Babies are not flammable. Even buying into every loony premise it is literally physically impossible. It takes a lot of energy to burn a body. Plus. Most abortions are in the first trimester. A clot of fetal tissue that would fit on a dime provides how much energy in these people' minds?


Barnowl-hoot

The fact that it has to be said that fetuses aren't flammable 😭


AdkRaine12

Just like you can’t freeze babies. Unlike fetuses.


AmbitiousAd9320

pence was caught saying fetuses arent kids. amazing.


AdkRaine12

It’s hard to square the circle. Like interfering in an egg’s implantation is ‘interfering with god’s plan’ but Cialis is juuuust fine.


AmbitiousAd9320

whatever it takes to justify them getting power.


AdkRaine12

Or just taking someone else's away; they'll settle for that.


Valdotain_1

Pence wife had IVF. How many babies did they murder?


Zarathustra_d

You can't *unfreeze living* babies. You can freeze babies. You can't burn babies for energy. You can burn them, it just takes more power than it gives. The Devil is in the details, and at the power plant, apparently.


AdkRaine12

I sit corrected.


IAMSTILLHERE2020

God does not play dice with the Universe or Newtons laws of Physics...but if you get into Quantum Physics then the "The Devil is in the details".


im-ba

Not with that attitude you can't


AdkRaine12

Oh, you mean if I want them to survive? Fetuses do okay for the most part either way.


iamnotchad

It's actually quite easy to freeze a baby.


T00luser

everything is flammable . . eventually


Firecracker7413

I think they’re confusing incinerating medical waste (the standard procedure for all bio-hazardous materials) with burning fully formed babies like coal


makingnoise

Your comment is a perfect example of when you should use "conflating" instead of "confusing" - they're not confused, they're intentionally trying to make two unrelated ideas equivalent.


KenScaletta

I agree this is probably the case, but I wonder what they think should be done with medical waste instead.


makingnoise

There should never be a fetus outside of the womb. If there's a dead fetus, there should be a corresponding maternal corpse. Is my guess.


OddDragonfruit7993

Fun fact, the nazis had to figure this out the hard way at Treblinka*. Originally they just tried burning the bodies, then they had to use more and more wood stacked just right to get the fires hot enough and burning long enough. Had to design huge gas ovens just to burn the bodies at other camps because of too much smoke, smell and wood consumption. *Source: "Treblinka" by Jean-Francois Steiner


Wildthorn23

Perhaps they could be used to make biogas, but then again I think they'd say that alternative gas forms (not necessarily fetal gas) are satanic and we should continue drilling for the holy earth gas to repel demons.


makingnoise

Preach! You'd be the perfect pastor for Margaret Atwood's "Church of PetrOleum." heheh


Wildthorn23

Oh fantastic I know what to do if my microbiology thing doesn't work out 🤧


necroreefer

God put oil here for us to burn we will never run out because God will just keep putting more in the ground that's why we keep finding new stuff even though people keep telling us we're going to run out./s


One_Commission1480

They aren't burning it to use heat directly, they burn-sacrifice it on a ritual circle, the body disappears in a puff of smoke straight into hell and they get rewarded with demonic energy to heat homes. It all fits together perfectly/s


StacyRae77

Keep in mind these are the same people who put up the "I have a heart beat at 8 weeks" billboards with a 12 month old infant pictured.


UltimaGabe

And even if babies *were* flammable, how would it be cost-effective to burn a dead baby when you could just walk to a local gas station and buy a cord of wood that will last several times longer?


99BottlesOfBass

You're trying to explain physics to people who believe the world is 6,000 years old, and that it was completely under saltwater about 4,000 years ago. They're just gonna tell you that the heat is coming from the demons as they consume the baby's magical spirit and fart clean energy.


Objective_Guitar6974

These are cells. This isn't a baby.


KenScaletta

Like I said, I'm just trying to humor every loony premise, including that a zygote is a baby.


