It's the religion of peace, you see

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 35 points 1 year ago (3 children)

As if Christians in America aren’t trying to do the same.

Religion needs to be killed off already.

I grew up confused as fuck and full of self doubt that's to a quasi religious upbringing and falling into a religious "crowd" (why couldn't I just have done drugs like all the cool people).

religion can fuck off entirely. none of it is good except putting people down

Or those "religious" people could remember their own f***ing religion for once instead of hallucinating something they like more at the moment.

For example I'm pretty sure there's something in the bible about those evil rainbows...Oh, yeah:

"And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth."

I'm also pretty sure remembering my history lessons muslims up to 150 years ago accepted homosexuality as something completely natural and there's a lot of documented confusion why European christians at that time disagreed so heavily.

Seriousy... I'm no fan of religion. But it isn't even religion to be blamed here but morons using religion as a pretense even if they have to invent and add new things to their religions to do so.

People often complain about the Quran containing disturbing stuff, but it's not like the Bible doesn't.

Both suck, but this post is related to only one of them

In Malaysia, the fashion police will kill you.

We should bombard them with 20 megatons of gay swatches, make it rain.

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

Way to go, malaise-ya. You're making even American culture war nonsense look dignified by comparison.

Who is even wearing 6 different mono-colored watches at the same time just to make a point?

[–] Synthead@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 year ago

No see, you and all your friends wear a different color, and when you stick your hands together and proclaim your orientation, gay Captain Planet comes out

[–] Alto@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're not. Don't know where you got that idea from

[–] Sentrovasi@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get his point though - just wearing one of them really has no LGBT affiliation: it just looks like a monochromatic watch. Maybe it's that subversion that Malaysia is afraid of.

[–] frogfruit 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about the rainbow flag on them

[–] Sentrovasi@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I went on to read that it also has six colours as opposed to the seven on a "real" rainbow as well. I'm getting more educated every day.

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Apparently, there should have only been 6 colours in the rainbow in the first place. Newton allegedly added indigo because he believed that there should be 7 for occult reasons.

Ah, the religion of piss
