Why do plagues surface every time Donald takes office? Strange that Christians ignore these signs.

[–] SteveNashFan@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭17‬

This verse pops into my mind when fellow "Christians" praise Trump. It saddens me that they are happy to help a crook and a rapist into power, all because "the Democrats are worse." Elect a more morally upstanding republican then! Why does it have to be THIS guy?

I question if they ever actually read the Bible with an open mind... after all, wasn't Satan the one to tempt Jesus with earthly political power? Even if Dems were worse, didn't Christ call us to love our enemies? They've completely lost the plot, and then wonder why the Western church is in decline.

[–] ValorieAF@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Anyone who has read and actually understood the Bible knows that trump 100% fits the bill for being the anti-christ. It's so ironic.

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

I've never read the Bible, not more than I needed to argue with Bible-thumpers, and I recognize all the signs.

Well, no, it's because THE GLOBAL CABAL DEEP STATE IS AFTER HIM. CHRISTIANS ARE WASHED IN THE BLOOD, GOOD LUCK TO YOU SHEEP

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Because, due to their logic destroying upbringing and reinforcement in adult social settings, they have perfected the ability to explain away every obvious, inconvenient fact within the framework of a network of conspiracy theories utilizing magical thinking that they invent or adapt on the fly to justify themselves never being fundamentally wrong or ignorant.

People seem to either be forgetting or just not be aware that Q Anon did not die.

It morphed into a conspiracy infused, new form of Christian fundamentalism, where Donald Trump is literally a messianic figure doing God's will. He was prophecied by modern prophet/preachers, and if any of their prophecies were erroneous, that is because literal demons intervened on Earth, and a supernatural battle is currently taking place on Earth.

Maybe 'raw milk' shouldn't be-

Oh, nevermind, we're going to have RFK in charge of public health now, it's a lost cause

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 25 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I hadn't heard of this. I was shocked to find out that unpasteurised milk could be sold to begin with, didn't expect a second shock in the comments. Think I'm going to go back to just not touching social media for a while.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm surprised it can be sold in stores alongside regular milk. Raw milk doesn't last long because of the lack of pasteurization, the logistics of constant replacement due to the lack of shelf time is insane. There's no way places can be making money simply due to product loss as it goes bad before being sold.

Unless the farms selling it to the stores are lying about expiration dates due to lack of adequate regulations.

[–] IamAnonymous@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe they end up selling enough. I wonder the same thing about the snowfox sushi sold in grocery stores. They have a shelf life of 1 day and the shelves are always full even before the store closes. They can either break even or they are running at a high loss.

Also, I don’t know if the raw milk is sold in regular grocery stores. I have never seen one.

In the beginning of bird flu, the instances called for only using treated milk. As a counter reaction, the sale of raw milk went up. Rationality went out the window some time ago.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

These are the same geniuses who went from chicken pox to covid “parties” for the express purpose of infecting everyone, this country has always been filled with reactionary ignorant asshats.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I will say in defense of chicken pox parties, those made sense before vaccines existed. If you didn’t get it in childhood it was a lot more dangerous to catch in adulthood. And you had a 95% chance of getting it at some point (lifetime infection rate pre-vaccine), so the thought was to get it over with when you were young.

Now, obviously, just get the damn vaccine.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Not only will the milk be raw, but there will also be no vaccines. The next pandemic is going to be such a hoot.

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I'll go set up a webshop for ivermectin. It's going to be crazy again.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Is there even any benefit whatsoever to raw milk over pasteurized?

[–] meeeeetch@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

There's probably a small loss of some nutrients (the heat breaks some chemical bonds). The benefit would probably be somewhere between negligible and marginal before you factor in the risk of food poisoning.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Studies have shown no difference in nutritional value. So it's a net negative across the board.

It's not healthier, it has a higher risk of pathogens, and a much shorter shelf life, all for usually more cost at the store. It's a perfect grift for the anti-vax, chemicals=bad people.

[–] bblkargonaut@lemmy.world 51 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

I'm 100% for raw milk. I hope some one is setting up a centralized nation wide distribution ready to go live the second it's legal, and I hope everyone who wants it can get it at the same time before any news can spread.

I see what you did there. Let everyone go buy it and consume it before learning it could be contaminated. Nice try, Satan.

Fresh, never frozen

Yes. Harmless. Or do you think bird flu cares who it infects once it's transmissible from human to human?

Louis Pasteur worked in his lab for a very good reason. Must we go back to the 1800s?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 24 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Rightwingers don't believe in any problem until it directly affects them. They won't understand why we have modern medicine and health regulations until they personally feel the effects of having taken it all away. And even then many of them still won't.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 17 points 4 weeks ago

When men were men, women were property, black people were property, Irish people were black people, and we had just curb stomped our first country full of brown people.

A man could just pick up and go to a new town and call himself a doctor, sell some random bullshit to whoever, and leave before the consequences could catch up to him.

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago

That seems to be the end goal...

[–] Erasmus@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know. Morons.

Do not drink raw milk it is a terrible idea.

[–] blackluster117@possumpat.io 26 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

"Just because you said that, I'm gonna drink raw milk even harder now. Get owned, nerd." Or something along those lines.

I hate this meme. Pingu would never say, "well now I am doing it." He would say, "NOOT NOOT!" and then he would do it.

It comes as California has reported 29 confirmed human cases of bird flu since early October, primarily stemming from cows, according to CDPH. Of those cases, 28 had direct contact with infected cows, all cases had mild symptoms that were primarily eye infections, and none required hospitalization.

"No person-to-person spread of bird flu has been detected in California or the U.S [yet!!]," the news release said.

Emphasis is mine, but pink eye for everyone sounds like it's going to be amazing. An anti-vaccine Health Department seems like the perfect sequel to the COVID ball drop/denial of the first admin.

Rampant infectious disease, tariffs, and mismanagement on everything are exactly the changes needed to help every American. /s
