Some do. There’s a concept in some kinds of Pentecostal mysticism called Gifts of the Spirit iirc, including the Gift of Discernment, which means being able to intuit (technically god’s telling you and it feels like intuition) whether a statement is true or false
I grew up in a non-denominational (Pentecostal but worried that people will think they’re poor if they say so) church that didn’t use any of the Gifts lingo, but still taught that you receive that same set of supernatural abilities
CW violence, misogyny, racism
A guy in Atlanta murdered mostly Asian women near a couple of massage parlors, and I correctly assumed he was a sexually repressed Christofascist weeb. This was seen as politicizing a tragedy
I’ll join the auxiliary labor corps, and then get kicked out for being too sore and creaky all the time
It’s a weird, really bad situation. The distribution of guns in the US is strange, with gun-hobbyists holding a lot of them, particularly assault weapons. We have “licensing” programs for “illegal” weapons that allow you to own and use them if you’re rich, meanwhile we sentence weed dealers to mandatory minimums for just possessing an otherwise legal handgun when they fall victim to a sting operation
The US is ontologically evil is what I’m saying
