White, who has been divorced twice, made the comments about women’s need to submit while discussing whether Trump’s endorsement of worship was encouraging people to attend church.
I guess we're just skipping over the enormous responsibility that is charged to husbands by Paul in his letter to Ephesus, eh? Husbands are supposed to love their wives as Christ loves us. Intending that, husbands should be as blameless and self-sacrifical as Christ. But hey, we don't give a shit on making sure men do their part, right? The American Evangelical movement is just as bad as every other religions' zealots they are against. Just cherry picked bullshit with no regards for historical context, hermaneutics, or actually following Jesus' commands to better the world. It's all about power, baby!
These people are literally the worst and dumbest people in the USA.
The televangelist told host Steve Gruber, “If there’s ever a time that a decision has to be made and we don’t agree on something, he’s the head.”
“It’s not hard to submit,” she added.
(Later in story...)
White, who has been divorced twice,
Maybe it's been a bit harder for this cosplaying trad-wife loony-toon to submit than she's willing to admit...???
🤷♂️ 🙄 🤡
they're all con artists. they actually believe about 0% of the bullshit they spew 24/7. it doesn't matter because their cultist followers believe 100% and provide money and votes, in exchange for being told that jesus loves racism and sexism, and hates brown people and gays
I figure the Righteous Gemstones is about as close as it gets to the truth about these "religious advisors".
White, who has been divorced twice,
Family values am I right? Bet she has a vaginal resurrection before each wedding so she could wear white at the ceremony.
Very true. I'm thinking it's all about the grift.
Also, I first read it as this: "...and we don’t agree on something, he gets head."
I guess that's one way to come to an agreement.
This is nothing but a counterpoint anecdote to the article (not a counterpoint to your comment).
My wife and I also mutually prefer a more traditional family dynamic for ourselves but have no belief that it's the best way or right for anyone else. We needed a tiebreaker system and for better or worse we also chose that I am the ultimate authority when we disagree.
It doesn't come up often, but when it does, more often than not, I'll choose her side over my own because if everything goes to shit she doesn't tell me I told you so because I did what she wanted, and I don't get to say it either because the final choice was mine and if I didn't put my foot down for my beliefs that's my own fucking fault.
I wish someone had laid that out for me in the beginning because I feel like I got a raw fucking deal. She gets to whine and pout and stomp her feet while I'm forced to be logical and judicious. Sometimes I want to just damn logic and demand a certain outcome just because I really want it.
Not really a point here other than, if you genuinely care for your partner, having the final say isn't all it's cracked up to be. And if someone thinks being in charge means they always get their way... I lose all respect for them.
You came to realize that marriage is a partnership. Your spouse is your partner, not your mother/father, not your caregiver (unless necessary via illness.)
Good for you.
Fuck off. That's your religion, not mine.
Exactly. These people adopt a chosen lifestyle and think anyone else has to listen to it? Fuck that noise. This is a secular nation and their little book club has no say.
Life in a Theocracy, bro. Shit sucks, but eventually you adopt the pastiche of Christian Nationalism and just try to wiggle through the cracks.
Whenever I used to meet women republicans I would always bring up how the other republicans don't really care about their point of view and just want their votes. For example, if they are against abortion because they believe that it is actually murder, I respect their opinion even if I disagree with them. But I would always tell them that the people, specifically republican men, are not agreeing with them for the same reason. They don't care about whether or not it's murder, they just want to control women's bodies and turn them into breeders. It's never been about the unborn and it's always been about the fact that these men don't believe women have the right to deny them their future children.
People used to say that my opinion on the matter is extreme and that they couldn't possibly think of women like that. But now here we are in the year of our Lord 2025 and the government's religious advisor is saying that women need to submit to men. And I'm sure before we can even blink they'll be trying to remove women from public office and get rid of their right to vote. They're already firing them under the pretense of DEI.
and get rid of their right to vote.
They're already tiptoeing into it with the SAVE act.
Wait….so we’re just going to ignore the separation of church and state, never mind spouting off sexist bullshit?
Bonkers? These people read/watch something like Handmaid's Tale and are rooting for the wrong side. This is entirely expected.
By the way? This woman should take advice from "the" bible and make sure she's not in a position of power of any man and she should remain silent. What does she think she is doing when she is teaching about religion? Her own religion forbids it.
"But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."
that's why maga incels, who whine about not being able to get a date, love the trumpistan cult
Iirc, this is followed up by husbands living their wives as Christ loved the church. Also in the excluded gospels, he rebuked misogynistic men decisples. The Church in the Nicean Councils continued running "the matrix" so these "red pills" are bootleg poison pills.
They want the handmaids tail government so bad, but without the environmentalism or any checks on business.
"Handmaid's Tail" is a different series.
didn't realize that Norman Vincent Peale was still alive
I'd like to meet the person who is surprised by this but only very briefly.
Wtf is a faith advisor and why does he need one? He's the CEO of a Bible company, he should basically be a scholar right? That's how the whole CEO thing works, right? At least, that's how the GOP like to think. Elon is basically an elite coder and electrical engineer, trump is a real estate genius, Joe rogan is obviously an expert on the smoothness and taste of glass building materials.
Priests can also be incels.
Not a TIL, I've known for a while. They wrote a book about it.
That book... Was the Bible
Faith makes people into fucking idiots.
And idiots turn people to faith. It’s cyclical.
