Gotta call this one inaccurate. The Bible says some shit about false gods and whatnot.
Gotta call this one inaccurate. The Bible tells YOU not to have false gods, it doesn't say you should hate other religions. I'd argue that the parable of the good samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 actually argues the exact opposite: "Love your neighbor as yourself" no matter who that person is
Also "some shit": Colossians 3:8 "But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth."
Why isn't the "no matter who that person is" part in quotes? What if they're a witch?
I'm not really gonna bother reading the Bible any more just to argue about all this. I don't really care. There's some real fuckshit in there.
It really seems like you have no idea about the topic at hand. So I don't get why you argued in the first place tbh.
My dude, I made the state finals for Bible quizzing in Ohio.
You got dat skibidi ohio rizz, my dude.
Edit: that’s not a compliment
God I wish conservatives were as persecuted and marginalized as they claim they are
If you could read the room, you'd think they were.
And they rightly fucking deserve it.
If you house the fascists and bigots, you become a house of fascists and bigots. It doesn't matter what the individual believes if they continue to give audience to those people. They become indistinguishable from them.
And when you're just a normal straight person who gets the willies when gay people hit on you, fuck you right?
Normal straight dude here. I've been hit on by a gay guy before. I explained the situation like an adult. All was good, no willies of any kind were had.
No "hey let's split rent and I'll get you all these free drugs" before eventually they come out with their expectations? Congrats. You don't wanna be there. You especially don't wanna share a jail cell with a dude who got himself moved in because you helped him with a phone call once and eventually he scratches the hell out of your glasses while you're in the shower because you turned him down.
Sorry for the run on sentences. I'm typing in the bathroom at work.
You bartered for drugs and were then surprised that this individual wasn't completely honest?
I didn't barter. They were pretty well framed as gifts.
It's the "drugs" part, dude.
Look, I smoke weed in an illegal state. I don't invite my plugs to my house, and I sure as hell don't agree to split rent with them.
You should talk to a woman sometime. They’ve dealt with getting the willies from “normal straight men” hitting on them since time immemorial.
It's not so bad when it's just hitting on me, but it's been so so much worse than that.
Ho-leee fuck bud, you have lost the plot
Whatever that means.
It means your whining about some gay guys acting inappropriately towards you
-
doesn't somehow justify saying absolutely vile homophobic shit like "normal straight people get the willies when gay guys hit on them",
-
does not somehow justify homophobia in general nor its conservative apologists and therefore
-
is incredibly tone deaf in this precise context.
First of all, I'm gonna call bullshit on people hitting on you. Hateful attitudes aren't attractive.
Second of all, if a gay person hits on me, I'd be surprised and flattered, and politely turn them down.
Third (and more comedically), as a straight man, I would try NOT to get the willies, because I am not attracted to willies.
That’s not normal.
Normal straight dude here. I can't tell you how crazy often I have gay dudes creeping their way into my life just to eventually say they're trying to get in my pants.
I have a theory that the reason you “can’t tell” how often it happens is because it isn’t happening at all. It’s clear you’re just a troll looking for attention. I hope you are able to find some happiness in life so you can stop being so obsessed.
Ah yeah, classic "discredit people who's experiences don't align with your motivations". Real big of you. You don't know SHIT. Holy goddamn victim blaming.
lol ok bud. It’s obvious just looking at your comment history that you’re a just an attention seeker. I guess I’ll stop engaging with you and block you.
Btw everyone it’s super easy to block people on lemmy. I highly recommend it for people like this.
Oh no you know what it feels like yo be a woman for 5 minutes, the horror
5 minutes? Try my whole goddamn life, and if it's too bad for you it's too bad for me. Otherwise go fuck yourself and your crocodile sentiment. The problem isn't men. The problem is creeps.
Do you genuinely not realize how incredibly oblivious and tone deaf you’re being here? It’s actually kind of darkly magnificent to observe.
You're all sitting in here literally gaslighting me because your experience is not the same as mine. I don't care about your groupthink bullshit or if the crowd isn't happy that my bad experiences don't paint the homophobes as evil.
You clearly got some kinda messed up toxic shit going on.
Not to mention, you’re trying to use your personal anecdotal experiences to justify and/or downplay prejudice against entire categories of humans - here, homosexual people, but in other comments in this thread, you’re categorically dismissing the fact that in comparison to what women have had to deal with since the dawn of society, youre basically just having a Tuesday.
So yeah - I’m hostile to your worldview because your worldview is deeply caustic and offensive, and you’re using it to justify prejudice. You’re just being a fragile, egotistical, prejudicial snowflake.
You're blind to your own prejudice and you think defense of those you're prejudiced against is hate. Step out of yourself.
