âAmericaâs only Christian conservative wireless provider and our mission is to passionately defend our God-given Constitutional rights and freedoms while glorifying God.â
How are they making this mission? Do they block sites? Or itâs just a way to scam people with shitty services and high price? Both?
We have something similar here, they just scam but not block

IDK, but as a Christian who is passionate about both my Constitutional rights and glorifying God, Iâm not touching this service with a 10â pole. In fact, I actively avoid any service where religion is mixed into the advertising, itâs manipulative and gross. In fact, I think it goes against what Jesus taught:
Take heed to your alms, that you do not give in the sight of men with the intent to be seen by them, or you will receive no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 6:1
Yeah, this isnât quite the same, but the point seems to be to not make a big spectacle of being devout, but to be humble and keep your attention on God, not on others seeing your attention on God.
And then thereâs the âgive unto Caesar that which is Caesarâs, and give unto God that which is Godâs.â I donât think a God wants a mobile carrier, he wants charitable, humble hearts.
So no, screw this service and anyone who thinks this is a good idea. If you provide a service, provide the best service you can. If you buy a service, buy a service that meets your needs the best. And if you want to worship God, do it in private, and donât shout your piety from the rooftops.

There are more than you might think, just not the loud ones that give everyone else a bad name.
Edit: Note that this is true for almost every group. The stereotypes from people outside the group will almost always represent the worst of that group, because humans have a tendency to overemphasize and overrepresent negativity.
A completely benign example: convincing my friend to watch Doctor Who was difficult because his perception of the fan base was that they were obnoxious and obsessed with how hot David Tennant is. WhichâŚI mean, look at the man. But also, no, the loudest part of the fan base isnât representative of the show.
They're trying to co-opt the US Constitution as a religious text.

I donât agree with these religious nuts but, in this case, I donât think theyâre completely off base regarding âGod given rightsâ. The Declaration of Independence (not the Constitution) says:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by theirCreatorwith certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
I wish the Declaration didnât include âby their Creatorâ but it does.

The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson, a deist, who also produced the Jefferson Bible, created by literally cutting out all the mystical woo from the New Testament and pasting the remainder onto pages.
I can say with some confidence that nobody considered either the Declaration or Constitution as "religious" at the time.

Every once in awhile it crosses my mind that if I just gave up my morals I could make so much fucking money.
The difference between me being a middle-class American and me being filthy fucking rich is every day I wake up and I choose not to defraud every single person I possibly can of their money.
I feel like I should get a little thank you now and again, because I could be the greatest monster you've ever seen but instead I'm just a nobody and I don't think I get nearly enough appreciation for my service.

Because religious conservatives are the easiest people to grift. Slap the word god or Jesus on something and theyâll flock to it.
Just look at their description. Â âAmericaâs only Christian conservative wireless provider and our mission is to passionately defend our God-given Constitutional rights and freedoms while glorifying God.â
Cell phone providers and cell service has literally nothing to do with religion or defending rights and freedoms yet they throw that shit in because Christian conservatives are morons and it will get them to buy.
Chances are the creator of the company isnât even religious at all.

This shit is so funny to me. The side of the political aisle that speaks entirely with memes and wears bright red hats to identify one another thinks the left is virtue signalling every time they step foot in public because of a rainbow pin or something.
Kinda like how they wonât leave home without their guns, but accuse the left of âliving life in fearâ because we wore masks in public during the Pandemic.
I think hypocrisy is an official party platform at this point.

The biggest irony is, even as PM claims that none of their money goes to âwokeâ, PM is a MVNO, which means it merely resells services from a âwokeâ big mobile company (I think itâs T-Mobile in this case). So indirectly PM funnels money to T-Mobile, which then might donate some money to âwokeâ non-profits.

Theyâre not even a âcarrierâ, per se - just an MVNO reselling ATT and TMO. So a large chunk of the money goes back to the real carriers, i.e., the companies that conservatives are overpaying to avoid supporting.

The funnier thing is, there arenât any âPatriot Mobileâ cell towers or data centers, basically theyâre a racism-themed Cricket Mobile or TracFone, where they rent bandwidth from one of the big three (AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile these days if I understand correctly) but theyâre their own retail/customer service setup.
