So much for that first amendment thing eh? You can have freedom all you want, so long as it is freedom as defined by Ron DeSantis.
No we haven't been down that path already...you don't get to censor literature and civil rights....ignorance is not bliss as much as you wish it were..
They moan and complain about first amendment rights when a corporation like Twitter or Facebook use their right as sanctioned in their terms of use agreement with the end user to ban folks like MTG or Trump for violations of said terms of use, but they are totally cool with state and local governments banning books and see no issues with infringements on the first amendment there. Yup, makes sense, if the right wing extremists do it, it's okay, but if anyone else does it, it is not. Hypocrisy at it's finest.
They won't know where to go to grope women if the bathrooms aren't assigned by sex. They could waste a lot of time hanging out outside gender neutral bathrooms.
My local library has a list of books banned by Christian organizations.....Harry Potter is one as well as The Wizard of Oz...it's a ridiculous list...reminds me of Mao's red guard burning all western literature and musical instruments to keep the Chinese from western "corruption" ....one would think a "Christian" in the true sense of the world would be the most tolerant person you could find...weird that it's exactly the opposite with the GOP crowd
The main problem I see is interpretation. The corruption of the modern church is just as complete as that of the republican party, and the same groups are responsible. I see the same bullshit "originalist" type interpretation of the bible as we see by supposed "legal scholars" on the right in regards to the constitution. It is bullshit because there is nothing originalist about their actions. They get to pick and choose how to interpret certain lines to benefit themselves, time and time again, hurting their "enemies", and cementing power. And those, of the masses, that have been brainwashed by all of this will never understand how far down the fascist rabbit-hole they have dug themselves. It is sad, scary, angering, and absolutely heartbreaking.
Lets consult history, it will be The Propaganda ministry, which should mean Fox News. Anything sound familiar? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_book_burnings
In my experience, it’s a mistake to ascribe a singular viewpoint to a “modern church”. Views on social issues vary widely by denominations and regions.
Hmm. Works for me. Must be a dog paw mouse-click problem. Try this one instead: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/...nald-trump-as-the-gops-combatant-in-chief/amp
Noted. However, this shit is rampant throughout the whole of the American Christian zeitgeist. Are there some factions that are more insulated than others? Sure. But, that underlining sentiment still exists all throughout the American Christian experience.
