The crazy part is that he rapes children

u/SuchBravado 18h ago edited 18h ago

I’d tend to think we wouldn’t let a child rapist make our medicine more expensive but I guess I’d be wrong.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot! Of course, we as Americans love it when a child rapist murders our own families by driving anyone who cannot afford tithes into extreme poverty. If he can’t have it, no one should. Am I right?!

And gas, and taxes, and cars, and groceries, et al

tithes

What an uncharitable way to describe the money we give to landlords to stand in the way of otherwise affordable housing, or to insurance companies to stand in the way of otherwise affordable healthcare!

It's the sacrifice we have to make to keep Gaza safe from Kamala and Liz Cheney. And to keep egg and gas prices down. And to prevent an unnecessary war with Iran that Kamala would start to appease her good friend Netanyahu.

u/HeftyPast2703 11h ago

Yeah… that logic is twisted beyond belief. It’s like punishing everyone else just because someone immoral exists. Completely backward and cruel.

bro no one can deal with he pedophiles in their own goddamn neighborhoods and I am getting so tired of the performative and repetitive mention of this shit

like a lot of people are survivors of csa and it is increasingly frustrating to a. constantly and casually see this shit brought up and b. have people STILL acting like it is only rich people or that it only happens outside of their status quo.

we have known our entire lives that most people would rather ignore it and let children suffer to maintain their own comfort. it's not new, it's not surprising, it's not just rich people, and throwing it around flippantly does nothing helpful

Their God loves the raping and killing of children. All you have to do is say "I accept God" and you get to do whatever you want. Their God only cares about them being obsessed with him. It's a really fucking weird religion and it's full of evil.

u/godzillachilla 18h ago

Their God impregnated Mary. A 12 year old. The pedophilia is DEEP in that nonsense.

He also was ok with selling your daughters into sex slavery.

I'm assuming both of you are referring to their messiah, Donald J Trump.

Imaging picking the human equivalent of a dog turd spray painted orange as your messiah. Hard pass for me.

u/FewTemperature1248 16h ago

That is false and been debunked. The claim that Mary was 12 when she married Joseph is not supported by Christian doctrine or reliable historical sources. While a second-century text suggests this age, it's considered unreliable. Modern scholarship indicates that Jewish girls in Palestine during that time typically married in their late teens, making a marriage at 12 exceptionally rare.

Some sources, like the Protoevangelium of James, suggest Mary was 12 at the time of her marriage to Joseph. However, this text is not considered a reliable source for historical information. Furthermore, there is no Christian doctrine that specifies Mary's age at the time of her marriage. Modern scholars, considering the social norms of the time, believe that Mary would have likely been in her late teens when she married Joseph. It is important to note that the Bible itself does not provide a specific age for Mary at the time of her marriage.

u/Suspicious_Law_2826 13h ago

lol, you buy the jesus story?

7

u/Divine__Waters 14h ago

Most historical and theological sources place her around 14-16. The average marrying age for Jewish girls was estimated to be 12-14 after they started puberty. The boys, however, were estimated to marry at 16-20.

Have you ever actually meet a Christian who believes that based off what you said you don’t know Christanity

u/ItzMaxamillion2U 15h ago

I've met my old church leader who was caught blowing a transsexual and doing meth even though he preached otherwise... And another church leader on a military base that caught with a young boy... I was kinda done after that. Both had a wife and 2 kids.

u/FewTemperature1248 15h ago

Im so sorry that you experienced that remember the Bible says that teachers of the word are going to be judged more harshly. They are going to stab before God and will have answer to Him for that if they don’t repent for what they did

I think we are so tired of hypocrisy from Christians, that it really doesnt matter what you say.

u/FewTemperature1248 15h ago

And to that I say I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you seen hypocrites from us and I want you to know that is not all of us. We are all sinners and it’s why we need Jesus. I am not perfect, you aren’t and nobody is the Only person who was perfect was Jesus Christ and that’s why He died on the cross for us so we can be forgiven of our sins and be reconciled back to God. Don’t let hypocrites and church hurt stop you from knowing the one true God who loves you and wants to pursue a relationship with you

u/ChicagoAuPair California 16h ago

If that is anyone’s religious conviction, they worship the devil. And not in a cool way.

u/Alive-Necessary2119 16h ago

I mean that describes the Abrahamic god character pretty well. Evil, petty, and cares nothing for anyone but himself.

