Someone In The UK Threw Eggs At Charles And Was Arrested And Has Been Banned From Openly Carrying Eggs

im literally forever obsessed with this because it implies the following:

The Rapture, as described by Christian Evangelicals, has happened

Parents witnessed their son disappear during The Rapture, but remained atheists anyway (based)

Instead of sinners and nonbelievers going to hell or getting killed, they just... stay on Earth.

apple bottom jeans — this is a reference to the apple that was eaten from the forbidden tree of Eden

boots with the fur — this references the way Adam and Eve had to clothe their nakedness once they had eaten from the Tree

the whole club was lookin’ at her — traditionally it is Eve’s fault for succumbing to the temptation, and most scholars blame her and future women for original sin

she hit the floor — this is a reference to the snake, who was cursed to crawl in the dust

next thing you know — the Lord immediately responded to kick them out of the Garden of Eden

shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low — this represents the way humanity fell from grace and gave in to temptation, and was repelled from the garden

that case about that man drugging his wife, raping her and recruiting 72 men to rape her as well will always stick with me. 30% of men approached by the man offering to give them an opportunity to rape Gisèle turned him down, but 0% turned him in.

“natural protectors.” that’s what we’re supposed to believe men are. we are supposed to keep ourselves small and weak and helpless, perpetual damsels in distress, all so that some fictional big strong man can feel really good about himself if he protects us from a bad situation.

but if that’s true - if men really are biologically wired to feel a desire to protect people more physically vulnerable than them - how is it possible that you can get that many men to agree to rape a woman? how can the men who were approached to take part in it, but declined, not report him to the police?

how many of the men who took part in it have daughters, wives, sisters, mothers that they’ve hurt?

they get so fucking mad whenever we suggest we feel unsafe around them rather than protected, but they never have that same level of vitriol for the men who make it clear that they are our predators, not our protectors.

Someone i know even admitted that the only reason he’s a zionist is out of fear of “God’s Wrath”.

Listen, i dont mean to sound like a reddit atheist, but... You ever think about how evangelical Chriatians very literally believe that there will be a genocide in which billions of humans, mostly just innocent everyday people, are condemned to suffer in hell?

And, like, that's the end. That's the finale. Of everything they believe. That's their solution for the world. A final one, if you will.

And they don't rebel. They don't say "hey, wait, that's a bit much" and appeal to their God to maybe reconsider. They don't even seem to really mind.

Instead, they worship. They conjure up an image of a genocidal maniac, and they worship it. The word "praise" is bandied about a lot. Praise. For a leader whose endgoal, very transparently, is genocide.

Suddenly a lot of history makes a little more sense.

"Satan is the cause of all evil!"

If Satan exists. He was made. By god.

You cannot have it both ways. Where your god made & is responsible for everything and yet is powerless in the face of its creation & abandoned it to one rebellious child.

And may I remind you...

Angels were not given free will.

Anything done by Satan may as well be sanctioned by your god.

when I was very young my mother told me “they’re going to try and teach you that we came from monkeys but that’s not true and you shouldn’t listen to them because we were made from god” and she was my mom and I was like 7, so I pretty much just went “okay, noted, anyway”

anyway like 2 years later evolution comes up in class and one of my classmates goes “is this the we evolved from monkeys thing?”

and I’m on Red Alert. this is what my mom told me about!

the teacher replies, “well, we share a common ancestor, but we didn’t evolve directly from apes. if you go back way before apes or people existed, you’ll find a different third thing we both came from. we know this because of things like fossils”

and I was like whoo! dodged a bullet there, good thing my 4th grade science class isn’t trying to teach us we came from monkeys and instead figured stuff out using fossils and taught us that instead :)

Instructions Unclear, Ended Up Believing In Evolution Anyway

frequently thinking about how god decided off the cuff that people should all speak different languages and therefore become divided culturally and interpersonally because if we managed to successfully organize and work together we would eventually reach and defeat him. OG fascist.
