Fuck Jonathan Cain and his bitch wife
Turn around. Turn and walk away.
She married Steve Perry!?
Also she fucked Benny Hinn, which is just WILD.
Also she looks like a more feminine Bill Maher.
Has there always been a White House faith office?
No, totally unconstitutional.

Does anyone know the correct procedure to challenge it? It’s only illegal if the laws are enforced.
What’s laws, precious?
You know, laws? Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew?
Yep, that’s p much what they’re doing with’m They’re not nearly as delicious tho
You need to have standing, which if the only impact is Congress’s budget then only Congress does.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flast_v._Cohen for establishment clause standing by regular taxpayers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hein_v._Freedom_From_Religion_Foundation for the court throwing that out for the executive. They’d likely throw the whole thing out now.
And Trump says it is to protect Christians because they’re being heavily persecuted. Those poor poor Christians.
I’ve never met a more prosecuted majority in my life. 😔
Is that prosecuted or persecuted? Hmmm, actually both fit perfectly in your sentence
Oh, right, I forgot English makes that distinction. Thanks for reminding me!
I’m interested! I thought both words derive from Latin prosequi/persequi and had essentially the same meaning as modern English. Which language do you speak?
Welp. Time to meet their expectations.
Always- no.
Since G.W. Bush? Yes.
Obama and Biden kept it going, Biden actually restored it after Trump 45 left it to languish.
incurring more material wealth is the tenet of her faith.
more wealth === more blessed
for sure her greedy god and the jealous god are two different things.
There are many possible points of disagreement within Christianity because, like it or not, the Bible is unclear and even contradicts itself on many subjects (and this is a Christian saying this). But prosperity theology is so clearly the opposite of everything in the Bible that any self-respecting evangelical should ostracize it. That they don’t is the proof that the gospel is not what many evangelicals are interested in.
Supply-side Jesus would like a word with you…
Pretty sure OP already gets it.
I know most would go back in time and kill Hitler but I’d slap the ever living shit out of John Calvin.
What she cites the bible for
Though she clarified that donations wouldn’t actually go to help those infected, White used medical imagery to add urgency to her fundraising plea during a pandemic. “Every single day we are a hospital to the sick, not necessarily the physically sick,” she said. “But we are a hospital for those who are soul sick, those who are spiritually sick.” White went on to suggest that contributors offer a $91 donation, citing Psalm 91, or “maybe $9 or whatever God tells you to do.”
What I cite the bible for
Matthew 21:12-13 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’
I’m a Satanist, but I fuck with based Jesus.
don’t forget he made a whip and used it during this event
You might enjoy reading some of the works of Bart Ehrman. I’m an atheist who has been reading a lot about Jesus and the early church (first three centuries). I would recommend, How Jesus Became God.
Anyway, good for you for recognizing prosperity bs for what it is.
Ehrman is great, as are his books and his podcast (which is called “Misquoting Jesus”). He’s one of the most objective mainstream New Testament scholars (in the field of textual criticism), and he doesn’t try to advance any agenda. He states clearly whether his points are the consensus of non-evangelical scholars, or whether he’s in the minority (which is rarely); whether other scholars disagree with him (and why); what the evangelical scholars say, etc. He doesn’t encourage either atheism or religion; he’s simply a textual criticism scholar.
It’s literally a sin in many sects, not to say those sects aren’t entirely hypocritical on the matter, but trading priestly duties for money is explicitly a sin in a lot of Abrahamic religions.
She sounds overqualified for the position.
She is, not ironically, perfect for the job.
Her faith in Christ enabled her to get away with all that bs. I don’t see why this isn’t taken into account.
I’m gonna convert to christianity and become a big-time crook. I can’t lose.
As long as your faith makes rich people feel good about themselves I guess.
The religion they are alluding to is not Christianity … it’s the holy all powerful and all consuming religion of MONEY
Ahhh fuck that movie.
The aliens permanently live in my nightmares alongside the Legion time eaters
Money has been the point of religion for a very long time.
Nah, it was originally about making sure your population had good morals, then about controlling your population more generally, then about making money, then about banning fun for some reason, then about making money again
It’s been quite the wild ride
A lot of old testament stuff had to do with hygiene. Look at all the kosher rules regarding food. Deut. 22:9 also forbids growing mixed crops, which likely had to do with the chance of crossbreeds being infertile and the inability for Bronze/Iron Age tribes being able to replace seed stock quickly enough.
Or some priest or political leader took revenge against a pig farmer who slept with his daughter.
And the mixed crops this was more likely to make sure farmers are not self sufficient.
No. The seed thing is explicitly so the farmers could grow the same crop from year to year. If you grow a cucumber in the same plot as squash, the seeds from both will be a hybrid and not give you anything useful. Cucurbits are meritoriously easy to hybridize and create useless offspring. The genetic mechanics wouldn’t have been know, but you would still see the results. People needed to live in groups then and now. No farmer would ever be able to be completely self sufficient regardless, especially then.
I was thinking more along the lines of shellfish for a primarily desert people or the Rabbi being the defacto food inspector.
I don’t for a second believe that religion was required for people to have good morals. It was required for control.
Parents do tge same thing with santa.
Agree 100%
Ironic that her job is to get people to don’t stop believing
”Just a small town girl….”
“…grifting in a lonely world”
”…she took the midnight train praying anywhere “
“…just a greedy boy”
“…born and raised in east Manhattan”
enjoy your journey, pilgrim!
It’s cause you gotta take it on faith that she’s qualified to be within 1000 feet of the Whitehouse.
Fucking prosperity gospel is evil
I give you the new public face of Christianity.
In crime we trust.
