    As an antitheist, I’m fine with religion, as long as it’s only ever inflicted upon those who have made an individual conscious, non-coercive choice to be subjected to its doctrine.

    The moment it’s used to justify inflicting anything upon someone without their consent, it needs to be locked in an air-tight canister, with viewing windows, to serve as entertainment, and a warning to other vacuous ideologies.

    yeah, caring about others is VERY anti-christ. Jesus would never ever care about others.

    What page of the Bible does it say to treat people like shit and force your religion on everyone?

      I think its a twisted reading of the book of Matthew, which says:

      If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

      -Matthew 5:29

      So, if the LGBTQ+ people cause them to stumble, they’ll cut them down. This is compounded by Leviticus (old testament verse they REALLY care about), which says:

      If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

      -Leviticus 20:13

    I’m just waiting for the day they declare that us Episcopalians and our Methodist, Lutheran, and Presbyterian that support of LGBTQ+ folks are heretics and round us up.

    No one expects the MAGA Inquisition!

    Does anyone remember the New Testament verse where Jesus tells the gay people to all fuck off and that his followers should persecute them? All I remember is him clearly saying to ‘love thy neighbors’ a lot - pretty gay tbh.

    I did read the bible many decades ago, can’t remember any such verses - will admit it was a total snooze fest though, so I might’ve missed it or forgotten.

      Their interpretation of the Bible is just as valid as anybody else’s.

      Edit: Oof, I must have upset the hardcore Christians. Why else would you downvote this comment?

        Correct. And that validity is “zero” or “none.”

        It’s a book of fables that enables evil people to do evil. No need to comment back, you can’t change my mind on this.

          In all seriousness, what did you actually think I meant by my comment? We are basically saying the same thing. But somehow you act like you’re disagreeing with my comment.

        I didn’t downvote you, but no… Not really. And people are probably downvoting you just because you’re wrong.

        Like if someone said their interpretation of the bible is ‘that we should all trebuchet kittens at the sun during eclipses’ they would be treated as idiots - because that claim has no backing.

        Its a book full of fables, correspondence, parables, and accounts of history. It’s not written to be highly interpretive - it’s written to be proscriptive. That some people twist its wording for their own political or ideological interpretations is something that should always be called out - if they’re claiming to be followers of Jesus and their core religious text contradicts them - that’s ridiculous, and it’s pathetic that a lot of people go along with it unchallenged.

        P.s. not Christian BTW.

          I think you and I are in agreement about the end result. Fact is, people can and do validate their shitty beliefs using the Bible all the time. Just because your opinion is that they are wrong doesn’t change reality.

          When your foundation is built on fairy tales, anything goes.

      … they use a similar logic. First we accept this lifestyle? Then we require it? Before you know it, we will depopulate ourselves into an extinction.

      Here’s what the article says:

      Among its findings, the report targets a 2024 rule which required foster care providers who wanted to receive designated placement status for caring for LGBTQ+ children to receive training on the needs of LGBTQ+ youth, help queer kids access to age-appropriate healthcare resources, and “commit to establishing an environment that supports the child’s LGBTQI+ status or identity.

      As impactful and significant as these programs seem, revoking them doesn’t sound like a Holocaust in the making. Are gay children so different from straight children that their care requires a training program?

          It just seems like the policies being revoked are more virtue signaling than anything else. Both parties are virtue signalling. It’s meaningless rhetoric; nothing was achieved.

          You know what would be awesome for the gay community? Free healthcare, legal pot, a well-funded Social Security system. They benefit from the same things that benefit everyone else.
