Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So, before I 'saw the light' and realized all religions were based on an ambiguous, contradictory, flat out made-up-by-mankind fairy tales, I spent years in different sects of christianity. Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Assemblies of God, Non-dom Evangelical, Messianic Jews (and ain't that an oxymoron!) These "teachings" were widely accepted in Pentecostal, AOG, and Evangelical churches. I scored roughly 33% sanguine, melancholic, and phlegmatic, lol. Nobody knew what to do with me!
As odd and crazy and backwards this seems to those of us who have beaten our way out of the wet-paper-bag-that-is-Christianity (or have never been in the wet paper bag, you lucky ducks), this makes total and complete sense to those who are still in the echo chamber of Christianity.
Total and complete sense, PERFECT sense.
They believe in this shit, like really believe in it.
She and her husband have been lied to and fooled, and I wouldn't give a damn, except that he is in a position of leadership in this country...and he's a true believer, one who will change our country into a theocracy if given the chance.
We'd better all hope Biden and Kamala survive the next few years, because this man taking on the presidency would set us back centuries. He'd take us to Gilead if he could.
Oh damn, you were deeper than I ever got lmao. Used to be nondenominational but attended a Baptist church (though ironically never got around to getting baptized). I even taught children's ministry via AWANAs.
What's the point of these personality tests though? I feel like anyone from the church is used to attend would even find these on the extreme side lol
I taught Sunday school and Missionettes, my husband taught Sunday school and Royal Rangers; we both taught puppet ministry. (All over the tri state area) And I am so freaking ashamed.
The purpose of the personality tests was to determine how you 'received' a teaching and how you would teach others. At least as far as I remember.
Interesting. Reeks of scientology ironically lol
Also, fuck the RR. Glad you guys got out. I feel you though, I think about all the kids I used to help indoctrinate all the time. Probably why I'm so vocal about atheism and really critical of hypocrisy in religion now. End of the day you do you, but if you claim to be religious I am 100% going to call you out if I catch you doing something you claim to be against
