i never knew exactly how bad the fundie problem is in the US

i mean i know there are hardcore christians in the sense they follow the complete opposite of the moral teachings the bible has but i didn't know that there is literally a fascist theocratic undercurrent in the US that actively teaches children to be drones

what is the percentage of this Jack Chick like cult activity that consists of christianity?

Yes I think the Duggars are weird, creepy, tacky and kitschy. I just find progressive sanctimony on this issue particularly nauseating. The same reason I don't like the Roman Catholics much but find the leftist obsession with priestly abuse (as opposed to say, sexual abuse in the entertainment industry) vomit-inducing.

Confounding Factor posted:

I find sanctimony in general very irritating. This means lots of religious conservatives rub me the wrong way, too. It's just with the religious right, that's kind of the point, whereas you'd think leftists would show a little more worldly sophistication. Instead, they're often the most pompous and self-righteous of all, viz. UVA rape hoax, Trayvon, global warming mania, etc etc.

The hosed up thing about Conservatives'/Christian zealots' persecution complexes is they don't realize that in reality the hurdle (though they're drawing a high jump?) is the same height for everyone. Christians pretend they jump 10 feet higher than that hurdle and when some of their number only manage to get 2 inches off the ground of course we point it out. They're the ones who've spent the last few decades criticizing how high the rest of us jump.

I mentioned this to my mom and she said they shouldn't have cancelled the show, which made me a bit... concerned. But then she said that since those people are such idiots TLC should have kept their show on, with the requirement that Josh and all the victims get heavy therapy and have the show talk about hotlines and resources for victims to come forward. Since obviously now none of them are going to get treatment and they're just gonna double down on the crazy.

It creeps me out how all these people say poo poo like, "well, everyone would (be gay/molest children/kill people) if God weren't here to say no! We all have to fight the temptation!"

Well, no, we don't. If you're tempted to have sex with someone of your own gender, you're gay. If you're tempted to molest a child, you're a loving disgusting piece of poo poo pedophile, and if you're tempted to kill people, you're a psychopath. Normal people aren't tempted to gently caress children, you creepy bastards!

Serious question: what do the Quiverfull and associated fundies think of black/hispanic people?

Obviously they hate brown people as filthy unclean heathen muslim/hindu/buddhists, but what do they think about black Christians?

Obviously as rednecks they hate them, but I am curious as to how they justify it biblically. Do they use the Mormon "their skin is darkened because they are sinners" poo poo?

No doubt for similar underlying reasons.

There's actually some pretty compelling evidence that most egregious quotes attributed to Paul regarding women and sexuality in his letters (including Duggar favorite 1 Corinthians 14:34) were forgeries added after Paul's death by a backlash movement toward conservatism within the early Christian church, one that wanted to walk back the enormous challenges that Jesus' teachings posed to the social status quo. Those bits do certainly directly conflict with other Pauline writings like Galatians 3:28 ("There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus") enough for it be a believable supposition. Turns out that telling rich people that they ought to share their wealth with poor people, men that they ought to treat women like equals, and high-status people that they ought to be friends with slaves, whores, and beggars is not a good way to be generally popular! At least not unless you present all that poo poo as strictly optional compared to regular church attendance and tithing, which is what Christian fundamentalism has done. It's amazing seeing someone re-interpret "not through works alone" as "gently caress you, got mine" with a perfectly straight face.

I mean, he might as well, they're already halfway there with the welfare queening and the child molestation.

TNG posted:

But really, what sort of future are they setting their children up for? The education they push only teaches things like proper victim behaviors, any sort of scientific progress made in the last 300 years is all lies and devilry, what sort of clothing on women is sinful, and that any critical thinking and opposition to the head of the family will cause you to go to hell. I don't see any development of life or job skills, encouragement to go into fields not related to spreading of their particular brand of ignorance, or generally anything of the sort that would make any of them employable or otherwise useful outside the compound.

Even with the gutting of our education system, the Duggars and their ilk are more so disadvantaged since anything involving not being a professional politician, a brood mare, a used car salesman, or physical laborer is not even on the menu. Jim Bob is going to die, and gormless emotional cripple Josh is going to take over and what then? I highly doubt that the Duggar boys are going to start or be involved in any career that would pay a decent wage. Trying to take over Arkansas, Tennessee, and Colorado are nice and everything, but the real world has technical and professional obstacles that their educations will not prepare them for in the slightest.

I wonder how pissed off the Honey Boo Boo woman is about this right now. I mean, she hangs out with a child molester and her show gets pulled and she becomes a social pariah. The Duggers have a child molester in the family and they get interviews and people defending them for doing morally reprehensible poo poo like covering it up and making the sisters live with their abuser.

This is a while back, and was old news to most people but the "Nike" stuff was something I didn't know about.

And it is just so horrifyingly misogynistic, even by JimBob standards.

The women, who are forbidden to work and told how to dress and coif their hair, and are considered either baby machines or flithy tempting whores, (even at 5 years old), are required to be the guardians of men's virtue by telling them to avert their eyes whenever they may encounter a *gasp* woman in the wild.

So not only are women to blame, and carry teh sin for causing male lust, no matter how inadvertently they do it, they also have to police that lust and are probably found sinful and lacking if they fail.

"It's not my fault I molested my 5 year old sister. It is your fault for not telling me to look down when I saw that sexy bitches sexy ankles in the street yesterday. And it is my sisters fault for being so alluring. Shame on you."

gently caress you Jim Bob. gently caress you and all who think like you.
