KILL THE TRANNIES AND THE GAYS!!! It says to do so in Leviticus.
-Republicans, soon probably.
Fuck you and your religion.
I’ll bet that Lindsey Graham (“Mee-maws little warmonger”) is secretly conflicted right now.
Yet again, the side that screams FREEDOM only wants to take everyone else’s away.
For them it’s “freedom to,” not “freedom from.” As in, free to exploit, free to abuse, free to dominate instead of freedom from exploiters, freedom from abusers, or freedom from domination.
For FREEDOM!™ they sure want to know what you’ve got and doing in your pants.
Especially childrens pants
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”
It’s right there in the first line of the Bill of Rights.
Right, so they’ll just do it without Congress.
Have they even done anything in Congress? Seems like all of their policies have been dictated by the orange absolute monarch.
Voted stuff down is about it
what? you want these people to read now?
if they didnt read the whole bible they sure arent gonna read the whole constitution.
The jokes on everyone who still acts as though they’re dealing with rational people in good faith, instead of mentally ill religious extremists, sociopaths, psychopaths, and pedophiles.
Whether they were inherently susceptible, or indoctrinated through psychological warfare, is largely irrelevant. You can’t deprogram tens of millions of people, especially while the propaganda apparatus remains.
But don’t you understand that gay people merely existing prevents these people from pursuing their own religion, which includes the serene knowledge that the entire world is like them?? /s
In case you haven’t noticed already, the American government is run by a bunch of fascist that don’t care about the rules (they only pretend to when it’s convenient).
Funny that you expect these assholes to read.
Oh good, they were looking for that quote. Ran out of toilet paper again.
You think they’d notice it eventually. It comes around on the roll at least once a week.
Right, DOJ isn’t Congress tho
DOJ didn’t exist when the Constitution was written. Courts have long determined that this applies to any state or federal institution.
That was those courts, we’ve got these courts.
Ugh, I hate how right you are.
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
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.
How is it religion’s fault for politics using it?
Politics couldn’t use religion in this way if it wasn’t normalised and tolerated to force it on those who don’t share their beliefs.
Who normalised forcing religion on non believers? Rulers or religions? I don’t recall Jesus or Krishna asking for that.
the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion - John Adams
We’ll see about that
-Conservatives, historically and today
they claim to be but dont ACTUALLY follow the church nor the Bible
Tell that to Homelander
yeah, caring about others is VERY anti-christ. Jesus would never ever care about others.
Fucking dipshit turd.
There’s no hate as intense as christian love.
the DOJ doesnt represent the Catholic Church
So the pedophiles running America that are using Catholics as a cover are not associated with the Catholic Church which has a multi-century history of priests, bishops, and popes sticking their dicks into children… hmm… I don’t quite believe you.
if someone uses me as a human shield, I do not become their ally
I just find the Catholic Church’s whole “We don’t support pedophiles” thing funny is a black humor kind of way… considering how often Catholics Priests have to be reminded to pull their dicks out of children. I remember reading the real history of Catholic leadership over the centuries (not the shit they teach in America schools)… it’s horrifying and gross how many of the Catholic Church’s leaders over the centuries have been pedophiles. And just read the news whenever another pedophile gets caught… it falls into the following categories with religious figures being the number one (and Catholics being a majority in that number one spot - with Protestants and Methodists being tied for second place, and Muslims and Hindus coming in 3rd and fourth): Law enforcement, politicians, corporations, teachers, doctors, men (in general), family members, and religious figures.
links articles proof
I’ll list a few. I’m not your personal assistant. use your brain and your favorite search site… and stop listening to the brain rot claiming that all LBGTQ+ people are pedophiles (Ive only seen 3 articles about lgbtq+ pedophiles and those are major exceptions).
every study group focuses on a different thing and their data is skewed by their focus… but it does have a pattern. and yes I forgot about Buddhists and their large pedophile population.

following the above link: – these are the books cited in the last link above. they are both interesting reads from an analytical point of view. my old High School actually had a copy of Saints & sinners : a history of the popes before it got removed by religious parents complaining. so I got to read it when I was in 9th grade.
https://www.academia.edu/30917304/Vicars_of_Christ_The_Dark_Side_of_the_Papacy – no need to pay. just say no thanks to all and you can still get the entire book.
https://archive.org/details/00book1593273669/page/n8/mode/1up – Saints & sinners : a history of the popes – this one I couldn’t find a free pdf view of but I am sure you know a few legally grey sources for free books since the book is nearly $30.
edit: forgot a “fun” link. https://theweek.com/articles/495712/pope-benedict-pedophilia-scandal-timeline
edit 2: for the poor baby root. I did say I wasn’t your fucking personal assistant and that you can do your own research. I linked the fun articles. and you missed the Pope saying that 1 in 50 Catholic Priests is a pedophile. there are roughly 400k priests recognized by the church. that’s 8k priests raping children. and root here who blocked me cause he can’t handle the fact that his priest is very likely to be a pedophile… ignores the fucking sources which have even more fun stats. but then again… he’s got his head buried in the sand so deeply that if I didn’t know any better… I would suspect that he’s one of the 8000 pedophile priests.

In one study, 93 percent of convicted sex offenders described themselves as “religious.” Perhaps surprisingly, many sexual predators consider churches as “safe havens,” Vieth said, with trusting, forgiving adults and easy access to children.
“Described themselves as religious” ≠ Ordained Catholic Priests
- Of the 1050 victims in our sample, 404 had been in Roman Catholic, 130 in Protestant, and 516 in non-religious institutions. The overall mean age at the time of reporting was 52.2 years. Males (59.8%) outnumbered females
Protestants and Non Religious people are the majority in this study and Significantly more victims from Protestant institutions reported having current psychosocial problems.

Hate v. Hate classic America
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
I’m a communist and I’m damn well speaking out. Y’all gonna let me burn, or are we going to stand up and fight back before we get to that point this time?
Anything except enthusiastic Christianity is “anti-Christian” to these people. Fuck them all.
You think it won’t be women next? Then nonwhites? Then non-christians? Then the Final Solution?
We’ve seen this movie before.
then the catholics
You think it won’t be women next? Then nonwhites? Then non-christians? Then the Final Solution?
Last hired, first fired
… 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?
Such a long winded way to say “I’m an idiot” lol
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.
its not the job of the government to obey Christian values. its the job of the government to protect its people, and if those people are gay, the government is OBLIGATED to make their life better like any other citizen.
In a class-based system like capitalism, the state (cops, courts, military, ICE, etc.) exists to maintain the rule of one class over another, in this case the capitalist class. American neo-liberalism has served the capitalists’ interests well for the last few decades, but it is no longer. They need to tighten their grip because they are losing ground economically (to China, specifically).
This is when you see every effort to divide (weaken) and repress the working masses. Minoritized people and leftists are the first to be repressed - they are easy targets because the capitalists and the media outlets spend billions propagandizing the working masses to turn against these groups. This is when you see right wing reaction - as we are seeing now, not just in the US, but in many of the capitalist countries that are allies with US imperialism. This is a cycle that keeps repeating in every capitalist crisis.
It is in the interests of the whole working class - internationally - to recognize this tactic used to divide the working masses (which will lead to even lower quality of life for all) and to instead stand up against this repression and to defend people on the receiving end of US Imperialist aggression, whether this be workers, minorities, and/or countries (Iran, Cuba, etc.).
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!
/me snorts at the Montey Python reference.
Sadly, I think we all expect the MAGA Inquisition, though.
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.
Wasn’t there also that bit about “the Disciple that Jesus loved”?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
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.
Not sure why you think I would try to change your mind.
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.
