An app called Bless Every Home, which has been backed by some of the biggest names in evangelical circles, is mapping the names and addresses of immigrants and non-Christians.

The hot new thing in proselytizing is an app that allows Christian conservatives to collect data on whole neighborhoods of potential converts.

There was a Masto post recently where someone's conservative mother told her that she knows being gay is a choice, because she feel attraction to girls, but she chooses not to act on it, and that's the responsible Christian thing to do or w/e.
It legit made me all of a sudden realize why there's so much overlap between "we have to punish the gays and make it illegal" and "I secretly go to male prostitutes all the time" in Republican circles. It just all of a sudden harmonized and clicked into place and made perfect sense.
Many that think being gay is a choice, are in fact bisexual themselves. So for them it's a choice on whether or not to act on it. And they project that everyone else is the same.
And even then it's not really a choice, since you can't really choose to stop having feelings. I guess that for bi people it's easier to pretend, but where there's love, there's love.
It's like, being a hetero dude and vlbeing forced to go with a girl when there's another one you love. It's hard in any case.
People tend to project themselves on other people. We all do it, and it can be shocking to find how different people actually are from each other. I've heard all my life from certain Christians that people who are atheist have no moral compass and there's nothing stopping them from killing and raping people. Which I find revealing, because they are saying their beliefs are the only thing stopping them from doing those things. I have never once wanted to rape or kill anyone, maybe that's why it's easy for me to not believe in god.
That about the moral compass, and telling you that you cannot be happy without Jesus in your life are crocks of manure I know plenty of non-christians that live extremely happy and are much Kore decent than most of the Christians I know, including myself. In the same subject, I know plenty of Christians whose demeanor wouldbhave satanists praying for them since they could be worse people. And religions? Biggest issue in the world, bar none. Having faith is one thing, I have faith. I do NOT follow religion. Religions are full of dogmasbthat you are supposed to follow without question. Religion is what has Gaza busted the way it is.
It's projection every time with conservatives. They hate you because they think you're as shitty as they are.
