Oh yes, I totally believe that they were really going to donate $7600, yep. And now they're definitely going to give $7600 to St. Jude's. Yeah right. I'll bet they've never given a dime to anyone and don't leave tips either.

Yeah I heard the Ron Howard narrator voice in my head saying "...he wasn't".
In my country, saying "I bet they don't leave tips" is a compliment and "I bet they leave tips" is an insult.
I bet you don't leave tips. :)
Thank you!
People downvoted you for living in a society. People downvoted you for existing.
They leave those fake $100 bills with Jesus quotes, which are as good as the real thing!
The turd that posted that likely had a mommy and daddy and look how they turned out. A poster child against opposite sex parenting.
They weren't going to donate shit. They just saw an opportunity to try to shit on someone else, and fabricated a lie.
So a sick child will learn a lesson?
No the sinners will learn a lesson the baby is just acceptable fallout of the lesson...I fucking loathe the way some people think
So wait a minute they care about embryos in wombs but when born it's fuck you.
The unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.
They don't really care about embryos, it's just a way of punishing women.
Yup punish the "sluts" with parenthood and poverty, punish gay people with children dying from cancer, punish the heathens by hanging and burning them on pyres. The only thing they want in this world is hell for everyone, and deep down they know there's no god to give it to them so they have to do it themselves.
I love the 'deep down they know there's no god' as I've heard the exact opposite thing from theists.
They're not worried what a god thinks, only their congregation. There's so much "behind the curtain" sinning that they certainly don't act like there's an omniscient god judging them.
Hell, they do more sinning than me and I've dabbled in satanism.
Only if the parents are heathens(or they need anything that cant be achieved by sending thoughts and prayers™) Then it's gods punishment and they get to feel okay about condemning a literal baby to death.
This is how we fix all problems the human race is encountering.
Although, I'm pretty sure the bible has more to say on (and can be interpreted as against) the fun homosexual activities, rather than 2 homosexual parents
You can do what you want with your own money, but it costs nothing to keep your bigoted opinions to yourself. Also, the quotes around "hateful" trigger me a bit. It wasn't "hateful", it was straight-up hateful.

I used to not understand the concept of opportunity costs but now I'm beginning to believe that there is such a thing even when spouting disgusting, obnoxious, dogshit opinions. Like, some people in the world are losing out if they don't take an opportunity to slander and disparage someone else.
They're lower than dirt.
The most fake, hypocritical, entitled mother fuckers I have ever met have all been extremely religious.
Fuck religion.
Were they all Christians, or were they of a variety of faiths?
Don't know about them, but I've seen plenty of Jews like this.
Well, that's two religions, which are both part of the same family and are even arguably the same religion. That data doesn't tell us anything about Shintos, Haudenosaunee, Sihks, Maori, Hellenists, Aztecs, realists, pantheists, Buddhists, Celts, or any number of other religions I could name.
The problem is that people go their whole lives where the only religious people they interact with are Abrahamists, so they think Abrahamism is representative of all religions. But that's an extraordinarily sheltered viewpoint, and no good has ever come of dismissing foreign cultures out of hand with no relevant data.
Could you imagine being all powerful and creating same-sex attraction (or at least allowing it to be possible), but being so butthurt by it that you have to give babies cancer?
We need to PROTECT BABIES!
-That person.
Well not those sinful babies of course
Says the divorcee who spent all of their child's formative years trying to block the father from having custody.
No hate like Christian love.
Yes, that is the title
I doubt they were going to donate, just an asshole who felt like being an asshole.
Matthew 19:14
Interesting stuff in Matthew. If every Christian lived as if the book actually mattered, the world would be a much nicer place.
Suffer, little children!
I mean, I get that this is basically the last standing GOP policy, but to read those verses correctly, you have to remember that "to suffer" is another way to say "to put up with," and he's talking to his disciples, not the children. He's just saying "Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!"
I'm well aware. I'm making the joke that they think they should be making kids suffer.
I gotcha. :)
It doesn't mean "to put up with", it means "to allow".
Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master
To think of all the churchgoing slave owners with Jesus “literally” saying this.
That is why they selectively read from passages - both amongst themselves (ignoring the parts where they were commanded to help others) and those they had read aloud to their slaves (there is where they read all those other passages!).
Picking and choosing whatever people would like to believe - e.g. "God wants me to be RICH!" - is a very lucrative business model for pastors/priests/ministers. And quite a comfortable one for the believer too. None of those pesky "commands" like how the worker deserves his wages.
It is exactly like how on January 6 the self-styled "patriots" rose up to "defend" American democracy. Jesus / God's message - Love One Another - is fantastic, too bad the religion part gets in the way of it.
If they didn't want to donate, they could have said nothing. This is the worst sounding rejection.
i dont usually get mad at these but this one achieved it.
Ah, but at least they sent their prayers - that'll make everything better /s
Seriously though, how can people live with such vitrol in their hearts towards people who've done literally nothing to hurt them.
Bigots call themselves lots of benevolent things. They're still just bigots.
Scumbag.
be a shame if somebody found out who they were and beat the shit out of them.
That is so anti-New Testament that it hurts. People like this can go straight to hell. Atheists are fine, but this asshole goes to hell.
