wish I could spit in the face of every fucking idiot who feels the urge to spread Christianity in any way. keep that idiotic bullshit tf from my life, you're all clowns and actors

[–] kubica@fedia.io 13 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It's counterproductive, even for the ones that once thought it was a way to improve society. They are just being used, and should reconsider if they are doing more harm than good.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 12 points 17 hours ago

They are just being used, and should reconsider

Reconsider?! Whoa there. That's too much like thinkin' which is the devil's work.

I'm a man, Paula. You gonna submit to me?

[–] kitmayfield@lemmy.world 39 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Why is there even a faith office? gtfooh

[–] tal@lemmy.today 2 points 9 hours ago

Dates back to Bush's "Office of Faith-Based Initiatives". Sounds like it gets hauled out again whenever it feels like support from the religious crowd might be a little soft.

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago

Well because they’re Nazis

[–] FirstCircle@lemmy.ml 20 points 17 hours ago

Because the "Heritage" foundation paid for it, and they're a bunch of Xian Fundies. Project 2025 (which Trump knows absolutely nothing about, he says so himself) is their baby.

This lady has been divorced twice.

Not that I otherwise care. Do what you want with your life and relationships - life is complex and difficult at times. Not every relationship works out, sadly.

But for a twice-divorced lady to tell women to “submit to men,” it sounds like she herself has a problem keeping her trap shut and submitting to a man. The hypocrisy is so thick here you can cut it with a knife.

Rules for thee but not for me.

[–] vodkasolution@feddit.it 3 points 14 hours ago

She divorced because the husbands every day asked her how she felt and what wanted to eat, and that's unacceptable, the husbands gotta decide!

"I do not permit a woman to teach, or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence."

1 Timothy 2:12

[–] tal@lemmy.today 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

So, you'd think that, but maybe she's just talking to women.

If you don't figure in an "it's okay for women to teach women" angle, Proverbs 31:26 gets a little awkward:

She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

Someone remind MTG of that when she goes off

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago

Look, I understand that might be your kink, but leave that shit in your house lady and stop trying to make other people be part of your kink.

Cunt.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 17 hours ago

Stop making your bedroom play everyone else' problem. If you want to be a submissive in a consensual bdsm dynamic you do you but leave everyone else who doesn't want to participate out of it

[–] boughtmysoul@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago

So then why does she have a job right now?

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 12 points 17 hours ago

All right, then go fuck off to a cave and live out your miserable existence away from society

[–] RotatingParts@lemmy.ml 6 points 15 hours ago

Break the bonds that bind you. Give up religion and you are free from everyone that tries to tell you what god wants.

[–] RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago

Someone tell her to go read 1 Timothy 2:12

"White House Faith Office", that sounds like someone is pushing the "Faith" branch of their current Frostpunk playthrough a bit too far. Next up are the "Faith keepers". Ugh.

Shit's fucked.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 17 hours ago

women must 'submit' to men

Does that include trans women? 😜

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 7 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

This feels like kink shaming, women can be doms too.

See that takes all the fun out of BDSM.

If she has to submit to me then it's not a willing exchange of power and it removes the pleasure of gaining control where you have none (or I suspect the opposite is true for subs - the pleasure of giving up control that you have to maintain).

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Is this the prosperity gospel person? I wouldn't take advice on Christianity from an antichrist-ian. You cannot serve Jesus and mamon. Anyone following trump is serving mamon.

"I'm up here working on the initiatives for President Trump, who's been in ministry for 40 years and understands it," she insisted.

It is hard to read that kind of statement without thinking about a wide variety of toys and things to do with them.

Shared this with the wife. Her response:

Fuck you, no. You get what you give.

Sums it up pretty nicely.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 1 points 9 hours ago

Tell her that that great moral authority, the Trump administration, says otherwise.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

"I'm up here working on the initiatives for President Trump, who's been in ministry for 40 years and understands it,"

I'm sorry what the hell?!?? Trump has been in ministry for 40 years?

[–] tal@lemmy.today 1 points 9 hours ago

It's a broader sense of the word "ministry".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_ministry

Christian ministry is the vocational work of living and teaching about faith, in the hopes of increasing the population of God's people done by the church, church officials, congregational members, and Jesus followers. The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature defines Christian ministry as "to denote a devotion to the interests of God's cause, and, in a technical sense, the work of advancing the Redeemer's kingdom".[1] All ministry may fall under the call of, the Great Commission, that Jesus presented to his disciples to continue the spread of the Gospel.

While the spread of the Gospel is every believers purpose, the primary and only vocation of the bible is to live a life aligned with God, as his children, towards the purpose of displaying the love of Jesus through one's actions and decisions. Some see vocation as one's true calling professionally, yet others see it as a furthering of God's kingdom not the occupation, like Maitland states "the work itself is not the vocation".[2] Vocation calls Christian ministry to reach all aspects of ones life, a way of life many believe. In short, Christian ministry, as a whole, is any vocational work done for the sake of the Great Commission.

Someones ministry is shaped by what they feel called to do. Vocation can be any activity as a whole, or specific activities, or organizations within a church dedicated to specific activities. Some ministries are identified formally as such, and some are not; some ministry is directed towards members of the church, and some towards non-members.

Now, personally, I think that sticking Trump into that category is pretty bonkers too, but what I'm getting at is that she's not saying that he's an ordained priest or anything like that.
