It's a good blog. They also have a podcast. I stopped reading the blog when I started listening to the podcast cause they cover the same material. Recommended.

Don't worry! God will "let there be money" and save the university!

We just need your help to get there. Please send us money so that God will make the money, only then when you have less money will you make more money to be like us, then you'll be able to make money with the money you gave God so that He could make the money.

It's all so simple. You don't want to burn forever in Hell, do you?

God will “let there be money” and save the university!

I mean, I'm confident that another evangelical Arkansas billionaire will step in to fill the hole, on the condition the money is spent to research how many angels can fit on the head of a pin (and they get a kick-back from the state for their philanthropy).

You don’t want to burn forever in Hell, do you?

Easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle, etc, etc.

The Arkansas Oblast will soon create the fucknut Christian version of the 1979 Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

will soon create

How many ICE platoons has Arkansas already produced?

Unless the US gets their extremist christofascists under control, they'll never be able to become a normal civilized nation, it'll always gravitate towards a theologic dictatorship.

  • Tax all churches of any religion. Heavily.

  • Ban prayers everywhere but at some and church

  • Ban any groups that wants to introduce religion based curriculums at achools and label them as the domestic terrorist organizations that they are

  • Jail the leadership

I don't see many other choices here. It's either that, or just continue with the same bullshit we've seen for the past 7 decades

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

The christofascists are actually ENCOURAGED here for a reason, they are very easy to control and manipulate (as any television show on The Christian Network will reveal immediately).

They are also used against each other (various religions and sects), that's why they are all tax-free! "We" want it to flourish. They are perfectly divisive.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 13 hours ago

Oh hells no

If anything, these guys cooperate. Leave it up to the religious to tell eachother to all vote the same way. Religious groups is why we are here in the first place.

Tax churches, now! For all I care, prohibit religions even

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm all for all of that, but even before any of that, every single church that has tax exempt status should be heavily investigated, and that status pulled with the slightest sign of impropriety, which will be at least 50% of them.

There's a street near my local Walmart, and nearly every house on it is a "church," 23 in all. It's a tax avoidance scam, and it has to end.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I don't even care about any of that. Churches have way too much power and finances.

Tax. Churches. Now.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 11 hours ago

I'm with you, but I also want to deactivate those phony churches, and then hit them for years of back taxes.

I always have one question when I see this. Which version of The ten commandments?

We all know the answer but the fact that there's several versions...

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Which version of The ten commandments?

In Texas, at least, we have a legislatively defined instance.

The text of the poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments described by Subsection (a) must read as follows:

The Ten Commandments

I AM the LORD thy God.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven images.

Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

Thou shalt not kill.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Thou shalt not steal.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is thy neighbor ’s."

I will concede that the 10 Commandments have any value when we elect a president that actually observes them all.

This same UofA

"The University of Arkansas’ reversal of its offer to hire Emily Suski as its next law school dean has sparked concerns that the decision chills faculty’s free speech.

The university said it was withdrawing the offer after key Republicans raised concerns about Suski’s background and legal positions on transgender athletes."

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 60 points 1 day ago (6 children)

it also potentially deligtimizes the degrees in the University,

These days getting a degree in a red state basically guarantees a devalued degree.
