I hope you don't think I have a foul mouth, because if I've ever said foul or abusive things to you or around you, I'm sorry. It's definitely not okay for men to use that kind of language or to beat anyone.
I find his foul mouth absolutely disgusting. And speaking that way in a church doubly so.
Men especially in fundie communities aren't ardently pro-life, even the ones who lean in a pro-life direction. Almost all radical pro-life and pro-choice people are women.
Come on Dud, don't make this about you Lol (sometimes, I think you're too nice to be a kiwi!) But in all seriousness I was just being sarcastic and stereotyping that fundie dads are all wife and child beaters like Goblin. I have heard the dads are forgiven for bad language and jogger words said in anger but if anyone else does a swear it's big trouble! So unladylike!
I'm still digging into him, but there are worse things ina a church than dirty words and I find the foul mouth pretty funny. Maybe that's because I'm against the idea of a physical church on general - Jesus followers can worship and gather anywhere, so that a sacred space isn't special to me in that regard? Plus it's only words.
His writing of his sermons needs work, it's kinda choppy and just could be written to flow better better, but his point makes sense to me as a nonfundie (but of course I'm incredibly proablrtion/pro-choice so anyone's reasons for wanting them or not are a mute point to me, as long as they're legal to get)
Also there is this phenomena of fundie women who get secret abortions, and still go picket and prolife stuff because they have to keep up the facade. I guess they get the part about "don't be hung up on this."
I know what you mean about the women, I've known a couple that crossed party lines and went from militant pro-choice to prolife and back to pro-choice, etc and they are pretty insufferable to talk to. I won't sperg on stories today but damn, it's a thing.
On the other hand, The fundie men are far more... Pragmatic... But on the other hand they can't fill out a worksheet on the female genitals parts names correctly or have even a basic understanding of women's healthcare or the science of babies. The women though, I've seen some really effective brainwashing techniques...
I see this in the potato baby department - the husband is usually like whatever, let it die peacefully, (I mean what use is a potato baby to a father?) but the women and mothers be all SAVE IT FOR JESUS! and want all life support possible. Or you see the family pictures and you can just tell the husband is just going along with what the wife wants , "if only you knew how bad things really are" fake smiling.
