Because….and this is importantly….the dead Texans are what tells us the policies are working.

All the intercessional prayer bullshit is just that: bullshit. I prayed for my kid to survive, and he did. You prayed for your kid to survive, and she was swept away to her death. I guess I’m a better pray-er than you. Or God loves me more than you. Or god works in mysterious ways. Or any number of utter fucking cop outs. If god decided to “call all these kids home,” fuck your god. I choose anyone who fights against such a “god,” so “team Satan” for me. If god says “Brisket’s prayer was better, so his kid lives, but you didn’t have enough prayer warriors on your side, so your kid dies,” fuck that god all the way to hell. The “god” created by modern Christianity is a genuinely evil construct, and the world’s greatest enabler of human evil.

Thankfully, we won’t have to worry about such scum infecting our great country any more. CLOSE THE BORDER!!! We are seeing a formerly functioning society self-immolate. Life-saving equipment, there for the common good, turned down - rejected with authority - because “Biden and all government is evil.” We will commit literal suicide before choosing ANYTHING that might be of interest and help to society as a whole, because that’s EVIL COMMUNISTSOCIALISM. I’m well past the tearing my hair out stage. This is mass insanity.

The most vocal…and also completely in charge of the Texas and US government. That part’s really important.

That is such a cop out and such shitty theology. If all that matters is the great beyond - and that’s EXACTLY the structure that theology builds - then it excuses all manner of evil here, and absolves you of all responsibility to build “the kingdom here on earth.” When someone suffers and dies, a response of “it’s for the best, they’re in a better place” enables more suffering. I hate that image Derka posted: it excuses all manner of evil. I hate the “nothing matters, because what really matters is our heavenly reward” because it allows you to check out on your duty to give yourself in service of your fellow man.

Mo-Ranch is hosting the TXSAR crew. They have functioning places to sleep on site, which are in short supply. I’m glad they are able to help.

Seriously, anything that challenges their chosen narrative, no matter how factual, needs to be removed from their view because they are the biggest snowflakes the planet has ever seen.

Also, I’m getting pretty goddamn sick and tired of my heart breaking for my fellow Texans, and the uniform reaction from leadership being “it could have been worse”…as they coast to re-election. If the leadership of our state and the population that elects them can’t seem to muster a single fuck about the well-being of the humans who live here…why do I keep wasting time caring? I can’t help myself, but knowing that every tear I shed is fucking wasted compounds the loss and rage.

I pray. I pray by acting. Because Christianity isn’t a faith, belief, or label. It’s a fucking WAY. It’s not something you say, it’s something you DO. The most meaningful prayer isn’t done with your hands folded. It’s done with your hands in motion, feeding, helping, holding, DOING. What we have in American Christianity? It’s 99% performative bullshit done to absolve the powerful of any responsibility or obligation to actually use their hands to HELP others. Prayer is doing “for the least of these.” In America, prayer is saying meaningless words while working to hurt the least of these. In other words, the opposite of “the way.” I hate American prayer.

Man….you’ve learned nothing. Our leaders will blame Biden and Obama, probably saying that they HAD to divert resources that could have been used for flooding to chase dirty illegals. So really, it’s the fault of dirty brown people. You know that’s correct. The one thing they will NEVER do is take any responsibility.

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance is on the ground, coordinating with local congregations: https://pcusa.org/disaster-assistance/active-responses/national-disaster/texas-hill-country-flooding Maybe…but…it may also have been a smart move keeping local resources local, when the forecast indicated we may need them around here (and indeed we did - multiple rescues and people lost locally). I’d wait to hear more about this story to figure out what really happened.
-
Oh, and from a friend at one of the local churches, all 27 of the missing Mystic girls are confirmed dead.

I know it’s annoying. I know that message I posted is the same thing, over and over. Yet….its also true. Shit, the metaphor works well in this thread. Sorry not sorry I keep shouting about the wall of water headed our way. Maybe if we’d fucking do something about it, and not double down on our current path, I wouldn’t have to say anything else. But it genuinely pisses me off when everyone tries to sell the “this is Texas, we love and help each other!” lie when those same people celebrate tossing a huge percentage of this state’s population, the people who build your homes, prepare your food, to the ground in cuffs, shove them in camps, all that shit. I’d love it if we meant what we said and practiced what we preached. And I’m sorry if it upsets you to be reminded that we don’t. But I’ll never be silent in the face of this shit. It would be evil for me to do so. Care for every human in this state as much as you care for each of those little girls, that’s all I ask. Yet, it’s clearly too much to ask.

Brisketexan started following July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy

Moran, was the head of Conoco. Eventually donated to the church (ironically, Moran was a BIG Catholic, there’s a whole story). The slide is absolutely still there, the sleds, the whole deal. It’s legendary. They do a big polar bear fundraiser thing on it in the winter. Also, found out today someone close to me had a daughter at Mystic. She was at the Cypress camp, so she’s fine. But goddamn.

Epstein files update (there are no Epstein files)
Brisketexan replied to Gil Bang's topic in Cloak Room
Man. I guess all of the "Epstein Didn't Kill Himself" MAGAts who just couldn't fucking shut up about it for the past several years just all simultaneously had their computers crash or something, because.....crickets. REally weird, I just don't get it, technology doesn't usually fail for entire groups like that. Probably oughta have tech support look into it.- 3656 replies
