I'm sure when atheists and satanists start proselytising there will be outrage - "we really meant Christians should allowed to bother their co-workers not you guys"

I bet you a coke this is to fuck with the FFRF and MRFF, two great orgs trying to keep religion out of our gov.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So this is where the new new atheist movement will start.

Also, remember epstein? whatever happened to that guy?

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

I'm more concerned about his files.

Time to found Epsteinology, a religion based around the release and realization of the Great Nefarious Files to bring about the Grand Awakening and destruction of the Orange Menace for the good of all Humanity.

Not to be confused with epistemology, which also poses a grave risk to the MAGA cult.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

Their beliefs are more like Piss-stain-ology.

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

Ha! Yeah that one produces anaphylaxis in most Magats... I'm not necessarily opposed to that either.

I don't think people really understand what's comming. Everyone's like "so now everyone can talk about their respective religion, haha". But where I see this going is only the one right religion being acceptable in near future and everyone who's making clever remarks being outlawed and prosecuted. The fact we're not there yet makes the obvious progression to that none the less scary.

I don't think you realize that christians aren't as popular as they were before. There are a LOT of others and non religious. I don't think christians are going to enjoy the process as much as they think.

Frankly, I'd never hire or do business with a fundie. It's hard to put my finger on it, but there's something about their desire to enslave or kill nonbelievers that makes me uncomfortable.

They will once the rule is unevenly applied in their favor. Which it will be.

It’s giving Under His Eye, Blessed be the Fruit vibes tbh.

For anyone else who also doesn't recognize this, it's a greeting phrase from the TV show A Handmaid's Tale.

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

"Please talk about anything else but the epstein files"

Satanism pamphlets in the break room!

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Let's see what happens if I start promoting atheism and mocking belief in Bronze Age alpha males in the sky.

[–] CritFail@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Surely that goes both ways, and one side has a lot more evidence...

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 3 points 6 days ago

Everything is "evidence" when your side has "faith" and "control of the government"

[–] Bot@sub.community 7 points 6 days ago

Hail Hydra :)

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 4 points 6 days ago

Ugh. Looking at the comment sections in posts about religious authoritarians, is about as insufferable as the comment sections in posts asking people to reduce their animal consumption.

According to Trump, "re-thinking" means "doubling down no matter what, especially if you're wrong".

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

oh OH I've seen this episode before!
