Oklahoma Senators' stance on LGBTQ people.

"We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state,” state Sen. Tom Woods (R)saidduring a public forum on Friday."

OK, well what if another state decides they don't want to deal with a luney theocracy. I suspect they would also prefer everyone there to be of a specific skin tone and that all women should be silent, barefoot, and pregnant.

When you run out of water down there, or have a big twister, we'll be sure to send thoughts and prayers. Nothing else though.

Ffs and people wonder why so many are sick of hearing about their Christianity.

@AlchemyFox Then i looked up the gonorrhea rates by state and sure enough, Oklahoma is in the top tier. Guess they should start doing communion by intinction.

@dakotaviper I know but it's ok to hope. It's not ok to quit. Except for bad habits.
If they want to be a Christian state that badly, let God fix all their problems indeed. We'll see how that turns out.

@Tastyfrzz I know

@Tastyfrzz god does provide, through those here who actually receptive to gods call to serve.
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
@ilikeitlikethat23 there were probably 7 million Jews that might take exception to that.

They ain't christian, they are just using the bible or God as their excuse for hatred.

So if some of these states are about christian values, are they going to also teach the kids about the parts of the bible where it talks about sending people to hell?

I mean of course they condemn LGBT but there is a huge list after that.

@CestManan Believe it or not, if someone hates me for who I am, fine. Don't need ya anyway. But hate me because you hate me, stop blaming your god.

@CestManan Some of the cruelest things I've seen lately has been coming out of the mouths of people that wear a big cross around their neck and look at their bank statement as proof good loves them no matter how many others get screwed along the way. Some day God talks to them, not so sure it's God. And most times what they heard God say conveniently justified their behavior towards their fellow man.

Most Protestants are Catholics. Not Roman Catholic. The difference is basically that one group takes their orders from Rome. Not one time have I ever heard any faith mentioned besides the Jewish which Jesus was born Jewish and died Jewish. What makes a true Christian is being like Christ taught and believing Him to be the Messiah. He used to get pissed at the merchants selling fruit or animals to sacrificed at the temple.
I spent almost 11 years at a religious school before I dropped out to join the military. That includes a religion class almost daily. And was graded on not just test scores sometimes on if Sister what's her name felt about how I practiced her lessons. High school was grade based. Those buns would talk amongst themselves, through like did anyone see little Johnny at Mass? I think it would sway a grade point. It was so subjective. My mother in law disliked Roman Catholic Church for a fair enough religion. My wife had a severely and profoundly handicapped sister. One set of grandparents tried to have her institutionalized. Behind their back. They did that in the fifties. Anyway on one of hundreds of hospital emergency trips. They were in a waiting room when a nun(Catholic hospital) come in and joyously said something like," even if she passes away tonight be happy because I just baptized her. " Ain't that some crap. Embarrassed me and I knew she wasn't lying. Doctors have her 4 years tops. She passed away after her 25th birthday. She wouldn't have lived 2 years in an institution.
This story isn't directed at you it's just that anyone that's self righteous because of the name of their faith or their knowledge of Scripture really hasn't read it or really doesn't get it. My religion does not have any bearing on my chances of seeing paradise. My chances are based on how I live my life and how I respect others lives.
Can I get a witness!!! 😂

95% odds that people who describe themselves as "Christian" are anything but.

@NerdyPotato most don't know the real meaning of socialism and communism and and are insulted at being called one. I know the difference and I don't like either. I see it like...
If you have 2 cows and the government takes one to give someone else without a cow that's socialism
If you have 2 cows and the government takes both and sells you the milk that's communism
If you have two cows and sell the milk to buy a bull to make more cows and milk to sell that is capitalism .
That what free countries do. IMHO

@NerdyPotato

Socialism...Sucks!
@sladejr there we go. You'd hate Jesus then, because he was more socialist than any politician alive today.

What happened to "the least of my brothers"

@ilikeitlikethat23 it's still in effect.

@kentex35 apparently not for everyone.

I understood that's another popular sexual fetish? 😏

What really weird about this is that over 40% of Oklahoma is made up of Indian Reservations.

Most Indian 'Medicine Men or Women' are also known as Two-Spirit persons, which means that they are both male and female. Plus, over half of all two-spirit people present themselves as the opposite of their birth gender.

Mr. Woods better check with the Elders before he proceeds.

Teehee. I'm Filth! Don't worry, Senator, I'll GLADLY stay out of your state.

This is even more heinous in context. This was in response to a question about Nex Benedict's death.
