This isn’t the gotcha you think it is. The stance of serious Christian theologians on homosexuality is nothing like the WBC stance.
Homosexuality in the Christian theological tradition is essentially seen as a disability. Premarital sex is equally forbidden to everyone. But because of what the Bible says, homosexuals have no access the holy mystery of marriage. Therefore they must remain chaste.
As for transgender individuals, the stances of some large churches might surprise you. The Serbian Orthodox Church for instance accepts transgender individuals.
I’m not religious and these aren’t my personal views. Just saying that it’s a bit more complicated than “god hates f*gs.”
What does god have against figs?
they know what they did
Wasps
They kill so many pollinators that pretty much no one should eat them. And definitely no vegan should eat them.
Religion is a cancer on society that festers in the ignorant and afraid.
Enlightened by our own intelligence, aren’t we?
Feel like you’re in the wrong community to try to make that derogative joke.
Oh, please. Derogative. Get a sense of humor. That meme came from the atheist community, as a revelation to Aalewis, who wasn’t even a professional quote maker but was nevertheless enlightened by his own intelligence and not by some phony God’s blessing. We can all learn from his example, and attain a sense of euphoria in this moment.
Not sure I’m getting you
It’s an old anti atheist meme regarding neckbeards and incels
He was giving a historically accurate explanation, and you answered with an off-topic comment that we’ve read a billion times.
It appears it may take a billion more.
Edit: It also appears comments have been deleted and now mine’s hanging on the wrong one. So FYI religion is a cancer
Evangelists are very fond of “love the sinner, hate the sin”. They have convinced themselves that open discrimination is “for their own good.”
Except they don’t even do that. Or they just equate the sinner as sin.
And yet, if god were real, and if god truly loved lgbtq, wouldn’t he maybe say something to his assholish followers? Like, I dunno. If I had a friend and some of my employees started mocking them, discriminating against them and generally being assholes, I’d fire their ass immediately.
We don’t see that. Either god’s not real, god’s impotent, or he hates lgbtq. I’m gonna fall into the first two- he’s impotent because he’s not real.
Even disregarding all of this, if I put myself for a short minute in the shoes of a religious person, I’m sure I could rationalize this by saying: “well, imagine a father who has an alcoholic son”, and so on. Of course there are plenty of things you could say to that, but by then you’re on the third comment down, and no one is going to read it.
read the book, God’s a pretty hateful fella
No you see because [insert really banal and contradictory nonsense about old testament vs new testament while being careful to never reject the Old testament entirely in case God gets all smitey]
Please don’t use this physically and sexually abusive piece of shit in memes. Even if you’re making him say things he would never say. He doesn’t deserve the attention.
I am out of the loop here, what did this guy do? I just know the meme format.
That’s a lof yikes for 2 articles, I did not know Crowder but now…well thanks for the links. That was heplful
There is no god out there.
Making Steven Crowder say “leftist” things is my jam.
Steven Crowther
You probably mean Steven Crowder, but that also works.
Yes, exactly. I don’t care enough to remember exactly what his name is.
You are thinking of new testament Jesus. Old testament god will destroy your crops, fuck your best friend then damn you for letting him do it.
But he loves you.
This meme template may be better.
“He loves you, just not your choices”
I know when I love someone I can’t wait to send them to a pit of eternal torment the moment they do anything I don’t like!
This is straight out of the New Testament
God isn’t so awesome in the NT. Jesus and Paul are going around condemning people to hell and we are told that God will chain a women to her bed, men will rape her, and all her kids born of rape will die. Jesus himself creates a parable of a king (where spoiler he is the king) who will one day demand that the bodies of all those oppose him will be cast in front of him.
As bad as the OT god was he didn’t sentence anyone to hell or tell people that there would be oceans of human blood one day.
God does love LBGTQ people.
Prove it. All evidence (as provided by his beliebers) is to the contrary.
“everyone has their cross to bear”
