To put this a little differently, all identities are compatible with all actions. You can't violate the doctrine of a church if you just say that your actions don't violate it. "Nothing is true; everything is permitted." What you do has nothing to do with what you are, which is purely declarative.

For years now, whenever one of these people starts to explain his or her principles, I can’t excape the feeling that I’m listening to an oddly large-sized 4-year-old.

They have arrested development. They're disturbingly immature. Stunted intellectual and spiritual existence.

"As an executioner, I identify as an OB."

That's basically what this is. Complete nonsense.

It's right inline with identifying as a male, or female -- everything is "fluid" that way anything goes. You never answer for anything, because right and wrong can no longer be identified. It's "Intersectional Religion."

It seems that we are coming to the place where leftists no longer even indulge in hypocrisy or twist words into untruths. They just say, "It is what it is because that's what I want it to be".

And then they do it.

I initially read your last word as "decorative", which also seemed apt!

I’m essence, you get to declare yourself God and make your own rules. Super convenient. Exactly like the Book of Judges in the Old Testament, “everyone did what was right in there own eyes”. Humankind’s m.o. since the Garden of Eden.

Yes. Rosa DeLauro worships in a church she made in her head that regards Rosa DeLauro as its god, but she thinks she's in the other one. She wrote her own religious doctrine, then took a crayon and wrote CATHOLICISM across the top. It's...quite something to watch?

She wrote in something, but it wasn't crayon. It was some much more, uh... alimentary

"Symbol-thing is a shell that contains whatever meaning you pour inside it, devout Catholic third-term abortion. You can consume all the different symbolic shells at one sitting without indigestion, because they’re all equally meaningless. “My Baptist faith blesses the full-on hotness of autoerotic asphyxiation,” he says, wrapping a belt around his neck."

Meth is by far the worst drug on the planet. I have 35 year old son, 4.0 Deans list, college grad on the streets homeless (by choice) meth addict in North San Diego county, for over 3 years now. I am retired from medical field. it is not a "homeless" issue, we have vast resources, it is a drug/mental health issue. This epidemic can only end when we shut down the source/s. Meth can and is actually glorified by Netflix,( Breaking Bad) The bottom line, is the only way to salvation is Jesus Christ, and our creator GOD. That is the solution to ALL of human suffering. Find the conscious contact with God, you find the answers, the solutions.

i can remember as a child hearing my mother's catholic friends say "i'm a good catholic but i believe in birth control" and i'd say, "no, you can't be both those things at the same time. leave your church and start one with rules that you can agree with."

abortion is a tricky subject. people argue that it isn't the State's business but i'd counter with this- abortion deprives the State of future workers, tax payers and cannon fodder. abortion demands that the State make a "carve out" for murder that is allowed by women only which muddies the moral waters. Scott Peterson was convicted of killing his pregnant wife AND their unborn child. however if his wife, discovering her husband's infidelity, decided to free herself of the child, that would somehow be ok which doesn't make a whole lotta sense. if the unborn child doesn't count as a person, why not try Peterson only for the murder of his wife?

men in suits can debate when this "clump of cells" becomes life, when it might be viable to live outside the womb, but all that is irrelevant. life begins at conception.

any gardener will tell you that the entire life of the plant is contained within the seed.

i say this all as a non-religious more or less pro-choice woman (i used to be more and now i'm a bit less).

you cannot simply make up "rules" of an existing church (which already has rules, thank you) that allow you to do whatever you want.

i'd also like to ask congresswoman DeLauro where she stood on vaccine mandates. in obeying the "certain judgement" of my conscience, i was not violating any religious laws and in fact obeying the constitution of my country. these are the people who say "i'm a true american but your speech should be censored since i disagree with what you say" or "no one is above the law and i hate Trump so much that i condone the perversion of the justice system to put him away because the end justifies the means and we have to save our democracy." the person who thinks like this (i'm looking at you, Sam Harris) has already destroyed democracy. the person who supports abortion cannot call themselves a catholic.

🔥👌 A sure-fire way to elicit the notorious glazed look from npc crowd. The wires get crossed, and their mind short-circuits. Bcuz otherwise, the cognitive dissonance would render them bonkers. Which they already are, in a sense 😏

Try asking why they oppose the execution of pedophile rapists, but not the killing of innocent unborn children.