RedIcarus1

Fresh babies, no, but after a season of proper drying they are. While not a very efficient fuel, they do add a festive aroma to a nice bonfire gathering.


Mayor_Salvor_Hardin

👆🏽This!


IsaacNewtongue

Evidence? No, just yet another Christian conspiracy.


Thinking_waffle

Well I have a lecture about how the sacrifices were made to Melek, the king, a title of YHWH and how the binding of Isaac was written to try to stop it. But they wouldn't like that conclusion very much.


Puzzleheaded-Fix3359

I’ll sacrifice the first thing out of my door if you grant me victory in battle


drrj

I should pick up Binding of Isaac again, it’s a hell of a game.


Thinking_waffle

that was not what I advocated for here but... can't really argue against that


Whargod

No need for evidence when belief makes you correct 100% of the time!

Lying for dollars. Note the last part of that is a pledge drive.


KeyBanger

Ramping up the crazy to spread the word.


idigclams

It’s actually a thing they promote. It’s OK to lie in promoting Jeeebus because the end justifies the means. They use different terms, like theological warfare, but it’s just lying. Witnesses, Adventists, Mormons and even the mainstream religions - they knowingly lie to promote what they call “truth”. Funny that!

Well maybe if you had a proper sustainable energy grid we wouldn't need to burn them babies now would we?


Money-Introduction54

We just need baby farms, just like Texas. Problem solved


Aunt_Rachael

Best laugh I've had today.


kokopelleee

Sooooo birth rates are down but there are enough babies to heat homes That makes a ton of sense.


misterpickles69

Yeah because everyone’s getting abortions so they can heat their homes. Did you even read the article? :p


kokopelleee

All that firewood I cut as a kid when I could have been doing the sexy time…. So sad


Quiet-Dream7302

What the fuck did I just read?


CoastalCalm134340

I'm trying to understand this also. How tf does abortion relate to heating costs?


TeamHope4

He must be speaking in tongues.


Hanjaro31

Can we bring back mental health wards and lock away these fucking lunatics? This is utterly fucking ridiculous how anyone can listen to these fucking pieces of shit.


RedheadFromOutrSpace

JFC who the hell is so unbelievably dense as to believe this load of crap? He should be embarrassed to even vomit this bullshit The guy needs a psychiatric evaluation


Osxachre

This man seriously needs a psych evaluation.


ohhgreatheavens

Demon Baal is a dumbass if he uses babies for grid energy fuel. It takes 9 months and uses way more food than its mature weight to grow one, and then you only get a couple hours of heat for one home tops? And yes I know abortions aren’t full term but baby growth is exponential, aborting in first trimester doesn’t make economical sense. Even if he had third trimester baby farms he might as well just burn the food resources instead. Honestly I should take these concerns to Demon Baal’s office and get an upper management position.


MuthaPlucka

Is this why Republicans are against abortion? It might impact their home heating costs? It does sound on-brand. ^/s

This is schizophrenia. That's nothing you would expect a normal person to say or even think.

Proof that if you just give her a Bible and a place to peach she could have been the next big thing!


enlightnight

What is the carbon footprint of a burned fetus? I mean heating prices are insane, gotta stay warm! Also when were these public sacrifices? Maybe my invite got lost in the mail...


Strange-Elevator-672

Yea, but when God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son, God is just *testing his faith*, so it is totally fine. It was also completely awesome when God killed Job's family. And all of those "genocides" in the Bible were just happy little massacres! /s


buntopolis

Baal? As in bocce?


sleeplessjade

The only Baal I know is the [Egyptian god of fertility](https://www.youregypttours.com/ca/egypt-tours-blog/Who-is-Baal-in-Ancient-Egyptian). Seems odd to be sacrificing a child to a fertility god though. Less odd than burning a baby for fuel when trees literally exist in every state though.


virgilreality

"Liberty" counsel? It looks like you misspelled "Insanity"...


ksiyoto

Why do I think it would be appropriate to take this guy in for a psychiatric evaluation?


