I wouldn't have a problem if people like that "obeyed Jesus" given that Jesus was a massive peace loving communist hippie.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I mean, "Obey hell!" and "Live hellfire!" do sound like some rad life mottos.

Probably the best song about being horny and condeming women for it

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hellfire sounds like a metal band I would see live, too.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 weeks ago

Sigh... Fine, I'll obey hell.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You are stealing? Right to hell. You are playing music too loud? Right to hell, right away. Driving too fast? Hell. Slow? Hell. You undercook fish? Believe it or not, hell. You overcook chicken? Hell. We have the best citizens because of hell.

Spread our gospel and hand over a percentage of your salary? Heaven.

I've never gone to pride (because I'm a straight guy); but ugh, sorry you all have to deal with that. Those folks were also the worst when I was going to UA.

Maybe Tim Walz weirdo approach is worth a shot. Make some big signs:

I JUST 
LIKE
BEING
😡
I AM
HERE
FOR BIG
SIGNS
MY SIGN
IS 
*BIGGER*
THAN YOURS

(I have no idea if that would actually be a good idea, but the idea amuses me)

Being a straight guy should not dissuade you from going to Pride events. It's fun!

[–] nick@midwest.social 7 points 2 weeks ago

I’m straight too! It’s a fun time.

My kids aren’t straight so I’m there to support them (and everyone else)

[–] Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 3 points 2 weeks ago

Well, thanks for the "invite"... :) I'll keep that in mind for future years

What's the point? Attention. These people need attention and this is the only way they can get it. They don't care if it's positive or negative. Do not engage or try to reason with them. Simply ignore them and go on about your business.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Religionheads like to ruin other people’s fun is all

[–] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

The ones that like fun are the ones you don't see because they are just living their own lives instead of messing with everyone else's

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Obeying hell is more fun

[–] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

Man that shit is cringe. I really don't understand how you can be that brainwashed.

[–] nick@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can’t even understand the guy, and he’s not going to change anyone’s mind at pride. So why even bother

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago

He’s virtue signaling his love for stochastic terrorism.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

If given the choice of following Jesus or hell, remember which has been the cause of more deaths. There were 5 crusades that killed hundreds of thousands and all of them were in the name of that childless carpenter or his dad.

Choose Peace.

When presented with 2 ideas on what is fun, one requires one seventh of your life to do no work. The other has ways that a person can live to their fullest and have a blast doing it.

Choose Fun.

The idea that good and bad are objective, immutable points is silly when the people who have all the money and privilege backtrack on their core value of care and understanding for their neighbors. Ethics and love are clearly not values involved in good or bad morality.

Choose Hell.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Stupid people get their values from mythological stories written by people who didn’t have science.

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Live Holy or Hellfire, is that what all the school shootings are all about??

We kind need for us to not be riddled with holes

@seahorse ah. Yeah, it's great that those guys feel so comfortable to come out of their closets yearly to tell us how to live. Good on them for getting some exercise and sun. /S

[–] nick@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

It’s a lovely day too. Way better than the last two years where it was in the 90s already

[–] seahorse@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wish I could make pride this year. Have other stuff going on unfortunately.

[–] nick@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Aww boo. I was looking for your flag. Maybe next year!

[–] nick@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Curious to see why this could possibly get downvotes.

Guess chodes are on lemmy too?
