What do you have against social justice?

Race traitors, SJW, and the like are the same trope of derogatory terms are a rhetorical effort to get people back into their places of the preferred social order of the far right.

It's the go to method of the modern racist to try and flip everything on its head with what is tantamount to doublespeak. Fighting for social justice is now unseemly. Leftists are the KKK. Respect and civility are for cowards. Political correctness is oppression. I'm not racist but blacks are lazy, mexicans are criminals, and I like Asians. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

members of one group crying about members of another group crying. it seems the anti-PC movement has taken on the same characteristics it accuses the PC movement of possessing.

It sure seems important to you that I am not as smart as I think I am. Feeling insecure much?

And I didn't "disappear." There was a Fuzzy callout thread made the day after the election that I posted in, dimwit.

And no, your angry tone and fixation is what denotes the irritability. The length of post has nothing to do with it. Discerning things is a struggle for you I see.

another injustice is for women having to pay sales tax for "necessary" menstrual items.

Also, I see a lot of "Christians" who toss around the term sjw, when Jesus Christ and his disciples were the poster childs for social justice.

As an atheist who still occasionally reads the bible, I find a lot of the new testament to be directly at odds with a lot of right-wing sentiment. "fuck 'em, let 'em starve" sounds oddly un-Christian to me as an outsider.

What kind of society would you want to be born into if you didn't know who your parents were going to be?

I think a lot of so-called Christians have substituted a worship of money for anything else, in this country. That is painfully obvious when you see what Christians in other countries have to say about money and wealth, and compare that to the Ayn Rand crowd here.

People are more important than money. When you die, all that money is worthless to you, an empty trophy for participation, IMO.

I assume you are going here:
https://www.philanthropy.com/article...ve-More/153973

"Christians are good people because they give so much money to charity"

Of course, when one digs, it never quite says what people like you want it to. Here is your statement put into a google search. Click to see what pops up.
https://www.google.com/search?q=what...n+this+country

Shockingly enough donating to a megachurch, or church in general counts as "charitable" giving, despite the fact that the money disappears into overhead.

We would be far better off cutting out the middleman, IMO.

While it would be hard to quantify specifically, I kind of have to wonder: Is the margin of giving is eaten up by paying a guy to lie to you every Sunday?

That is a bit less than impressive as far as "charity" goes, unless you are the paid liar, which I would guess is a sweet gig.

What you probably don't know is that some of those paid liars actually know they are lying. Your preacher/pastor/whatever may be one of them.

Generally three groups of people who are completely against progressivism and still want to live in the 50s:

-Dumbass christians, self-explanatory
-People living in rural areas, due to changing economics and lack of job growth they have been taught to think minorities are stealing their jobs, when in reality Miguel is picking grapes in a field and Mahmoud is neurosurgeon
-Rich or upper-middle class (generally white) people, also self explanatory

generally all these people love guns also, for whatever reason, and somehow always think everyones coming to take :cry muh guns :cry

If you are ever down in Austin you should check out the ACA's website for events:

http://atheist-community.org/events/...=30&view=month

There is usually a food bank once per month, and a ramp build once per month on the 3rd Saturday. Nothing scheduled for July yet, but that usually doesn't get scheduled until closer to the time.


Ramp builds (elderly/handicapped at homes) are fun. Last one I went to had more people than jobs, though. They were nice and let my boys do some of the easier jobs.
