Pie chart of Conservative Christian Facebook posts

[Mira]

or:An illustration of our need to pass the 28th amendment and remove all influence of church on the state

[LonePirate]

1. I fully support your 28th Amendment. It's long overdue.

[GreatGazoo]

2. More like: 55% "repost this and God will bless you", 20% 'this cloud / toast / rock looks like (pick

one) Jesus, Mary, Satan, Osama bin Laden. 20% 'Obama is a muslin' 5% 'this is a Christian nation' or 'Founding fathers were all religious zealots'

[Populist_Prole]

10. Good one!

I used to get that kind of crap in email forwards from relatives all the time. Most of these people were apolitical ( as far as I could tell ) till 2008, at which point they went RW nutjob.

I changed my email and added "rules" to cut my inbox from the clutter of RW bullshit.

[Unknown Beatle]

35. Something happened to apolitical people in 2001 when McMonkey was

sworn in as our false, election stealing president.

People I knew that were rather apathetic about politics, were suddenly raging, hate-filled, right wing religious conservative, flag waving, finger pointing, knuckle dragging lunatics. Really scary.

What I would do, though, when I received hate-filled emails about anything left wing, was respond to everyone through CC with the truth, with links and graphics included. After about a month, emails stopped pouring in, I guess they just decided the truth was too much to handle.

47. It started with little Ronnie Raygun.

Morning in America really should have been Mourning in America.

18. I posted the chart on my facebook and added your comment....

Yes - I gave credit for your comment to "DUer GreatGazoo". I hope you don't mind.
Your comment made me choke laughing.

[Marrah_G]

50. It is so hard not to poiint out the absurdity to those who post those memes

But....they aren't doing anything malicious and I like the people, so I just ignore the posts.

[GreatGazoo]

51. I hear you. If it works for them then that's their thing and yes most of them are nice people

It is common enough that engendered this FB counter-meme

[procon]

3. Republicans are very materialistic.

They value their possessions far more than they do people. I don't understand how that squares with their frequent exclamations of religious piety, the contorted mental gymnastics are beyond any rational thought limitations.

[SoapBox]

12. OMG!

I've never thought of putting it that way.

I've always felt they were selfish but I love that they are "materialistic".

[alterfurz]

13. "prosperity theology"

Many Republican fundies believe that material wealth is a sign of God's favor, and conversely if you are poor, you must be doing something wrong, and poverty is God's punishment. Taking this view perversely further, to help the poor actually subverts God's will!

[BlueJazz]

4. "Conservative Christians" are like sharing the planet with fairly-smart monkies.

[hifiguy]

6. Monkeys with language;

ungrammatical, poorly spelled language. Who think there is a Supreme Monkey out there someplace.

[packman]

9. Yes, there is a Supreme Monkey

And it is I - The Great Macaca

[ancianita]

17. ...

[hifiguy]

19. That IS a pretty good/cool monkey.

But I'm not sure he's the Supreme Monkey.

[Glassunion]

23. I don't mean to be an asshole.

"Ungrammatical, poorly spelled language. Who thing there is a Supreme Monkey out there someplace."

*Think

[hifiguy]

25. Operator error.

Fixed. Tnx!

[Glassunion]

27. Check my sig line.

Always blame the phone.

[hifiguy]

28. The original WAS typed on a phone.

Laptop is much better.

[Glassunion]

30. iPhone = plausible deniability.

[hifiguy]

31. . . .

[oldandhappy]

5. yep. love the orange part!

[nxylas]

41. I laughed at that too, until I realised...

...that it's a bit of a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. Posting about helping the poor and needy can easily come across as "look how charitable I am".

[Old Crow]

7. Really funny. And very accurate. (N/T)

[LannyDeVaney]

8. My personal favorite ...

is the 1 prayer per share. Don't share if you want the child to die.

When I see those, I think "Wow, your god must be a real dick".

[mindwalker_i]

11. "Liberals suck"

Only if you treat us well

[Glassunion]

24. I like how you think!

[mindwalker_i]

33. Wish I could claim total credit for that one

A gal said that to me in college, in a science fiction class.

[damnedifIknow]

14. The religious right is off the wall

I am not kidding one bit. I highly recommend a mass Dr. Phil appointment.

[hifiguy]

20. Horse-sized suppositories of a strong anti-psychotic.

Administered every hour on the hour.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

15. "Conservative Christian" is a contradiction in terms.

[SunSeeker]

44. Yup. An oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp. nt

[ancianita]

16. Thank you for the biggest laugh of my day!

[RockaFowler]

21. You forgot Planned Parenthood

That's their subject du jour

Oh and today one of them posted a message to God to steer Erika away from Florida. After it was posted, the Hurricane Center updated the cone to move the storm closer to Florida. Thanks a lot God!

[nxylas]

42. Comes under "Obama sucks" or "liberals suck"

Which could easily be combined into one category, since it tends to blend together into one long whine.

[DhhD]

48. Without the Gulf of Mexico and its ability to stir wind currents, most of the United States

would be a desert just like the rest of the World all around the 30 Degree Latitude of the Globe. The Great Saharans of the World-US being one.

[TygrBright]

22. Missed an important one: "We're So PERSECUTED!" n/t

[Glassunion]

26. Well... They do have a point.

I'm currently in the process of amassing my arsenal to fight the war on Christmas.

[RKP5637]

29. Religion AKA Subversive Politics!

[abelenkpe]

32. Helping the poor sick and needy...

[mnhtnbb]

34. That's hilarious, Mira--especially the orange part!

[ThoughtCriminal]

36. There's a pie chart within the piechart

divided in the same section and about 85% the area. Snarky, counterfactual, anti-liberal JPEG from right wing sight that seemed very clever to them because they don't even think about longer than it took to copy and paste it.

[nightscanner59]

37. The Faux News effect

Many of the so-called "christian's" versions of love are something Jesus of Nazareth would turn their den of thieves tables over, chase them out and call out their bigotry and wealth justifying for what it is.
And it's exactly why their leaders will try and crucify Bernie's platform with satanic lies.
I hope and pray more people are waking up to this. Perhaps more bullets and murdering in the name of their superstition will convince more to see the light.

[DebJ]

38. One of my conservative cousins posts about abortion every single day, over and over and over. n/t

[ThoughtCriminal]

39. Missing slice - at least 15-20%

Outrage JPEG about why the media is a covering story they don't like, but isn't a covering a story that they think happened this week, but actually occurred in 2009 (30 Marines killed in Afghanistan comes up at least once a month).

[PatrynXX]

40. doesn't have PP stuff in there yet

probably would have made sure the blue piece would disappear too

[SunSeeker]

43. LOL So true.

[Enthusiast]

45. This pie chart ignores the fact that the poor, sick and needy are useless eaters

addicted to the government dole.

[ileus]

46. Where is the rest of the article? Who preformed the research?

[maryellen99]

49. Also don't forget it's ok to molest your sisters and cheat on your wife

As long as you are a white conservative Christian
