Please don’t use this physically and sexually abusive piece of shit in memes. Even if you’re making him say things he would never say. He doesn’t deserve the attention.
No you see because [insert really banal and contradictory nonsense about old testament vs new testament while being careful to never reject the Old testament entirely in case God gets all smitey]
God isn’t so awesome in the NT. Jesus and Paul are going around condemning people to hell and we are told that God will chain a women to her bed, men will rape her, and all her kids born of rape will die. Jesus himself creates a parable of a king (where spoiler he is the king) who will one day demand that the bodies of all those oppose him will be cast in front of him.
As bad as the OT god was he didn’t sentence anyone to hell or tell people that there would be oceans of human blood one day.
This isn’t the gotcha you think it is. The stance of serious Christian theologians on homosexuality is nothing like the WBC stance.
Homosexuality in the Christian theological tradition is essentially seen as a disability. Premarital sex is equally forbidden to everyone. But because of what the Bible says, homosexuals have no access the holy mystery of marriage. Therefore they must remain chaste.
As for transgender individuals, the stances of some large churches might surprise you. The Serbian Orthodox Church for instance accepts transgender individuals.
I’m not religious and these aren’t my personal views. Just saying that it’s a bit more complicated than “god hates f*gs.”
Even disregarding all of this, if I put myself for a short minute in the shoes of a religious person, I’m sure I could rationalize this by saying: “well, imagine a father who has an alcoholic son”, and so on. Of course there are plenty of things you could say to that, but by then you’re on the third comment down, and no one is going to read it.
Oh, please. Derogative. Get a sense of humor. That meme came from the atheist community, as a revelation to Aalewis, who wasn’t even a professional quote maker but was nevertheless enlightened by his own intelligence and not by some phony God’s blessing. We can all learn from his example, and attain a sense of euphoria in this moment.
And yet, if god were real, and if god truly loved lgbtq, wouldn’t he maybe say something to his assholish followers? Like, I dunno. If I had a friend and some of my employees started mocking them, discriminating against them and generally being assholes, I’d fire their ass immediately.
We don’t see that. Either god’s not real, god’s impotent, or he hates lgbtq. I’m gonna fall into the first two- he’s impotent because he’s not real.
