"Stop. It is a fake religion created by a psychopath."
-Maulana Karenga (creator of Kwanzaa)

The real question is: Did MTG repeat back Karenga's sentiment on purpose or on accident?

The stupidity of our elected officials never fails to astonish me.

I don't think that question is particularly real, seeing as you are basing it on a mischaracterization of Karenga.

Then again, maybe you believe in non-psychotic people who say that everyone who disagrees with them will burn for eternity. You say a lot of weird stuff.
 
Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Funny how she really calls out the whole Marxist league of personal attackers. But this time she's just solid on the facts, while she is informing some stupid Republicans.

Hey guys. Can't you find something she's said that is actually stupid, or even hateful, instead of spinning nonsense as you naturally do?

non- or anti-Christians just hate Christmas because it is such a huge cultural success. Jews like Mark Levin are even out there wishing Christian believers a "Merry Christmas". It's been what,about 1000 years since the Christians cjulturally appropriated the pagan celebration of the winter solstice?

If you hate it, don't make up a new word for it and try to make it your own. Just hate it better.

I believe the fact is, Jesus was born in early April, and was also Crucified near the same time of year. But really, if there is any time of year we need a really big holiday it is the dead cold of winter. Aussies don't get the kind of snow most of the Northern Hemisphere gets, so they don't need it the way we do.

I read everything in the Bible, and somehow missed that. Who ever said that?

There was the parable about the beggar and the rich man, who each died. The beggar rested in Abraham's bosom and the rich man, being in torment, wished to come back to warn his people, to which Jesus said if they would not believe Moses and the Prophets, neither would they believe though one returned from the dead.. Most accounts of Jesus's teachings seem a bit off to me, reflecting popular assumptions of the day.

The charge that Jesus was evil, or insane, is also pretty popular and goes back to the life of Jesus.

But on balance, Jesus spoke of thieves and criminals as he died being "on his list" for people to teach in the next world. And he dispersed the evil spirits afflicting persons "in torment" in this life and gave them peace of mind. All of the teachings of Jesus add up to somethinvg that is hopeful that bad people can change and that evil will fail eventually.

Mormon belief in Hell makes it out that the torment is stuff like regret, anguish........ no hell fires, just intense grief. Which can be fixed, even then.

That's Karenga's understanding of Jesus, and it's not uncommon among evangelicals I talked to or read.

I mean, all holidays were created by someone, and could be considered "fake".

Dude was also a psychopath that beat women with cords.

Does not mean Kwanzaa is not a good and meaningful holiday.

I don't know if I'm adding anything here, but whatever.

I've been an Atheist my entire life. Second generation I'd say, but I think at the time my parents identified more as agnostics until my older sister got old enough to become a bit of a militant atheist and I followed her in that a bit in my teen years. Anyway, I was fairly outspoken about it and twice there were girls who took on the challenge to "save" me. I also went to church with a few of my guy friends, but I think that was more their parents who were worried about my soul.

Anyway, both the times I went to church with these girls the surmon, at evangelical churches, was about the only way to avoid everlasting hellfire was to accept Jesus into your heart. Both times I walked away more convinced than ever that I was not interested in religion.
 
I wish more “Christians” lived according to what their Christ preached. He said nothing about guns, gays, or abortion. He did say plenty about service, loving neighbors and immigrants, and living humble lives.

The real question is what the hell is this lowlife doing elected to Congress, and how many more of this Trumpiest of the Trumpiest wing of the “Republican” party will be elected in 2022? And yes, I am aware of what some say regarding Karenga, and that is irrelevant, if not inaccurate, and has nothing to do with the abject mean spirited and stupidity level of Greene’s statement. But, nobody said the creme would rise to the top. More likely in our manner of electing, the lowest common denominator will rise. The barbarians were at the gates, and breached them, on 1/6. And the barbarians will mill about, likely in greater numbers, as elected members of Congress.

Stop the steal?


30 minutes of Qanon psychobabble?



School shootings are false flags?



9/11 conspiracies?



MTG is the embodiment of voters voting for someone based on an initial by their name vs. actually understanding what they are voting for.
 
Republicans just saying the quiet part out loud.



They now believe parties and candidates offering ideas and people voting for those ideas is bad. I guess it’s just easier to install a dictator and turn off all thinking anyway.
