“The flood would not have killed someone a mile tall they could just go and stand on the mountain.”

Um, the Flood lasted a year. Did you think that this giant could have just stood on a mountain for the entire time that Noah was afloat? THIS makes sense to you?

“Same goes for me though, no matter what science has come up with or will come up with,”
So, you’ve already decided to evaluate the evidence you haven’t seen yet.
I mean, I’m always open to a decent argument for creationism, but it has always turned out to be poor math, poorer science, piss-poor word games, big numbers pulled out of their ass, and/or superstitious nonsense.

“I know that we did not come from some bacteria slug swimming in primordial soup.”
Know? I believe you’re convinced, but as you say it’s not based on any objective evidence. Just a blow to your ego, I would guess?

“To those Americans who oppose lethal injection: Do you know what the consequences of your self-righteous actions will mean for you and your families in the near future?”
Well, the court costs for ‘life in prison’ are a lot less than the costs of a prosecution seeking the death penalty, so, um, lower taxes?
I mean, I oppose the death penalty, not the method of deathiness.

“Do you know what the most agreed upon method of execution, even more favored than the firing squad or hanging is?”
Cigarettes. i read a SciFi story where tobacco was banned as a carcinogen. And society let murderers choose their death penalty. A guy killed his sister in law and asked for death by cigarette. Spent 8 hours each day watching the news and trying to get cancer.Watched a LOT of murderers turning themselves in, too…

“Beheading; is that what you want for your children?”
Why is this ‘for my children’? Is banning lethal injection going to bring back public executions? I know plenty of people would have them televised, but that seems unlikely for beheading.

“Talk about unintended consequences.”
More like disconnected consequences….

“ Just like the consequences of the Pentagon opening up all jobs in combat units to women; now not only are our sons eligible to be drafted into war, so are our daughters.”
Um, no, there’s no draft right now. And that would not be an ‘unintended consequence.’ Every time the issue of women in combat comes up, some dickhead is demanding that we bring back the draft,and draft women, to make things ‘fair.’
Maybe you need a bit of a lay down? Just until your brain stops setting off those sparks?

Pretty much.
Stories are told to the audience that’s hopefully going to read them.
Like, I read all the Tarzan books as a child. The older I get, the more grating the racism is. The book, the story, isn’t changing, just my tastes.
I love Destination Tokyo. Great movie… for its time. The little scenes of patriotic nationalism bother me more every year, as does the appeal to effective prayer. Again, expected for the time of production, but not what I’d expect to find in a movie made this year.
Times change, society changes, tastes change, and the OP seems to have imprinted on shows at a young age, and bemoans the industry no longer targeting their product to his demographic. And takes it as an attack because the only other choice is admitting his obsolescence….

“Some of you may argue that this girl was just a child. According to medical science, she wasn't.”
According to the law she’s a minor.

“There is a world of a difference between a 12-year-old girl who is an adolescent and a prepubescent child who may be only 5 or 6 years of age.”
Not legally, there is not.

“ His girlfriend was his first love.”
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back to you as an adult, you can have the sex. Otherwise, you’re breaking the law and need to go to jail.

“if you were a child and you were in a room with a radiator and some one told you that the radiator is hot and do not touch it. They then proceded to show you graphs and testimonies ….”
Thsi is not what happened when I was a child. My dad was constantly telling me not to touch stuff. When I touched it, it hurt. I learned to trust him and not touch things he told me not to. No charts.
And no one ever told me the stovetop was cold.

"No lets say you never toched the radiator,”
So, your thought experiment departs from my personal knowledge and memory.

"Christianity is the same, if you are talked into it, someone smarter than the person who talked you in, can talk you out.”
Again, that’s not what happened to me.

“True beleivers are born into it,”
No, they’re not. No one is born with a religion. Otherwise someone would be born with a different religion than their parents raise them in.