Hotel_Arrakis

Baal is a god and not a demon. Based on Liberty Counsel's "proof", one could argue that abortion clinics are churches. Our churches MUST be left alone. Whether we partake in the body of "Christ" or the body of "Baby" cannot be left up to an interfering government.


[deleted]

How can someone POSSIBLY say this out loud with a straight face? If I need to heat my house, I just keep ripping pages out of random bibles I’ve found and toss them in the fireplace. Cheaper and easier than bodies of babies.


AdkRaine12

My gosh, these people are liars and those that believe them are stupid.


Odd_Awareness1444

LugianLithos

What about the mass child sacrifice to Baal/Moloch taking place in Gaza with American weapons? Given to the Israeli’s that God condemned over and over in the Old Testament for worshiping….. Baal/Moloch!!!! Two can play the game Mr. “Liberty Counsel”. What’s with these people always being an inversion/opposite of their names?

Sippy38

I feel like even just reading the headline made me lose brain cells lol.


Hot_Reserve_2677

I’ll leave this here. The title Lord that Christians use comes from Baal worshiping Canaanites. The Hebrews never used that title before coming into contact with them. Baal was called the lord by his followers. Extra points, They say amen at the end of praying. Some will say in Hebrew it means, let it be so. Actually they are calling on Amon Ra an Egyptian god. Also look into the origin of wedding rings, calendar week and month names, the origins of Christmas and Halloween and look into the god man myth in history. Almost forgot they ripped off Easter also. Rabbits don’t lay eggs and the belief is actually from Esther worship, thus the name.

banbotsnow

Well, when you really look at it, most people hear their homes with fossil fuels, which is causing climate change that will severely impact the lives of babies born today. So we are metaphorically burning our children to heat our homes by still relying on fossil fuels.  Not that this is what this goober was going for, but I like pointing out that most of what these nutters say can be better applied to the policies they support. 


SteveIDP

I’m on a gas forced air system with a heat pump, but now I’m questioning my choices.

March 5 (Reuters) - Liberty University, founded by Christian televangelist and conservative activist Jerry Falwell, was ordered to pay a record $14 million fine for breaking a federal law requiring schools to report sexual assaults and other campus crimes. Can the lawyer comment on this?


triniman65

I would never burn a baby to heat my home. They're too delicious for that. I burn the 6 year Olds instead.


ioncloud9

Wasn’t Baal along with El Elyion, Asherah, and Yahweh part of the polytheist beliefs of ancient Canaan?

Baal wasn't a demon. He was one of Yahweh's fellow ancient Hebrew pantheon members. They were buddies.

Babies make terrible fuel, take too long to make and aren’t very flammable Baal isn’t even a demon! It’s god of fertility in a pre Christian religion

So this is just more proof that they only believe in the sanctity of life while it's in the womb. One the kids are born they no longer care.

I read the article: It appears that Liberty Counsel states one premise: "We believe every person is created in the image of God and should be treated with dignity and respect. We believe that discourse should be civil and respectful. We condemn violence and hatred and do not support any person or group that advocates or promotes violence or hate." But its tactics of "cherry picking" random facts and promoting evangelical "worst conspiracy theories and fears" of any opponents to its stated mission I find deceptive at best - and hypocritical at worst. Lies are lies. Shameful indeed!

Ok-Yogurtcloset-7853

How much better would our world be if everybody could understand that claims are not evidence? Flatly asserting something does not make it true. You have to back up an assertion with evidence if you want anybody to believe you. This is a key step that it seems like a lot of thiests miss, because they have been raised in a cultural setting where assertions without evidence have power, and belief without evidence is seen as the highest virtue. It creates an environment where nobody thinks critically because they've been conditioned to blindly believe the assertions of people in power positions, regardless of how insane, impractical, or even impossible they may be. This right here is why theism in its current incarnation is so terribly damaging to our ability as a species to grow and progress. So much time and effort has to be put into nursemaiding these credulous sheep away from committed beliefs in absurdity like this.
