Alabama Republican U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville had a stark warning for the approximately 100 Utah GOP delegates who crowded into a Bluffdale warehouse to hear him speak on Friday afternoon: Malevolent supernatural forces are working to undermine America.

we are losing our kids to a satanic cult

I hope so. Satan was a humanist. Christianity is a doomsday cult. Only one of those strives for a lasting future on earth. Plus the 7 tenets of TST are so much better than the 10 commandments.

Satan doesn't whisper "Believe in me", He yells "Believe in yourself!"

I thought that was putin, for a hot second.

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Pretty sure that is Rusty M. Nelson

Well, as a Satanist myself, I'd like to reassure the Senator that we only allow those of legal adulthood to join and that we are not a cult as, unlike some religions I think we all know, we never ask for or expect any money, and we practice respect and tolerance as the core Pillars of our beliefs. Maybe the Senator is concerned that the religion he feels might be losing out cannot say the same things.

Where I great up there was a church sign that said "Education is the greatest enemy or faith" still my favorite, wish I got a picture.

This person should be changing oil at a gas station off the Alabama river Delta instead of Senator for that state.

Naw. Cars are so heavily computerized he wouldn’t know how.

Better to put him out to pasture.

Senator Tuberville is so demonstrably repugnant, I'm now interested in the cult, Satanic or otherwise, that stands against him.

Tuberville is a Christian nationalist, a white supremacist and seeks to turn the US into a one-party autocratic nation. He also advocates genocide.

So once again Satan's résumé is looking bright.

Cults have names. So, what’s the name?

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 43 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

According to my dad, it's called wokeness.

It's an amorphous and undefinable term that vaguely means anything that challenges his authoritarian, theocratic ideals.

By not properly defining the enemy, it allows he and his buddies to direct their general rage at a common target that's compatible with anything that makes you mad and avoids accidentally engaging their critical thinking faculties.

Kind of like a cult in some ways.

Awesome. Where do I sign my daughter up?

Tommy shouldn't be allowed to leave Alabama.

I’ve hated this smarmy mother fucker since he was the head coach at Auburn, I wish he was still there so Kirby Smart could whip his ass every year. But now that he’s retired I hope Saban runs against him and crushes him like he would’ve at Alabama