Thing is, religion is more like people telling me that there is an invisible radiator to avoid. And i look for it and never, ever find it. Eventually i see that they’re unable to actually produce the radiator. They’re just making excuses for why I don’t find it or get burned by it. They swear THEY feel the heat, but any four believers tell me the radiator is in three different places.

“Often people say God is just or fair and would not let children die in this manner or suffer this way.”
No. God’s been defined as omnibenevolent. That’s infinite mercy. Such a being could not tolerate any suffering he could alleviate.
And he’s been defined as omnipotent. He could alleviate all suffering.
Christians keep describing a god who USES suffering to achieve his goals. That’s disturbing.

April1663 & katyanne #fundie

“[Man IS an animal]”

“April1663: Man is not an animal!”
You rather a plant? Mineral?

“Man is a living soul!”
Maybe. I haven’t seen a soul or any reason to think it exists. I have seen man and animals bleed… And eat, and defecate, and mate….

“A dog does not know right or wrong. Dogs merely exist.”
Either you never owned a dog or you never trained her. But that has nothing to do with man being an animal or not.

“Man has a purpose!”
I’ve been told that all the animal shave a purpose, that’s why God made them so tasty.

“Jesus didn't come and die on the cross to save the whales!”
How does that make man NOT an animal?

“He died to save Mankind!”
So we’re SPECIAL animals, then?

“Man might have the same characteristics as a mammal, but we are not animals!”
Weird how we fit so very specifically into the tree of life, then. It’s not like we’re mammals except for our gills, or we’re primates except for having opposable eyes, or we’re apes except for gossamer wings.

“That kind of thinking and teaching is exactly why most of todays young people and teenagers are acting like animals.”
Humans are animals so EVERYTHING WE DO is ‘acting like an animal.’ Including rocketship astronauts, deep sea divers, certified public accountants….

“One cannot be expected to perform over what they have been taught!”
Hmmm. i was taught to believe in an invisible guy that lived on top of a solid sky. I outlived that.

“You teach a child that he is fat and he will think he is fat for the rest of his life!”
I got experimental baby formula. I was so fat that they couldn’t find my wristbone.
I got over that, too.

“ You teach a child that he is nothing more than a common animal and that is what he will become!”
No one ever said ‘common’ animal. That’s a connotation you add with no basis.

“katyanne: Yes good point Laura! I still struggle with how my parents used to tell me how stupid I was and I still a lot of times think I'm stupid.”
Well? Are you?

“If you are taught something that much you do end up believing it. I think you hit the nail on the head!”
Believing we’re animals does NOT automatically mean we can shit on the floor like puppies. We’re not THAT SORT of animal.

There ARE people who believe in your God AND feel that evolution is the method He used to create men.

How? With the Newspaper clippings. Apes were invented by wizards. It was in all the papers, so we just hand you the headlines.

“You who belive in Darwin”
I don’t ‘believe’ in Darwin. He wasn’t a prophet and didn’t establish a religion. I accept evolutionary theory as current science.

“can you prove we came from apes?”
Well, we ARE apes. So in coming from my parents, i came from Apes, yes. My kids came from apes. i was there.

“What proff do you have?”
Taxonomy.

“Can a tornado after picking up debliss spit out a brand new car? No it cannot.”
Has anyone ever claimed that it could?

“Nethier does anything in life coincidentally happen.”

“We and nature where all created.”
I don’t believe you. You have a book and you have certainty. And apparently no spellchecker.

“He fringer prints are everywhere.”
A lot of claims, here, no evidence to speak of…

“Evolution is a lie and it cannot be proven that we came from apes.”
Wrong AND incorrect.

“It takes more faith to belive in evolution than it does in a Creator.”
Another bullshit claim. how do you measure ‘faith,’ then?

“Open up your minds.”
But I’m terrified that I’ll become as ignorant as you!

“God created science, not man.”

“I realize GOD is really, really, patient with man”
Really?
He’s omniscient, ain’t he?
He knows EVERYTHING we’re going to do. AND everything he’s going to do in response.
He knows exactly when he’s going to trip offline and fling retribution everywhere. Is that patience or fatalism?

