Jesus Christ was a brown Jew in the Middle East, conceived out of wedlock in an arguably interracial if not interspecies (deity and human) relationship, raised by his mother and stepfather in place of his absent father. He may not have had a Y chromosome. He spent his early youth as a refugee in Egypt, where his family no doubt survived initially on handouts from the wealthy (You think they kept that gold, frankincense, and myrrh from the wise men? Hell no, they sold that stuff for food and lodging). He later returned with his parents to their occupied homeland and lived in poverty.
Trump and his administration are xenophobic, misogynistic, racist, fear-mongering, warmongering, tax-dodging, anti-Semitic, anti-choice, anti-welfare, anti-equal pay, anti-LGBTQIA+, anti-immigration, support tax cuts for the rich, support Citizen’s United, want to keep refugees out of this country, want to limit our ability to speak against the government, plan to abolish the Affordable Care Act, and they wrap all of that up behind a banner of “Christian family values.” If you support them, you have no right to call yourself a follower of Christ.
it’s so rare, yet so fulfilling, to see the J-man on my dash
One of my friends is literally the most religious Christian I have ever met. What does that mean in regards to her lifestyle and outlook? She loves everyone. EVERYONE. Unconditionally. And she supports healthcare and education and birth control and everything that’s necessary to have a healthy, stable society.
I can find a way to apply Doctor Who to anything, even this shit show of an election.
The quote is from season 8, “Dark Water”. The image is art by the fantastically talented Rachael Stott. Both are inspiring, at least to me…and I’ll take my inspiration where I can get it today.
Remind me again why you think there is no difference between the candidates and it doesn’t matter who wins?
yeah if youre not interested in reading the article, the lowdown is that trump will cut taxes by $4.4 billion then make up for it by scrapping the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan and most of the FDA. Which is bad…
…really bad.
Where is that Archer meme when you need it.
DO YOU WANT A COUNTRY OF DEAD PEOPLE
BECAUSE THIS IS HOW YOU GET A COUNTRY OF DEAD PEOPLE.
“The Food Safety police”
Yeah because the LAST thing you want is people making sure that the food your putting in your body is safe for human consumption and wasn’t made in filthy conditions that will give you food poisoning and/or kill you
Why would you want the food you, your friends and your family eat to be SAFE
What kind of SJW wuss cares about whether what their eating will give them Mad Cow Disease, make them blind of kill them
’“–and even dictates the nutritional content of dog food,” the Trump campaign fact sheet complained.’
I’m so sorry, for NOT wanting a country full of poisoned or malnourished dogs!
“I’m sorry if eating poison TRIGGERS you and you want your restaurants kitchens to be some kind of SAFE SPACE”
2015: Man-on-man marriage
2017: Man-on-child marriage
2019: Man-on-dog marriage
2021: Man-on-car marriage
2023: Hopefully the world ends by then tbh
Two consenting adults, be they man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, or any other combination not specified by the above, are now granted the right (as they always should have had) to enter a legally binding contract and obtain all its attached benefits.
Children cannot give consent. Children cannot legally sign contracts. Children cannot get married.
Animals cannot give consent. Animals cannot legally sign contracts. Animals cannot get married.
Optimus Prime is a sentient being and leader of the entire Autobot race and I don’t think you have any place telling him who his people can and cannot marry. If he is okay with Rewind and Chromedome or Astoria and Powerglide then you need to step off.
WELL SAID
It’s very easy to make Gracie’s mistake here if you persist in thinking of marriage as “a man and his chosen marriage object” rather than, you know, “two people choosing to marry each other.”
Says something about how some people view heterosexual marriage.
DING DING DING DING DING we have a winner.
None of these people have ever expressed a worry that dogs will start wanting to marry men, or that houseplants will start wanting to marry cars.
This way of thinking only makes sense if your view of straight marriage depends on “man actively choosing, woman passively chosen” and gay marriage only fits into your worldview as the distortion “man actively choosing wrong thing,” as though it’s a Sesame Street comedy sketch with Mr. Noodle trying to marry a pocket watch by mistake, presumably with his pants on his head.
Interestingly enough, I’ve never heard someone warn us about women wanting to marry anything, either.
thank you for that mental image. and yes, this is exactly right. i’ve never seen any anti-marriage assholes talk about what they’re afraid WOMEN will do.

This, holy shit, yes. Literally until now I never understood how people couldn’t understand “can’t enter into a legally binding contract” when it came to children, animals, whatever. And now it’s clear as fucking day. And even grosser than I realized.
Yep, so much of the fundamentalist christian world view makes so much more sense when you realize they have no concept of consent.
Woohoo! Only five more years until I can marry my car!
