Unhinged theory: he's going to divorce and deport his "unamerican" wife and then marry Charlie Kirk's widow for the PR on a 2028 presidential run.

    That's about as unhinged as holding a door open for an elderly person.

    That's the most hinged JD Vance theory I've ever heard, only one problem: isn't Vance ostensibly Catholic? Divorce is a problem, which is going to be more of a problem for her than for him

    Is this just getting a pretext ready so that he can divorce her and hook up with Charlie Kirk's widow and have it be considered moral in the eyes of MAGA?

    That whole speech was just weird. He starts out by saying that he's always been somewhat "agnostic", which is why he and his wife get along so well, because they can both just talk about this stuff, openly with each other.

    And then he says, "That's why we decided to raise our kids Christian"...and I was like, wut? Mutherfucker, that's not what being "openly agnostic" implies, at all. That doesn't even make logically consistent sense.

    And then he concludes that he's always hoped his wife would convert to Christianity too? JFC. Nothing he says is for real. Anyone listening to this asshole talk, and can find a way to nod along to it, is not actually listening to what he's saying.

    What if she starts praying to Jesus as an avatar of Vishnu? Would that meet the threshold?

    Given how few "christens" are Christian, she only needs to state once that she is christian. She needs to make no actual changes, attend church, read the bible, nor pray. Heaven forbid she do something like feed the hungry, help the needy, or give her wealth to improve lives for her fellow humans.

    Politics as celebrity gossip, and I have to see it to stay informed about the kind of flame wars being stirred

    Fucking exhausting trying to keep up with how opinions are being framed; so that I'm not caught off guard by the next "outrage" that can have a real effect on actual policy

    Religion is the most destructive human invention.

    You should be able to hold yourself to beliefs you openly choose to impose on yourself, and help others who choose similarly without external coercion, but the moment choice is absent or removed, its legitimacy evaporates.

    It can be an effective for social cohesion in juvenile societies, but has a use-by date that rivals raw milk.

    I consider religion to be the most destructive human invention because most of the destructive actions performed by humans are inspired, influenced, or justified by it.

    Destruction isn’t inherently a bad thing in moderation, but no one can legitimately claim religion has a track record of moderation.

    What a thoroughly fascinating non sequitur.

    Fire was a discovery, not an invention.

    I think we got civilization despite religion. Religion has been fighting progress all along.

    humans existed for hundreds of thousands of years before recorded history; I think your hypothesis really applies to the previous 4000 years, and not so much on the lack of counterexamples.

    it's all skycake.

    Religion was necessary to get us to this point,

    this is the skycake theory right?

    because otherwise I'm dubious

    I think the most likely outcome is that she actually "converts".

    Next up: honey your skin is too brown. The MAGAts want you to be lighter before they'll accept me so could you please bleach your skin while I'm out visiting Kirk's widow?
