Many Xian people went to great lengths today, and throughout the week, to attend worship services. Some in South Africa even died trying to get there. (Their bus ran off the side of the road. Only a child survived.) Each year during Holy Week, the truly committed go to great lengths to observe all that happened in the week leading up to Easter. Whether one believes or not, we have to admire their commitment.
Then, there are those who pretend to be xian simply for the political optics. After all, no one gets elected to any office in the South without claiming membership in one church or another. The only commitment here is to get rich off the power that comes with holding public office. They’ll occasionally go through the motions by attending a worship service somewhere, but for the most part, they’re only in it for the votes that accompany the religiosity of it all.
For example, both the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee released new music this week. When did the RNC and DNC suddenly become music-oriented? They’re not. Both records are absolutely horrible, do not need to exist, and are an insult to anyone who actually writes decent music. There’s nothing good about these events and we all need to hope that it never, ever happens again.
Yet, this type of pettiness is exactly where these pseudo-xians’ minds are this week. It’s almost as if they’re asking “Jesus who?” to all the rites the committed are going to. If only the records were the worst offense this week.
Meanwhile, down in Texas, a group of hardcore Republicans is looking for excuses to kill women, including those under 18. Hood County has a population of 66,000 bodies, but apparently not that many brains. During a meeting of elected offices that included Constable Scott London, County GOP chair Steve Biggers, and Hood County GOP chair candidate Greg Harrell, the discussion swirled around executing women of any age who get IVF or seek an abortion.
Paul Brown, director of Abolish Abortion Texas, told the group, “Other forms of abortion… would include IVF, when a fertilized egg is created and is often times destroyed. Those that do {IVF{ are terminating or destroying a human life. Their lives don’t matter any more than the babies they are killing.”
MeidasTouch Network has the video secretly created by Adrienne Quinn Martin, Chair of the Hood County Democrats if you question the content’s veracity. If you have a strong enough stomach, I strongly encourage watching the whole thing. Don’t just take my word for it. These idiots, every one of which identifies as a xian, seriously talk about executing young girls who have an abortion after the rape and claim that carrying the rapist’s baby to term will make the raped girl happier.
WHAT THE LIVING FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? Easy, they’re xians who fetishize Old Testament law. They’re inhuman monsters who have weaseled their way into office to influence laws so that we revert back to the same existence as a cultish group of illiterate nomads around 5,600 BC. Oh, if only their god would strike them dead by lightning.
Oh, wait, that god doesn’t exist.
Meanwhile, all over the country, conservatives have their panties all in a wad over the fact that this year Easter and Trans Day of Visibility fall on the same day, March 29. Now, before anyone goes thinking that this is intentional on anyone’s part, know that TDOV happens on the same day every year, March 29, and does every year. It doesn’t move. At the same time, there’s a whole formula applied to when exactly Easter is, and over the past 2,000 years xians who are unreasonably obsessed with the date have argued about it. The date is generally set by the first Sunday after the full moon on or after the Spring Equinox. If the full moon falls on a Sunday, then the following Sunday is Easter. None of this like likely to be accurate from a historical perspective, but apparently someone, somewhere, thinks it has some meaning. The net result, though, is that it’s never on the same Sunday any two years in a row.
But oooooohhhh, if there’s a non-xian conflict with the xian holiday, then surely something’s wrong, at least in the eyes of the pseudo-xians who enjoy making noise over such things. There must be a conspiracy of some kind. Maybe trans people are organizing to offend xians. Or, in the view of one nut job, it’s a demonic spell of trans-gnosticism. In his opinion, the “culture war” (huh?) is simply a front for a deeper spiritual war.
Dude, you don’t have a war if only one side is fighting. The trans community knows a nut job when they see one (better than anyone) and just roll their eyes at the stupidity on display.
Nonetheless, Fox News helped spread the lies (per usual formatting) and so the alarm has spread among the pearl-clutching people fearing that some version of the devil is going to come marching through their small town without warning and ruin their egg hunt.
By the way, Easter, and egg hunts, and the bunny rabbit? All pagan traditions that have nothing to do with being xian. Zero. Zilch. It has nothing to do with chocolate, either, but all things considered, I’d rather have the chocolate stuffed down my throat than the religion.
I’m sure there are plenty of other insidious things xians have perpetrated this week, I just don’t have the energy to look them all up. A great deal of them have the fingerprints of the 45th president attached to them and I am not of the mind to give him any more fuel than he already has.
Seriously, someone call Thor. We need those lightning strikes.
