So… can we start a network that blocks all Jesus-centric, Christian junk? Nope, I’m sure they would call discrimination or some other hypocritical reason 🙃
This is my favorite type of Christian hate because all it does is hurt/inconvenience Christians.
*and their kids.
Why do they need that? Aren’t they morally superior and stronger to non-christians?
Quit spiritually attacking them.
Can’t they cast shield of the Lord?

If you have to self-police like that, your followers don’t believe in the morals you preach.
Reminds me of being asked how I keep from murdering and raping people, since I do not believe in an eternal damnation.
What do you mean being a good person is its own reward?!?
scary people, if religion is only thing that keeps them from doing that, which that question implies.
How do you hold back the nonstop compulsion to commit horrible crimes which we all feel constantly??
I do only the crimes that my dear friend Mr fibbles the sockpuppet has approved.
Ah, ol’ Mr. Crusty.
I think this network will primarily be used by parents to keep their kids from being tempted into sin or discovering that queer people exist
They’re gonna be shocked to find out that Jesus shared his body with 12 other men.
One of which spent an awful lot of time literally cuddling Jesus.
Kissing Jesus on the cheek is totally not gay my dudes! In face, if you wanna kill people who are like Jesus, just kiss em on the cheek! That’ll show the police officers that you’re an American born cisgender hetero white dude who is totally not gay and will send Trump haters to die./s
That one kid during communion “is this part of Jesus’ penis?”.
or discovering that queer people exist
So they’ll never know that people of the same sex fuck each other and continue to perpetuate hate towards them. Now that is sin.
Except for some who just cheat with people of their own gender and live in extreme guilt wondering why they keep doing it.
I remember one of the most religious guys in town bringing in his two week old vcr on a monday. Angrily shouting he wanted to watch a video yesterday after church when the tape got stuck after one minute.
We fixed the vcr and where curiouse… As suspected : porn!
If you have to self police like that, you might have a gay porn problem.
If history is any indicator … lol
and transgender porn too, they more than likely being so repressed they are in the deviant kinks. american dads stan was so repressed sexually conservative he went all out on the kinks when he was encouraged to "expand his horizons.
Bet you anything a lot of people using it will be parents forcing their kids to
Nah, if I have kids (once the economy allows me to do so without being on the verge of bankruptcy), I’m giving them a Karri Messenger 1 to start out with, then the Messenger 2: https://karri.io/collections/all
Then when they’re older: Light Phone: https://www.thelightphone.com/
If they absolutely need a phone like the other kids, or when they’re 16-18, they’re getting a phone with GrapheneOS on it.
Which is precisely why this will fail. Christians don’t actually believe anything they preach. They just want to be seen as pious, and a phone carrier doesn’t give them a visible virtue signal.
they drink thier own koolaid, they do believe what they preach, but they are taught to believe that thier wayis the right way. much like how the"goualds in sg1 believe thier own BS, besides BAAL.
Why take personal accountability for one’s morals when you can offload it to a paid service?
The thought is it is the sick that need a doctor
I’m not certain that spending time on networks that are “void of lgbt, void of the trans” is the doctor that these people need to cure them of their transphobia and homophobia.
People not like me are evil! Being constantly hateful about nature … their “god’s” own invention. How blasphemous.
Right, but their mentality is that it is a disease. Also I think the saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” applies here.
Their mentality is wrong, and being lgbt neither needs preventing nor curing.
Thank you
I never said it was right, it’s just thier mentality
Medical experts have come around to homosexuality not being a disease since the 70’s (in USA) so I’d hope the mentality you speak of is diminished now.
By repeating those claims you are perpetuating those harms, regardless of what you “really believe.”
No.
It’s good to understand why people, even those with whom we disagree, are making the decisions they are making.
I’m sure you would rather those who disagree with you seek to understand why you make the choices you do etc.
I’m a firm believer in know your enemy
And Jesus says literally everyone is sick and the only cure is to embrace selfless love for all. So why are they pretending they can fix it with draconian authoritarian dipshittery?
Oh, right, it’s because they don’t care about Christ, they’re just leaning on the social leverage provided by espousing a Christian identity. My mistake.
draconian authoritarian dipshittery
So long as it is voluntary, I’m alright with it. Let people choose what’s best for themselves. If it attempts to get codified into law, that’s a different matter.
Is it voluntary? How voluntary? Is it voluntary like, something a random stranger might decide is best for them, or voluntary like someone was raised by an abusive religious family so this seems normal to them despite science proving it wrong? Voluntary like someone convinced them they’d go to eternal damnation if they didn’t go along with it?
Voluntary as in I can choose a different mobile operator.
You can, but can everyone? We’re talking about a demographic that only exists because they’re hypocrites who enforce their religion of peace through violence at every level of society. I don’t care if you think they have a choice because I already know how they feel like they have no other choice at all, because of the forces which shaped their worldview.
There’s nothing voluntary about it for the target audience, and that’s the only reason it could ever possibly succeed.
can everyone?
That’s a different question with all the laws passed since 9/11 revolving around random people being able to easily get a phone with no ID, no bank account, etc like they are going to the store to get a gallon of milk. The patriot act can die in a fire. If you want to affect change to make smuggling an unrestricted phone to someone in a cult, the patriot act has to go.
And weekly affirmation that what their ingesting is real. You may have a point.
Freud would give you a long diatribe about the distinction between Id, Ego, and Superego.