Make sure you have an ecape route. Not kidding - the woke, the PC-thugs, and the feminists will become violent when asked that.

Huge comment Rikard!!

You could say the same for those who are pushing the trans mania, under the guise of saving kids from committing suicide over "dysphoria" - but marching for the pro-choice whole sale murder of fetal human beings - unborn children.

It's the decades long radical, incremental brainwashing of women (left and right) and selling it as the struggle of sexual revolution and emancipation from the slavery of forced child birth - Ahhh freedom through murder.

This is a portion, of the societal subversion, that started over 80 years ago - cognitive dissonance. You can be a Catholic, a Christian and a baby murderer, all at the same time.

This is what happens when you slowly wipe away earthly consequences, for crime and amoral behavior. After a time, it naturally follows, that spiritual consequences are ignored and wiped away as well.

Why wouldn't parents hand over their children to a system that will medically experiment on them; mentally and physically molest and mutilate them with the trans cult and facilitate their victimization by protecting child rapists and sodomizers?

Do as thou wilt...all the way to Hell.

Scientifically speaking, the fertilized egg is a distinct human life.

Life, because he or she meets the scientific criteria for life (e.g., metabolism, development, etc.)

Human, because he or she has the DNA of a human and is following a human lifecycle.

Distinct, because he or she has different DNA from his or her mother and is following a different lifecycle than the mother.

Any other position is unscientific gibberish. “Personhood” is an attempt to avoid coming to terms with the fact that when we talk about “the most vulnerable among us”, we don’t mean mothers.

Rosa DeLauro will burn in hell, along with the lost Antipope Francis.

I'm a lapsed Catholic who has rejected a lot of the dogma, but the issue of abortion becomes clearer and clearer; ironically, it's the left who has helped me find my way on this. For example, Ralph Northam's notion of making a newborn comfortable while its mother and would-be abortionist put their heads together to decide whether its execution would give her the greatest satisfaction.

"We recognize that bans and restrictions on abortion disproportionately harm those who already endure poverty, discrimination, and racism." People who make very bad decisions should AT LEAST be able to kill their kids - Lord knows they can't do anything about the rest. Unrestricted copulation is the very least we can grant them, n'est-ce pas?

Similar journey for me. Lapsed as well but never was a nut about it. I had to go back to Church for my daughter and I gotta say, things became clearer for me when I did.

There's a sense of serenity when you anchor yourself in the hands of God and Jesus.

Why didn't Rep. DeLauro cite an even higher Authority? For didn't Jesus Himself say "suffer the little children"? Well, okay, He actually said "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." Tomato/tomahto.

Not to task the congresswoman too mightily, but here's someone else from the era of the KJB on the subject of citing scripture:

"The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

An evil soul producing holy witness

Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,

A goodly apple rotten at the heart."

"An evil soul producing holy witness": it's like Shakespeare was describing DeLauro from personal experience. A Rosa by any other name would smell as rank.

Sadly the Catholic denomination will take no disciplinary actions against these professing members.

If one is truly a Catholic and believer of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior , then killing is against the commandments. Period. What we need is to help these young women understand the gravity of their actions and the power they hold. Don’t get pregnant to begin with. Amen. 🙏🏻🇺🇸

Chris, I imagine that your hairline and eyebrows have now merged. Mine are trying. The last I heard, God is in charge of this, not some woke faux-Christian. Notice how much more work it is to commit grievous sin than to just follow the simple rules. God doesn't make it nearly as hard as stupid people do!

Editing doctrine... is that like the time that the wicked witch of the vice presidency, at an abortion rally, declared that people had the right to “liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” conveniently dropping the “life” part...since that’s an awkward inconsistency?

The Church would declare these Democrat political persons with irreligious violent views who justify the destruction of the most innocent of beings, unborn children in their mother's wombs, as scandalous.

In their positions of authority, where they should be examples to others in leading moral lives, they instead are justifying mortal sin and leading others astray.

Outstanding rebuke! Unfortunately, under Pope Francis, there will be no consequences for these influential people wandering far off the reservation. Priests, Bishops, and even Cardinals have been upbraided for speaking out against those transgressing Catholic teaching.

The Vatican might be even more corrupt than our government, if you can believe it. Yet somehow, amazingly (miraculously?), the faith lives on.