“BUT I have to wonder how much more evil can he put up with.. with the ways things are now. HES gotta be furious ..”
I dunno.
I mean, someone was taking my lunch out of the fridge on a regular basis. I painted one sandwich in hot sauce, knowing someone would steal it. When I heard someone crying in the cubicles, I wasn’t furious that someone had done what i knew they were going to do. I wonder if God can be furious at what he knows we’re going to do.

“I guess thats why the TRIB will be so awful, because GODS wrath has been stored up soo long and hes given man soo much grace ..”
Or since he made man wicked from day one, he could just forgive everyone their transgressions. But then Christainity wouldn’t have the appeal of a good revenge fantasy.

“His wrath is just gonna explode sometime soon ..”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAny day, now.

“Otherwise you can't say you had Him, seeing as you deny His existance...”

“"Pagans" (aka LARPers, because pagan religious traditions were not written down,”
Right, because the only way to learn about a religion is to read the litany.

I’d dare say that the pagan who had copies of Playboy and Sports Illustrated in his shrine as vessels for the Lady and the Lord, respectively, wasn’t really working on any aesthetic.

“in the comments can't separate fact from fiction,”
As an atheist, this strikes me as a description of most online apologists.

“that's probably why they worship evil spirits.”
You need to pick one. Either they seriously worship the gods, or they’re just posers. Can’t insult them both ways at the same time.

“Seriously, is there even a plausible reason?”
To be an atheist? I grew up raised to believe in God, but i had questions. Most of the Christains around me couldn’t answer them, and more likely attacked me for answering them.
I went searching for the God i believed in… Woke up one day and realized i’d lost all faith. But none of the arguments for gods, any of the gods, make any sense to me.

“or are you just stupid?”
There are people who are smarter than I am, but I’m not stupid, no.

“[im going with the latter on this one] and yes i just called you stupid if you dont believe in God.”
Okay, sure. 1 Corinthians 6:10 says revilers doing go to Heaven. That namecalling means you’re going to Hell, just like me, huh?

“ My God. Yes im narrow minded but those of us who are right are allowed to be narrow minded.”
Wow, that’s stupid. And a lousy thing to brag about….

“And if you dont believe in God, youll wholeheartedly agree with me when your in hell that you are an idiot.”
I’m fully prepared to face God honestly, for all the decisions I’ve made and conclusions I’ve drawn.
Are you as prepared if you find yourself in front of Nephthys?

“no offense or anything.”
You can’t call me names and then cross your fingers and say ‘no offense.’

“oh and if your gonna be rude then dont post back,”
You called me stupid, but I can’t point out that you’re arrogant, semi-illiterate, and a wonderful Christain?

“i was just wondering how anyone could ever not believe in a God,”
Fear that i’d then become as stupid as you.

“im not trying to force anything on you,”
No, you’ll wait for my damnation to accomplish that.

A narcissist who is sure that he’s been chosen by god for the very immediate rapture finds that the atheists he meets are full of hate.

I imagine you meet a lot of hateful people, don’ tyou?

“starting first with self-hate and it snow balls from there.”
See, I’ve never, ever met a self-hating atheist. Not once. I’ve known a couple of self-hating Jews. And several young men that got really down on themselves when drunk, but not atheists.
So I suspect that you’re projecting. If you couldn’t convince yourself that the supreme power of all reality thought you were worth a shit, you’d hate yourself. I, on the othe r hand, have a granddaughter. Life is pretty cool…

Do you mean experts in the field who study evolution, or do you just mean people who accept the science as more accurate than an ancient myth written down in your favorite book?

“because I believe that they are narrow mindedly and dogmatically accepting evolution without questioning it.”
And you narrow-mindedly, and dogmatically reject it without understanding it?

“I don't really care how God did what He did.”
Then you’re willing to accept that evolution IS the method he used?

