Please, ask god to stop priests and church leaders from molesting children. Thanks.
I asked, and he said “nah”
Surprised you even got an answer. That prick has been ghosting mankind for thousands of years!
Maybe god wants us to be gay so when the aliens come it won’t be weird.
Considering LGBTQ+ is a protected group in the USA, surely the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s comments are tantamount to criminal harassment if not hate motivated harassment.

As far as I understand, the US “Equality Act” fizzled out the last time it tried to make its way through the US parliament. That would codify LGBTQ+ protections into actual law in the US. The closest thing I can find is a Supreme Court ruling that LGBTQ protections are covered under the Civil Rights Act in Bostock v. Clayton County, but the Supreme Court is a fickle beast, and I doubt they would rule the same way today if it were challenged again.
We don’t have hate crimes. That’s not a concept that exists legally. As for harrassment, I don’t think it’d stand in court, and good luck suing the Speaker of the House
Christians make God sound like such a nice guy who totally deserves worship!
Maybe God is punishing us because we elect imbeciles.
This seems more likely to me
And as always the innocent suffer for it.
But then they get double rewards points in heaven.
To be fair if this is true this is kinda on us.
So the dude is a straight up lunatic? He belongs inside a fuckin insane asylum.
He’s attractive to a very specific voting demographic.
Fuck this guy so much.
uh, not a chance in his imaginary hell
You know what really pisses me off? When they say shit like “identifying” as lgbtq which sounds very close to “it’s a choice to be gay”.
If the above two statements are true (which they are not in context to this post) then being a straight white male is also a choice! There’s no double standard here!
Which logically, if it’s a choice either way then these straight white men are just as gay as everyone else, they’re just choosing to be straight!
The only reason I could imagine for someone to believe they choose their sexuality is if they’re in denial. “Of course every man wants to fuck another man, resisting that urge is a test of righteousness” is a common thought among religious homophobes.
Just Henry Cavill
I don’t see a need to bring race into this.
I was connotating towards the speaker of the house who is objectively a straight white male or so he claims.
It’s not so much race itself as it’s the privilege. Outside of literal royalty, there’s nobody more privileged than a rich and powerful conservative Christian cishet white man with good healthcare for free in the US.
The color of his skin doesn’t inherently make the Jericho Johnson a worse person, but it without question makes him more privileged, which makes him more of a hypocrite when he tries to play the victim.
But that’s at least partially my point. That’s discrimination, not all white people, not all straight people, not all men, are privileged and if you think that you’re reinforcing the same discrimation you’re supposedly against. Sure, there might be, proportionally, because of historical reasons/historical discrimination, more “straight white men” who are more privileged than most, but that’s more about politics and thinking that way you are already discriminating against people just for being born the skin color they’re born with, the sexuality and gender they’re born with which we all know we have no control over. And that’s fucked up.
If you really think there are no white or straight people or men that don’t have the same privileges as some piece of shit like this guy or even a bunch of minority people I really cannot trust you’re arguing in good faith. Class etc, privilege isn’t all about the color of your skin or sexuality. Things are more subjective and inidividual than that.
I agree it makes this turd of a human being more of a hypocrite and I don’t disagree with the comment I replied to entirely. I just don’t see why there is a need to discriminate against an entire group of people just for the way they’re born. I thought fighting against that very notion was the exact point.
e: Maybe I’m misunderstanding your point and possibly not explaining my point well (I am veeery tired), but anyway. Just because Mike Johnson is an asshole doesn’t mean people should paint an entire gender or race or anything as assholes is my point. I get that the OC is somewhat sarcastic, but still.
not all white people, not all straight people, not all men, are privileged
Maybe not compared to people who are all of those things plus rich and powerful, but compared to people who are none of those things? Yes, we fucking are!
You’re pretending that privilege is a binary where either you’re super privileged or you’re not privileged at all. That’s not how it works.
I’m a cishet white guy from a country with a high standard of living. That makes me privileged. Someone being those things and also rich and healthy would make them more privileged than me, but it doesn’t erase my privilege.
Aknowledging privilege, whether your own or that of someone else, isn’t discrimination, it’s honesty and awareness. Conversely, NOT acknowledging privilege except for extreme cases makes you blind to the realities of privilege, which may in turn lead to ACTUAL discrimination, whether conscious or unknowing l, when dealing with any situation where privilege plays a part l.
I’m not pretending anything and you’re putting words in my mouth I never said or intentionally misenterpreting my words and I’m done with this bad faith argument of yours.
I’m not Mike Johnson and acknowledging discrimination doesn’t make me privileged. You can discriminate all you want it doesn’t make it any less discrimination. Nor does it make discrimination against someone even if they might be privileged any less discrimination.
If you really think someone who just happens to have been born those things and gets the worst treatment than someone who, say is, POC and/or LGBTQ, who is better off than someone who is homeless for example you’re delusional and extremely discriminative. It largely concerns all of those things, but it’s not as bipolar as american identity politics makes it up to be, it’s more about class politics and politics essentially and way more subjective and individual than you’re making it out to be - which is exactly my point, not a single one of any gender, sexuality, class, anything is a fucking monolith you should discriminate against as one. But you’re free to downvote instead of discussing.
It largely concerns all of those things, but it’s not as bipolar as american identity politics makes it up to be
Then why are you continuing to argue that it IS bipolar? Why do you insist that white people aren’t privileged, even as you acknowledge that there are different levels of privilege and belonging to one privileged class doesn’t mean that you belong to them all and thus have ALL the privilege? It’s like you’re ALMOST getting it but then you refuse to take that last step because that would be admitting that you were wrong.
Fact: being white makes us privileged
Fact: that doesn’t mean that we necessarily abuse said privilege and as such, being white doesn’t in itself make us bad people
Fact: neither of the above statements of fact are in any way discriminatory and if you STILL don’t understand that, there’s no doubt left that you’re incapable of understanding either through stubbornness or reflexive defensiveness against an imagined accusation that nobody is making.
Then why are you continuing to argue that it IS bipolar?
Learn to read. I’m done. You made your point and I respectfully disagree, you suit yourself and keep pretending treating someone based on their skin color, sexuality or race isn’t discrimination isn’t discrimination. Either you don’t know what the word means or you’re so privileged you’re blind to the fact.
Ok, I need some context. What straight here means? I can guess it does not mean having good aim in FPS or being tech literate.
Guy liking girl, girl liking guy.
Interesting how many meanings one word can have
Imagine giving an entire species free will to do whatever they want, then getting pissed off because of how a % of that species decides to find pleasure and get into relationships, and then collectively punishing a specific geographical region based on that small %.
But wait, create people with those tendencies and even though you are all knowing all seeing and infallible, you were wrong in creating them??
“God made me gay. Who are you to question his wisdom?”
Also those same Americans who think that go off their nuts if you suggest America isn’t the greatest place on earth. Seems like, for all the gayness, it’s doing fine* and yet basically any country that has rules against being gay is also in a range of pretty shitty states.
*America is not doing fine, but largely in the same way a lot of places aren’t under capitalism.
At the risk of sounding like an edgy reddit atheist…
God isn’t real, and most of those teens don’t believe in him as there is no evidence such a thing exists.
And quite a lot of evidence he doesn’t.
There’s more evidence Santa exists than god.

