They do not accept "new" evidence, however old it might be, they just stop spouting their absurd explanations for a while, until the wave of reason & logic passes on, then they just start in again with the same old murderous superstitious crap. #religionists

Dear friends of the #a-political, 🦞
As you may know
#scientists, #religionists and the politically stoked think this:
Everything is political, maths/science/physics, jesusism/allahism/buddhism.

It ain't
#funnily enough. And it should not be the only #world-view, #forced and #imposed IMHO...

And yet. Every
#instance/#server, #socialmedia, #traditional info pusher, tries to get us involved in their selling points.
That is why we are on
#mastodon, #iceshrimp or otherwise engaged in a more #rounded, #wholistic, #interwoven #reality. Or maybe that is just me and my memes?

"The laws, passed by the Montana legislature in 2021, would have banned abortion at 20 weeks, barred doctors from prescribing medication abortions via telehealth services, required a 24-hour waiting period for medication abortions, and would have required doctors to offer an ultrasound before an abortion."

"As a young man, James Madison, the key thinker behind the Constitution, had seen his home state of Virginia arrest itinerant preachers for undermining the established church in the state. He came to believe that men had a right to the free exercise of religion."

The Alabama Supreme Court on February 16, 2024, decided that cells awaiting implantation for in vitro fertilization are children and that the accidental destruction of such an embryo falls under the state’s Wrongful Death of a Minor Act. In an opinion concurring with the ruling, Chief Justice Tom Parker declared that the people of Alabama have adopted the “theologically based view of the sanctity of life” and said that “human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God.”

Letters from an American

"That willingness to do anything to win—even working with a foreign dictator—seems a logical outgrowth of the process begun during the administration of President Richard Nixon, when his people deliberately appealed to voters’ emotions with a picture of traditional America under siege by antiwar student activists, people of color, and feminist women. "

The centerpiece of Republicans’ case for impeaching Democratic president Joe Biden is the allegation that he and his son Hunter each accepted a $5 million bribe from Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma when Biden Sr. was vice president. But in the last week, that accusation has revealed quite a different problem, one that implicates Republicans.

Iowa's Christian conservatives follow their faith when voting, and some say it leads them to Trump

Former president Donald Trump and his Republican rivals for the 2024 election have for months been heavily courting social conservatives and white evangelical Christians, seen as the most influential group in Iowa’s Republican caucuses. Trump has long seemed like an unlikely fit for the conservative faithful who shape the first contest of the Republican primary. In his first race for the White House in 2016, his image seemed to dog him as he struggled in Iowa, losing the state to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. But as the former president again seeks the White House, he is finding more supporters among the faithful.

"An evangelical former vice president who emphasizes national defense and his opposition to abortion — the top priority for many conservative Christians — was dismissed by a crowd of evangelicals."

2024's first act: Ramaswamy up, Pence down in Iowa

Many Iowans like Trump but appear to be shopping for a No. 2 choice, just in case.
