That....That can't be real. Please tell me this is a parody. I mean i know this is basically half the GOP platform but...she can't have really just put it that way, right?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 45 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Oh, it's real, and it's even stranger than I initially thought.

She should stay true to her conservative ideals and never leave the kitchen

I accidentally read the babies as rabies and that makes it even worse.

We are in straight idiocracy-land right now, when Kandiss Taylor launched her 2022 political campaign she literally painted this on her bus. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kandiss-taylor-jesus-guns-babies/

John Oliver made a whole skit about this.
Like seriously, watch it, it's amazing xD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEa3sK1iZxc

It actually makes perfect sense: it's in order of priorities, or at least as she understands them (making the rich wealthier is just a byproduct, as far as she is concerned).

Can someone tell me why "christians" in the US are so obsessed with Jesus instead of god? Like most other places I've been Christians tend to worship God directly.

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think it’s less of a Christian thing and more of a Protestant thing, particularly Baptist. Catholics aren’t as obsessed with Jesus.

Catholics are weirdly obsessed with virgin Mary

[–] squid_slime@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Can confirm, I was weirdly obsessed with the virgin merry back when I was Catholic

How did you feel about pip?

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Nah, he was just in it for the breakfasts. Fuck that guy...

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They're all about God too, but it seems intuitive that they're also specifically interested in Jesus too since he's the one that literally sets them apart from other religions.

Like... he's literally the "Christ" in "Christian"...kinda makes sense that they'd be all about him.

[–] EveningPancakes@lemm.ee 10 points 8 months ago

To clarify though they're only interested white Jesus, not to be confused with brown Jesus.

Depending on what sect of Christianity you belong to, you either believe that Jesus was God's son or that Jesus was actually God in a human body. The concept is called transsubstantiation, and it is controversial among Christians. For example: Catholics believe in the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit utilizing token transsubstantiation during Communion (the bread and wine are LITERALLY his body and blood), whereas Protestants believe in direct transsubstantiation, that Jesus was literally God in a human body and Communion is performed as a symbolic gesture.

Shopping, guns and Jeebus?

[–] evranch@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Jesus, guns, babies! Come on, we just went over this. We even painted it on the side of the bus!

[–] cone_zombie@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I forget. Does it have to be in this particular order?

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

You need to make the baby before you start shooting and praying.
