I’ve never know a happy Southern Baptist. I’m not interested in being as miserable as them.
The Southern Baptist only exist because the other Baptists were against slavery. Fuck every single one of them.
The only Southern Baptists I know were really into demonstrative shows of family unity at church, but would frequently get into massive screaming matches where they’d kick their teenage kids out of the house. They’re divorced now.
Do you know the best way to keep a Southern Baptist from drinking all of your beer on your fishing trip? Invite a second Southern Baptist.
Heh, heard that one with Mormon instead
Cheerful Baptist, really. I think its on accounta all the soda.
“We are miserable and we want you to be too !”
They’re not miserable though, these kinds of sentiment are just cope. We have to stop reading things that appeal to our feelings and desires, that’s how we got in this mess.
They’re generally much, much happier than progressives or leftists, because stupidity is directly linked to higher levels of short-term happiness and satisfaction from things like socializing and entertainment.
I don’t think there’s any good lesson to learn from this. But I think we have to do a lot better to understand the motivations of the people who are trying to affect the world with their agendas. They’re trying to make the world as “happy” as they are, and will always fail because others are too smart to accept a magical sky-daddy, just like they’re too dumb to see the wonder of a universe without a storyline.
Whatever happens in the near-term, we all have to continue to live next to each other so knowing what powers your dumb neighbors is more important than any other thing you could learn.
Remember kids, willful childlessness is the newspeak for vasectomy and histerectomy.
Any birth control
I’m getting a hysterectomy next month and I’m pumped. Having a uterus is the fucking worst.
My wife would agree. She has… so many womanly issues, but can’t find anyone to yank the damn thing out.
She wants no children.
I, her husband, had a vasectomy before we ever met.
We have no use for the damn thing and it just causes so many problems.
If you are in Pa or willing to drive there, DM me. I can send you the info of my doctor. She’s really open minded and is one of the few in the state that will sterilize women (taking out the fallopian tubes) just because they want it.
I have recurring endometriosis and we’ve just decided that a total hysterectomy to handle the issue for good is the best next step.
Along with the other commenter, if you’re near southern Illinois, I can point you towards the doctor my wife used.
Also here’s this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Djia_WkrVO3S4jKn6odNwQk7pOcpcL4x00FMNekrb7Q/edit?usp=sharing
It’s a list of doctors openly willing to do tubals. They might also do hysterectomies.
My doctor is on that list! I don’t wanna openly say who she is because I don’t wanna completely doxx myself, but I can reply to any DMs with her name if anyone wants a Pa recommendation. She’s great. First gynecologist that hasn’t tried to pressure me into wanting kids.
So if they want to use their influence for political ends, why are they tax exempt?
Gtfo with your logic. We don’t want your kind here.
- Jezus, probably
Because the law doesn’t matter when right-wing Jesus is on your side.
“Willful childlessness?” Is that like the opposite of incel? Volcel?
Lol, you don’t have to be celibate to be willfully childless. I have plenty of friends that got the snip/knot before having a kid because they don’t want one. And they are some of the sluttiest motherfuckers I know (and they’d take that as the compliment it was).
Did it in my mid 20s before it was all the rage. Couldn’t be happier.
The snip was the best money I ever spent. I wear condoms because I don’t want a disease, but one thing I ain’t worried about is getting someone pregnant.
Same, though the nice thing about being in a (largish) polycule is that someone gets tested every few months
Slutty childless polycule club represent!
Thanks for quoting this. It makes way more sense than the way I first read the headline as “Willful childishness.”
It means getting an abortion when your pastor rapes you.
That stance against sports betting annoys me so much, because that means I can’t just look at everything they stand for and say I want the opposite.
Yeah, predatory ads for gambling really drive me crazy. Although I’d say my reasoning for being against it is pretty different from the Baptists.
Can these fucking Christian extremists stop ruining everyone else’s lives
We all generally let them because we don’t like confronting people in public spaces because everyone is too insecure about social perception.
Inscribed on their swords and shields are “Won’t somebody please think of the children!”
Willful childlessness is such a hilarious concept. I’m rollin’ around here.
What are they gonna do? Check if you’re having unprotected sex sufficiently? Check how many miscarriages you’ve had? HAHAHAHAh. Fuckin’ donkeys.
edit: Small gubment.
Ban birth control in your area.
Story time - When I was a kid you had to get condoms through a family planning clinic or by crossing a border and many chose the latter. It was gone by the time I became old enough for it to be an issue for me.
Thankfully I live in the same country where there would immediately be government ending riots if there was any attempt to ban any form of birth control. Hell, the cops wouldn’t even stop the riots, they’d probably join in.