“I know He did it.”
But at least you have objective evidence for this position, right?

"i have to laugh when i hear all these so-called science freaks talk about how evolution is a fact in a given matter.”
There’s the FACT of evolution, it’s been observed.

“try understanding the phrase.... " theory of evolution."”
Yes. The theory of evolution is discrete from the fact of evolution.
Two different things. Like, dropping things happens. That’s a fact of gravity. The theory of gravity tries to explain why mass makes there be an up and a down.

“for those who need help.. a theory is an unproven idea without facts to support it.”
So, you don’t understand the ‘theory of evolution.’
You’re using the way tv crime dramas use ‘theory’ and pretending scientists use the word in the same way to describe theories.
That’s way, way wrong.

“all the so-called facts you talk about keep changing in content & context as science discovers that they have to adjust their thinking to save face.”
Not at all. New discoveries mean more information slotted in, none of it weakens the existing theory. We do have to change dates sometimes, but not the over all idea of evolutionary theory.

“prove that evolution is a hard & given fact, without a doubt & maybe you'll be doing something worthwhile.”
Okay. Got your latest flu shot this season?

“Let's take a look at the major causes of fatherlessness:
1. No-fault divorce”
Hang on. No-fault divorce as a cause of fatherlessness? So, you’d prefer that women could only get a divorce if they could prove to a court that their husband had crossed a certain line such as infidelity. Then the kids would be fatherless because Daddy cheated and got caught.
If dad’s just an abusive, manipulating, sexist asshole, but faithful, then she can’t leave him? This would be better in your eyes?
So, a failed marriage is better than a broken home, for the kid’s sake?

“2. The de-stigmatization of promiscuity”
That’s the opposite of a cause of fatherlessness. If my wife cheats on me and I do NOT attach a stigma to it, then we’re still married.
If she cheats and the husband is an asshole about it, they separate because of the stigma.

“3. Stigmatization of Patriarchy (fatherly authority)”
So, yes, you’d prefer a manipulative asshole that she can’t leave as long as he’s faithful in his abuse.

“Now let's take a look at the goals of the feminist movement:
1. No-fault divorce”
Letting the wife enjoy the same privilege the husband currently does.

“2. The de-stigmatization of promiscuity”
That’s not feminism. That’s society being less and less het-up about puritanical morality on sex.

“3. Stigmatization of Patriarchy (fatherly authority)”
Is that really a goal of feminism? ‘The Patriarchy’ is just the assholes fighting feminism out of a fear of losing privilege. So, not a goal so much as an obstacle.

“I'm not saying that fatherlessness was an explicit objective of Feminism."
That’s just exactly how you framed the comparison, though.

“I'm saying that if fatherlessness had been an explicit objective of Feminism...
...they wouldn't have done anything differently.”
No, you’re saying it’s the faminism.

not so’s you’d notice.

“According to even conservative estimates, the world should have been way overpopulated by now if evolution were true.”
Well, we are overpopulated and evolution is a fact.
However the math that’s submitted for consideration is terribly simplistic and doesn’t usually take much of the limiting factors we can see into view.

“Evolutionists "solve" it with the speculation that our ancestors were hunter-gatherers for millions of years,”
That’s what the evidence is, not our ‘solution.’

You have a list of shows that are entertaining. Original content, developed characters, clever writing, clear narratives. But you judge the show by the moral profiles of the fictional characters. Not their entertainment value. You don’t understand the meaning of entertainment.

NO ONE is saying Walter White makes a good decision and becomes a better person through it. No one says that House is a terribly likeable person. Just an effective doctor. NO one says that New York is a better place because the Mad Men were in it…

Whatever your statistic, I’m willing to bet that it was out of any useful context and the source doesn’t say what you think it says. But you find a factoid and pretend it justifies all your rage and hate. Okay, incel.

Nope. just discarding it.

Well, incels habitually cannot read scientific studies for content, they just cherry pick propaganda.

