I'm so tired of this psycho Christian bullshit. When you teach people to fervently believe a bunch of things that make no sense... it's too easy to make up nonsensical excuses, and there are people who 100% fall for them.
And shit like this exactly is why religion needs to be kept out of school. If someone is curious, they can learn about it on their own, it's a decision best made once more mentally developed, anyways. Don't indoctrinate children with your bullshit, especially if the teachers are clearly not able to keep their own shit out of it.
Her attorney said Monique is just a "normal Bible-believing Christian."
That's an admission of guilt, not a legal defense! O.o
I disagree. If any of those "bible believing christians" had actually read the bible they'd know to be full of shit.
The American cults are truly fascinating as they managed to create the stronges gap between staun fundamentalist religious belief claims and a comical lack of actual scripture knowledge.
It shouldnt be considered a religion but a radical ideology with loose association to Christian symbolism but no actual connection to christianity.
It is truly amazing how some people claim to be incredibly firm believers in this or that religion and then it turns out they know almost nothing about the true principles and history. Like these people lately who have been saying Jesus's teachings were 'too liberal'. WTF, I know it's how they do it, but you're not suppose to just pick and choose.
So when I first read this I assumed that she posted a nazi meme that showed Nazi's in a good light.
An understandable mistake given the current political climate. But she shared a meme that equated nazi flags with pride flags.
In a really perverse way, I'm at least happy that she still equates being a nazi with something 'bad'. In her mind pride flags are bad so equating them with a nazi flag means she thinks that nazis are bad. What a relief!
Probably moreso insensitivity and stupidity than being a nazi
yes, we all know how mischievous loki tricking us for doing his shenanigans
With conservatives. it is always someone else at fault. Always.
Although I have to admit that blaming the Holy Spirit for Nazi behavior is a new, bold move. What's next? "Jesus would have shot this person, too!" or what?
Granted, it goes the other way too.
Doctor saves a Christian's life? Praise jebus!
Alberta, of course
It's like Texas and Florida had a baby
The best part of Alberta is leaving it.

Same, left two years ago and dread the one or two times a year I have to go back.
Probably gonna get downvoted for this, but that's a misleading headline. Nazi meme implies the meme itself is Nazi, where as the meme in question, according to the article, was comparing LGBT to Nazis.
I don't agree with the meme, for the record, I just have (what I think is) a reasonably specific definition of Nazi. "Bigoted" would be a more accurate word to use here.
But then, this is Not The Onion, and the headline is technically correct (it's a Nazi meme in that it's a meme featuring Nazis,) so whatever.
Yeah, it should be called an anti-trans or anti-liberal meme. Saying she was supporting Nazis is misleading and sensationalistic. However, ironically it is a point of view that historical or current Nazis would support.
Agreed.
Though I am now enjoying imagining this woman trying to be a subtle bigot at a party, while Hitler keeps butting into the conversation to emphatically support her...
I wish her self-awareness and growth, and all the discomfort, embarrassment and revulsion at her own choices that will come with it.
Ironic of someone to use the Holy Spirit as an excuse with the context of brainwashing.
Here's a friendly suggestion for Monique: if you are more concerned about protecting your fragile beliefs than understanding that freedom of speech does not absolve one from the consequences it brings, keep your Nazi memes to yourself and spare us the melodrama. The world doesn't need more deluded individuals who use religion as a shield for their bigotry.
Based
They aren't even following their religion properly. just using it to make themselves feel better and above everyone else.
normal Bible-believing Christian
I agree with her attorney.
Just a second. checks notes
God = Good
Devil = Bad
Something seems off here.
She's wrong
βOh God, make me not responsible for my own actions!β
STAR PLATINUM told me to post Satanic content then.
Oh fuck i did it again. I posted 15tb of jotaro p0rn because santa claus told me to.
π
Itβs the same kind of content as my content.
Jesus: "Whatever you want others to do to you, do that to them."
Monique (Probably): "But what if, and just hear me out here, I don't wanna?"
Bitch, did I stutter!?
Is she trying to tell us that God is the Nazi? Explains a few things
God is a dick. The only one in that whole family that is cool is Jesus but nobody listens to him.
I don't know. Lucifer seems like he had some good ideas.
Well, spirit of something, but whatever it is it isn't 'holy'.
The devil made her do it?
"She's a witch! Check if it weighs more than a duck!"
In Canada, btw.
In our defense it was in Alberta. At least our nutjobs stick together in one province, so there's that.
They spill out into Eastern BC sometimes.
Can we get rid of religion already? So POS people like this doesn't get an excuse.
Dude, same
Saying the loud part out loud
"No! It's God who is the racist one, not me!"
You'll be shocked when you see what he told the Israelites to do to the Caananites.
It's more like "god told me to do it, and god is good, therefore what I did is good"
I assume Monique LaGrange is related to Adrianna LaGrange? Same name, same stupidity...
Not how the HS works. Girl making excuses for doing a dumb.

You see, you drink it, you get drunk. Then you make bad decisions until you blackout.
Ohβ¦. They meant the other Holy Spiritβ¦
In case that's a serious question, the Holy Spirit is one of 3 in the Holy Trinity. The other 2 being the father (God) and the son (Jesus). The Holy Spirit can be summed up as the guiding conscience of Jesus inside you. The idea is once you have accepted Christ as your savior into your heart (symbolized in the ceremony of Baptism), the Holy Spirit is the mechanism through which you live a life according to the teachings of Christ (love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, etc.)
So, yeah, Jesus probably wouldn't have shared Nazi memes.
π
I guess you've also shown yourself to also not be a serious person by starting at mockery.
π
They never claimed it as matter of fact, i grew up Catholic and can tell you the same definition, it doesn't mean I believe it.
π
Tip your fedora a little harder dork.
It's irrelevant. The idea of spirit is subjective.
