Jokes on you. Rainbows aren't real, but my invisible friend with magic powers who threatens to torture me for eternity out of love is!

[–] PlantbasedChe@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

That was funny!

[–] Esjee@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Oh rainbows are very real my friend. Gay people aren't.

Did you see how they lost their goddamned minds when someone photoshopped Baphomet into Hobby Lobby pics?

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

It’s always projection.

They are desperate and know that they have to start young otherwise they’ll run out of uneducated followers.

I feel like if I were a Christian that sights like this would make me upset. On the one hand, artists should be compensated for their art and religion can be artistically inspirational, but this feels so commercialized it’s almost sad.

It always amuses me how uninspired most contemporary Christian music is. This is just as boring.

[–] paganini@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This reminds me of many moons ago, when I was a young man still in the chase. There was this girl I was really interested and one day we kind of clicked. She invited me to a concert of some small band I didn't know about, but I said "yeah, sure I will go with you!" (The mission always comes first!)

We get there and it's this small to medium sized stadium full of young people. She was sitting next to me and things were going generally well.

Lights turn off, the band enters the stage and starts playing some rock with metal overtones. I start to think "This can't be so bad..."

Well, famous last words. A few minutes after the band starts playing, the song takes a turn for the worse. The guitar mellows out, the band stops and the singer asks everybody in the fucking stadium to hold hands, close their eyes and pray with him... The lyrics changed to Jesus this, Jesus that and never came out of the rut. It was two hours of that.

Lord Almighty... If you indeed existed you would not have allowed something like that to happen...

If you can't make it as a regular musician, you can make it as a Christian musician.

99% of the music is stolen from secular sources and rehashed.

Like what they did in Sister Act. Except with boring old music.

You say that as if you think being Christians would make you more pious, moral, and humble. It's just like any other religion, a justification for pushing your own personal views and bigotry on others. Of course they are going sell their religion in the form of chachkies.

[–] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I couldn’t see myself as a once a week, hold hands and sing kind of believer. If I genuinely believed that I was following a god that had his teachings written up, surely it’d be my duty to study those, right? How could someone believe in an immortal soul and not actually care about where that belief came from?

So not that I’d become more ethical, but that I’d feel the pull to become more ethical, and that this picture would have a more personal response. I don’t think Christians are any more moral than anyone else, but I don’t understand the ones who simultaneously believe they follow the teachings of a man who drove out the moneylenders from his temple and whose eyes gloss over things like this without finding it distasteful.

[–] jecxjo@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Why would you find it distasteful when your god and religion follow YOUR biases and desires. Its not a coincidence that God hates the types of people conservatives hate. They mold their god to fit their view as justification for ignoring that their views are harmful. They dont see it as consumerism or capitalism, its all about shoving their views down others throats because everyone else are "evil".

They don't like rainbows, but they love ancient murder devices.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

"Oh... but that's different. Because the word of Jesus Christ (as if they'd ever bothered to actually read the Gospels) is The Truth™️ and The One True Way™️!"
Then they look at you as if you'd just asked something obviously, offensively stupid.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Craft stores are so depressing.

[–] SpringMango7379@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ah. The wonders of Hobby Lobby.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago
