@mhansen Just to clarify, I don't think non-religious people *need* to know about all kinds of religious, I just think that people pick things up about the most common religions in your community from hearing public discourse

@mhansen I think that, for a nonbeliever, just to know there are different kinds is more than enough. Like, I couldn't tell you the difference from a GM or a Volkswagen, but I'm aware they're somehow different cars 😅

@Huntn00 @persagen times like this is I think that their should be a "meta-political" party. One that demands competence and knowledge instead of ideologues and rhetoric.

Fucking shit. These people are chowderheads.

@Huntn00 I watched a Florida gelato public sales business owner who voted for DeSantis solely because DeSantis opened businesses early in the pandemic (risking peoples' health ...). The owner sold more gelato, made more money, was thrilled.

Likewise an illegal immigrant (2020; midwest; 60 minutes?) - long established restaurateur who bought into Trump's reduce taxes; immigration pardons propaganda; ... voted for Trump so he could make more money; applied for citizenship; deported to Mexico

@Jey_snow Not really, it’s simple awareness or general knowledge that in the realm of God/Jesus there are Catholics and those not Catholic- Lutheran, Presbyterian, Babptist, etc. As far as people in Germany who describe themselves as protestant, I don’t know other than they are saying they are not Catholic? Or maybe they don’t want to divulge more than that. 🤔

@persagen The choice is between an old traditional, liberal leaning politician who cares about the country or an old, corrupt, poisonous, destructive, self-destructive, mafia style POS whose desire is to destroy the United States of America and have himself crowned Emperor over the Fascist States of America. How hard of a choice is it? 🤔
Yet, consider the self-employed Hispanics I know, decent people otherwise, who voted for Trump because he is “good for our business”. My god we’re f*cked. 😪

@Huntn00 interesting, that last part sounds very German (Datenschutz). Thanks for the insight :)

On July 19, 1963, a group of Black girls marched to desegregate their small town theater in Americus, Georgia.

The local police responded by beating them and taking them to an old Civil War stockade, where they were kept for 45 days.

Their parents didn't have a clue where their children were.

Joe Biden’s Twitter account put that line over an ad using the words of Georgia Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Turning Points Action Conference speech from last weekend, in which she set out to tear down the president’s policies but ended up making him sound terrific."

The United States Supreme Court has already spoken, humiliating the state in front of the nation. But our lawmakers in Montgomery have no sense of shame. As they redraw the maps, again, these lawmakers have learned nothing. https://link.al.com/view/5efe4c2042ce88753244f961j4m4r.2wu/3e172864

"Well after the failed SARS reports, bank records, form 10-23," Raskin quipped, "we can conclude that this Inspector Clouseau-style quest for something that doesn't exist has turned our Committee into a theater of the absurd; an exercise in futility and embarrassment." https://www.rawstory.com/biden-raskin/
