I wish the irrational right could bring itself to care as much about assault rifles and the carnage they create, as they do pride flags. We are treated to daily dosses of outrage over gay people and 'woke.' A concept that seems to be a blanket term for everything conservatives hate. What we're really witnessing is the death rattle of a dying religion, and the gnashing of teeth over a culture war they know they have lost.
The fight for the rights of minorities has a long and storied history. The fact that we seem to be moving backward now is what scares me. This country has built law after law on the rights of these minorities. Housing, discrimination, labor, and even divorce law have all benefited from an attitude of the general population to protect the under-represented and the downtrodden. Christians becoming upset because a subset of the human population simply exists is counterproductive to a future of a nation that is better together.
People crying because The US is not one culture goes against every idea I grew up with. We were taught in school and mass media that the US was a 'melting pot' of cultures. When I was a kid, the USSR was our biggest boogeyman and Nazi Germany was only one generation removed from the collective consciousness of our people. These are two examples of societies that tried to become one homologous society and failed because of it. The attitudes of these so-called Christians is closer to the idea of communism than of the America I grew up with.
3. Anti-intellectualism and Irrationality at its finest
4. Hate, bigotry and boycott
5. Marginalization of immigrants and the eradication of women's bodily autonomy rights.
6. A love for Donald Trump more than Jesus Christ.
7. Cherry pick the bible with verses taken out of context because they don't even understand the book they extol but rarely if ever read. And if they read, they simply don't have the education to grasp concepts like manners and customs of the Bible, figures of speech, dispensationalism.
You cannot argue with stupid for they will bring you down to their level and beat you with years of experience.
Once again, evangelical Christians demonstrate just how ouch-cube intolerant snowflakes they can be, and yeah, it is downright laughable. What is almost as ridiculous is what I presume to be The Chosen's production supervisors, jumping through hoops, trying to explain why that flag was there, et cetera. One more fact that evangelicals either cannot or will not acknowledge is that the LGBTQ+ community is EVERYWHERE, and if they can't live with that, it is THEIR problem and NOT OURS
Had I been asked to make any kind of statement regarding said flag, I think it would have been something like: WE'RE HERE, WE'RE QUEER, 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗜𝗧!!!
You can tell it's not about theology or doctrine because they can't even tolerate the existence of a Pride flag. They hate the LGBTQ community. They hate them with a passion and would happily pass a law here mandating capital punishment for LGBTQ people if they could.
So sick and tired of the incessant whining of Christians over every tiny little thing.
What was it their Jesus told them? Something about plucking their eyes out if they saw something that offended them. Why aren't homophobic xtians blind by this time?
So much for their claims of following their savior. Even Jesus asked why people called him Lord when they didn't or wouldn't do what he told them.
I’m not convinced that this isn’t a publicity stunt like last year’s. Sure, they’re losing the right wing lunatics, but they are hoping to gain the saner folks. Even with Bud Light and Target, the initial reaction is RWNJs flip their shit, stock market value drops, the left fights back for LGBT rights by spending their cash, the product/brand shows record growth and the stock prices go right back up. The folks affecting stock prices are known to be very conservative and they might be trying to use their influence to bankrupt the companies that are doing the Pride capitalism as their part in the culture wars, but the majority of people really are not on board with the right’s agenda. Coming back to this particular controversy, the producers might have caught on to the pattern and decided to use it to their advantage. Taking granted that the pro-LGBT folks will fight for the underdog and realizing that even the right wing loonies eventually go back to their ways and forget that they were outraged a minute ago. (I mean, really, how many times have they boycotted Target and Disney and others over essentially the same issue, and still need to call for a new boycott every year.)
You like to burn books? Get a big pile of King James Versions of your sacred text, douse them with gasoline and set a match to them. James I was a flamer who rewarded his boyfriends.
I know we should believe people when they say who they are, but when what they say they are is not in line with the other things they say or do, can we acknowledge that maybe they aren’t who they say they are. Who is not convinced of someone’s identity on this thread? I mean, there’s only a few comments and they’ve already given away their game.

Yeah, but the last one will just be him resting.

Christians push:
1. Assault rifles and weapons
2. Pseudo-science
3. Anti-intellectualism and Irrationality at its finest
4. Hate, bigotry and boycott
5. Marginalization of immigrants and the eradication of women's bodily autonomy rights.
6. A love for Donald Trump more than Jesus Christ.

Any questions?

Ah, it's officially Pride Month. Christians are whining about it.
So where is Monica Cole, the One Moronic Mom? Surprised SHE hasn't weighed in on this yet.

GOOD PEOPLE do not hate others.

Didn't the babble say something about rainbows ?

Christians are Furious Over a Tiny PRIDE Flag.
Because of course. Did we really expect them to be furious over all the child rape perpetrated under the church's auspices?
