In reply to the discussion: Elon Musk said Bezos' ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott is destroying western civilization by donating billions [View all]niyad
(113,771 posts)89. I am well aware that that book says nothing about abortion. That, however,
does not stop the misogynistic, patriarchal haters from using it to justify their determined attempts to control women. Please enlighten me as to which other religions or belief systems in this country have large segments that are attempting the takeover of our entire political and secular structures and making them over in the name of an ancient book. I don't see a lot of pushback from the major denominations about what is being done in their names. If I have missed it, would you be so kind as to provide links?
You might want to read, "When God Was A Woman", by Merlin Stone, for the political reference.

I blame it on the excess of privilege that he's been swimming in his whole life.

His whining about MacKenzie Scott & very wealthy ex wives seemed a passive/aggressive swipe

Doesn't Elon have anything more intelligent to do, like maybe pick his nose?

Well define yourself a little more ELON. We know your NAZI preferences. Grimes made a good choice. n/t

Musk needs to do a Howard Hughes and sequester himself in a hotel for a few years.
