Excellent since you must submit to me. I command you to stop telling women to do this.

She doesn't have to listen to you, you're not her first or second husband.

If anybody wants a reason religion needs to die look no further than subjugation of half our population for religion to exist.

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 98 points 1 week ago

Sounds like she shouldn't have gotten divorced three times if she gave a fuck what Jesus said.

But the prosperity gospel types know they're scammers, so she'll laugh all the way to the bank.

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 week ago

She was laughing AT the bank too, I saw her.

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 68 points 1 week ago

How could she accept the role of the head of an office if she thinks women should submit to men?

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 37 points 1 week ago

Hypocrisy is the water conservative “Christians” swim in.

FYI to Lemmy non-Christian’s: Paula White is an incredibly controversial figure in the evangelical community. Specifically, many believe her to be perpetuating fraud by demanding money from her followers in exchange for specific acts of prosperity provided by God (and even to ask God to smite your enemies). This differs from traditional tithing which typically is used for salaries, services (keeping the lights on), and community outreach.

Why evangelicals can’t point to her malfeasance as evidence of Trump’s corruption is a mystery to me. Additionally many conservative Christians don’t believe women should be in a position of authority, citing the same scripture she is here as evidence. If she were morally consistent she’d quit her “ministry” and go home.

wish I could spit in the face of every fucking idiot who feels the urge to spread Christianity in any way. keep that idiotic bullshit tf from my life, you're all clowns and actors

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago

Feel free to spit in my face then.

I’d argue that what these people are spreading is about as close to Christianity as Trump’s sharpie hurricane map is to an actual hurricane though; damaging and ignorant by misleading people.

As an example, they say God orders women to submit to their husbands. They get that from a letter Paul of Tarsus wrote to a group of early Christians in response to the way a particular group of (uneducated, likely trophy) wives were behaving that wasn’t in line with Jesus’ teachings to put others before themselves, because they misunderstood the bit about Jesus being an ultimate sacrifice that freed people from Jewish law to mean that you could behave however you wanted, and all would be forgiven. Paul told them that’s not how things work, and to ask their (likely educated in Jewish law) husbands to explain it to them at home instead of disrupting public meetings by preaching junk like this.

Unfortunately, a lot if what the public sees of Christianity in the US is remixes of exactly the same things the Bible these people own directly instructs against.

Jesus was a socialist pacifist. These people attempt to re-make him in their own image, taking instructions from his immediate followers out of context to justify their behavior, totally ignoring actual direct commands like “love your enemies and do good to those who hate you.”

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 22 points 1 week ago

I don't disagree with you that these people are taking a message that seems inconsistent with the biblical portrayal of Jesus. But the above comment was criticising people "who feel the urge to spread Christianity in any way". Which, yeah. Fuck them. If someone wants to do their research and convert to Christianity because they like it, more power to them.

But introducing children to that nonsense (by which I mean belief in resurrections and other obviously ridiculous bullshit, even if it's not directly used to cause tangible harm) as though it's fact at a vulnerable young age should be considered child abuse. And preying on vulnerable lonely or depressed people and using highly manipulative tactics like love bombing the way many evangelical branches of Christianity do, as do Mormons and I believe Jehovah's Witnesses, should also be considered abusive behaviour.

It's counterproductive, even for the ones that once thought it was a way to improve society. They are just being used, and should reconsider if they are doing more harm than good.

WTF is a "Faith Office" and why didn't DOGE cut it

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Because "DOGE" isn't about efficiency, but rather enforcing far-right ideology, by making anything left of Mussolini ineffective.

[-] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 43 points 1 week ago

Before I was banned, my highest up-voted post on Reddit was a clip of this woman babbling in tongues for God to intervene in the 2020 election.

HAHA fucking found it! I challenge you to watch it and not laugh.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

I recently got banned for saying we should have hanged all southern traitors after the civil war

[-] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 25 points 1 week ago

I was banned for up voting this image:

[-] AniZaeger@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I got banned for suggesting that government officials who violate people's constitutional right to due process and get them killed as a result would be prosecuted for capital murder. Apparently, that's "inciting violence". I appealed it, simply to say "fuck spez", and promptly deleted my account.

Why is there even a faith office? gtfooh

[-] FirstCircle@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 week ago

Because the "Heritage" foundation paid for it, and they're a bunch of Xian Fundies. Project 2025 (which Trump knows absolutely nothing about, he says so himself) is their baby.

"I'm up here working on the initiatives for President [Trump], who's been in ministry for 40 years and understands it," she insisted.

WTF? Show ANY evidence at all of 40 years of HitlerPig's "ministry," specifically anything BEFORE he decided to run for president.

[-] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 30 points 1 week ago

If being a sub is her kink, she can do that. If she likes being a sub, why is she so bossy?

God has an order

1 Corinthians 11:6:

For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

Put your hat on, Paula. I'm definitely seeing uncovered hair there, and we know how God is about that.

Preaching to the innocent masses with that sinful outfit.

[-] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 27 points 1 week ago

Some dude should've walked up to the podium and told her to sit down.

This lady has been divorced twice.

Not that I otherwise care. Do what you want with your life and relationships - life is complex and difficult at times. Not every relationship works out, sadly.

But for a twice-divorced lady to tell women to “submit to men,” it sounds like she herself has a problem keeping her trap shut and submitting to a man. The hypocrisy is so thick here you can cut it with a knife.

Rules for thee but not for me.

How the everloving fuck does she know what God wants?

[-] tal@lemmy.today 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's from a passage in the Bible.

Ephesians 5:22-24:

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.  For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.  Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago

That was written by a human, not God.

Well, this man is telling you to shut the fuck up, so maybe take your own advice.

Faith Office? Every single Ayatollah from 1979 Iran to the present should be fucking proud of this BS.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

why are you "womensplaining" a man and why are talking out of your place-,faith adivsor for trump.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 17 points 1 week ago

Shouldn't she be at home shitting out kids and not telling people what to do then? Is the faith office composed entirely of women?

[-] Chivera@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Someone remind MTG of that when she goes off

[-] Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Ofc Trump has a fucking faith office. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he tried implementing biblical laws like some type of Christian version of Sharia law, or called for teaching creationism as fact in schools.

She needs to get back in the kitchen and make some sandwiches and be seen and not heard.

[-] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Look, I understand that might be your kink, but leave that shit in your house lady and stop trying to make other people be part of your kink.

Cunt.

[-] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

Stop making your bedroom play everyone else' problem. If you want to be a submissive in a consensual bdsm dynamic you do you but leave everyone else who doesn't want to participate out of it

[-] Sibshops@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This feels like kink shaming, women can be doms too.
