Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.

Why anyone would vote for these Republican clowns is beyond my understanding.

Most surprisingly, evangelicals, who are devinely commanded to be good stewards and protectors of creation, seem to completely ignore environmental protection. Extremely unchristian.

The evangelicals seem to be trying to accelerate their end times, which also brings rationalization that present day and future climate conditions are irrelevant because they'll be swept up into the sweet, sweet air conditioned confines of their heavenly city while they laugh at the libtards left behind burning up in the aftermath.

Conservatives have been programmed to believe that everything the other side says is a lie (it's not) and that they are good people (they are not). They believe in their assumptions rather than facts. They put more faith in heavily edited books from 2000 years ago than modern science.

Correction, they put their faith in what people tell them those books say. They don't actually read or comprehend the books.

For the low low price of a little mea culpa on Sunday you too can be a raging pustule the rest of the week too…

Just buy the 2 for 1 Pope bobble heads

Yes, but if the apocalypse happens, they get Jesus back and the joy of watching all of us sinners burn in a lake of fire.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Pretty much by definition with Christianity, if you'd enjoy seeing others in the lake of fire, you'll be right beside them.

It's weird so many "Christians" don't have any interest in actually being Christian

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You would think they would actually read and comprehend those stories, it is them that would burn.

[-] evatronic@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

The Bible said Jesus was coming back "within their [the disciples'] lifetimes". We're about 2,000 (+/-50) years late for that.

Because they protect you from the real evil: woke genders and trans people!

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Well, evangelical Christianity is pretty literally a doomsday cult TRYING to bring about the apocalypse, so, they ignore those parts.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.

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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
