This poetgirl on Instagram says some off the wall shit.
Some of these old bitches have totally lost their mind and just spread misinformation.
This is more than mildly infuriating for me but I wasn’t quite sure where else to post this lol.
Whatever, the whole point is the religion shouldn’t be in schools in the first place. Get it out.
well this guy deserves to be tarred and feathered
You can’t say tard on the internet! That word is offensive you stupid fucking cunt
i meant tarred as in have molten tar poured on him
Past tense of tar is tarred, tard just means late, like tardy
TIL that nobody in the US military that has died has never ever been Muslim.
What they don’t want you to know is that muslims become immortal while in the US military.
Hey, they never said anything about Muslims in foxholes! Lol
Get out of here with your furfiction degeneracy.
~20% of the slaves brought to America were Muslim. Several fought during the Revolutionary War including Bampett Muhamed, Yusuf ben Ali (also known as Joseph Benhaley), and Joseph Saba: https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/african-muslims-early-america
I’m pretty sure there have been plenty of Jews, Muslims, Atheists, and others that have bled for the US too.
It is pointless to engage with that point of their argument, because the underlying premise that the 10 commandments are hung in the classroom on account of Christians dying for the US is even more wrong.
So by entering the discussion about whether Muslims have fought and died for the US, they will imply that you have accepted their underlying premise. There is no good faith arguing with fascists.
I am one of those that have fought and is not Christian
Ssshhh, you’re making sense, you’ll scare them off!
“Christians” also stole this land and genocided people who had lived here since long before they came. Those who don’t like this should return to where their forefathers came from, no?
Didn’t the Christians have slaves that they brought over fight too? I’m sure some of them had different religious beliefs.
Ouch, did I completely forget that part. Yup, those cultures also must be made widely known
No, because, you see, after a certain amount of time the land just defaults to the ownership of whoever currently occupies the land, morally speaking 🥰. Why yes, I do happen to be the current occupant of the land, why do you ask? Oh, the amount of time? That depends, of course!
Oh, the amount of time? That depends, of course!
“… hmm let me see… hey Johnson, when did we land here again?”
Optional extra
Damn that is so good. Take my upvote!
As Jewish person my school literally had propoganda posters on the wall explicitly justifying genocide and blaming Palestinians for their own deaths
and you tore them down…
I wish, I would have gotten expelled. It doesn’t matter now anyway since I already graduated.
Wrong… A simple google search shows that Muslims did indeed fight in the US revolutionary war along side other colonists
Or you could just say the 10 commandments are part of Islam.
They’re part of the Old Testament, which pulls from Jewish scripture, but it’s all Abrahamic to me. They should post the Beatitudes if they really want to keep things Christian-specific, but they won’t. Why? Just read them (and the corresponding Woes in Luke) and you’ll see. The Wikipedia article should be enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitudes
Mmm problem with the beatitudes is they’re kinda pretty open to interpretation. What do you consider merciful or righteous? Sure its narrowed down pretty well if you follow all of his teachings… but that’s asking a lot of modern American Christians.
Cool, and dickish on rightwingers part. But t also I didn’t realize they were even a minority population then past like- random individuals and families
Post the 10 commandments written in Arabic. Watch the reactive hilarity ensue.
People who don’t know: 😏
People who know: 😏
Yeah, and force them to use Arabic numerals in math class !
Christians fought for the land? You are talking about the genocide of native Americans? The same ones that owned slaves?.. Yeah ok, I understand why YOU like them so much now…
About 20-30% of the people enslaved and deported to the US were Muslims.
The “Christians” brought Islam to North America by force.
That is why they are trying to ban the facts you just shared.
Nothing but pro-White Nationalism propaganda allowed
There’s no hate like christian love
It is really sad since not all Christians are like that
If the ones that aren’t like that gave a fuck they would do literally anything to stop the ones that are. But because that would hurt their precious religion they just ignore it instead.
As far as I’m concerned they are all dog shit people. Willingly turning a blind eye to hate from your own is no better than spewing it yourself.
