I wish Christians were persecuted anywhere near the extent they claim to be.
It truly bothers me that our response to God believers is “We have to respect them” and our response to trans people is “They are delusional!”
When it should be the other way around. After all Transpeople and gender dysphoria are real and measurable. God is neither.
I’m tired of these people who worship deities tell me there’s no such thing as trans. That I am not a woman because “God doesn’t make mistakes.”
Newsflash - If God was real the existence of birth defects proves he does make mistakes.
If masculinity is God’s will so is bad eyesight. Burn your satanic glasses.
I recently started reading Separation of Church and Hate by John Fugelsang. I highly recommend it, especially if you aren’t religious. I saw the author on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and he convinced me to read it.
The book is about why Christian Nationalists are wrong. They’ve stolen Christianity from true Christians.
It gives you the tools and knowledge to debate those people by analyzing verse from the Bible more closely with the context to the era.
Some things you might not know that I learned:
-
Jesus was a Palestinian.
-
Paul never met Jesus. His books of the bible were actually letters he wrote to someone else about the scripture. His words about the scripture weren’t meant to be applied to his own letters.
-
The Bible often contradicts itself. Sometimes, in the same book. Paul, for example, wrote that women should be submissive and never speak, but then he had a female deacon.

Has there been a single recent example of Christians being persecuted in the US ? Wtf are these people on about
When they arrest someone for murdering a queer person, they call that “Cancelling Christianity”
Certain strains of Christianity in the US are really apocalypse cults. Somewhere in the story there’s something about being persecuted and being threatened with death unless you renounce Christ.
They need to be persecuted because it reinforces the idea that they are living in the end times and therefore closer to rapture or whatever.
Edit: persecution is also a key part of Christianity’s origin story (Peter being crucified for his belief, Christians being fed to the lions in Rome, etc.).
This is also critical for those who are treating the earth like it doesn’t matter. Rapture is coming so it doesn’t matter. Although they always fail to remember the quote, a rich man getting into heaven is as likely as a camel going through the eye of a needle. I am paraphrasing
Christians actually oppose going to college because the end times will be here “any day now” so dedicating yourself to anything but praising Jebus is a waste of time.
Simpler than that: victim envy
They were told they have to be nice to gay and brown people. That’s their “persecution”
Ah yes, a modern crucifixion
What’s so unhealthy is that none of it is a rock, but the very sand they warn about, how convenient, projection been going on a long time! Same with all the other supernatural systems that preceded it by thousands of years and that came after. It’s a compilation of what worked best for men in power to keep it, and supernatural stories controlled people better than force alone.
Other tricks they use to keep people hooked, indoctrinate from birth, offer belonging*, simplify thinking with phrases to repeat, must say/think the right words for alleged, but no proof of later reward, fear/reward cycle, cortisol, dopamine, oxytocin, guilt/shame/blame and they are the only one that can fix it, how convenient! It’s been used for so long most think it’s good to not have healthy skepticism and encourage curiosity and growth, transcend the ego control. Real truth sets us free from the low-level thinking and high-control and associated unhealthy ways. Big claims require big proof as Sagan said. We are waves of one ocean made of stardust, the cosmos observing itself, for this short time, nothing after, nothing to balance the ledger of suffering now.

