Oh boy, this is a beautiful display of word salad

Equal parts religious guilt-tripping, historical revisionism, and barely coherent rambling. A true masterpiece of moral grandstanding, delivered with all the grace of Russian Bot trying to write a sermon.

Let’s break this down, shall we?

“Jesus didn’t die for this.”

Right, because when Jesus was up there on the cross, he was definitely thinking about 21st-century same-sex marriage laws. Not, you know, forgiving sinners, preaching love, and condemning hypocritical religious elites. Nope, he was just sitting there like, “Man, I hope two dudes never get a marriage license in 2,000 years.”

“Love is love? No it’s not, read the Bible or walk away from God.”

Ah yes, the classic “agree with me or abandon your faith” argument. Very compelling. Almost like the Bible also warns against self-righteousness, judging others, and using faith to control people… but let’s not get bogged down in those inconvenient little details, right?

“God supports freedom of other religions but does not support selfness for love.”

First of all, I’d love to know what “selfness” is. Is it a theological concept I missed? A new Pokémon? Either way, the idea that God supports freedom except when it comes to love is quite the contradiction. It’s almost like you’re inventing loopholes to justify your personal discomfort rather than, I don’t know, actually following the core message of your own religion.

“Back then it was normal, now we live in a clown world.”

Oh, you mean back when slavery was legal? When women couldn’t vote? When people thought diseases were caused by bad air? Yeah, what a utopia that was. But sure, tell me more about how the decline of forced heterosexuality is what ruined society.

“Why didn’t we like homosexuality back then? Because most religions said it was evil.”

Oh, so we should blindly follow what religious authorities said centuries ago? That’s great news for anyo…  Read more

Engaged Gay Marriage

We were made to love one another.

Jesus and God love us all, even if we ‘sin’ by loving the same gender. We were made this way, God must have wanted us to love one another. God will still love us, Jesus still died for us and they understand and encourage we love whoever we love.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