I hadn’t considered that though in fairness. It’s just such a crazy notion.
You mean, pay for my therapy, fix my broken personality, and force me to touch grass?
I mean…If you either need or should have it then… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯…sure? (genuinely hope you’re OK though. If not and you need to talk then hit me up.)
The touching grass part is up to you though. It’s just outside.
Oh. I guess I read that wrong as “willful childishness” and thought they were just being kind of petty at the end.
To be fair, that would be completely on brand for them
They won’t care if some of the women they hurt were genuinely trying to comply.
I’m so tired of religious extremists trying to force their shitty Puritanical views on the whole world.
And since Blue States contribute more to taxes than they take, and vice versa for red, we are literally funding them dragging us back to the dark ages.
Then I call for a national ceasefunding of blue states to red states.
Fleeing “religious persecution” in Europe, as they called it.

You can say whatever you please, but we all know it is hot air.
White Christian Conservatives are some of the most insulated-from-consequences people in the world.

The general population can barely hold attention spans on anything that doesn’t have at least three inset screens of people reacting and video games playing at the same time.
I am not holding my breath that even the most “inflammatory” ideas are more than WWE theater and fans of the show yelling at the screen. Wake me up when there’s an actual, organized resistance that doesn’t crumble into leftist infighting and purity testing because someone said the word “retard” and now everyone is at each other’s throats. (On discord of course.)
Welcome to lemmy. It’s a collection of federated communities. This community is hosted on lemmy.world, which employs similarly heavy-handed moderation tactics to Reddit.
However, like all lemmy instances the moderators are rather short-staffed so you’ll probably be fine unless someone goes out of their way to report your comment.
I came here after being permabanned from Reddit, but I still get posts removed. I recently looked at my Mod Logs for the first time, and was surprised at how many removals I had, some for really stupid stuff that would have gone through at Reddit.
Overall, though, Lemmy is a lot more permissive, especially compared to the new, post- HitlerPig Reddit.
Federated stuff like lemmy really ends to with a much wider range of mods / admins. There’s still a lot variation between mod teams on reddit too, but there’s a lot more similarities there between the biggest subreddits (especially because of “power mods”, and more overlap in userbase & culture).
Tldr expect weirder removal reasons here. And check where stuff is hosted when posting.
I’m still figuring out the nuances.
Lots of nuance, lots of seemingly conflicting stuff. Most everybody agrees that the “only good Nazi…”, though; I like it here.
All people have to do is stop donating money to religions and the religions lose their “power”.
The cult members just have to stop supporting the cult?!?
Look at captain obvious over here!
I’m kidding you a bit, but seriously, you’re just restating the problem.
Perhaps the message reaches someone who needs to hear it.
Maybe it needs restating over and over until people get it and act on it?
The problem is the people who do donate want all this to happen.
Southern Baptists? I think you left out all their other usual targets: Catholics, spicy food, jazz, orgasms for fun, bright colors not associated with flags or maybe a football team, female orgasms, singing, alcohol, drag shows, salads with less than 51% mayonnaise content, men using umbrellas, single mothers, showing people kissing on TV or movies, Jews, Muslims, really any brown person, wasabi, mangoes, and aged cheese.
Since you brought up salad, any lettuce other than iceberg, lest we forget arugala-gate
As long as there’s 1 liter of ranch dressing per leaf of lettuce, Jesus will allow it.
Midwesterner identified
I was speaking for blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus.
Dancing, you left out dancing and… fun. Short shorts, miniskirts and bikinis.
Yeah, I was going to list a lot of above knee-height clothing items and got lazy.
Baptist like to pick people who drank, did drugs and slept around to teach sunday school. This is no joke. They get some ‘reformed’ asshole with questionable decision making skills to instruct children and warn them of the dangers of having a good time.
Oh, cool! As a willfully childless person (even though I live with my partner and we have the necessary bits to try for children), I finally get to be one of the cool groups being ostracized by these stupid religious nuts. Hey Queer people! We get to hang out! Let’s party!
(I’ve been watching porn the whole time. Just let me have my moment feeling special.)
Southern Baptists are one step better than Al Queda in my mind. They should be outlawed as an extremist group.
That’s only because they don’t have the religious law in place yet.
Fully agreed.
They’re retched people.
I just had a look at the website of the church I once went to many decades ago, and it was interesting to see how all their bigoted positions were couched in layers of euphemism about “family”.
It’s as though their web guy tried writing what they really believed, read it back, and thought “we can’t say that out loud, it’s clearly unacceptable, how do we say this without saying it?”
Yep exactly.
