If not Fox News, then where do you get your homophobic bigotry that makes you love to call people slurs on Hacker News, the bible? The same book that condones slavery? If you choose not to believe the pro slavery parts of the bible, then why do you choose to be a homophobic bigot, and spout that hateful nonsense in public on Hacker News, calling millions of people you know nothing about "degenerate", when you are the one who gets your bigoted beliefs from a pro-slavery work of fiction?
You are not only in denial about Project 2025, but also evolution, and the origin and age of the Earth and other planets and stars, and even the idea that slavery is wrong, if you actually believe what your bible says, which you're supposed to.
You, as a believer, should be policing and reforming your own religion instead of defending and evangelizing it and leaving it to us to clean up the damage to society done by your religion.
How about petitioning the Pope to amend the 10 Commandments to include a prohibition against slavery? Did you ever think of that, or wonder why there wasn't already one? Because your bible says slavery is A-OK, and I don't appreciate this framing of slavery as permissible by your bible, or you calling gays "degenerate" on Hacker News.
How about you do something about that, since you're the one who believes it? Or are you cool with slavery and you are cool with homophobia, since the same bible condones it in so many ways, and you appreciate that framing?
Oh but apparently it's much more important to prevent people from worshiping other gods, so that certainly deserved its own Commandment, to justify all those wars and inquisitions you fought against other religions.
There are many more slaves today than ever before in history. What are you doing about adding another commandment against Slavery to your Holier Than Thou Bible, when you're not so busy defending Christianity and attacking homosexuality online?
What is modern slavery?

>You might think that slavery is a thing of the past. But right now, almost 50 million people are trapped in slavery worldwide.
>It’s a problem that affects every country on earth – including yours.
Has it ever occurred to you that a religion whose bible supports slavery is morally bankrupt and definitely not the word of God, and so are you for not either changing it or renouncing that religion? It's all made up and rewritten by people anyway, and even if you believe in God, it's not like he couldn't add an anti-slavery commandment to the bible tomorrow if he wanted to.