What would they be if they weren’t victims?
I wish Christians got their wish.
I want America to become a godless atheisitc wasteland that considers queerness a virtue and Believing in God to be mental illness.
I want it forbidden to say Christmas or to pray in public. I want churches constantly raided by the cops and shut down for preying on children.
I want the Bible taken from all public libraries and replaced with the Quran.
Why? Because Christians want it, so badly, and I figure that if they finally get their wet dream they can cum and stop being my problem.
is this a trick question? air conditioned?
Reminds me of this:
I thought white conservatives hate LGBQT?
There are some queer ones that unfortunately didn’t get the memo, they’ll scream about how they didn’t think it would be their face later
Log cabin mfers are already turning on the trans community.
Indeed they actually recently made an announcement that they no longer support trans rights. They claim to be purely LGB from now on.
Their excuse is that trans people “Go after children and are therefore no different than pedophiles.”
As if Republicans don’t accuse gays of going after the children too.
Because she has short hair and is wearing a hoodie?
Because shes bi
Huh, til. This website is full of cancer, so be warned if you don’t have an ad blocker
Accurate.
I don’t understand how there are so many Christians these days. It feels like it’s has a resurgence recently.
That’s because Gen Z went hard on Jesus out of belief that Christianity would give them trad wives.
It might have. A lot of these people I’m seeing picking it up are women.
You mean people who call themselves Christian or people who follow the examples of Jesus?
I’m asking because I’ve got the impression that many of those right wing nationalists do pretty much the exact opposite of what Jesus preaches.
Most of these people think that going to church makes you Christian. In the same way that standing in my garage makes me a car.
It’s actually just tribalism.
Both, but I’m thinking more so of the average person. I’ve been seeing more displays of it everywhere from online socials to irl. Suddenly there’s more cars with Christian nonsense on them or you check profiles in what was a very left leaning space only to see bibe verses.
what would you call those whited sepulchres? even actual christians don’t have a monopoly on virtue
Jesus was fine with torturing and murdering all sorts of people.
You do know He promised to come back and murder everybody, right? While the Christians watch from Heaven, smiling.
I thought the rest of us just don’t get raptured. To what are you referring?
Those are the people “left behind”. After all the Christians are safe up in Heaven, Jesus comes down to Earth with His Holy Army of legions of Angels. They will murder all of the non-Christians, and the lake of blood will be miles wide and “as deep as a horse’s bridle”. (Revelation describes the Apocalypse in great detail).
Then the murdered non-Christians will burn in Hell for all time (with all of the other non-Christians from the history of the Earth, many billions of people). The vast majority of humanity to ever exist will experience eternal torture.
Christians can watch their torture from Heaven, and listen to their torment, too, and talk to them as they are tormented. They can even smell them… God loves the smell of burning flesh like incense (that’s why there were animal sacrifices before Jesus).
Over the centuries, Christians have focused on just a few words from Jesus, especially when proselyting and for “public relations”. The vast majority of people have no idea of the awful truth in the Bible. Many Christians don’t even read it. I have 12 years of Bible studies from Catholic, Assembly of God, and Baptist schooling. Everything I have said has accompanying scripture.
I mean that would kinda explain a lot about the christians leading our country today lmao
… and the Middle East, too, including Israel (Jew) and the surrounding nations (Muslim)
(all of these faiths are Abrahamic with much of the same core belief system. They all think that they are the ‘Chosen People’, but there can be only one Chosen People, many of them can’t abide “the other”, and want them all to die)
Stupid is so hot right now.
So less than three minutes if you include her mouth to try and get him chubbed enough that she could pretend he could get it inside.
I apologize for the imagery.
Cool, does she stand for my equally firm belief of not being Christian? What about my rights as a pagan? Because I for one believe we should all keep our religions out of the government
Can we just believe in like science and stuff? Or believe in “reality?” like let’s just be real about things, that’s my religion.
Persecution fetishists gonna persecution fetish.
If you ask them to persecute other people less, they’ll endlessly screech about being persecuted.
Yea, that’s how they get the ol’ two-fer. They persecute YOU until
theyre about to cumyou resist, THEN theyedge themselvesscreech about how you’re persecuting them by resisting
God often works with imperfect vessels!
So long as the vessel hold liquid, it’ll do.
…or did you mean one of those fake gods attempting copy of the glory of the one and true Flying Spaghetti Monster.
R’amen.
That’s not always

Rehost in Loops or Peertube, please.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a link to something on tik tok. Well done.
Shouldn’t I? You can just watch it in a browser, I don’t see a problem.
