I have to see a doctor twice a year to keep my medications; my mom has to go once every few months.

This makes them a gigantic amount of money. Thanks drug war.

For the first 150 years or so in the USA, you bought what you wanted over-the-counter, from aspirin to cocaine. Some people abused it, most did not… but then, only the drug maker makes money, not the clinic, hospital, doctors, nurses, staff, etc.

p.s. my very old mom at the end of her life has to pee in a jar a few times a year to prove that she isn’t abusing any drugs so that she can continue to get her drugs.

Who’s in charge of what conservative is? Who’s the decider?

(the only right answer is Vermin Supreme)

The Jews owned slaves back then; they weren’t morally superior to the Romans in any way.

Your house is a fire hazard.

You should salt your yard, only then can you be safe.

Please note, it’s THEIR backyard.

It’s got nothing to do with you; that means you are the asshole (not kind of).

Half of my back yard is wild with trees and bushes and tall grass, because I like my yard to sustain some small amount of wildlife. Squirrels, chipmunks, bees, rabbits, and even an owl live there. 100% better than your shit lawn, hands down.

I have lived next door to chickens, which is fine, but roosters? Those fuckers start screaming at 4 a.m., no joke. It’s a lot louder than you imagine.

So, if your rooster turns up dead, shit happens.

It’s fucked, and we were warned decades ago and did nothing but drill, baby, drill.

A lot of people will die. Which I’m pretty sure they’re fine with, less people= less expenses for social welfare programs, lower property values, and so on

“They” being the people in charge of our world-wide MegaForce economy, think JP Morgan and those who “serve” terms at The FED. (in actuality, they take turns reaming us, inflation is how central banks raise taxes without congressional approval).

Ironically, I went to Assembly of God school, which definitely impacted me and resulted in my atheism.

Also, my relatives were Baptist and totally wacko for Jerry Falwell, who founded Liberty.

They don’t speak in tongues, but they do share a lot with Assembly of God, like their Apocalyptic obsession. My family was positive they were going to be swept up into Heaven by angels while the Jesus army murders everybody. Should be pretty cool.

Speaking in tongues was a source of constant amusement for me, and probably the only thing I enjoyed about the church. “Shambala lala guu!”

Then, someone else used their Magic Bird powers to “translate”.

She looks able bodied, let’s send her to Iran.

Arguing on Lemmy is also a waste of time, that doesn’t stop you

Shouldn’t you be living like a bird in the field? Birds don’t post on Lemmy! Jesus wept

Christians shouldn’t do a lot of things that they do. The worst part about it is that they still insist that they are morally superior to everyone around them, because God said so.

Tragically, they believe that the Magic Bird gives them superior wisdom and intellect to the secular. This makes them especially stupid and hypocritical.

It’s Christian, too, as said throughout the Bible. Their relief from suffering is in the afterlife.

Most are normies? I’ll need some kind of source for that, my life experience says otherwise.

This is not unusual in my opinion. In my childhood, I attended Catholic, Baptist, and Assembly of God churches, and this would not have raised any eyebrows. Especially with Assembly of God.

If the people only knew what they are supporting with their tax dollars (in USA, churches pay no taxes)! It’s obscene and frankly ridiculous. The farther you go in the church, the crazier things are.

And make no mistake, they will kill you. The best part of adulthood for me was getting out of the church, as a kid I was horrified every day with these absolute lunatics.

The root cause is greed, capitalism is like one tentacle from the greedtopus

communism is another tentacle of the same monster

The Holy Trinity never disappoints. Father, Son, and the Magic Bird. Perfectly reasonable. ALL HAIL THE MAGIC BIRD

I’ve been to DC once, long ago. It was a shithole

Don’t worry! They don’t need to “steal” elections, why would they? It’s not as if the Democrats will reverse anything, they’re all making a fortune. Remember Biden’s presidency?

If Republicans seized power, that would be a fatal mistake (and they know it). I pray to God that I’m wrong and you’re right, and that they do seize power, because that will be the end of this charade. If only

Then there’s no capitalism here, so no worries
