Wait, the last one was 1 star?

That’s the one that sold me on it.

[–] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Right? “May cause bisexual yearning” is supposed to be a warning?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They won't be happy until we are all gay.

Christians want everyone to be Christian, they want Christian schools, they want a Christian nation, so they project that gay people want all the same things. That gay people want everyone to be gay, have gay schools, a gay country, etc. It's all projection.

[–] Eleazar@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

No, this is all you projecting your persecution fetish onto people you most likely never interact with. Pretty bigoted take honestly.

The very opposite is in fact true. I’m gay and go to a Christian church, they speak of love and acceptance for all. If there are actually any who fit your explanation they’re an incredibly small minority that actual Christians disagree with.

You must be going to one of those Heresy churches like Unitarian or something.

Cuz lemme tell you I'm from "da souf" and love and acceptable are curse words in the typical southern church. All fire all brimstone and the gays gonna get ya as well as the blue hair demon rats.

You had your more lib churches there and goddamn you might as well went to the Satanic Temple cuz theyd probably treat you better (misguided vs absolute heretic).

Tbh everything good about religion can be replaced with the simple golden rule and idk spirits n shit.

[–] Eleazar@sh.itjust.works -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Southern Florida, Christian church. The only time I’ve encountered anyone like what your describing has been at pride parades, ironically.

I believe you’re greatly over-exaggerating their existence because you hate all religious people and are trying to convince yourself you’re not a bigot when you obviously are.

The majority of people on Earth are religious. You’ll find “replacing” their beliefs to be impossible. Perhaps you should consider being more tolerant instead of living in a hateful fantasy world.

Get a construction job and tell them youre gay -_-

I did that when i was stupid, then i accidentally did it at another job. Working at a new job and nobody knows. Miraculously they arent following me around and writing me up for the smallest mistake. Everyone likes me because theyll go on their trump rant and i just say "uh huh"

Im not allowed to say what i think though. That would make me a bad worker.

Leviticus 18:22 ~ You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination

I'm glad you found a church that doesn't teach the Bible.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I'm glad your Christian church is open and affirming. So is mine. If there's LGBTQ+ people out there who would like to try going to an open and affirming church, I can recommend UCC.org

But we can't and mustn't deny that a lot of Christian churches have been and absolutely still are hateful towards people who are LGBTQ+ and force them to try to hide or deny their identity. The mealy-mouthed "Love the sinner, hate the sin" means they're just trying to deny their own sin by pretending they aren't breaking "and love thy neighbor as thyself." To just say such people and churches are not "actual Christians" is denial at its laziest and enables them to continue unchecked.

And don't get me started on whole denominations that refuse to allow women to fill positions of power such as pastor or priest. They're not going to be ordaining any trans people either.

[Points to post]:

[–] Eleazar@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice quote I’ve heard literally nobody say before this post. What’s your point? I’m speaking from experience when I say these views are wildly unpopular among Christians.

[–] BackStabbath@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Homophobic Christians are so common it's crazy. I don't know what sort of luck you have lol, or whether you just live life with your head in the sand.

[–] such_lettuce7970@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Transphobic ones are even more common. The person you're responding to, Eleazor, just commented to me a week later: "I’m sorry but yes, you should consider bottom surgery mutilation. There’s a difference between the other things but I’m sure you’re missing it."

Most likely never interact with?

You mean the same people writing laws against abortions or against trans people? They're coming for gay people next, I guarantee you that much.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

i think your kinda lumping alot of people in to a group. people are people, it doesnt matter what religion, race or ethnicity. People will abuse power be hateful and do stupid things. saying one group of people want one thing and one thing only is bias and projection and stereotyping upon your part

[–] Eleazar@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

May as well give up on these people, they aren’t capable of nuance.

The funniest part to me though is they’re saying all these wild things about how Christians feel about gay people yet I rarely experience it myself. But daaaaamn the moment I mention I’m also a Christian they full-on seethe.

It’s bigotry and they’ve fully embraced it.

[–] finkrat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I am Christian (I'm not out to go modify non-Christians though and have a lot of misgivings about the way other Christians have been approaching the topic) and have been in the church basically my whole life and can echo what u/BarqsHasBite stated. The big fear from their end is LGBTQIA+ folks "converting" the children to change the nation. Spend enough time looking at liberal-based news (I imagine you don't want to, that's fine but it needs to be said) and you'll see lots of examples of Christian vitriol against LGBTQIA+ in a very un-Christ-like manner. If you're not seeing it around you, you're lucky.

"It’s bigotry and they’ve fully embraced it."

As a Christian talking to a Christian, I'm astounded you don't understand the nature of the culture war going on. One side views homosexuality as a horror that needs to be snuffed out, and the other side views it as a major component of their person that is inseparable. One side wants homosexuality to die and the other side views that as a threat against their person. One side is using the Republican party to attack availability of transgender services that a good chunk of the other side relies on to live because they have followed their gender dysphoria through to personal body modification.

You and a lot of other Christians in this country need to stop with the persecution claims and crawl out from under your rock and have some open dialogue with your fellow Americans or citizens of whatever country you're in and stop cowering behind your pride and ego. It's fair to be viewed with mistrust when others of your faith are attacking what they are standing for. We are being intolerant of their choices and then crying intolerance and that is plain idiotic.

I found this while looking at reviews

[–] Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who the hell wants children to grow up to be vile beings and why would you give them ideas? What a terrible concept.

[–] PC509@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No respect for anyone but themselves was the telling part, though. Let's help others, homeless, less fortunate, immigrants, poor. Let's help others with healthcare, education, housing, food. "No! I'm not paying taxes so someone else can get something for FREE!".

Ok, now I know who they are talking about.

[–] miles@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That fourth quote is legit quality.

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Confusingly attractive" tells you this person is avoiding some introspection.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No im very bisexual and would describe everyone in that film as confusingly attractive, I get its the point, but they all look very fake and plastic to the point its just on the edge of the uncanny valley.

Are “name checks out” posts allowed here? Beetlejuicing?

[–] rekliner@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At this point the Margot Robbie account is a part of Lemmy's origin story

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe I'll finally win an Oscar for this.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And that's esteemed Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated marketing genius/master digital artist/fast food burger connoisseur/character actress Margot Robbie to you!

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I choose to believe the actual Margot Robbie has decided shitposting on a niche platform most people have never heard of is a worthwhile use of her time.

[–] gon@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

"They won't be happy until we are all gay." I thought Barbie and Ken were the quintessential straight couple? I haven't watched the film but that is so odd.

[–] Hextic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fellas, is it gay to be in a straight relationship?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Margo Robbie is on screen but I can't stop staring at Ryan Gosling's toned body and soft face. This makes me uncomfortable and it's the movie's fault.
