Any woman voting for trump is either a single issue voter or brainwashed
- Well this lot is Christian, so at the minimum, brainwashed.
- Nah, just impossibly ignorant and proud of it.
I don't think I've seen crazier Christians than the ones in US.
- There are some pretty hardcore Filipinos.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion_in_the_Philippines
  Crucifixion in the Philippines is a devotional practice held every Good Friday, and is part of the local observance of Holy Week. Devotees or penitents called magdarame in Kapampangan willingly have themselves crucified to reenact Jesus Christ's suffering and death, while related practices include carrying wooden crosses, crawling on rough pavement, and self-flagellation. Penitents consider these acts to be mortification of the flesh, and undertake these to ask forgiveness for sins, to fulfil a panatà (Filipino, "vow"), or to express gratitude for favours granted. In the most famous case, Ruben Enaje drives four-inch nails into both hands and feet and then he is lifted on a wooden cross for around five minutes.[1]
  
  At least they keep that to themselves.
  
  Thats gotta hurt pretty badly holy shit
- It was engineered in the 1930's i keeping telling people to look into James W. Fifield Jr him with National Organization of Manufacturers (NAM) that put capitalism above Jesus in American Christianity. They did this becase churches pushing socialist community programs and collective bargaining. scared the hell out of robber barons liked JP Morgan and Joseph Pew. There is a unbroken line between Fifield and the people behind trump.
  
  Southern Christians were the most socialist, they had huey long, and the south was dead poor and without electricity till the new deal and tva.
  But lbj made them choose between their religion and their racism, and that was no choice.
  That's unfair, the southern baptist convention was formed because the triennial convention wasn't explicitly pro-slaveey enough, so they kept their religion, just without all that icky "caring for your fellow man" garbage.
As someone from Washington state, I wish articles would specify D.C. in their titles. I've been seeing more and more omit that from the title. I guess it did the job of getting me to click for more information, I suppose.
- As someone from Maine, I wish articles would specify Oregon in their titles when mentioning Portland. I mean it was named after ours.
- I worry that we as a society have turned a corner and these kind of folks have been empowered to the point there's no going back. If they aren't latched into Trump, it'll just be the next DeSantis/Gaetz/MTG grifter they saddle up to.
  
  The internet opened a door, all those deplorables are now sure they're the rebel alliance in their fight against the mighty empire of wokeness and tolerance.
  This is oniy getting started, and the next trump won't be nearly so stupid.
  
  No one else has been able to reproduce his appeal as of yet 🤞
dumb cunts
I hope they seek the mental help that they so very clearly need.
Turn to God by voting for the Devil?
God: "Instead of serving me, you continue to serve yourself. Request ignored."
I bet God loves the divorced and remarried guy that has sex outside of the matrimony and probably never set foot on a church or engagement in the communion rite.
To get into heaven, American Christians have to follow these rules:
call yourself Christian
That's it, really. You call yourself a good Christian, you automatically are one. You are part of the group, so you are good. No need to follow any rules or tennets.
