I have to agree. There are a few people saying that she’s “a product of her generation.” I just don’t believe that - my grandmother, who raised me, was born in 1926 and she couldn’t have been more the opposite. She never told me this shite, and none of her friends would have agreed with it either. She was never racist either, so I never listen to “product of their generation” excuses for that either. I see a lot of people are saying they quit Facebook, and I’m another, but I quit when I lived in America for a while - it seemed like every city everywhere, no matter how “easy-going” according to other Americans, would have several of these mega-churches.
You might not know these people were part of such a church. They would seem nice, seem to have the right values, feed the homeless, give a shite about others, and then you suddenly discover on their Facebook, they’d have bollocks like this, or their opinion of homosexuality would be, “Oh, I hate the sin, not the sinner.” (You fucking what???) But yes, of course, my very favorite were not “old” misogynistic women; I didn’t even run into many older women secretly filled with hate that often. It was, in fact, more middle-aged misogynistic women who would be incredibly into supporting abstinence before marriage and outlawing abortion… almost ALWAYS because they’d had an abortion themselves and they “so deeply regretted it” even though having a child at 15-16 would have ruined their lives (since now they had nice husbands and nice houses and teenage children of their own). It’s all just complete madness.
Anyway, I’ve never gotten back on Facebook, and I’m sad to see that if I did, I’d see these posts on this side of the Atlantic now, too. Or maybe it’s been here just as long. All they’re doing is adding God into the saying about the cow and the free milk; and only arseholes said that to begin with. Sigh.
