“Of all slaveholders with whom I have ever met, religious slaveholders are the worst. I have ever found them the meanest and basest, the most cruel and cowardly, of all others.”
"What I have said respecting and against religion, I mean strictly to apply to the slaveholding religion of this land, and with no possible reference to Christianity proper; for, between the Christianity of this land, and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference—so wide, that to receive the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked. To be the friend of the one, is of necessity to be the enemy of the other. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ: I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed, I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity. I look upon it as the climax of all misnomers, the boldest of all frauds, and the grossest of all libels."
Both of the quotes above belong to Frederick Douglass.
Douglass' words still ring true, the corruption and cruelties didn't disappear with emancipation they just evolved into equally loathsome ones, and so the hypocrisy also remains.
The separation of church and state is FUNDAMENTAL to the USA's survival. NO NATIONAL RELIGION, EVER!
These effin' idiots! You cannot force someone to believe something that just ISN'T TRUE! You cannot change a nation founded upon the separation of church and state into a theocracy. You can kill all the people who refuse to obey your stupid "religious rules," but you CANNOT make them believe your bullshit. Especially since the head of this regime has broken every single Commandment in the Bible.
Effin' hypocrites! As far as any "white nationalists" out there, I'm working on a new skin care formula that actually turns white skin black as coal. Of course, I won't market it that way; I'll market it to turn white skin even whiter! (At least for the first 3 weeks, then it will magically turn all your skin to black. This has been a life-long fantasy of mine.
Jeez, the stupidity is astonishing. Where the hell did these people go to school? Did they even go to school?
Linda, listen, you are not overreacting. Your anger makes perfect sense because the insult here is not just religious hypocrisy, it is the attempt to smuggle theocracy into public life and call it education. The minute the state starts deciding which scripture belongs in a public classroom, it is no longer teaching history. It is auditioning for control. And yeah, of course, the hypocrisy lands even harder when the loudest people preaching “biblical values” treat the actual commandments like optional reading.
Thanks for saying that I'm not overreacting. I am so against any kind of dogma being shoved down my throat personally, as well as shoved down innocent children's throats who have no ability to question authority.
I hate fucking cheatin-ass cheaters. That's all these recklessly, willingly and relentlessly stupid yet absolutely dangerous people do! It's always all about them. No matter what else may be at stake, their ends justify their means and if that means YOU pay the freight for their rotten schemes, well that's cuz freedom ain't free. It's conditional upon conditions they dictate based upon their needs.
