They go against porn but not raw dogging to hash out clones for the glory of the empire. Wonderful.
As a trans man, I would be happy to have a child. My uterus still works, as much as I would suffer going off of testosterone enough to carry, it is something I have always wanted.
Unfortunately, these people have made it legal for me to be fired for being trans. They have voted for politicians that have done nothing to address the catastrophic state of medical care which renders it prohibitively expensive to realistically ever be able to care for a child.
I believe that children deserve stable living conditions and a future, which does not seem to be something that they are concerned with at all.
Southern Baptists must have the highest rate of homosexuality in the world. It’s all they talk about. They throw it in with absolutely everything. “Do you guys want to order a pizza and end homosexuality?” “What movie did you want to watch while we think about homosexuality?” “We’re going to Aruba this summer and we’re going to think about homosexuality”
thier trans obsession, must because they all love watch trans porn.
I’ve never know a happy Southern Baptist. I’m not interested in being as miserable as them.
The only Southern Baptists I know were really into demonstrative shows of family unity at church, but would frequently get into massive screaming matches where they’d kick their teenage kids out of the house. They’re divorced now.
The Southern Baptist only exist because the other Baptists were against slavery. Fuck every single one of them.
Do you know the best way to keep a Southern Baptist from drinking all of your beer on your fishing trip? Invite a second Southern Baptist.
Heh, heard that one with Mormon instead
That stance against sports betting annoys me so much, because that means I can’t just look at everything they stand for and say I want the opposite.
Yeah, predatory ads for gambling really drive me crazy. Although I’d say my reasoning for being against it is pretty different from the Baptists.
“We are miserable and we want you to be too !”
They’re not miserable though.
They’re generally much, much happier than progressives or leftists, because stupidity is directly linked to higher levels of short-term happiness and satisfaction from things like socializing and entertainment.
I don’t think there’s any good lesson to learn from this. But I think we have to do a lot better to understand the motivations of the people who are trying to affect the world with their agendas. They’re trying to make the world as “happy” as they are, and will always fail because others are too smart to accept a magical sky-daddy, just like they’re too dumb to see the wonder of a universe without a storyline.
Whatever happens in the near-term, we all have to continue to live next to each other so knowing what powers your dumb neighbors is more important than any other thing you could learn.
I’m so tired of religious extremists trying to force their shitty Puritanical views on the whole world.
And since Blue States contribute more to taxes than they take, and vice versa for red, we are literally funding them dragging us back to the dark ages.
Then I call for a national ceasefunding of blue states to red states.
support policies that promote childbearing.
…like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?
The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!
Southern baptists were pro-choice until the rise of the “moral majority” required southern baptists to fall in line with the catholic church on abortion to create the supply side Jesus we know today.
I was kinda annoyed at the article for not giving any details on the kinds of policies they wanted there, even something as simple as better tax credits for having kids would go a long way towards making children affordable. And yet I am sure that’s not what these people are advocating for.
Note that none of these policies ever involve “giving.” It’s all taking this away, means-testing this, banning that, etc.
Part of conservatism is the idea that “the more complex a solution is, the wronger it is.”
Another part is “We should be able to control women’s use of their hoo-hoos for pleasure by restricting them to being baby chambers.”
Here we have a venn diagram where the circles are the same.
Easy way to rule these fuckers out is to get them to say “vagina”
If they can’t do it without giggling, offence, or claiming obscenity, out they go
Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing. Though they also aren’t prioritizing childbearing regardless of what they say.
Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing.
A lot of these conservative groups have their heads fully packed with eugenics and social darwinian philosophy. The goal is to just keep popping kids out and come-what-may. Eventually, a large enough population will produce some ubermensch. And then you breed the ubermench to get your prodigies and your messiahs.
It’s Genetics meets Calvinism. If you succeed, its because you’ve got the Purest Blood. If you fail, it is because you have trash DNA and should be cleansed to make way for the superior people who will follow.
Abortion policies are a DIRECT REASON why I haven’t had any more children. If I can’t have guaranteed access to necessary, life-saving medical treatment (e.g. emergency abortions) then I won’t put my wife’s life at risk for one more child.
So if they want to use their influence for political ends, why are they tax exempt?
Gtfo with your logic. We don’t want your kind here.
- Jezus, probably
Because the law doesn’t matter when right-wing Jesus is on your side.
All people have to do is stop donating money to religions and the religions lose their “power”.
Look at captain obvious over here!
I’m kidding you a bit, but seriously, you’re just restating the problem.
Perhaps the message reaches someone who needs to hear it.
Maybe it needs restating over and over until people get it and act on it?
The cult members just have to stop supporting the cult?!?
The problem is the people who do donate want all this to happen.
Baptist like to pick people who drank, did drugs and slept around to teach sunday school. This is no joke. They get some ‘reformed’ asshole with questionable decision making skills to instruct children and warn them of the dangers of having a good time.
Willful childlessness is such a hilarious concept. I’m rollin’ around here.
What are they gonna do? Check if you’re having unprotected sex sufficiently? Check how many miscarriages you’ve had? HAHAHAHAh. Fuckin’ donkeys.
edit: Small gubment.
They won’t care if some of the women they hurt were genuinely trying to comply.
Oh. I guess I read that wrong as “willful childishness” and thought they were just being kind of petty at the end.
To be fair, that would be completely on brand for them
Ban birth control in your area.
You mean, pay for my therapy, fix my broken personality, and force me to touch grass?
I mean…If you either need or should have it then… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯…sure? (genuinely hope you’re OK though. If not and you need to talk then hit me up.)
The touching grass part is up to you though. It’s just outside.
Story time - When I was a kid you had to get condoms through a family planning clinic or by crossing a border and many chose the latter. It was gone by the time I became old enough for it to be an issue for me.
Thankfully I live in the same country where there would immediately be government ending riots if there was any attempt to ban any form of birth control. Hell, the cops wouldn’t even stop the riots, they’d probably join in.
I hadn’t considered that though in fairness. It’s just such a crazy notion.
Southern Baptists? I think you left out all their other usual targets: Catholics, spicy food, jazz, orgasms for fun, bright colors not associated with flags or maybe a football team, female orgasms, singing, alcohol, drag shows, salads with less than 51% mayonnaise content, men using umbrellas, single mothers, showing people kissing on TV or movies, Jews, Muslims, really any brown person, wasabi, mangoes, and aged cheese.
Since you brought up salad, any lettuce other than iceberg, lest we forget arugala-gate
As long as there’s 1 liter of ranch dressing per leaf of lettuce, Jesus will allow it.

Dancing, you left out dancing and… fun. Short shorts, miniskirts and bikinis.
Fuck your religion
The Southern Baptist Church is a Satanic cult. If your religion leads you to hate, you are not worshiping God, you’re worshiping the Devil. They’re devil worshipers, the whole lot of them.
Nah, the devil is chill. They’re a Christian cult.
Their god killed everyone who wasn’t on the Ark. It’s not them doing religion wrong; it’s a severe case of religion.