“You can see this with all forms of anti incel content - IT, articles written by SJWs about us, mainstream media shit. You will NEVER see them actually address the things we write about or the facts we present,”
No, we have seen that. It’s just that it’s all the same thing, over and over and over. Gets boring.

“ Most of you probably know that eating too much meat or eating it prepared improperly can make you sick, but modern research suggests that humans shouldn’t eat meat at all.”
I’m a bit leery of references to ‘research’ these days. Whose research? Where is it published?

According to studies backed by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine,”
Uh, yeah, that’s not exactly an unbiased source of this sort of information, is it? They have a definite vegan agenda, not a neutral investigation stance.

"Aside from the long term ailments meat can cause, most of you have probably noticed that outbreaks of food poisoning are usually caused by animal-based foods or foods that have come in contact with animal-based foods.”
Seems to me that it’s mroe the stnadards for shipping and preparation than the animal base. Diarrhea lettuce comes to mind.

“Very few bacteria that cause food poisoning begin in plants.”
Gonna need actual numbrs on that, please?

“Medical doctors and anthropologists alike are beginning to conclude that humans get sick from eating meat because we are not built (for lack of a better word) to do so.”
A vague reference to experts sounds like a creationist saying that ‘many scientists’ are beginining to question evolution.

Yes, prove that it’s real, I’ll accept it. How breathtaking is that?

“But is that really all there is to it?”
Hang on, you can’t speculate about ‘what they’re really looking for’ until you produce good evidence for God and people still don’t believe.

“Lipstadt is the author of Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, and has spent years studying the ability of people to reject truth.”
I think you’re going down a false trail, here. The Holocaust is history, and the denial is largely political and/or racist.
You would have to SHOW that Christainity is true in order to prove that her research applies to this question.

"Instead, what I'm trying to get across is the fact that, when it comes to a person choosing to believe or deny something, there is more to that event than meets the eye”
So , you have no objective evidence for your god and you blame the motivations of those who don’t accept your poor arguments.
Yeah, call back when you get the evidence we asked for.

This cannot be proven until i have examined every single existing snail shell in the world. In general, nothing is going to ever be ‘proven’ true, because there’s always a chance the disproof is just around the corner.
Most of science is just the best working hypothesis we have so far.

But I’m still on the list of approved participants. I’m allowed to have sex in my bed. I’d prefer to sex in my bed with her, but i won’t ever sex in my bed with anyone not on the approved list. It’s not like there’s a risk of me catching something she hasn’t already been exposed to.

Just because you seem to think the vagina has a shelf-life doesn’t mean you can talk for all mens.

“By the way: true purity”
True purity.
And right there, my brain is saying that we’re on a trip into fantasy land.
I doubt anyone would qualify as ‘truly pure’ in your mind unless they were raised in a giant Mason jarin someone’s basement.

“goes much further than just the medical definition of a virgin.”
Being a virgin in this day and age isn’t enough for you?

“Purity is a physical condition which includes that definition, but it is also a state or condition of the heart which includes much more than not touching someone romantically.”
Romantically?
Romance isn’t physical. It’s in the head.
I mean, I can touch someone with lust, or with love, or because the airport shuttle braked suddenly, bu I don’t see how ANY of it changes my or her physical purity.

“It includes not allowing yourself to lust after someone,”
I don’t think that’s entirely possible. I mean,i had crushes on TV women before I had any idea what to do about those. Not really a matter of choice.

“give your heart away to someone who is not going to be your husband or wife,”
Been in love a couple dozen times, it’s not a voluntary muscle. And I didn’t always know if they would be my spouse, until they replied.

“not touching people in a romantic way, etc.”
So, you just want a Barbie doll who’s Never Removed From Box, huh? What is the problem? Are you afraid she’ll always carry a candle for a previous boyfriend while on a date with you? That your shortcomings will be compared to Used-To-Boy?

