Yeah. I like Nebula, that was where I watched it. I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it. -

We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody." Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening. Organizations trust government at their peril. -

More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube. "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold. -

I'm aware that the young US ended up fighting a war with these people, and that phrase was not meant to address Church & state. But somebody was willing to include it at the time. I am also aware that your family arrangements would not go over well with most christian nationalists. But that is kinda where I'm coming from on this. I believe you and others of us with an unconventional lifestyle should be free to live as we desire - as long as we are not hurting anyone else. And by "hurting" I don't mean only their feelings. Using christianity to justify oppression is just wrong. As is forced conversion, or forced conversion therapy. Regarding public funds, LGBTQetc people have as much right to them as straight-cis folks. I'm not arguing that queer people have more rights, just equal rights. -

Even better news: It turns out for my sister it was cardio not stroke. She’s put on new blood thinner and sent home. False alarm! Yay. -

Things have changed since I've been on HRT for about 15 years. The consequence is I am not so concerned about how I present all the time. I wear t-shirts a lot. I am pragmatic in how I shop. No, I don't want to look male, but will buy some male clothing because it fits. I am tall and built like a football linebacker, so buying women's clothes that fit can be difficult. For one I have no problem buying men's sneakers if they can pass as unisex. I wear size 12-13 women's shoes. And that can be hard to find. And, I don't like wearing slacks without pockets. I use pockets for work. I've learned to be pragmatic. I dress up when I want to go out in public, and not so much at work. I do have a favorite blouse that accentuates the girls. And one blue striped blouse where I wear a cami top. -

https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2016/05/secularists-please-stop-quoting-the-treaty-of-tripoli/ ^^^ an interesting piece about the treaty, written by an atheist. I totally understand why the Christian nationalist stuff makes people uncomfortable. For me, it is uncomfortable in a different way, as modern Christian nationalism is not nearly as "generic" as the views of the Founders. Its specifically Evangelical. I'm in a plural marriage, so definitely not approved of. I believe the intent of the Founders was to uhold generic Christian ideas... "in God we trust" and "there's a God who created the world and He wrote ten commandments for us" sort of stuff. Nothing beyond that, nothing specific enough to use against folks. -

Free?!?! That's insane. I can understand perhaps mistaking somebody's well equipped garage as a business, but demanding free work is ridiculous. My GF once remarked that while few things in life are free, butt-kickings are an exception. She offers those free-of-charge, to any who ask. A little charity helps the world go round 🤣 -

I had a CDL when I was working for the city. But I let it go when I retired. I couldn't justify paying so much just to drive myself around. -

While I'm sure the "Founders" had the 30 years war, etc. on their minds, they didn't write the constitution as considering only Christian sects. The early colonists (I used the word) did mostly come from areas of "christian culture" but it's hard to reconcile some of their actions with what Christ himself taught. Christians have a right to their beliefs, but there are a lot of American citizens that do not consider themselves "christian." I have seen writings where the US was specifically said not to be a "Christian Nation". "The 1797 Treaty of Tripoli that sought to secure America from attacks by the so-called Barbary pirates who were Muslim made a point to say that the United States "is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."" It shouldn't be difficult to understand why the "Christian Nationalist" movement makes some of us uncomfortable.