Yeah, we often see the entire non-terrorist Muslim population being held responsible for not doing enough to condemn terrorism, but Christians are let off the hook for the atrocities of their fundamentalists.
“Your inaction is your admission of guilt”.
What would you have me do?
I can’t control other people
I assure you the ones that arent like that do give a fuck and do what they can with what ability they can when able. A lot of them go non denominational and some are fighting other battles elsewhere.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was murdered by the SS because he didn’t stand idle as his country went full Nazi. He helped with multiple plots to assassinate Hitler, smuggled vulnerable people out of Germany and founded a church that rejected nazification that was later deemed illegal by the Nazis. The guy was a pastor. Do you honestly think he was dogshit for not doing enough?
This also exposes another problem with the original assertion: there’s plenty to do if you’re present, like Bonhoeffer was, but what is there to do if someone lives on the other side of the world? Send a harshly-worded tiktok?
Across the pond there were families that took in those refugees, invited Dietrich to speak to congregations, and stored his letters he sent from prison. In short, we should echo the voices of dissent and give them material support if possible.
Fair, I aspire to be that way. The best I can do right now is to tell people espousing that nonsense over here to cut that shit out

I think the Catholic Church as an institution has abused the trust of a great many wonderful people who have made a relatively understandable mistake, in the sense that everyone is a product of their environment, in supporting its continued existence.
If you want to change their minds, you have to do it with promises & lies.
In the meantime, the pope will continue to shit in the woods.
Oh, fuck off with that bullshit. I don’t even have a desire to describe why and how exactly this way of thinking is crap
The ones that aren’t didn’t do much to stop the ones that are from taking over. You’d think they’d care more about the blasphemous hatred they spew. It makes all Christians look bad.
What would you like me to do? I don’t support the evangelicals.
There’s not much of anything you can do as an individual other than publicly denounce them. This is something church leaders should have nipped in the bud a long time ago.
Every 2000 years or so, religion goes to war with itself. Big war.
In the years between, it’s basically disputes over what to call the omnipotent being or which shoe to worship.
What does stopping American Christofascists from reconstructing the US government into a baldly authoritarian cesspit look like for normal, moderate Christians? And how does it differ from what theists of other religions and atheists could do to stop the same thing (reconstruction of the US government)?
It’s decades too late at this point, but not accepting the far-right fundamentalists who were spewing clearly non-Christ-like rhetoric as fellow Christians would have been a good start. This applies more to church leadership than lay people, although a general sense of not accepting them from everyone would have still helped. They were happy to consider them when counting how many people in the US were Christian. Unlike non-theists and theist non-Christians alike, all Christians gain a lot by being the de facto state religion despite it supposedly being illegal.
You also can fuck right off. Didn’t do much my ass
Considering the evangelicals hold all the political power, they apparently didn’t. If they did try to fight them, they did a terrible job.
Lol. That’s funny. Do it again
Not all that segregate are doomed to hate. Just most.
Thanks for not telling us “we are going to hell”, we’re already here.
Adjective-noun-number profile? That’s a bot
It is not. I confirmed it by digging further. It is a teacher from Texas
or just someone tired of making up usernames and thus using bitwarden’s username generator.
Sure, not saying that’s guaranteed. But it’s definitely a red flag
So we should display religious things of only the original occupiers of the land? I don’t think she’s going to be happy with the conclusion there.
I for one am all for this plan. Schools would be a lot cooler if they were decorated by the local Native American tribes.
Never underestimate the kinks of people.
As long as someone beneath me gets hurt at least a little bit…
Haven’t you heard? “European whites” are actually natives now. That’s literally what those fascists on Jubilee said and were cheering for.
They will just change the reality if we let them.
The Clovis people?
The basis of most modern day US Republican policies is simply might makes right.
Right!
And the land of the free(not you) and the home of the brave(Until we killed them all off with blankets full of smallpox)
“Nyeah nyeah, my god is better than yours” - some cunt failing to realize they worship the same god
aka a nonexistant one
But the same nonexistent god of Abraham.
pretty much, but it doesn’t matter to them. What matters is what wrote the mastermind that invented all this bullshit and wrote it in a book so they can profit from it
