“Normal” people aren’t bigots who go around saying that companies who dare to acknowledge the basic fact gay or trans people exist in the world, as ‘Sexual immortality getting shoved down our throats’.
It’s hateful religious crap like you are spreading right now that gets shoved down our throats more than anything else, that’s the real bullshit right there.
God is not real, and even if he was he would be a real asshole that I would have no interest in listening to. Your idea of morality is nonsense and irrelevant, not to mention disgusting. You are a hypocrite, too, rejecting everything that your supposed savior preached.
If Jesus was real, I sure hope he wouldn't love you.
No hate so pure as Christian love.
Hahaha this motherfucker believes in “demons”. What an idiot!
jesus was actually gay and there's proof throughout the new testament.
oh damn i forgot, i also received a divine revelation about it. god was pretty chill about the whole thing.
Jesus also had long hair, a very feminine trait according to the right!
Also for those of you downvoting the comment above me, I am almost certain that it was a joke. Mine however wasn't, just adds to the funni
2 of the downvotes are almost for sure the 2 nazis in the thread. the third is probably just bc it wasn't funny lmao
you have literally done naziism in this very thread. fuck off and rot you murderous piece of shit.
Can you relax? Having your beliefs is one thing, but equating gay people to thieves and murderers is another. Most people from the time they are born have had their sexual attractions set in stone. Most men are attracted to women and vice versa. It is literally the same way for gay people.
Some people start feeling attraction at a very young age. It may not be sexual but the attraction is there. I'm a straight man and I've literally found girls to be beautiful for as long as I can remember.
You were being influenced by social norms long before you were old enough to form memories, and likewise not being aware of societal expectations does not mean it is not happening or does not have an effect.
I had my first real crush on a celebrity with sexual feelings associated when I was 8 or 9 years old. I've heard similar stories from others first hand. It's normal.
Nobody mentioned children and sexuality in the same sentence until you did.
Most people are born with teeth. That doesn’t mean that babies have teeth, nor that kids have adult teeth.
Ignoring the religious elements, this is factually incorrect. Nobody likes to talk about it, but it's common for pre-pubescent girls to masturbate. George Carlin even had a bit about it!
Now, that's generally not talked about for good reasons--we don't want to rile up the pedophiles, and we don't want to rile up the people who are so aggressively religious that they can't acknowledge biology. But the fact of the matter is that people don't become sexual the instant they reach their country's age of consent or the instant they get married.
There's nothing wrong with you disliking those facts, but they are what they are.
I do not. I didn't mention puberty and neither did you.
im glad people like you are becoming increasingly marginalized
you realize that most people in the world aren't christian, and would take issue with your particular world view?
they have a different faith than you. and you have no real justification that your faith is more right than anyone else's- even if it's one of the larger ones.
and your faith certainly doesn't give you the right to terrorize anyone. or actually use violence, which is absolutely happening. Which is why people are saying you are being hateful. because your defending hate and violence and bigotry.
You're part of the reason your religion is dying, and I'm so glad to see it.
Who's more insecure: you, or your antiquated god with all your weird-ass rules you worship?
God isn’t real, you simpleton.
There definitely is a god, and she just spoke to me that you’re an asshole and you’re going to Tartarus when you die.
The only reason you're Christian (or say that you are) is because your parents are/were. Not because it's the Truth.
If there was a real Truth like you think there is, we wouldn't have over a billion Hindus who are also Hindus for no other reason other than THEIR parents were, nearly 2 billion muslims who are muslims for no other reason than THEY are. Etc.
Why should I believe YOUR weird stories are any more real than any of their weird stories? Or believe any of the ancient Greeks who believed to the point of their lives that their weird stories were also true, etc? They all are just as convinced they're right as you, why shouldn't I believe them or anyone else instead?
Even within all the modern Christian sects - let alone all the historical ones - you can't get your stories straight. Why should I believe any one of them over another?
