The odds that the model in the picture actually said this are, of course, zero.

Todd White #crackpot #fundie

I’m wondering if this quote would be plausible if someone had written it as part of a parody. Like Spinal Tap but with fundies. Haven’t come to a conclusion yet.

Your whole pornography thing? You think, like, no one knows it? God's watching it with you.

He waits till you reach climax.

Meh, if he likes watching, I do not care. No kink-shaming from me.

“The undermining of the church’s power over and above its immediate sphere of influence only meant that the church’s worst encroachments were done away with. This measure has no effect whatever on its ideological power, which rests upon the sympathetic feelings and superstitious structure of the average individual in the masses. For this reason the Soviets began to exercise scientific influence. However, natural scientific enlightenment and the unmasking of religion merely place an intellectual, though very powerful, force alongside religious feelings and leave the rest to the struggle between man’s intellect and mystical sentiments. This struggle succeeds in favour of science only in men and women who have already begun to mature on a different basis. That it can fail even in such persons is shown by the not infrequent cases in which clear-cut materialists yield to their religious sentiments in this or that form, i.e., are compelled to pray. From this a clever advocate of religion will seek to win an argument in his favour; he will assert that this is proof of the everlastingness and ineradicableness of religious feeling. He is nonetheless in the wrong, for this only proves that, while the power of the intellect is pitted against religious feelings, the source of religious feelings is not touched. One could rightfully conclude that the foundation of mystical sentiments would be completely undermined if the social hegemony of the church were not only eliminated and an intellectual force were pitted against them but over and above this the feelings that nourish mystical sentiments were made conscious and given free rein. Clinical experience shows incontestably that religious sentiments result from inhibited sexuality, that the source of mystical excitation is to be sought in inhibited sexual excitation. The inescapable conclusion of all this is that a clear sexual consciousness and a natural regulation of sexual life must foredoom every form of mysticism; that, in other words, natural sexuality is the arch enemy of mystical religion. By carrying on an anti-sexual fight wherever it can, making it the core of its dogmas and putting it in the foreground of its mass propaganda, the church only attests to the correctness of this interpretation.”

Your whole pornography thing? You think, like, no one knows it? God's watching it with you.

Well then Yahweh, be my guest. I like to think I have good tastes in smut. Hell, maybe he’ll sympathize and send a buxom, tall, gorgeous angelic waifu my way?

I’d like to repost a comment I made on an earlier post;

I for one, NEVER understood why a supposedly eternal, eons-old(*), incomprehensible, inhuman, incorporeal, omnipotent & omniscient cosmic entity that predates the concepts of sexes and gender would care SO much what the gender roles and sex lives are of a bunch of insignificant, random, barely-sapient apes who live on a random, backwater mudball somewhere in the infinite multiverse…
To such a being, the gender roles and sex lives of humans would be just as interesting and amusing as the gender roles and sex lives of ants…
(*)We’re speaking of a entity who is supposedly SO old that, to them, all of human civilization would barely be a footnote in a text one could not even leaf through in a star's life cycle. A being to whom all of recorded time would not even count as a hummingbird heartbeat.

So, yeah, Todd. Explain that to me. If you can.

Also, this makes god look like a perverted, sexually-frustrated peeping tom who can only get off by watching borderline-ants masturbate…

March for Billionaires #elitist #mammon

“Most made their fortunes building companies that employ thousands and solve real problems. Their wealth is largely stock in those companies, not vaults of cash.”
I might have believed you before the pandemic.
But we watched the billionaires.
They didn’t do shit for their employees. They justify their big profits by saying they’re the ones taking all the risks, but when they business suffers, they cry for government help because they have all this payroll and everyone’s depending on them.
Then, for the pandemic, they cried that closing their stores would cost them money and they couldn’t pay workers. And when they got the funds for those payrolls, they spent it on buying back stock. And they fired people anyway.
They are not a plus to society, we do not need them.

If we DO start taxing the shit out of their profits, just watch. They’ll sink the money back into the business, so that it’s not profits. WHich will be better for the businesses, and maybe employee pay rates, but it’s not in an effort to benefit society.

Jeff Bezos
Built a store where you can get nearly anything delivered to your doorstep, tomorrow.

I must offer Mr. Bezos a humble apology for ever questioning the legitimacy of his wealth. I didn't realize that, despite being Founder and Executive Chair of Amazon (which he literally built all by himself from nothing, brick by brick), he personally answers millions of customer inquiries by phone and the Internet, and delivers tens of millions of packages around the world every single day. It must be unfathomably, transcendentally exhausting to travel millions of kilometers through all 50 states of America and 99 other countries around the clock, including remote locations like the bottom of the Grand Canyon, the Himalayan town of Leh, the favelas of Brazil, and Tauplitz Mountain Village of Austria, all the while having his phone attached to his face for the endless stream of calls - and no lunch or bathroom breaks. And yet he has been managing to do it every single day for more than 30 years, while maintaining a perfect work-life balance. This is leadership and the American Dream in their purest forms.

