    Sometimes I honestly wish heaven and hell actually existed and that I could see the look on the faces of people like this when they find out they aren’t in the one that they expected.

      If they did exist, they probably would go to the one they wanted. That’s kind of the problem. They invented them to assert whatever fucked up ideas they have of the world.

        That’s the beauty of this religion, especially in America. It’s the best excuse book to hide behind. No matter which way anything goes, it was always God’s will.

        And, as my dad once said, I’ll have to answer to God one day, but ONLY to him.

        How fucking convenient you abusive pile of vomit.

          Exactly. These people will claim that their religion is the only thing that can keep people moral (sign of sociopathy), but will then turn around and say anything they do is fine because they “believe” and just have to “ask for forgiveness.” It’s just narcissism and empathetic bankruptcy normalized.

        I’m not so sure of that. When you consider the pope evil and the words of Jesus blasphemous, I’m not sure there’s a good place in heaven for you when you’re also claiming to be catholic or christian or whatever it is called.

    I wish I had citations for this, but I seem to recall reading one of his books about preventing divorce. It could have been another god awful Christian couple book, though. I did read a few of his books.

    If a hetero couple is married, and the man wants to leave his wife for another woman, the wife needs to just take it and do nice things for him in order to convince him to stay.

    If he is not treating her right, she cannot outright say it. (If she makes him feel bad, it is her fault if he finds someone else!) No, instead she needs to lead him to good examples.

    As a wife, a woman must cook delicious food. If she is a bad cook, she is a bad wife.

    I don’t remember if it was in another book, but if a man disciplines his daughter too harshly, the wife should not stop him. Instead, she needs to talk to the daughter separately, try to make her feel better, and not make the dad look bad. Because if you stand up for your child, you are emasculating him or something. (Enabler much?)

    The only positive thing I saw was him seeing bisexuals as distinct from homosexuals. Not that he had anything good to say about either, but… No bi erasure?

    This dude really fucked me up as a youth, rest in piss.

      It probably made the world a tiny teensy bitty better place, so there’s that.

      Oh, right, we should not enjoy people death. Thought and prayers, and all that jazz.

      I imagine some perfectly good land is now wasted to hold his remains. He will live on and be remembered as a beacon of a lot thats wrong with christians and religion in general. A grifting mean spirited racist clown who serves the world better as a corpse than he ever did in life.
