Okay… so follow my logic. God made man in his image, then some time later, made woman in mans image. Therefore, we should at least expect God to be as different from a man as a man is from a woman. I would in fact argue that we should expect God to be even more different, as going from a mortal being to a different mortal being is less of a jump as going from a immortal omnipotent being to a mortal being.
Arguing over fictional characters is super constructive
While I agree that part is silly, at least Talarico is using his belief to try to implement much-needed change.
Lotta folks that actually bother to vote are Christian, so I think he’s Texas’ best bet at turning blue.
I am not a religious person (but was raised catholic) - I wouldn’t have issues voting for him based on that article - he seems far better informed regarding the word of christ than any of those screeching republican harpies, and seems to have the best in mind for the citizens of his state.
“MY GOD HAS A DICK!! IT’S BIG AND VEINY AND THROBBING AND NOBODY’S GONNA TELL ME DIFFERENT!!!” - Evangelicals, apparently.
Turns out they also don’t like it when you say that. It’s like pick a lane people
God is a hermaphrodite. There. I said it.
So is my cat, who I worship, so that checks out.
Cat in question, who is very deserving of worship.
Cock n’ ball n’ pussycat?
Why does a politicians views on magic sky daddy matter to anyone anywhere at any time?
Because magic sky daddy is the most important thing to many people in many places, all the time. Because they’ve been conditioned to believe that if someone doesn’t hold the correct views on magic sky daddy, they’ll suffer for all eternity, and so they live in constant fear that they or their children might become misled by the incorrect views on magic sky daddy. This stuff is deeply internalized.
And that’s a part of the material conditions we operate in. We ignore them at our peril.
Because stupid breads at a far greater rate than intelligent and educated people. Unless your one of those rightwing psychopaths that’s all about seeding the population with your “superior” genetics.
breads
your
You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you, and you forgot the God who gave you birth.
Deuteronomy 32:18. This is the lot that would insist that men cannot give birth, right?
That’s a really poor translation. It sounds more like God gave the “you” reproductivity.
Newsflash, dipshits: God doesn’t have a penis or a vagina. God isn’t human.
So you’re saying God is so non binary that they are non gendered?
God is nonbiological so no gender. Or all genders. If God is in everything, then there are some bacteria with 23 or so sexes, so God possesses genders beyond the scope of human consciousness.
Sorry about the correction, but that number isn’t right on two levels.
1: bacteria didn’t have sexes. Sometimes they will exchange plasmids via a direct pilus or will pick up strays in the environment.
2: that number is often cited from a book describing certain slime molds (which aren’t molds) as having that few, when almost every species we found have something in the 100’s. But what I think is cool is that some species of actual fungi have something like 72,000 compatible sexes.
Yes, this. And an attack helicopter.
Infinary.
Ungendered. Degendered. Omnigendered?
Polygenderous
One of the basic problems with theists is that they have no idea what God is.
“God is love.” In what way? God is just an emotion related to a chemical reaction in the brain?
“God is all powerful.” Can he microwave a burrito so hot that even he can’t eat it?
“God is omniscient.” If everything in the future is already known, then what’s the point?
It just goes on and on. Either God is some vague impossibility, or he’s exactly the same as a human male, somehow. But a human male is not the same as God, so that can’t really be right. But nobody can even give a real framework as to what he could be.
If you can’t describe God no matter how hard you try, then what the hell are you believing in? That’s the basis for ignosticism.
i just believe in a giant space crustacean it’s easier and funnier. and crab sandwiches taste better than jeezits.
And iirc, they are referred to using terms for both male and female in the original language of the text.
I have no opinion on if God is NB. But he’s very clearly in a same-sex union with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Throuple
The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit, gaymen.
God is dating his son???
they just call each other daddy
That really isn’t that weird in the grande scheme of things
or particularly unusual for deities
I’ve had a pastor argue it a number of years ago and it did make sense at the time, it was based on how God referred to using a feminate city name or something similar
Nah, God is a Trinity. Therefore they’re nonbinary. Also, since the religious right doesn’t want to imagine God as using their obviously male penis in any way, shape, or form, they’re asexual.
So God is a Thruple, got it.
Why are you booing him he’s theologically correct?
What in the ever loving fuck is wrong with the GOP?
They aren’t smart and they lack critical thinking skills. And that’s just their voting base.
The ones that are smart are also rich sociopaths and psychopaths that are actively trying to excise empathy from their entire party.
I think it’d take less time to write down the things that aren’t.
Ya got me curious on what would be on that list. I got nothing coming to mind.
I’d say the ability to out themselves as pedophiles and get themselves locked away from society is a positive.
I don’t know either, but I’d say my original point stands. “nothing” is still shorter than saying “everything”
Cute animal in the logo.
And they also… No, that’s actually it.
How can they be so sure God is male though? Have they checked God’s genitals?
God is not allowed in the women’s bathroom.
So do all your sinning there, he can’t see you!
Aren’t God’s genitals painted on some ceiling somewhere?
Because Yaweh was originally male.
Christianity tends to be patriarchal. No point getting clever about it… Followers of “faith” aren’t philosophers. They believe in unreason.
The control of far too many of the levers of power and influence in our society rest on ensuring a majority of the population is unbelievably stupid. I think its what I hate most about the current fascist formula in use. It feels like peoples’ ability to survive on their own has been stolen from them.
If it’s any reassurance, the human race has historically been even stupider and less educated. It’s better today by leaps and bounds.
100 years ago, the world literacy rate was in the 20-30% range. Today, it’s ~85%.
The bad news is that the oligarchs use literacy as a weapon, through targeted media. So, yeah, it’s not so much stupidity we’re seeing, it’s just brainwashing, pure and simple.
Wtf US. Talrico literally supports building fossil fuel infrastructure.
He’s right of center, and definitely not rad
he’s from texas
