- Ban abortion
- Ban divorce
- Lower marriage age to 12.
- You can now have a child sex slave, thank Jesus! God bless all.
I think this is the Christian plan for marriage and for childhood for females.

If you get them young enough, you can avoid that troublesome think for yourself phase.

I'll give you an upvote for the satire/sarcasm, but I want you to know that it comes with a feeling of disgust towards myself for upvoting those words.

sounds a lot like the plan religions use.

Let's start with divorcees not being allowed to run in the 2024 election if it is so incredibly unethical and all

Conservatives have bad ideas about nearly everything. They should under no circumstances be allowed to have any power. I'd even say they're an existential threat to the US and the rest of humanity.
It's far past time to stop treating them as just folks with a different opinion. This is not "oh well they wanted to paint the bedroom walls green and I wanted blue."
Someone announcing themselves a conservative should be taken as a declaration of a threat. Removing them from power is self defense.
-
The conservatives opinions bother me. But the authoritarianism is the bigger issue to me. This desire to force their opinions and wills on other people instead of living their lives as they want and leaving others alone is far more problematic.
-
I agree with what you're getting at, but "conservative" is relative and doesn't actually indicate specific beliefs, so "conservatives should never have any power" can be easily twisted once the conservatives we'd currently think of are gone.

The solution is simple, as it is for gay marriage. Marriage is not recognized by the state/government.
-
Yep. At the very least, just make everything a civil union that any two consenting adults can enter into. Religious people can still get "married", it just has nothing to do with the government.
-
Why limit it to two? I say allow any amount of people in a civil union, or allow one person to have a civil union with multiple people separately. It's mostly for visits in the hospital, parental rights, stuff like that.
Of course, that makes residence/citizenship based on relationships complicated, but that's mostly an issue caused by closed national borders being a fucked up concept in the first place.
-
Maybe they should make it super bureaucratic and you have to pay to renew your civil union every 7 years, otherwise it dissolves.

They want laws that follow ancient religious texts, to control women, force everyone into marriage, prosecute homosexuals, ban birth control and get rid of media that go against their narrative.
What I'm wondering is, why the fuck do they not like Islamists?
-
They're brown
-
Most religions feel that anyone not in their religion is beneath them, or a lesser person. Believers are going to heaven, well meaning pious atheists are going to burn in hell.
-
The really bonkers ones get even more exclusive, where other Christians that aren't their same little sect are going to hell, even Catholics.
-
-
Because a different guy a few hundred years later said some of the same stuff while also saying some different stuff.
-
That's how religion keeps power. Only our group are righteous and are doing it right.
-
I think they largely do envy them and their social control and want the same, just for their religious beliefs instead.
-
So they should not shave, not eat prawns, not wear cotton, fuck their kids, ... ?
-
-
How backwards can you be lmao
-
Just wait. They're only getting started.
-
You don't really want to see that question answered in the form of their implementation.

-
The old "We are suffering (because we are stupid), so you should suffer, too!"
-
Why not? They live with an abusive god who constantly threatens them with punishment if they don’t follow a bunch of conflicting rules and won’t love you or reward you unless you kiss his ass. You can never leave the relationship or check out any other gods, or just be single, either. You’re trapped.
They want everyone else to be trapped in abusive relationships, too.
-
Seems like the Republicans core voting block are men too terrible to be with unless you are forced to by the state. Winning strategy
-
Oh, so arsenic will be back on the table?
-
Arsenic? Oh no officer no poison here! Just a bottle of Aqua Tofana.
-
-
Of course they are. The men and I use that term loosely are trying to make women chattel again. The next step for them after that is to make other chattel. They dream of the mid east style government.
-
Next up, mandatory marriage? Like if you're single past age twenty one or so, you're criminally charged? Maybe sent as cannon fodder in the colonies?
-
You don't need divorce if you never get married. 👍
