No Nancy, your martyr Charlie Kirk wouldn’t as he doesn’t subscribe to the concept of empathy.
Ok I thought this was a good one, then I saw the colour palette on the card and it went up a few notches. Well done.
Nothing less Christian than killing someone (it breaks the ten commandments).
Guy took a L from his own Republicans and they can’t take it.
AFAIK the ten commandment specifically mention “murder”, not “killing”, i.e. unjust or unlawful killing. Death penalty should probably count as murder, especially for people who believe in the new testament, but the old testament clearly disagrees with that, and even Jesus himself (according to the new testament) didn’t seem particularly interested in abolishing the death penalty, despite all the forgiveness, love the sinner etc. stuff he preached.
Interestingly, the catholic church has been against the death penalty since the 1960s. Apparently a big reason is that they think it’s not necessary anymore, due to how much more advanced modern judiciary systems are compared to ancient times.
Depends on the print, and what the pastor says. I was raised Catholic, “Thou shall not kill” was the 5th. I understand in the Jewish commandments it’s “murder”. And probably other prints, too.
It’s clearly meant to be ‘murder’, though. The old testament talks several times about capital punishment in the vein of ‘those who commit sin X should be stoned to death’, and it’s perfectly fine with war, too.
I think I just had a bit of an epiphany. So when these ghouls talk about ‘the left’, is it just code for ‘brown people’? It all makes so much more sense now.
It’s literally just “other”. Brown, trans, well all lgbtq, non chrisso, not nazi, female.
All of these groups have “exceptions”, which are the useful idiots and "pick me"s of these groups that some how always end up showing up. They never learn, and they eventually get turned on, cause, they’re the “other”
Othering takes many forms. In the case of the US Christofascism, it’s anyone who’s not a ‘Christian’ white cishet. Gotta keep the division easy for the populace to direct their anger effectively.
Also men. They claim to represent a majority, when in reality, cishets are a smaller group. I’m not sure how many % of the populace is cishet, but in the countries with the highest queer rates (again, this is because people have the freedom to truly be themselves there, and to come out), it’s about 75%.
If we take men to be half of that, we get 37.5% of the populace that is male cishet.
And what about christianhood? Depends. There are some branches less conservative, and most christofascists claim to be protestant. There are probably a few sympathisants and dissidents among all groups.
In the US, about 72.8% of the US adult populace belongs to a religious denomination. If we take all Christian denominations in the US, that’s about 69% of the US adult populace. Let’s disregard the obvious joke for now. So, we can roughly use the voter statistics of all religious groups - and about 37% votes Rep, 44% Dem, 18% are independent/other.
So, we get 37% of Christians voting/leaning Republican - and that yields 13.9% of the US populace who is a fascist-voting Christian male cishet.
The percentage is likely even lower, as only about 50% of adult residents in the US vote in US elections.
That’s against 86.1% which is not a fascist-voting Christian cishet man. Literally anyone else that’s not pathologically visiting a corrupt institution, is being repressed by fascists. Many Christians, cishets, men, and so on, are repressed by that small group. I invoke all of these to join forces and combat their fiends — the oligarch billionnaires.
What’s even odder, is that those evangelists allied with an atheist - Trump.
Bring it back? I wasn’t aware that it left.
Bring back? It’s still a thing in her state.
The death penalty is falling out of favour all around the world. But America of course wants to hold on to questionable traditions.
And also completely deny reality while subjugating those who aren’t white Christian males.
