nigel99 474 #1 Posted July 28, 2024 All my evangelical relatives are kicking off online that the Olympics are satanic. Apparently it’s not just the trans/gay music events - although that’s part of it. Is this a widespread evangelical thing? This has since popped up on my Instagram as a result of all their posts I guess. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C98Mgbgy17e/?igsh=d283MTFxa29sN2sx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supposed to be some disrespect to the Last Supper. Our Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency mind you, was twitterpated over that. Might also have been the troupe of actors dressed like Marie Antoinette and holding their bloody heads symbolizing who knows what that wound them up. Our American Taliban are feeling very empowered these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alice Cooper, Kiss, music in general, fags, rainbows, communists, atheists, drinking, outdoor concerts, circus performances, magicians, you name it. If normal people have done it, then some christian somewhere has called it satanic.... which holds as much weight as their own christianity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mother flipped out and refused to let my aunt babysit again after she let us watch Mary Poppins! Was also forbidden from listening to anything other than Christian music as a teenager.

Phil1111 1,149 #5 July 28, 2024 Coreece will be along shortly to explain it all.Blaming it on liberals and then denying he ever said or implied said representations. Doesn't the ninth commandment forbid such misrepresentations of fact? Or have evangelicals not recognized the 12 commandments now that they made the overarching Trump whoreshiping pact.

So there is that. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry Baumchen No Jerry, there is a lot to see and dismissing it is to ignore one of the most important realities in this election. It should be discussed and denigrated in the hopes of diminishing the power it holds over some voters. The right wants to deflect attention away from real issues to what they see as the more powerful and critical religious reasons to vote Trump. That is, at the end of the day they want to destroy Jesus and burn your bibles so the rest of it doesn't really matter. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you did give Fidel Castro a ride on your sled. Seriously, that sort of 'believer' will do or say ANYTHING if it advances their agenda. Or harms those they perceive as 'the enemy' (which is anyone who disagrees with them). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
