Well, yeah. They're also partially responsible for the anti-choice movement in Ireland.
Yes, terrorist organizations rarely stick to the country they live in
Instead of religious right they should just refer to themselves as the hypocritical christians
Hypochrists.
Oh yeah, that's catchy!
I firmly believe this is one of the possible solutions. Just labeling them as religious doesn't help, as not all Christians feel this way.
Last I checked, Jesus taught love and acceptance. He hung out with people in poverty making hard choices.
I'm not religious. But this is exactly the stuff that caused me to avoid the church.
I agree, don't want to paint them all with a broad brush. It's just so many don't follow the pretty plain and simple lessons he was supposed to have taught
Last I checked, Jesus taught love and acceptance.
That is cleaned up version. Not the Jesus of Paul or the Gospels.
We know. We fucking hate it. But what can we do about it when they have literally billions of dollars to push their shite?
I guess that's the price we pay for putting wealth on a pedestal.
The religious right are a hateful bunch. It is fantastic that every year there are fewer and fewer of them.
Progress happens one funeral at a time...
Not the first time hateful ideology from the states was exported.
Its super hard to really even call it an ideology. More less just stupidity.
Maliciousness honestly.
(Also mocked around the world)
Largely, but they are finding some traction in some communities around the world. Nothing too much to worry about, but annoying, nevertheless.
Agreed. The far right is on the rise and a huge ideology clash will happen sooner or later. It's weird how we are living a copy pasta from the last century, a pandemic, a war between two countries in Europe that sparkle echoes of what happened before WW1. And then the pandemic, the inevitable economic crash, nazis feeling comfortable speaking about ethnic genocide and whatnot.
Truly scary time ahead.
Fortunately, I live in Canada where right wingers à la Donald Trump & the GQP cultists are mocked out off any political position with actual power. They hate Justin Trudeau but all they offer are carbon copy of the worst of the worst the US can offer so they better get used to Trudeau
It is worry about, from the African rise to even here in the UK chruch groups I know we're once quite liberal.find more and more free resources online that made by us evengelics and the jolly permissive vicars of 15-20 years ago are being replaced with radicalised younger zealots
It's happening in Canada and it sucks. American companies have acquired a large swaths of the Canadian news landscape and the radicalization of rural Alberta/etc. is happening at a terrifying rate.
As a someone working in a library here in Australia, this plague has spread this far and we've seen a very large increase in the number of 'complaints' and threats to staff
Religion is the problem, not a specific variation of religion.
I kind of disagree with that. Buddhism comes to mind. Peganism is kind of nice. Shamanism is an interesting thing.
Dunno... I hate the major dogmas as much as anyone, but it seems like there's some niche things out there that value spirituality over conquest.
Buddhism comes to mind.
Have you been to a Hell Garden? I have btw.
Peganism is kind of nice. Shamanism is an interesting thing.

Don't confuse the Disneyfied, PC version of a religion for what the religion does in practice.
Irrational beliefs are dangerous.
Religious people scare me. They're willing to end the world because it would mean the "coming of Jeebus". Same with muslims, they believe that their Messiah comes back when the world ends. So, they have no problem ending it.
Imagine believing in a guy who allegedly told as many people as he could to spread tolerance and acceptance for literally everyone, then going and preaching the exact opposite while saying they're doing it because he said so. Incredible.
No, you missed the part where he said, "except for them." /s
It's right there in Matthew 15:
People act as though Jesus was a paragon of virtue, but even according to the Bible, he could be a right bastard sometimes.
I mean it was literally like that, but fuck him. He was proba in the closet
I think you're conflating Jesus Christ with Supply Side Jesus.
What passage is that?
The big one is Matthew 22:36-40
There's several more, but most Christians don't actually read their book
