and grok does, in fact, turn out to be an actual slang term:

grok

  1. To understand something intimately and completely. (originally from Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert A. Heinlein)
  1. With programs, having sufficient understanding.

TIL 🤷

not anymore, they removed that part already from the statue of liberty

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Ok... Really they removed that part or are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

It’s so hard to tell anymore, but it’s either sarcasm or misinformation because the plaque is still on the statue and a replica of it is displayed in the museum.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They’re going to be shocked when their time comes and Christ denies knowing them.

The problem is that won't happen, they won't get that reprimand. They'll be an asshole now and then they'll just be dead.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

These convoy people... false religion...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sadly that only means they don’t go to a church and just believe whatever, actual atheists agnostics are only 10%.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I don't know why people are down voting you. This is exactly what Pew Research has said about religious "nones" in America. The number of dyed-in-the-wool atheists is still quite low and projected to decrease because birth rates.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

For the purpose of the conversation, it's all the same shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The reason for the low "nones" is because those who profess to being atheists and agnostics are discriminated against, socially, employment-wise and politically. The vast majority of so-called Christians don't believe a fucjing thing in the bible - it's a dishonest social maneuver designed to create acceptance by the tribe, especially if you are a low-life.

Good thing atheists never make up facts to fit their narrative, and are always scientifically objective in their ideas 🤣
