Oklahoma Republican on death of nonbinary teen: We are a "Christian state and will fight to keep out that filth"
Oklahoma Rep On Death Of Nonbinary Teen: We Are A "Christian State And Will Fight To Keep Out That Filth" - Joe.My.God.
Ah yes, just like Jesus said in the New Testament...
And Jesus said to his followers, "screw all the trans teens for they are filth, and murdering them is totally okay. Especially in Oklahoma." -Bubba the Bigot, 7:12
Seriously though, these pieces of shit should stop referring to themselves as 'followers of Christ'. They are disgraces to the human race.
Oh man has he never read his own state's Constitution?
"no inhabitant of the State shall ever be molested in person or property on account of his or her mode of religious worship; and no religious test shall be required for the exercise of civil or political rights." source
Also the word "Christ" or "Christian" never shows up in the state Oklahoma Constitution, so I'm not sure where he's getting his "Christian state" idea from except possibly out of his own ass.
It goes even further to exclude state money from going to religious purposes:
"No public money or property shall ever be appropriated, applied, donated, or used, directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit, or support of any sect, church, denomination, or system of religion, or for the use, benefit, or support of any priest, preacher, minister, or other religious teacher or dignitary, or sectarian institution as such." source
Oh man has he never read his own state’s Constitution?
Bold of you to assume he can read. He probably "reads" his state's constitution the same way he "reads" the bible.
That is to say, like all charlatans, selectively.
Oh man has he never read
You could have stopped there. The answer is no.
You should be up top
I love hearing about morality from Christians. They always say if you don't believe in god then you can have no basis for morality. Then they talk about all the people they want to exterminate for simply living their lives. There's no hate quite like Christian love.
The full quote is even more ridiculous:
We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state — we are a moral state. We want to lower taxes and let people be able to live and work and go to the faith they choose.
-Tom Woods (R) Adair
I fucking hate my state. And country. I just want to leave.
It's like chat gpt wrote it.
This stuff, right here, is why I have distanced myself so hard from the Christian church. They feel like a hate group now, and it's depressing. None of these people behave the way I was taught to.
I hate my state. I pretty much just live here because it's actually affordable.
alabamian over here, feeling your pain
Ah yes... I see. A taxonomic game. This asshat believes Non-binary people aren't "people" so there's no hypocrisy there as far as he can see.
I hope everyone who applauded him in that room gets some rightly deserved karmatic retribution.
This is why i dont believe in god.
Cause if god was real
and he was kind and loving like Christians try to tell you he is.
This motherfucker would have been lightning bolted.
“We are a Christian state”
No we are fucking not. Resign now and get out.
Always so much class from the Republican Party.
Once again Shitty Republican Christians proving there's no hate like Christian love.
They really are just like Islamic extremists.
Soon to be caught in a gay meetup.
Something something separation of church and state‽
there is no hate like Christian love, a daily affirmation
"we just love killin' kids" -republicans.
Then he should leave or off himself!
Republicans: So Pro Life they APPLAUD DEAD KIDS!
On the list.
Nazi puke. Meet a Nazi pukes's end, you bastard....oh, wait. You will: Matthew 7:21
SEND THAT MAN A SWASTIKA!
So I would like to point out that it wasn't me saying it this time. They claimed it for themselves.
As a Christian, I can tell you that is not a Christian sentiment at all, that is hate. Jesus preached to love your neighbor, not condemn them and toss them aside. It is through unconditional love that we are to show people what we stand for. Just look at who Jesus hung out with: prostitutes, tax collectors, and other social outcasts. No wonder why he was unpopular at the time.
It is so disheartening to see people proclaim themselves as Christian and not understanding and living its core values. I don't care whether or not the Bible says it's a sin. Sinner or not, that doesn't affect how I treat people. It is a tragedy when anyone is targeted by bullying, and it hurts even more because of their death. We should be pushing for change to give trans people safety, not casting them aside. That is what a real Christian would do. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Man, half of America really doesn’t care what the rest of the world thinks of them anymore, do they? Because this right here? This kinda looks like some ISIS shit.
It's not even half. Every time people are surveyed for whether or not they support conservative policies, political stances, etc the highest it tends to get is ~30% of the population are in support. The more extreme the position the smaller the support.
Yes, but that is if you ask them about the issues. Try asking them about their team... I mean political party
I would guess 8/10 Americans never think about what the world thinks of them.