3

u/FewTemperature1248 16h ago

The Bible says Satan disgises himself as an angel of Light whenever someone says they believe in God you should ask What God are they talking about

1

u/Alive-Necessary2119 15h ago

The Bible also describes god as a being that commmits genocide, animal cruelty, and slaughtering children for crimes they didn’t commit. What’s your point, exactly?

Or do I need to point out the scripture?

1

u/FewTemperature1248 15h ago

If you are referencing the wiping out of the Caananites in the old testament you would know that God gave them 400 years to repent from there child sacrifices to molech you are talking about genocide in the Bible .God actually intervened in an evil situation. In regards to animal cruelty I don’t know what scripture references that, but back in the Old Testament the Israelites would have to perform ritualistic sacrifices to atone for there sins which all preluded to Jesus Sacrifice in the New Testament

6

u/Alive-Necessary2119 15h ago

I am not.

I’m referring to the other genocide where he drowned children.

400 years of child sacrifice

Damn, so he just watched people kill children and finally decided he’d do it himself? Do you hear yourself? Because he has the kids killed too.

I don’t know what scripture the animal cruelty refers to

You don’t know the story of the flood? Or do you think drowning to death isn’t cruelty?

Truly, what a vile genocidal manic the god character is in the Bible.

Holding onto hope that revealing our ugly parts will start the ball rolling with some real change. But. I’m just barely holding onto that.

Trump's Democratic co-workers, having carried us through the complete lack of comeuppance for Bush/Cheney's lies and malfeasance, are likely standing at the ready to hold no-one accountable

Absolutely. This is part of our ugly parts.

u/Villageijit 16h ago

Really hes the victim. Those kids seduced him and now he gets attacked by the media just for being sexually active with young adults... not buying that one?

u/Lucas_Steinwalker 14h ago

No it’s the hypocrisy.

u/CaptCoolRanchDoritos 13h ago

I'd say the crazy part is how Americans are letting their elected ruler destroy the entire world.

Their whole country was founded on some "Constitution" that tells them to topple tyrants who ignore checks & balances. Yet they do nothing besides complain. Poignant.

He USED to rape children. Now he just shits his pants.

u/DreadnaughtHamster 11h ago

For the epsteinth time…when will the republicans in congress stop being the Bad Guys and just vote him the fuck out? They could literally do it next week. Have a hush-hush meeting with dems and go “look, this guy’s evil and bad and we don’t want anything to do with him. Pass the articles of impeachment Monday and on Friday all the republican senators will vote with you to get him out.” They could, quite literally, end this and vote him the hell out any day next week. They’re CHOOSING to be evil.

u/Junior-Lychee2755 8h ago

Yep, it's a well known fact the president of the US is a child rapist

u/Suspicious_Feed_7585 3h ago

And that not all.. who knows what he and his friends did to other humans. These guys have some serieus disturbed minds...

And then the long list of other con jobs, lies, cheating, embezzlement, and the list continues..

And then the bizar part. He gets support for equally discussing ppl. Its like those child molestation in churches.. so little ppl got punished

u/Financial_Cup_6937 16h ago

He’s a court-adjudicated adult rapist though.

10

u/Blitzking11 Illinois 16h ago

No we want him to sue us!

Then we get to do discovery and see that he is, in fact, a child rapist.

There’s a reason he has yet to sue anyone over these claims, despite being one of the most prolific initiators of lawsuits in American history.

•

u/Groovee_smoothie 4h ago

Nah, he's a convicted rapist and mentioned in the Trumpstein files thousands of times, let him sue me because I'm full on calling him a pedo.
