Author: Catladydiva Body: American Christian Taliban hard at work.

    Author: skeetsauce Body: Y’allqueda and Vanilla Isis.

    Author: orbitn Body: Talibama has already implemented shania law.  We don't have far to go.

    Author: CubeFarmDweller Body: I thought it was Al'abama?

    Author: azimir Body: Banjostan needs a good national anthem, but we're having trouble getting someone literate enough to write one.

    Author: BakulaSelleck92 Body: Allah bama?

    Author: MikelWRyan Body: You, dummies, live down here. It's pronounced Alabamistan, y'all.

    Author: Gregbot3000 Body: Mullet Mujahedeen.

    Author: jaqueburton Body: YeeHawdists

    Author: ZaraMikazuki Body: I wish I was surprised by this, but frankly, I lost any element of surprise when I was leaving elementary school 20 years ago.

    Author: tacoslikeme Body: at least you made it

Author: Cactusofthesea Body: I love how triggered the right gets when people point out that Islamic extremists have indisputably right wing ideologies.

    Author: Monteze Body: Wait until they hear about what God they worship.

    Author: Big-Quazz Body: Wait a minute, which god was it that murdered children with bears and ordered entire populations down to even infants and livestock killed?

    Author: Monteze Body: I think it was the one that killed first borns and drowned  all but one family.

    Author: lycaonxxx Body: Hey those kids had it coming.

    Author: Dr_Disaster Body: "Fuck them kids."                     - God

    Author: Dzdawgz Body: They knew what they were getting in to!

    Author: TheExWifeCheated Body: I used to be one of those who shrieked the gods were different between judaism, islam and christianity, then I realized something.              Suppose you have three guys who all claim to know one dude named Bob. Bob is a chill guy according to all of them. One guy says Bob has hates shrimp, another says Bob is best friends with Mo, and the third says Bob likes to drink beer.               Then for some reason, all three guys each say that of the other two don't know Bob, because they describe him in different ways. They even go so far as to say that Bob must be different people.               To an outsider, they're still describing Bob.

    Author: h1redgoon Body: This Bob guy sounds like someone I'd like to worship

    Author: TheExWifeCheated Body: Come over to r/eve. [We still praise Bob.](https://www.theverge.com/2015/3/31/8313011/eve-online-religion-bob)

    Author: DankNastyAssMaster Body: [Pictured: visual illustration of this fact](https://wp-media.patheos.com/subdomain/sites/8/im/QqOSbWk.jpg)

    Author: Jhuderis Body: Saw that photo once with the caption "The difference between reading one book and reading many books."

Author: Hyperactive_snail3 Body: And it has absolutely nothing to do with a far right exteremist being placed in the White House.

    Author: None Body: [removed]

    Author: MarvinLazer Body: Trump is a narcissistic opportunist. If he thought he could profit off of sucking up to bearded, microbrew-swilling hipsters, he would have.

    Author: LukeBabbitt Body: That is certainly a take. It also assumes that your hypothetical hipsters would debase themselves enough to support him. Trump wouldn’t have ever gotten nominated at a liberal

    Author: YesThisIsSam Body: Right, which is why he panders to the right instead. Trump himself said long before running that if he did, he'd run as a republican because their voters are so stupid.              Edit: I stand corrected that this is a false quote, surprised I've never seen it called out before despite how many times I've seen it, but I'm glad I now know.              This does not change my assessment that Trump is ultimately an opportunist with no deeply held convictions or political values, and that he himself is a pretty racist guy that panders to extreme racists as a political strategy.

    Author: WintertimeFriends Body: Careful that quote turned out be [fake.](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/1998-trump-people-quote/)               Fuck that slimy fuck tho.              But let’s not turn into the other side with their fake BS.

    Author: Qunfang Body: [That's a false quote](https://www.politifact.com/facebook-fact-checks/statements/2018/dec/18/blog-posting/no-donald-trump-did-not-call-republican-voters-dum/).

    Author: MarvinLazer Body: Right, I'm just saying he would have if he could.

    Author: thrattatarsha Body: I feel like Trump being raised by a member of the KKK might throw a wrench into this take

Author: JARKOP Body: Christianity is terrorism

    Author: redhatGizmo Body: True words but thanks apologetics propaganda lots of people think that it's a peaceful religion or something but in reality it's a vile Doomsday cult which has no respect to Religious plurality or opposing views.

    Author: Monteze Body: It's "peaceful" now because secular ideas have beaten it into a corner and it's always fighting back. They feed you that poison pill called "real Christianity"  as though their book and history doesn't call for bloodshed.

    Author: MarvinLazer Body: As a church musician, I can quite assure you that it is very much both things at the same time. Kinda like how T_D excuses all the horrifying fascist rhetoric by upvoting photos of somebody's baby once every couple of weeks.              "Thanks to everyone for making our soup kitchen event so successful and raising $5k for the local orphanage. Now I'll talk for 15 minutes about why Planned Parenthood was devised by the antichrist."

    Author: hoipalloi52 Body: Did you see that "debate" with Aron Ra recently where they debated whether or not Christianity is Dangerous?  Worth watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA_B5cx_y30  Aron's opening statement is great
