This poetgirl on Instagram says some off the wall shit.

Some of these old bitches have totally lost their mind and just spread misinformation.

This is more than mildly infuriating for me but I wasn’t quite sure where else to post this lol.

    Whatever, the whole point is the religion shouldn’t be in schools in the first place. Get it out.

    I’m pretty sure there have been plenty of Jews, Muslims, Atheists, and others that have bled for the US too.

      It is pointless to engage with that point of their argument, because the underlying premise that the 10 commandments are hung in the classroom on account of Christians dying for the US is even more wrong.

      So by entering the discussion about whether Muslims have fought and died for the US, they will imply that you have accepted their underlying premise. There is no good faith arguing with fascists.

    “Christians” also stole this land and genocided people who had lived here since long before they came. Those who don’t like this should return to where their forefathers came from, no?

    As Jewish person my school literally had propoganda posters on the wall explicitly justifying genocide and blaming Palestinians for their own deaths

    Wrong… A simple google search shows that Muslims did indeed fight in the US revolutionary war along side other colonists

        They’re part of the Old Testament, which pulls from Jewish scripture, but it’s all Abrahamic to me. They should post the Beatitudes if they really want to keep things Christian-specific, but they won’t. Why? Just read them (and the corresponding Woes in Luke) and you’ll see. The Wikipedia article should be enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitudes

        If the ones that aren’t like that gave a fuck they would do literally anything to stop the ones that are. But because that would hurt their precious religion they just ignore it instead.

        As far as I’m concerned they are all dog shit people. Willingly turning a blind eye to hate from your own is no better than spewing it yourself.

          Dietrich Bonhoeffer was murdered by the SS because he didn’t stand idle as his country went full Nazi. He helped with multiple plots to assassinate Hitler, smuggled vulnerable people out of Germany and founded a church that rejected nazification that was later deemed illegal by the Nazis. The guy was a pastor. Do you honestly think he was dogshit for not doing enough?

            This also exposes another problem with the original assertion: there’s plenty to do if you’re present, like Bonhoeffer was, but what is there to do if someone lives on the other side of the world? Send a harshly-worded tiktok?

              Across the pond there were families that took in those refugees, invited Dietrich to speak to congregations, and stored his letters he sent from prison. In short, we should echo the voices of dissent and give them material support if possible.

          Yeah, we often see the entire non-terrorist Muslim population being held responsible for not doing enough to condemn terrorism, but Christians are let off the hook for the atrocities of their fundamentalists.

          I assure you the ones that arent like that do give a fuck and do what they can with what ability they can when able. A lot of them go non denominational and some are fighting other battles elsewhere.

          If you want to change their minds, you have to do it with promises & lies.

          In the meantime, the pope will continue to shit in the woods.

        The ones that aren’t didn’t do much to stop the ones that are from taking over. You’d think they’d care more about the blasphemous hatred they spew. It makes all Christians look bad.

            There’s not much of anything you can do as an individual other than publicly denounce them. This is something church leaders should have nipped in the bud a long time ago.

          Every 2000 years or so, religion goes to war with itself. Big war.

          In the years between, it’s basically disputes over what to call the omnipotent being or which shoe to worship.

          What does stopping American Christofascists from reconstructing the US government into a baldly authoritarian cesspit look like for normal, moderate Christians? And how does it differ from what theists of other religions and atheists could do to stop the same thing (reconstruction of the US government)?

    So we should display religious things of only the original occupiers of the land? I don’t think she’s going to be happy with the conclusion there.
