It makes me sad I wasn’t expecting this headline from Utah whatsoever when starting to read it but I’m glad it’s positive in the end

Utah is a little weird in that they aren't so Mich maga as much as they are Mormon, they have progressive politics when it just so happens to suit the church's needs

Sort of. Our leadership have been doing some incredibly sketchy things lately and are very buddy-buddy with Trump.

Yeah that’s a good point. Mormons are still weird to me but I’ve known some and they are pretty chill people for the most part and pretty rational about stuff. Much, much easier to hang around than fucking southern baptists and can even be fun. I smoke a lot of weed and they never partook but never cared so I always thought that was cool

Churches are frequently wayy more progressive than the State.

Ever heard of the Civil Rights Movement? Perhaps a pastor named Martin Luther King Jr? Or Cornel West?

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have you heard of the westboro Baptist church? Or the evangelical Protestants?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

I didn't say always. I said frequently.

Same, literally a gasp then a sigh of relief as I read the headline
