Religion is politics of the unknown ☁️
The things you are liable to read 📖
in the Bible ain’t necessarily so 🔍
It’s a recipe for extremism 🇺🇸
A playbook for tyrants ✝️⚛️
I know we can do better✌️💙☮️

Hello beautiful community

I’d like to introduce myself & explain what I’m doing here

I’m here because all my life Christian apologists have told me politics is false religion

& I think that’s backwards

Religion is false politics

Politics about the unknown

The testimony of an #exChristian

Refreshing the highlights from ‘The Gods,’ by Robert Green Ingersoll

Because if one of his speeches should be read in a literature class, this is the one

And because finally I am perfectly happy with the art

Satan was the firstborn son God molested

Adam was the second

Jesus was the third

Satan tried to tell them

Eve was the only one who listened

Now Jesus is grown up

He’s threatening to throw his critics in a lake of fire

He’s just like his father

And he thinks he was the firstborn all along

If she’d told you during the campaign about your grocery prices that your man was going to put grocery prices through the roof, and was going to shut down the government to take away health care, and he’d go out of his way to starve poor people while it was down, you’d’ve said she was being alarmist

The republicans who shut down the government and went out of their way to starve poor people while it was down also made sure to mention that churches can still help

And yet single mothers on social media have been making videos of themselves calling churches asking for help and being turned away

He’s bringing back slavery

That’s all he’s doing

That’s all he’s done

That’s all he’s even trying to do

The only way we can avoid another government shutdown is if Congress people stop getting paid when their constituents do & their savings will have to be frozen as well

Jesus will not do it

He cannot

Even if every knee in America knelt in his name they would still regard each other as unbelievers

This thrice-divorced pick-me thought if she destroyed the marriages of people who were hated at her church then someone from church would finally love her

That’s not what her church is or what it does

But yet everyone there believes someday we will know them for their love

Democrats stood strong on the shutdown as long as it was unclear whether the country stood with them or not

As soon as it was clear the country stood with them, it was also clear the president was a cornered animal prepared to keep the government closed forever

And then a number of democrats caved
November 10, 2025 at 11:59 AM
I think Democrats are making a mistake to reopen the government ONLY BECAUSE that normalizes this kind of governing by blackmail that republicans have been practicing, and it rewards them with another chance to do it again at a time of their choosing

There is no problem with taxing the rich

By definition they are the least problematic people to tax & the most lucrative

Russia proved it when the dictator took half the wealth from every oligarch

If that money had gone to the people instead of the dictator they’d be where the US was in the 1980s

If anyone is still wondering what dump and vought are doing right now, and if anyone still thinks the Bible is about emancipation, they should read the story of Joseph

They should read Revelation

The ‘prince of peace’ throwing his critics in a lake of fire because they don’t want to be his slaves

When I first read these words by Ingersoll about the Rev Crowley I thought he must’ve been a monster even for the time for deliberately starving orphans

But I knew all conservative Christians wanted to eliminate the welfare state

If they didn’t they either weren’t conservative or weren’t Christian
November 9, 2025 at 12:15 PM
How many Republican voters still don’t know shutting down the government so regular workers would not get paid and the only ones being paid would be those working on ethnic cleansing - how many Republican voters still don’t know that was dump and vought’s plan all along?

By the time Stalin starved his political opponents in Ukraine, I don’t think he needed his Supreme Court’s approval anymore, and if he had still needed it I doubt he could have gotten it

When a dictator defies court orders to feed poor people, it goes beyond everyday politics

It means he’s causing a famine

It means the famine is intentional

It means the famine is artificial

It means he’s practicing human sacrifice and it might have even been a campaign promise

There’s no more MAGA after this picture

Actually, logistics are a science

Aerospace engineering is a science

Politics are an art

But politics don’t keep planes in the air

You’d think the transportation secretary would know that by now

But he’s no scientist

The pope is woke and has learned from history even if I believe his analysis is still flawed

He asks psychopaths to reflect deeply on the plights of the vulnerable

Unfortunately, they enjoy deep reflection on the plights of the vulnerable

And if any god exists I’m afraid he is just like them
November 7, 2025 at 4:13 PM
He’s one of the main characters

And that explains everything else about him

Christians who didn’t want Mamdani elected are talking about hideous things being done under Sharia law but legal or not the same things are being done by Christians in Christian countries as we speak and were done for centuries

People are impersonating ICE agents in order to do crimes

and coincidentally after the last election the FBI is now directing them to start identifying themselves

Are they sure they still want to hit their quotas?

FBI warns: ICE must ID themselves as criminals pose as ICE agents.

Before the US Civil War they may not have had refrigeration, but they definitely had ICE

It was called the fugitive slave act

The conservative Supreme Court could not see what the problem was

And they will not be able to as long as they can help it

If homelessness were eliminated tomorrow, every secular charity would celebrate

But church charities would feel they’d been robbed

Jesus said the poor would always exist until his return

And that’s how they get them in the door

If it isn’t true then they above all people are most to be pitied

When I was a Christian, slavery in the Bible was unavoidable despite all efforts to avoid it

The OT said you could abuse someone in your authority as much as you liked if they survived a few days

And the NT said if they wanted to live forever they’d better endure it as if you were Christ himself
November 6, 2025 at 12:06 AM
All these people said drag queens were unsafe for children

My question is how much of their hypocrisy is caused by the culture of child abuse, how much it is the culture of Calvinism, and how much it is quantum chaos?
