I didn't assume that you were upset, you said it was good. I don't need to check myself. In a normal world, a 'christian satire site' would probably have a small audience.

Only the left says things like this. Who are the ones that are upset when the light is shined on them? You're also conflating things. He's not daddy and he's not trying to censor you or prevent you from watching reruns of rachel maddow.HHusky said:

Having said that, he tries to conflate two different things. Satire and humor always have an element of truth to them, and ideologues are definitely humorless. All good points. He could have left it there and made his protest.
By arguing that "the truth is not hate speech", he removes himself from the satirist's role and takes the position that he is a "truth teller", a newsman. The satirist can take aim at things, but when he takes himself too seriously, he becomes one of the humorless as well.
It's why the Babylon Bee is occasionally funny but isn't usually.
No offense intended, of course. -
You could photoshop Washington Post over Babylon bee and Dazzler would applaud the headlines.

Overturning Roe vs Wade was just stupid for a plethora of reasons.
Namely the poor being the people who have too many babies in the first place. Now they will have more.
Just stupid. As a conservative I get upset when politicians let religion dictate policy.
This only hurts the right in the long run and rightfully so.
I find it fascinating that people think abortion is a religious issue. Simp thinking. @creepycoug am I right?Prestonluv said:Overturning Roe vs Wade was just stupid for a plethora of reasons.

Cmon man. If we don’t t the religious peeps piping in than it’s not overturned. Even if overturning it technically isn’t a religious issue the process of getting it overturned is definitely spearheaded by the religious right.MikeDamone said:Prestonluv said:Overturning Roe vs Wade was just stupid for a plethora of reasons.

My daughter lives in Texas and got raped. I’m going to be a grandpa now. Can’t wait. -
So either you're full of shit or she wants the baby. She has/had many opportunities for an abortion in Texas and out.Prestonluv said:

Religious people vote. As is there right
It got overturned because it was made up to begin with
We have no right to privacy
Allegedly we have a right against unreasonable search and seizure unless law enforcement lies to the judge
Abortion was already legal in states before Roe
I get it that low info types think the religious right is a Cristo fascist threat. Democrats do messaging
Mike and I don't fall for it -
If you meant this to be as funny as it is, you could have done better than Oregon.Goduckies said:

If not. Yikes! -
You are correct. God or no God, humanity has established a most basic set of social rules and foundational morality. Whether or not "You can't kill me if I'm not threatening you" is objectively hard wired into the universe vis a vis Plato's forms or the word of God is of no consequence to abortion whatsoever. In fact, correctly presented, it is an entirely non-sectarian discussion. Who you pray to or whether you do or not is up to you and what restricting rules you do or do not follow is entirely up to you and of no interest to me.MikeDamone said:Prestonluv said:Overturning Roe vs Wade was just stupid for a plethora of reasons.

The discussion of abortion is really no different, at all, than discussing what the laws for murder should be.
Amazing to me that this still eludes so many here. Stunning really.
