It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I have a new theory: American Christians want to pretend that they have read the Bible, but no one can make it past, like, Leviticus. So instead, they just really double down on the first part about creationism, hating women, and wars of genocide committed by the chosen people that they did read and extrapolate that for the whole book.
That's almost a kind theory compared to the alternative: they read all the parts about Jesus being kind to the poor and hating on the rich and consciously chose to reject it.
I knew a Mormon girl growing up who did take it very seriously and had read the Book of Mormon, The Bible (KJV), The Doctrine & Covenants (by far the most interesting Mormon scripture as it is the revelations of Joseph Smith alongside Mormon history and up to his death. Actual ‘prophetic’ ramblings of an Uber-American weirdo conman) cover to cover several times.
She told me the hardest part by far was the Old Testament outside of Genesis and Exodus and a couple others because it was insanely convoluted and boring. Just mundane rules and boring lineages and that kind of thing.