He makes Santa Claus look like your average couch potato - you know, like the glorified loafers that we call the “employees” of Amazon. (News flash: every single one of them was hired by St. Bezos out of pure charity.) How else do you explain the fact that so many of them are paid peanuts for their supposed “labor” and couldn't earn in 100 years what St. Bezos makes in an hour (roughly $8 million) with his infinite supply of blood, sweat, and tears, not to mention time? The beauty of Capitalism is that, in any proper (i.e., non-woke, non-DEI, non-communist, etc.) job in the private sector, you always get paid exactly what you deserve for the amount and quality of the work you do. If workers want to get paid more, they ought to learn how to fit 4,000 years of work inside of a 24-hour workday, like St. Bezos does 365 days every year. It's called pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. Yes, it is hard, but it's not rocket science. Maybe they should try it sometime. Just a thought.

Now, all this may come across as hyperbole, or metaphor, but even if it was mere metaphor, it hardly matters, because at the very least you must say that he, as a genius creator-laborer, literally does the equivalent of all this by coming up with completely original, revolutionary ideas that no one else has conceived of, ever. Next to these, actual physical labor is pretty much immaterial, because any child and their dog can be trained to do it.

I'd compare St. Bezos to Atlas and Hermes, but that would be insulting, because he puts them to shame as well. If anything, St. Bezos deserves to be a multitrillionaire, nay, a multiquadrillionaire, and the entire world ought to be paying him - along with his very few peers (especially St. Musk) - billions every hour for his indefatigable service and unparalleled contributions to civilization. I recommend starting with diverting all money for every country's welfare services (especially those for health) to his bank account posthaste!

"those who have nothing are worth exactly that" - Right wing politician shows the right wing’s true colours, part 67,819.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that gypsy communities have massive problems, however, discrimination against them simply because they are gypsies will only exacerbate the problems. Remember - they only became displaced originally because someone tried to genocide them.

So, we have a guy who spends his entire life studying the biology of the human body, who tells you something about that body, based on his and other people’s efforts at understanding the body, and even tells you the study that was done to tell him this, but you can’t trust him because he doesn’t understand the bible quite the way you do…

Yeah, that’s rational.

There is a powerful network of evil, degenerate, incestuous elites whose behavior even when it is not criminal — though it often is criminal — is nevertheless disgusting and depraved.

We call them the Far Right, or the Grand Old Pedophiles.

With the Trump administration, I wouldn’t be surprised if she was named because she was a bigot and because she’s incomptent to her office, both “qualities” they heavily favour.

"Ok try an experiment for me. Take a bunch of elements, sand, whatever and conpress it and blow it up in your yard(or if you want to be real scientific do it in an air tight room).”
Is this supposed to compare to the Big Bang expanding out of the monobloc?
An air-tight room won’t compare at all, it’s got air in it.
You need to find a source of absolute nothingness.
We have no experience with nothing, not really.

“What happens? Does the mass form planets,”
There’s no way I am able to perform an experiment with enough mass to create a planet, so ,no.

“do the planets start orbiting each other.”
So, more than one planet’s mass….

“Does only grain of sand for example produce a magnetic force field that protects it from its "sun" that is completely perfect so that life exist so that the weight of the object on these planets are just right.”
Ah. A fine-tuning fan.
Who knows fuck-all about the big bang, but still rejects it.
Not a compelling argument you have there.

“Also, do the planets start spining and orbiting each other, and the only 1 out of a billion billion rotate at just the right pace and angle.”
Still an argument from fine-tuning.
You seem to think that the Big Bang is more of a cornucopia. Someone shook up a bunch of elements and out came spinning planets and life…
You’re all idiots.

“There are rules in the universe.”
Which they depended on to determine the Big Bang happened…

“Yes. How did they come about. Who created them or did they just pop up.”
Well, humans made the rules. We watched things interact, and tried different configurations, and eventually wrote down the rules as we understand them.
Feel free to provide the slightest reason this needs a lawgiver.

“We must not be rapped up in the phylosophy of men and consentrate on serving God my friends. He loves you. Do seperate yourself from him.”
Home schooled?

“Why didnt the monkeys of today become humans because they are monkeys.”
Well, yes, if they weren’t monkeys, then when you said ‘monkeys of today’ we wouldn’t know what you were talking about.
But what part of evolutionary theory would suggest that species which separated from our lineage would evolve to come back to our lineage?

“Why doesnt a apple eventually turn into a pear. Because it doesnt transform thing adapt. I adapt you adapt. You work you get bigger.”
That’s not evolution.

“I hope this helps people peace out”
I am no more or less peaced out than i was when I started.

“I could go on and on this isnt flaming anybody just trying to help”
You don’t know enough about the science you’re criticizing to help.
You’re spinning your wheels at best, or doing harm.

“i would go on but time for bed.....just remember God loves you just trust him on this one ok"
Um… No. Certainly not just on your say-so.

Considering the quote that one - being the origin of ‘Chopurcockov’ - comes from, it wouldn’t surprise me if the OP of this one was that destroyed by such a meme-inducing appelation.

Notice how Conservatroll was conspicuous by his absence after Philbert McAdamia came up with that zinger…?!