That is not evidence against the existence of God. Hell the Catholic Church has officially denounced Creationism.
Why am I being devoted, the existence of God and the truth of evolution are not incompatible and only fundementalist extremist groups claim otherwise.

Exactly, maybe you should review the conversation. I didn’t ask for proof of God’s non-existence until someone claimed to have it. I asked for it to be presented as I found evidence of a negative to be an absurd premise. and I wanted to know where they were going with that.

Lucky one. Other gods are forgotten.

Such a negative human being.
Multiply by i to make it imaginary. If you want, you can multiply by i again and make it positive.
Someone found dad’s yiff stash and really pissed him off
Well it would be his own son who found it because they are browser activity accountability buddies
Precisely
That’s really fucking weird man. What man cares that much about his own grown sons porn viewing habits. The level of control this freak feels entitled to is wild.
100%, but the weird part is having his son do the same for him. Even if he never watches porn it’s just gross

Mike Johnson: “Look it’s not my fault that I’m making this country shitty, it is those pesky LGBTQ+ people.”
This is the problem, like I’m fine if he was really going to let God do the punishing, but they all wanna take his job
So where in his Scooby Doo story do we pull off his mask and reveal the raging homosexual that he is…not that there’s anything wrong with that….just wanna see the hypocrisy on full display
Not all bigots are secretly gay. Some are just hate filled assholes. Most are hate filled assholes.
$20 says he likes weiner
That’s right out of the Nazi playbook. These people, when cornered, will simply recite Bible versus at you as the reason for their malice.
It’s not inappropriate, I guess… The Bible is full of some pretty horrible and malicious things masked as righteousness.
I’m not concerned the wrath of a fictional character.
Me either, unless it’s Khan.
