It seems to me that no matter who you ate and how much you support facists, sooner or later one of them is going to come to yoy and demand you do something you have a moral problem with.
If I can figure that out, why can’t this person?
Here’s an idea, let’s not have a list of “recognized” religions at all.
And while we are at it, Mormons and Christians and all of the rest should pay taxes, they’re disgusting vampires.
Here’s an idea, let’s not have a list of “recognized” religions at all.
If we don’t have a list of legally recognized religions, we won’t be able to rationalize pogroms against the illegal ones.
Don’t you want to purge the county of Muslims? Don’t you want to send all the Jews to Israel? Don’t you want all those Communist Atheists rounded up? I hear a bunch of them work for the CCP.
Don’t you want to send all the Jews to Israel?
Nah, I want Israel to not exist
Well, that’s just antisemitism.
Mods! MODS! If this was Reddit, you’d be so banned right now.
But it does, Blanche, it does exist!
There is a valid purpose. Sikhs have special requirements for grooming. Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Buddhists, and Hindus have dietary requirements. Quakers are pacifists. In general having a list of religions you’re prepared to accommodate is valuable for a military
“To accommodate the pacifists, simply don’t tell them what militaries do.”
It’s important for drafts where pacifists often get sent to working in military hospitals or other lifesaving nonviolent roles. “You ain’t allowed to kill? Cool you’re gonna do nothing but save the lives of folks who can.”
And UXB squads. Pacifist doesn’t mean no balls/labia, and you need a big swingin’ pair of 'em to sit and de-fuse a 500lb. aerial bomb.
No, lets have that list, and tax them appropriately.
You don’t need a separate list if everyone is getting taxed the same.
“but how will we know it’s a hate crime!”
-they coordinated to attack a civilian population/gather spot
Anyone who grew up Mormon should have already known the largely evangelical Christian nationalists would like to destroy Mormons in the top ten wish list of people to harm if they ever get power. this isn’t confusing at all. it’s willfully ignoring reality.
It’s like Mormons don’t even know their own history.
Yeah, I grew up catholic and remain shocked most Catholics don’t seem to get that they’re in that same boat
It’s shocking how little they understand that Evangelicals genuinely think Catholics are closer to Satan than Satan is.
Which is wild, considering they’re ideologically aligned. I guess the Mormons are one step too culty.
Ideologically aligned plays second fiddle to culturally homogeneous in fascism. If they’re too different, they’re an outgroup. How much of an outgroup only matters early on, but they’re still a target, ultimately.
Their leaders are competition for the Epstein child trafficking
The Catholic church has entered the chat
It doesn’t “ban them from a list”, they’re just not on the list under “Christian”.
Ask any Mormon if they’re just a flavor of Christian, and they’ll be quick to tell you why they’re better
They don’t have a problem with drawing a line, they just don’t like it when they’re on the minority side of the line which is what this is about.
They’ll call far right Christians “them” all day, but don’t like being called “them” by anyone.
Thanks for pointing out that there’s no ban on religions in the military. I’ve heard this blown way out of proportion a few times.
I believe this is mostly about what religious texts the military provides, clergy services and burial services. I think theres some other small things as well but it’s mostly about the military’s obligations
Yes, the main thing here is they’re feeling a sense of Othering that they all grew up being told was a thing that happened to Mormons, but they didn’t really believe it because they were loyal republicans and the majority of them live and die in the bubble of Utah and the surrounding areas, so they’re a force to be reckoned with even when not the majority. Those of us who grew up Mormon (i got better!) in the Bible Belt knew that the evangelicals would never accept Mormons as fellow Christians. More understanding groups wouldn’t make a thing of it, even if they have the same theological distinctions, but the Bible thumpers were always going to insist on semantic cleansing once they had their hands on the levers of power, and if the Mormons don’t accept that they’re only as good as Jews and Muslims, they’ll get slapped down even harder by a truly Christian Nationalist regime.
I thought it was the military list of protected religious rights, meansing the Mormons would have no recourse if they were asked to do something that violated their beliefs
Since Americans famously shrank English words due to length
Christians should pay 1/3rd more taxes than Mormons
Yours, a jew
Edit: this is a joke, I am not a Jew
Go cry in your straight edge sundae about it. You supported this.
Damn if only that religious minority wasn’t racist or easily conned
Unlike those shrewd religious majorities
Did i read moron senator…
Utah baybee
Well, that trumpet blowin’ dude on their temples is the Angel Moroni.
Yes!
Awww, but I’m one of the GOOD
minoritiesfascists!Leopard doesn’t care. Om nom nom.
everyone with a lick of hindsight knew that eventually being a straight christian wouldnt be enough if youre black, or a white christian not enough if you’re gay, or even a straight white christian man if youre not the right type of white or flavor of christian
Eventually these groups cannibalize their own.
First they came for the socialists.
Then left everyone else alone.
Mike Lee is quite possibly the dumbest Senator alive.
Tommy Tuberville would like a word…
The word being “uhhhh.”
You mean “duhhhh”
I was going to go with that but I thought it made him sound too smart. “Duh” has become more of an interjection or exclamation while “uh” has retained its simplicity as a marker for lack of thought.
He’s an owl exterminator
Dumbest Senator Alive, Wednesdays at 8/7 Central time, only on FOX!
Hey, senator dumb fuck, maybe dont exclude/include people based on religion.
“Your Jesus just isn’t good enough to be included with all of our other Jesuses”. smh /s
Zero sympathy MAGA fucknut. The Christian Nationalists and Project 2025, that you voted for and support, are a reminder from getting chased out of Illinois, Missouri and almost losing in Utah. Go fly a kite racist loser!
Humans are so silly. Especially in light of how serious religious simpletons are. just the silliest little apes we are. buddy, you’re just a pile of poop and water. calm down.
“The one thing you taught me about human beings is this / They ain’t made of nothing but water and shit / Alright?”
Old Modest Mouse pointed this out eloquently.
