I thought God intended childhoods to be ruined by sadistic nuns and horny priests.

Maybe their parents were a sadistic nun and a horny priest ๐Ÿคท

How does that work with the whole celibacy thing?

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't, really, but hypocrisy is generally a feature of religion rather than a bug so ๐Ÿคท

Eh, I think it's a more generalized statement on the human condition:

Rules for thee but not for me.

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

[โ€“] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yup, but religion doesn't get to monopolize hypocrisy.

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

True. Just like people other than Michael Jordan and LeBron James are allowed to play basketball ๐Ÿ˜‰
