Yeah, it’s a good distinction to make purely because this may help their backwards narrative. I mean, this guy is a horrible human being. Wouldn’t it be convenient for those who agree with him to label him as the thing he’s attacking?

Still… There are some indoctrinated, self-hating gay people out there. The people who push the message he’s pushing are really good at ruining vulnerable individuals. It’s horribly sad, and unquestionably awful.

That’s right out of the Nazi playbook. These people, when cornered, will simply recite Bible versus at you as the reason for their malice.

It’s not inappropriate, I guess… The Bible is full of some pretty horrible and malicious things masked as righteousness.

Johnson then wrote that he worries that “our culture has fallen so far” since the United States’ founding in 1776. “I fear America may be beyond redemption,” he adds.

Since 1776? The year of the signing of the Declaration of Independence? I would think America got quite a bit better since then. I can think of just a few things that have made it better like:

  • 1787 Creation and signing of the US Constitution including that 1st Amendment including the words “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
  • 1865 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States
  • 1870 15th Amendment granting black men the right to vote.
  • 1920 19th Amendment to the Constitution granted women the right to vote and was ratified by the states

If Mike Johnson sees these things as a decline of the United States since the Declaration of Independence, he is saying he is seeing other besides white men gaining the ability to vote as a bad thing.

Republicans, your chosen Speaker of the House sees the Constitution of the United States as a negative thing!

I was just listening to the recent Behind the Bastards episodes on the Holy Roller cult from Oregon in 1900 and those motherfuckers were having women committed for refusing to wear a hat/cover their hair.

Probably that, too.

The thing is about 20 years ago I toured a preserved colonial town in New England (I forget the name, it was in Virginia) and there was a book on display which was an inpatient log for a mental ward. And some of the entries’ reason for admission was “masterbation”.

Depends. If you were crazy and they thought you were harmful, then probably yes. They also had sanitariums.

It was also not densely populated. It was pretty easy to simply banish someone and they would just fuck off to be on their own.

I mean tbf his ilk are really yearning for those articles of confederation days now that the tide on federation is beginning a grindingly slow turn against them

Something the sheer degree to which Millennials and Gen Z have embraced the cause of Palestine is probably putting into an extremely sharp focus as of late.

The point remains. He is in no way an authority within the Baptist church, let alone someone that can speak for God according to that religion.
