    It’s a bit hard to grasp but most practice ‘ social’ Christianity. Church is a social space to hang out, sing, read the Bible and be with people they like and are like them. Cookout and camping Christians. The people discriminated against as ‘sinners’ are just people they make them uncomfortable and they don’t want around.

    So the poor, homeless ,trans, gay are vilified because they. Really really don’t want them to show up in their church. It would make them uncomfortable.

    On the same side there is 0% backlash against the guy who drinks to excess specifically looking to hook up with as many hot women as possible on Friday or Saturday nights. As long as he is from the in group it’s fine to them and will be forgiven.

    There is 0 remorse, thought or strain over this. You’re judging them by rules they don’t consider important.

    Lemmy is an echo chamber but I’ll say if for those rare republicans in the back:

    If a prominent democrat has skeletons like this in their closet, they deserve the same scrutiny / disrepute as any republican.

    Party means nothing

    cheating, rape, and violence ARE conservative family values, as long as it’s the men doing any of those things

    I wonder how Elon’s “Kung Fu lessons” with Ghislaine Maxwell panned out.

    I wonder if he “sparred” against 12 year old girls.

      The Nationalist Christian logic … if I did bad things and God didn’t punish me, then I was allowed by God to do these things and get away with it.

      These are the reasons why I don’t like Nationalist Christians and I don’t believe in God … any God that would allow this stupidity is in a universe I don’t want to take part in. I would rather burn in hell rather than join some fanciful heaven filled with psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists.

      Also I always liked the short form of calling them “Nat-Cs” … Nationalist Christians

    I feel like the whole ‘Family Values’ thing hasn’t been a talking point from the republicans in a long time. Have any of these 3 actually lectured about family values?

    What is the criteria for “credibly accused”? Accused is easy enough. One simply must make an accusation against you. But what criteria is used to elevate that credible?

      witnesses, accusations, court trials, investigations by law, settlements and outright admission.

      Some of them have more of one type than the other but most of the people mentioned in this political context are not unlucky people who only have one or two incidents.

      That does not mean the other people are saints. But most seem to at least not glorify in it, and many are content to exploit and rob the working class without such public incidents.

    I like these things but would prefer them as a text post to politcal community or such so its searchable and because I tend to block meme communities. Basically im saying this is way to good to be a meme.
