christians and homophobia

look this doesn’t apply for all christians AT ALL but some of us be slandering gay people with the bible as if the bible literally doesn’t tell us to:

-love everyone (matthew 5:44, john 13:34-35, 1 peter 2:17, 1 peter 4:8)

-it’s not our place to judge people (john 8:7, matthew 7:1, john 8:15, 1 corinthians 4:5)

-we’ve all sinned (romans 3:23, psalm 106:6)

honorable mentions include

-do not kick a relative (especially your child) out for ANY reason (1 timothy 5:8)

-all sins are forgiven (mark 3:28)

-the study about leviticus 18:22 being about pedophillia and not homosexuality due to an error in translation. there's a lot of debate about this, and so i’m not putting it as actual evidence, but it’s worth checking out.

-if some christians hate members of the LGBTQ+ community because they’re sinning, why don’t we hate liars like that? cheaters? divorcees? i’m not saying we should start, but if those sins aren’t being viewed as taboo, why are gay/trans people any different?

i’m bisexual. i’m also christian. i see both sides of this issue. but nowhere, and i mean nowhere in the bible does it encourage hate crimes, slander, and flat-out bullying towards gay people. and i don’t know very many christians who could endorse it while sticking to the word of God. it’s contradictory, babes.

Though it's a little late, I wish everyone a Happy New Year! I hope we all find more moments to breathe and be peaceful to our core, to find a tiny bit more patience than we feel we can muster and smile rather than yell, even though it is SO difficult not to do sometimes. I hope, especially when we see so much not going well, we can breathe and use what we have in the space we have to promote kindness and understanding. It's often easier to be kind in our own bubbles, so I hope we all have the courage to start there in a renewed effort to make kindness more fashionable this year. to that end, I will continue my search for peace and calmness within myself so I can be a better promoter of it. To start off this year, I will strive to be 'Zen as Fox'. I painted this guy so I could hang him up as a daily reminder to be part of the peacefulness in the world I wish to see more of. I hope you enjoy him also! I truly wish you all an over abundance happiness and peaceful times for 2024!

Silent Eyes

Living in a time loop While the world falls to pieces The horrors of the past Repeating in the present While once again The world watches on And waits As we scream To save them And they scream Raging against the injustice Of power seeking power The world watches on And waits Until the screams are just loud enough To intervene and play the hero With the excuse It wasn’t bad enough Until that point so The world watches on And waits Did they not learn from the past Didn’t they know we could save them Stop the genocide in its tracks and Save the innocents But all that happens is The world watches And waits The horrors of the past Repeat in the present Screams echoing in the void While those in power Abuse their charge The world watches on And waits

Yet another shooting spree.

story on BBC news: X

we're always hearing how violence and mass shootings have worsened since covid, but you know what else happened during that time? Trump in the USA and the related rise of fascism everywhere

hate has thrived so much in recent years, and that's not the fault of a virus. it's much more attributable to how right-wing extremists have seized power and influence across the world

right-wing extremism (political, religious, and otherwise) breeds hate and greed, which flourishes in the rancid soil of fascism, and conservatism ignorantly fertilizes it all with their thought-waste. we need a return to intolerance of intolerance and hate

even more importantly, we need a return to human values - not religious ones, but putting empathy and the good of living things first

Do you ever get overwhelmed by how our current real world is absolutely and totally a genuine dystopian nightmare... but everyone just keeps acting like "ahhh, oh it's ok" cause it's just the new normal?

Having grown up around enough far right types, I can assure you they do not care about what happened to Pelosi’s husband, nor the attacker’s confirmed plan to brutally assassinate her. In fact, if pressed they’ll admit “it’s her fault, they/she deserved it” etc and excuse the violent piece of shit as just “frustrated with a fraudulent government”.

So this call for GOP to condemn it? Falling on deaf ears. They’re currently smirking and shrugging right now, if not even openly laughing and cheering behind closed doors together, and we all know it. They’d LOVE it if more of these things happened and the people opposing them all just fearfully gave up, and even stopped existing. They’re LOVING this real world violence, and they LOVE the idea of their perceived enemies dying at the hands of their cult.

It’s sickening, but it’s not at all shocking, at this point. I mean Trump and his Klan wanted his own VP to die on January 6th, yet Pence is still pushing the extremist agenda. Those people are beyond change, or redemption. But unlike those people, no one wants them to see any kind of a cruel or sadistic fate. People with any sense of reason or decency simply want them removed from positions of power, where they can no longer continue to incite violence and attempt to overthrow democracy and turn our nation into a fascist state. 

Get to the polls. 

Remove/reject these extremist lunatics. 

VOTE. 

All of our lives and freedoms LITERALLY depend on it.

Since Oct is Anti Bullying Month even adults get bullied. Hate at the gym. If there are no gym rules it’s a free for all do whatever you’d like. No rules to enforce to its members. Not surprised with the new crowd that comes here who also invites non-members to the gym. How can you have a safe environment for its other members? Hopefully it’s not happening elsewhere. This type of monkey business needs to stop. Gym manager acts like he cares but doesn’t.

Fun/stupid thought time

I don't like all of this random-ass pansy-parker transphobia going on right now, and I keep having this stupid ass thought about combating it

basically my thought is renting out a public venue, like a library or town hall. Call it something like "Educating yourself about gender and peoples' place in society" or something equally likely to make TERFs think it's going to buoy up their egos and fuel their hatred. Don't do anything to dissaude this notion.

if you can, let a local protest movement know what's going on - if TERFs see a pride protest this will help their belief.

Oh! Make sure that the venue understands your aim, no need for them to be caught in the crossfire. Make sure they're on board.

Ok, so "discussion" night comes, you have all these terfs in the room. First few slides talk about physical sex

then have a little quiz, a whole bunch of different animals, let them confirm they can tell a boy from a girl

Bring XY XX into it

bring a chicken into it, ask them if it's XX or XY

hit them with the ZW

but still "male and female" chickens right?

time for more birds.

Sparrows, male and female? ducks, male and female. Now for... Ruffs

Who here knows what a faeder male is?

Angler fish :]

how about what bees do?

introduce the Universal Public Friend

The doors are locked. There's no escape now

Just wait until you get to the section on mushroom genders

I saw two dogs today. First was a big white dog with no owner. He walked passed me and didn’t care. Then, a black dog walked by. Nothing happened. But if you notice, they were both dogs. The color of their fur didn’t matter and didn’t change the story in any way.

Why can’t humans do this. Why must we judge people based off of skin and appearance.

idk y’all should treat fat men better. and i don’t mean mildly chubby guys i mean honest-to-god love-handles-and-double-chins fat guys. stop calling them shit like discord mods or gross weebs or nasty creeps or neckbeards or that they’re stinky or sweaty or beer bellied or whatever else. fatphobia isn’t cute, even repackaged in a neat little box of “ew men”
