Can you tell them apart?

Yes I can. Without reading the article. Ned Flanders is a good, kind, generous person despite his weird religious beliefs. Mike Johnson is none of those things.

"My wife spent the last few weeks on her knees in prayer to the lord, and, uh, she's a little worn out."

-Actually Mike Johnson, somehow.

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Okay, I cannot help but think that 'the lord' is their name for his dick.

[-] Tujio@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It's like Joel Dongsteen

[-] ares35@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

odds on it wasn't praying that wore her out?

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 12 points 11 months ago

99% chance it was praying. Fundies are weird about sex for pleasure and anything that isn't missionary.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Outwardly. Behind closed doors they are some of the most fucked up people that exist.

[-] mrichey@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

The only one I got wrong.

[-] art@lemmy.world 62 points 11 months ago

This was pretty easy because Ned is not an asshole.

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 42 points 11 months ago

“[My wife] spent the last couple of weeks on her knees in prayer to the Lord. And, um, she’s a little worn out.”

Only one I missed.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 20 points 11 months ago

Maude Flanders had amazing endurance for praying to the lord. You insult her memory by insinuating that she would get tired.

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

You insult her memory

Maude passed?! What happened?! Damn. This is terrible news.

[-] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 11 points 11 months ago

Me too. That's insane

[-] downhomechunk@midwest.social 4 points 11 months ago

Me too. Stupid sexy flanders.

Less time on your back, more time on your knees is the only one I missed! I know my sweet Neddy.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 28 points 11 months ago

The Ark Encounter is one way to bring people to this recognition of the truth, that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events.

Ah, yes. The ark museum that required modern structural engineering techniques and materials, teams of construction crews and not just a family of eight, and active ventilation to continually remove the toxic levels of methane that wood naturally produces.

Such a factually true account of history.

If you remove all the ungodly building codes and laws and regulations, you can make a museum that looks like a boat, with bronze aged tools!

[-] AmbroisindeMontaigu@kbin.social 17 points 11 months ago

100%. If it seems too innocent or self-aware it's Flanders.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 11 months ago

“Spend less time on your back and more time on your knees.” and “[My wife] spent the last couple of weeks on her knees in prayer to the Lord. And, um, she’s a little worn out.” I got wrong.

One sounds like a classic Simpsons joke and the other sounds like a condescending asshole.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

I'm sure the "on your back" was a totally different context.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Ned Flanders is a lot more well meaning.

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.
  2. 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.
  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!