Or are you afraid that loving a woman who’s loved another man makes you gay by proxy?

“You know why panthers are so "beautiful" (in the eyes of other people)?”
Supple, adorable, murder floofs? Tell me why!

“GOD did not give them their spots and stripes.”
Striped panthers…?

"Satan did.”
Was this before or after Adam named all the animals? I just wonder why they’re ‘panthers’ and not ‘el gato diablo’ or something.
And, um, striped panthers?

“He did that to appeal these evil beasts to the eyes of the public.”
I really don’t think that’s how you use that verb.

“Those of us who worship GOD hate panthers, because GOD hates panthers.”
The whole time I was a believer,no one ever mentioned this. Weird, considering how many people feel a driving need to lean over my desk and point to stuff that’s a sin (“Your D&D books! SIN!” and “Your Playboys! SINS!” and such stuff and nonsense,but no one ever freaked about my Carolina Panthers flag, or my Jaguars jacket, or my high school’s Tiger mascot.
Is that the striped panthers? Tigers?

“That is why HE has tried to make them die off, because HE hates them.”
Tried?
The ultimate power of the universe was UNSUCCESSFUL in destroying something that offends him? Really? What a wanker.

“But humans will always be around to interfere with GOD's plans.”
The story of Noah’s ark says otherwise. God’s quite willing to kill any troublesome individuals.

“Giving to panther-related charities, trying to "save" panthers from extinction, and rehabilitating captive panthers.”
So, you’re saying that World Wildlife Fund is like Iron Chariots? God can’t defeat either?

“I think that is why GOD is so angry now.”
Well, he is quiet. One of my sailors described me to a new guy in the division: When Keith Yells, that don’t mean nothing. When he’s really mad he gets quiet.
Is that describing God,too? No miracles this year because of where Carolina is in the Standings?

“It has nothing to do with the acceptance of gay marriage, or gays being accepted into society, because they are not all accepted, and acceptance of gays only just began a few years ago.”
Oh, sweetie, what a sheltered life you live.
I knew gay sailors on every one of my commands starting in 1980. I didn’t care.

“All these disasters have been happening for much longer than gays have been accepted.”
1982,my first invitation to a same-sex wedding.

“So the Westboro Baptist Church is all wrong.”
Okay, you got one right.

“ It's not gay people that should be persecuted. It's panther-fanatics!”
Are we sure this isn’t a poe?

"I'm glad I stopped liking panthers early in my life! I may be fat, but I am still alive and healthy.”

“Evolutionists, if your theory is true, then why haven't bugs evolved the ability to avoid bug zappers?”
But zappers aren’t just a bug haard. They’re specifically made to appeal to the senses bugs use to acquire food.
And they have a rangeof about 70 yards. So just imagine some place like Kingsland,Georgia. Theswamp there is not carpeted with bug zappers. So whateer tiny percentage of bugs wander onto the property of humans that have bug zappers, the vastmajority are all over the fucking county, surviving successfully. There really is no pressure for the species to NOT seek food by heat.

"If everything evolves and gets bigger, stronger, smarter, and better like you say it does,”
No one says that’s what evolution does except for creationists who only have a shallow understanding of what evolution actually is.

"I would think that by now the bugs would have evolved.”
Even if there was enough time for a significant change in the various species of bugs, there’s really no need for it. The math is against it.

“Also, why don't germs evolve?”
I can see that you’ve never sat through a military hygiene lecture before entering a foreign port.
Or paid any fucking attention to ‘this year’s flu shot’ when your doctor advised you to get one.

No, half the country does NOT like him, they like the idea of him that they project in his place. The racists see racism. The sexists see sexism. The sovereign citizens see the destruction of the government. And the evangelicals see the racism, the sexism, and the end times a-coming.
And greedy people with an agenda see a patsy who believes whoever was the last person to talk to him before he approached the microphone.

the worst thing the media does to him is quote him. The Conservatives spend most of their time tryiing to say ’that’s not what he said’ and ‘okay, he said it, it’s not what he meant,’ and ‘well, he was joking,’ and then ‘well, we have to support him, he’s the president.’

