    My favourite conspiracy theory is every Gideon bible has a listening device in it and you should put the bible in the safe so the Gideon’s don’t spy on you. Yes, I always put the bible in the safe. Yes, I leave it in there for housekeeping to find.

              Since it is 100% not AI, it seems your opinion on what is AI slop is wrong and can be discarded without care.

      It’s only that way because the Gideon’s made it their church’s mission to get a Bible in every room. A single organization is responsible.

    Few years ago I was staying in the motel in Florida and had nothing to do. I’m not religious, but for some reason decided to read the Bible that was in the room. As soon as I opened it, right on the first page there was a used condom covered in blood. I’ve never opened a single Bible after that.

    Would Jesus be political if he came back to Earth/

    Have his second home in Palm Springs and try to hide his worth/

    Take money from those poor folks, if he came back again/

    And admit he’s talked to all those preachers, and say they been a-talkin to him?

    Would he wear a pinky ring, would he drive a fancy car/

    Would his wife wear pearls and diamonds, would his dressing room have a star?

    If he came back tomorrow there’s something I’d like to know/

    (Would you tell me) would Jesus wear a Rolex on his television show?

        It’s a funny song highlighting the hypocrisy of televangelists and, by extension, for-profit religion (even if it’s non-profit according to the IRS, we know they don’t open churches to help people)

        I can’t say I’m surprised. He falls right in the middle of that demographic. I grew up listening to The Mississippi Squirrel and Eric the Awful. I grew up watching The Cosby Show too, and Hercules. Some of the old stuff is still enjoyable, even if the artist isn’t. Not all of it tho. I can’t watch most Kevin Spacey or Mel Gibson movies

          Yeah I listened to his songs a lot as a kid as well. It was just jarring to hear the silly song guy repeat quack conservative conspiracies when I looked back into him later down the line, though like you say, not unexpected given his demographic.

    I see religious shit randomly littering the hospital I work at. People put fliers in waiting areas or on window sills. Couple whole-ass bibles. Lately it’s been the little plastic jesus emoji looking toys.

    I put all of them in the trash.

    We have a fucking chaplain, if our patients want to see that shit they can talk to him. Hitting people with religious nonsense when they’re at their lowest is predatory and should be illegal.