You can believe a thing is wrong and still do it. Ask any smoker. You can do a thing and wrestle with the psychological consequences afterwards. Ask anyone who has ever felt guilty. You can plan to behave a certain way and become derailed by impulses or anxiety. Ask anyone who has ever succumbed to fear or pain.
Self-policing is a logical response to an illogical/immoral impulse. Tossing cookies out of the cabinet and ice cream out of the fridge is the first step towards dieting. Cancelling your credit card is a technique to curb impulsive spending. How is this any different?
Freud would
Can we please not. I don’t bring up hylomorphism when I talk about physics, so can you please give psychology a similar dignity by treating it like an actual science?
I don’t bring up hylomorphism when I talk about physics
Psychology isn’t a question of physics. The complex machine that is the human brain isn’t some single-action lever with a discrete well-defined input/output relationship. Neither is the human brain some binary circuit governed by logic gates and trivially deterministic sequences.
At some point, you have to approach psychology experimentally. You can’t just wave your hands and assume you know how the black box of the mind is going to work. And you can’t dismiss the accumulated experimental data because you don’t like the person who spearheaded its compilation.
And you can’t dismiss the accumulated experimental data
I don’t. I actually read psychology meta-analyses about accumulated experimental data, and relatively few individual papers are using terms like “superego” (and I can find two meta-analyses, one of which is just describing psychoanalysis). Even then, it’s within a modern framework of psychoanalysis which has evolved over 100 years, not regurgitating what they think “Freud would say”. You’re citing Freud specifically by literally saying “here’s what Freud would say”, so don’t strawman me by pretending I’m anti-experimental data or whatever the fuck.
Psychology isn’t a question of physics.
I’m not saying it is; it’s an emergent phenomenon in a chain thereof. I’m saying it is a science that deserves to actually be taken seriously, not mired in “here’s what someone who barely understood the field as we understand it today would’ve said” like that holds literally any weight about why people behave the way they do.
Your vibrations in the ether seem distressed my friend. A nice warm cup of tea will help re-balance your humours.
God. Damn. It. A cup of tea sounds really refreshing right now, and I’m going to have one. Stupid science bitches finally made I more smarter.
I’m saying it is a science that deserves to actually be taken seriously
If you’re dismissing the scientific method, you’re not taking science seriously.
good. now fuck off of the regular internet and leave the rest of us in peace.
hm, a phone for conservative christian men that DOESN’T support Grindr? i give it 6 months
watching porn on a phone? disgusting !
I mean … why use a 6" phone display while my PC has two 26" monitors
I’d be so afraid of accidentally texting porn to someone.
Pfft amateur. I only watch porn on my 60 inch TV as loud as possible.
Now look what you made me do (read buy)
I don’t think corporate is going to be happy with me dragging in two 26" monitors
Which is supremely funny, because the religious states always have the highest porn consumption. Which I guess means they wont get many customers.
Why would they have to block anything? Surely a real Christian wouldn’t be interested in any of that in the first place!
Yes but the devil plays weird tricks so they may be tempted by those.
I like how it’s always Satan playing tricks.
Why isn’t it their god just making sure they’re worth getting into the afterlife?
It gets so so much worse once you unpack this.
Consider these two points:
- God is omnipotent, i.e. He can create or destroy or do anything He wants.
- God is omniscient, i.e. He knows what happened, happens and will happen, and everything about the world He created.
With the powers He has, He:
- Intentionally created humans that would fall for apple trick (as an omniscient being, He knew in advance they will)
- Intentionally created Satan to set the scene
- Dramatically exiled humans from heavens as if it’s their fault (knowing full well it’s His work, not theirs)
So, instead of just making a swarm of loyal creatures, he decided to be playful and make those creatures eternally ashamed of themselves, struggling to earn His approval even when He actively made their lives miserable through cataclysms, genocides, and all sorts of calamities.
He’s literally a celestial “why are you hitting yourself?” bully, expecting to bully billions of people into servitude.
It makes more sense from the Gnostic mythological perspective. When you frame the Old Testament God as a Trump-type character who ignorantly claims to be all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful, and the only God, because he really doesn’t know any better, then the behavior you see in the Old Testament kind of tracks.
Fair enough
A lot of the Christian god seems to be very human for being a “higher power.”
And if gayness is wrong, why did he make his creatures (non-human) participate in it? Homosexuality has been documented in thousands of species around the globe.
Because only humans are intentionally and thoroughly engineered after the God himself, the rest is decorations and game, obviously.
do not ask why God has urine and semen coming from the same place, where did He take inspiration for a woman and why the hell did He create periods, or a million other curious questions
Because it literally makes zero sense
Christian fundamentalists would prefer to ban a lot of things for everyone. Since they cannot do that, they resort to the next best thing, which is to ban them for their own crowd. But the main objective is to have every device be like that. If this phone network establishes itself in the long run, it will be a big L for all of us.
There is gonna be so much gay porn and CP moving around that service I would bet.
That’s one of the scary things about all this “age verification” bs. Not only is it just mass surveillance, but in “protecting minors” from “adult content” those of us who identify as LGBTQ are labelled as adult content just for existing by these fundamentalists. Entire swaths of people will be banned just for existing, especially once Palantir gets as much data as possible and flags IDs and faces as LGBTQ dissidents.
I swear my phone is already bugged
Grindr pre-installed though, right?
Ima just leave this here, but that boi was well hung!
Nothing more Christian than hating a group of people. Jesus, famous for all the hate he had.
Yes, PLEASE self-segregate yourself!
