I've often wondered what levels of hypocrisy might exist within the Pro-Life Republican Politicians.

Or an anti-gay-pastor being gay? Confirmation bias? Looking to the exception to project a norm? We often build up our own beliefs, upon the premise, but shouldn't we check them lest we live off our own lies? One of my cousin's sent something similar on Facebook, but he used 'pro-life' instead of 'Republican.'

Maybe I'm the exception to the rule (pro-life, not necessarily republican, I vote opportunistically for whoever seems the most decent and honest and possibly shares some of my values), but I support those growing kids and even volunteer and support attempts to help adults in foodbanks and rescue missions. I don't think we are all hypocrites, at least intentionally, and I don't believe all politicians have mistresses on the side. And I don't believe all Republican politicians are just 'pro-life' to get into good retirement plans. I might be naive though...

I could see, not in the too distant future, death camps for Christians, provided the rest of society believes the hype...

The point of the post was to propose that a Political Title or a Religious Title doesn't always give reference to the person underneath it.

Are you suggesting that I have said that all Republicans or all Christians are hypocrites?
No no....... I am suggesting that hypocrites are hypocrites!
There is a difference.

Look..... let me give you an easy example.... I'll pluck one from the first idea I have..... Oh yes....
A Socialist Political Leader who campaigns for quality education in State schools and screams about Private Paid School Privileges is discovered to be sending their own children to a Top Private School. That wouldn't mean that Socialist Political Leaders are all hypocrites.
Easy........

A hypocrite is a hypocrite.

I could see, not in the too distant future, death camps for Christians, provided the rest of society believes the hype...

Oh please.........
Just because extreme fundamentalist Christianity is earning itself a dreadful reputation, mostly because of its ideas about executing gays et al, that doesn't mean that the world will build any death camps. But maybe in an extreme Christian World there might be death camps for gays and transexuals? That actually does seem closer to possibility, maybe?

What a strange post.......
I'm more worried about the chances of an extremely religious group gaining power in a country than any secular one.

Imagine a group that enforces Old Testament laws (some Cherry-picked ones) upon the people, with public executions for various offences. A bit like, say, Shi'ite Islamic Iran which uses Old Testament law to execute its convicts in the streets, crane hangings, that kind of thing. Or Sunni Saudi which beheads with the sword, etc But I wouldn't think that a Christian government of any kind would really do that, would it? ....... would it?

This thread's title, a very strange suggestion.

Do you have any strong 'All States' legislation to protect from victimisation, harassment, unfairness, inequality for women?
In the UK we even have legislation to protect people's marital status. What I mean by that is, if a 24yr old married woman applies for a job and is rejected just because she is married or engaged then s/he has a case against that employer. Some employers want to only employ single women, or a particular age group, or .... it goes on. Well over here such employers can find themselves ion deep trouble.

A woman who feels more comfortable wearing pants or trousers cannot be made to wear a skirt, etc etc.

Although we hear that women receive less pay than men that is often because a company's whole human resource is placed in to one equation and a wage split between men and women calculated...... some companies still employ more males. But we have had equal wage (for same job) legislation since about 1970. A Cabinet Minister Barbara --------- ( forget her last name) pushed for and introduced an equal pay for females Act after Ford Motor Company's upholstery workers (The Dagenham girls) went on strike for fair pay and caused all production to halt. You can't sell a car without any seats! :)

A brilliant film about all that is titled 'The Dagenham Girls'. Unbelievable guts, they had. Ford Motors put massive pressure on the Wilson Government to back off about their pay structure or they would leave Britain. Pressure was then put on the Women machinists to go back to work. They went and demonstrated in Parliament Square instead. Went the chips go down our women (generally speaking) have immense guts. All of 'em.

The only representation for women (as well as children, disabled, all, etc.) is legislated through the Democratic Party. Why? Because they are inclusive and not made up of a bunch of old guys who embrace white nationalism. In America, the GOP is the party of cruelty and corruption.

Back when TOL was a busier place, there were actually quite a few posters who indicated in a poll that homosexuals should be executed. There were posters who advocated for stoning to be brought back. Who didn't have much of a problem with marrying off young girls (because Mary in the Bible was a young girl). And so on. Quite a few bloodthirsty fundies.

As well as that thread “On Deservedness” discussing how women deserve to be raped. That is the type of mentality that “kills” forums.

Don't like remembering that but it's necessary, to remember what it would be like if they managed their ideal theonomy.