“While human bosses reward independent thinking among their employees,”
That’s bullshit.
A human boss that welcomes independent thinking is a rare treasure. All too many are threatened if an employee wants change. Especially military. “That’s the way we’ve always done it” Isn’t a justification, it’s the entire argument. I’m sure this goes back to Ur or even further.

“God rewards dependency.”
To me, this is the sign of a weak leader. Either he doesn’t trust his subordinates or he CANNOT trust his subordinates. He certainly can’t just give instructions and go do something else.

“The more we lean on Him the better.”
For God or for thepeople who insist they know what God wants, anyway.

“ The less we trust in our logic and instead rely on His wisdom to guide us, the brighter we shine in His eyes.”
Yes, everyone was holy in the Dark Ages…

“The Fem Test”
Really feeling that testing other men for femininity is small-dick energy.

“1) Does he support legalized abortion?.”
Yes, what does that say about me?

“Since femininity is the opposite of masculinity, any man who favors legalized abortion is highly feminized.”
What does femininity have to do with bodily autonomy? How does this work? Use crayons in your explanation if you must.

“You'll likely never make a man out of him.”
So, just as baseless accusation.

“3) Does he support Israel in any form, or, worse, does he believe that Israel is "our greatest ally"?”
This is a test of femininity?
Sounds more like a political purity test.

“4) Does he read or watch pornography?”
I read smut and I write graphic fiction, including bible fanfic.

"As Henry has pointed out in the past, all pornography is homosexual.”
By ‘pointed out’ you mean ‘meaningless, baseless name-calling,’ then?

"If your husband, boyfriend, or male acquaintance reads or watches pornography, he is either demon possessed, latently homosexual, or both.”
Well, I don’t believe in demons, and I have actually tested for homosexuality, so swing and a miss, bubbles.

“5) Does he watch sports?”
No.

“9) Did he vote for Hillary Clinton, the impostor Joe Biden, or Kamala Harris in any of the last three presidential elections?”
Back to the political purity tests…
And maybe it has nothing to do with femininity, I just don’t think felons should run for president.

Man For Young Girl To Become My Wife #fundie

“My primary goal is to find a wife that knows that she was created for man,”
Well, that’s a downcheck on Mrs. Inc.
Pretty sure she was created for music.

“that she is to be her husband's helpmate,”
She takes our partnership very seriously, yes.

“that she is totally under her husband's authority”
I don’t even want that.
All i can think of is the malicious compliance we put into effect for asshole officers. “Sorry, sir, you didn’t order me to do that.”

“and is to obey her husband with all her heart, mind, body and soul”
What if I’m wrong? I’ve been wrong. She has sometimes disobeyed me which saved us both.

“and that it is her husband that she is devoted to and loyal to”
Okay, got that. Neither of us is at all likely to cheat on the other. She doesn’t cheat because if i find out i’ll cry and she hates to see me cry and if she finds out i cheated she’ll break me in half.

“and seeks to please with all her being.”
She ahs a few hobbies that don’t include me.

“Such a wife is a Godly Christian wife.”
Sounds like a sex slave.

“Any deviation from this it NOT a Godly Christian wife”
Okay.

“ but is rather a rebellious witch and whore.”
Gotta figure if she was a witch she’d wear black more often…

“ Most of Christendom is filled with rebellious witch whores.”
1 Corinthians says taht revilers are going to Hell, dickbag.

Vox Day #dunning-kruger

Since evolution has been observed, I’d guess that the ‘evolution’ voxie has mathematically disproven is a caricature of the science. Something no one actually claims to have happened, like an eye developing in one generation or a dung-collecting beetle just rolling over into a bombardier beetle.
And yes, the chances of such spontaneous magic are vanishingly small.
But proving that has zero impact on the actual science that voxie ignores.
