Having just undermined the Voting Rights Act for blacks, it's no surprise that Republicans now want to quash Women's Rights, too.

Make America the 1800's Again!

Never happened. Paul was writing a letter to his young acolyte minister telling him not to let the women in THAT church, many of whom provided funds, push him around. It was never meant as some overall edict to all churches.

Theism can be used for evil, as can atheism.

It was State sanctioned atheism that resulted in the deaths of between 60 and 100 million people in just the last century alone.

Men can be evil no matter their beliefs.

"Mass deaths in the 20th century, often estimated between 60 and 100 million or more, are attributed to policies enacted by communist, state-atheist regimes, notably under Joseph Stalin in the USSR and Mao Zedong in China.

These regimes promoted a state-mandated secularism, aiming to eliminate religious influence, which resulted in significant mortality through persecution, forced labor, and famine."

Atheists got more done in one century than theists did in several.

I said both could be used as evil... I think I'll stand by that.

And here I'm trying to give compliments that atheism is more efficient as an evil used by evil men.

Some people just can't take compliments!

btw, as it turns out:

"The Doctrine of Discovery, a series of papal decrees beginning in 1452, served as the legal justification for European colonization, resulting in the deaths of tens of millions of Indigenous people in the Americas due to disease, violence, and forced labor.

A 2018 study estimated that 55 million indigenous people died following the European conquest"

You're stretching to make a point no one is arguing.

As I said, both atheism and theism can be used for evil purposes.

"The Taiping Rebellion (1850"1864) was directly inspired by a unique, syncretic interpretation of Christianity promoted by Hong Xiuquan, who believed himself to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ.

This movement aimed to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and create a "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" based on radical social equality.

I considered the inverse pretty obvious; atheism can be used for questioning all sorts of beliefs... including agnosticism one supposes.

But this thread is about THEBULL and all the women who would rather die than go near him.

Never take a Baptist fishing with you; he'll drink all your beer.

Take two Baptists, and they'll keep an eye on each other so you can drink all your beer!

Which means that married women take on their husband's views rather than keeping their own.

And often that's because they are BULLIED into it.

"This trend indicates that marriage status brings women closer to the political preferences of married men, who also tilt Republican, creating a "marriage gap" that is often as significant as the gender gap."

OMG! You actually watch that CRAP? No wonder your brain is so deluded. Seek help before the Cerebral Aneurysm, not after.

I mean... you truly relate to that tiny little dick's whiny BS?

His petty problems are worse than what the Woman's Suffrage Movement was all about?

Are you sure you aren't, THESTEER? You know, a gelded bull?

PETROCK,

"The 17th Amendment, ratified in 1913, establishes the direct popular election of U.S. Senators, shifting power from state legislatures to the voters.

While some conservatives advocate for its repeal to restore federalism and empower state governments, opponents argue this would reduce democratic participation and return to corrupt, brokered deals

Loss of Democratic Rights: Repeal would remove the ability of citizens to directly vote for their senators, taking a significant step backward in democratic representation."

Jefferson was concerned about an uneducated democracy... so, he basically predicted 1Nut.

"Thomas Jefferson believed democracy was a fragile, worthy experiment requiring an educated citizenry to function. He advocated for a republic supported by local self-government, fearing that a centralized, uneducated democracy would fail. He considered informed public opinion essential to governance and feared the tyranny of both minority wealth (aristocracy) and majority rule.
