Imagine giving an entire species free will to do whatever they want, then getting pissed off because of how a % of that species decides to find pleasure and get into relationships, and then collectively punishing a specific geographical region based on that small %.

But wait, create people with those tendencies and even though you are all knowing all seeing and infallible, you were wrong in creating them??

The weirdest part is if an uprising ever happen in the US due to their decades of terrible policy making; they'll blame the gays and Muslims for it all. So yes, their technically right...

This "reasoning" is quite similar to what patriarch Kirill of Moskov declared a year ago, with the difference that it referred to the depraved "West" (not US specifically). He was harshly criticized by western media and even ridiculed for being expression of a retrograde and superstitious approach to religion.

Ironically, now the most democratic country of the world, the homeland of freedom itself, is having its political (not even religious) leaders telling basically the same thing.

How quickly the tide turns.

I'm having difficulty with the bit where you call the USA the "homeland of freedom itself". I know Americans like to believe they live in the best country in the world but the evidence to the country is pretty substantial.

Personally I think that a free country probably doesn't have a police force that's killed more of its own citizens than a hostile nation state could ever hope to achieve.

Mike longed to see depraved gay teens being punished, but he can't watch those videos without his son knowing.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago (7 children)

At the risk of sounding like an edgy reddit atheist...

God isn't real, and most of those teens don't believe in him as there is no evidence such a thing exists.

Did anyone read the email? It’s basically out of 1940. Also,

Johnson may not realize that the reason why more youth identified as non-heterosexual in the CDC’s 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System survey was because it changed its questions on sexual identity. The most recent YRBSS survey included the two following new options for students to describe their sexual identities: “I am not sure about my sexual identity (questioning),” or, “I describe my sexual identity in some other way.”

Lmao. “NO! You have to be SURE about it! Have straight sex NOW!”

God doesn't do anything anymore. In the bible times he was powerful. I think his mojo wore off.
