To any and all xtians who take offense at this:

For god's sake, turn your TVs off and read your bibles. Just make sure they're not KJVs. The ones by the gay king.

Len Koz's avatar

Don't worry, the people who are bothered by this only swear by the Trump bible.

susan conner's avatar

Or the version by the basketball 🏀 player. 😅

Do NOT read the one from the First Reformed Church of Pastrami, so ordained by Jibbers Crabst.

Few people disgust me more than those who claim their religion entitles them to a say in other people's personal choices. Their cherished 'moral teachings' are really just a rule book they pretend to follow because it is far easier and less painful for them than thinking. It's kind of hard to find things to feel grateful for these days, but be grateful you do not live in a world where the evangelical preachers got to make the rules for everyone. You would soon learn what true persecution looks like.

Troublesh00ter's avatar

Evangelical Christians' insistence on universal conformity to their rules and lifestyle is the height of hubris and egotism. It's been clear for decades (if not centuries) that they can't deal with diversity or differences of opinion, because that clashes with their precious holey book, and the cognitive dissonance is too much to take.

To which I say, ya don't like the heat? The door to the kitchen is THAT WAY ====>

oraxx's avatar

They can talk about their loving Jesus and the glorious afterlife from now on, but it's power and control over people on this earthly plain they covet most.

Jane in NC's avatar

Please. Most of them would happily give up their glorious afterlife with Big J for the chance to see the people they hate get taken down. The whole appeal of their longed-for Rapture isn't the prospect of seeing their Jesus, it's the prospect of seeing 'em godless atheists burn.

oraxx's avatar

I have long felt Christianity to be roughly equal parts comfort myth and revenge fantasy.

They are an ongoing example of why no country in its right mind hands power to the preachers.

"glorious afterlife with Big J"

Julius Irving?

That's Dr. Big J. Thankyou.

Even I'd go for an afterlife watching Dr. J! 😂😂😂

Oh please. He was "Dr. J." ;)

Walt Svirsky's avatar

Why all this hate? Is “live and let live” so heinous a concept they must strike out?

The Epistler's avatar

Why else would these people be so full of mindless self-destructive hate that they'd vote for one of the most disgusting wastes of human DNA ever misconceived purely because they want to watch him and his lackeys hurt people and for no other reason than that? What a truly miserable way to live. I just wish they'd take it out on themselves instead of innocent people.

Troublesh00ter's avatar

And I will insist with my dying breath that they want that kind of control because THEY ARE SCARED. Bunch of scared little kids who cannot deal with reality.

Walt Svirsky's avatar

And their kids will grow up the same way. Home schooled, stilted in their thinking, never socialized and perfect prey for the church.

Walt Svirsky's avatar

Once again I am simply stunned by the outrageous hypocrisy being served up hot & spicy to the poor deluded xtians. Those foolish, evil white men that the church has empowered to make the rules for EVERYONE are far from saints. Behind closed doors, they are getting their own freaky geeky on.

oraxx's avatar

A big part of that is the fact they seldom pay a price for their hypocrisy, and have a great talent for rationalizing excuses for their every failure.

Ventura Calderon Parada's avatar

"God loves us, and His design for marriage is between one man and one woman,"

Really, Frankie? Tell us when Adam & Eve were ever married. And your god designed man and woman to be naked and unashamed. Does that tick you off as well?

Troublesh00ter's avatar

Shall we also mention Betty Bowers' take on biblical marriage? Ya know what? I think we SHALL!

Or maybe not. Did Betty PULL that video??? I can't find it!

Edit: GOT IT!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFkeKKszXTw

NOGODZ20's avatar

Oops! You edited and posted it after I posted mine.

Troublesh00ter's avatar

Hey, no worries. That's important educational stuff there! 🤣🤣🤣

Troublesh00ter's avatar

It was weird. I went to YouTube and searched on "Betty Bowers marriage" and darn near EVERYTHING but that video showed up.

So I used Google - BINGO!

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

I used my browser, and same as you, the right video was the first proposed.

Whitney's avatar

I suspect the algorithm was changed in an effort to make more money. No proof of that, mind.

Walt Svirsky's avatar

NOW I understand! Thanks, Betty.

Troublesh00ter's avatar

Betty is THE BOMB! Her take on the screwiness of Christianity and modern-day Christians never fails to be on point!

susan conner's avatar

OK Trouble. I started to watch the Betty video but couldn't watch much because the next video in my feed was Wolf Totem by the HU. Mongolian Metal. So of course I quickly deleted Betty. 🐺

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

Last concert I went to (with my mother) was the HU 😁

susan conner's avatar

Oh wow. I've never seen them live. They're doing a small tour in Turkey and Finland.

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

That day they played Yuve yuve yu, Wolf totem and Black Thunder one after the other. Musical orgasm 😁

Troublesh00ter's avatar

PARTY POOPER! Anyway, when you're done with Wolf Totem, Betty's link will still be there!

susan conner's avatar

OG. THX!! 🤪😝😜

NOGODZ20's avatar

Wolf Totem’s been out for awhile. It’s place is secure. :)

(Saw them at The Crocodile on the Warrior Souls Tour here a couple of years ago)

susan conner's avatar

I just watched an acoustic video of Shireg Shireg. Flute and all. 💕

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

If god's design for marriage is one man and one woman, why Solomon, one of his chosen kings, had several wives and concubines ?

Same question for Mérovingiens christian kings or Charlemagne.

NOGODZ20's avatar

Even their David had 8 wives.

(Solomon would've smirked and thought "Amateur")

Len Koz's avatar

And had one of his underlings whacked so he could get with the guy's wife. Such a fine, upstanding king.

NOGODZ20's avatar

When David and Bathsheba gave birth to a son, YHVH punished them…by killing the infant son and not them.

The biblical deity is Fucked. Up.

EDITED

OwossoHarpist's avatar

That was actually their son who died a week after he was born to punish David and Bathsheba for their sins. Not the daughter.

NOGODZ20's avatar

You're right. The innocent son was mentioned in 2 Samuel 12:10-14.

Troublesh00ter's avatar

Maybe a bit of a reach, but I'm reminded of that amazing opus of Eric Whitacre: When David Heard. I must have listened to this 100 times, and it just continues to floor me ... Every Last Time.

And coveted someone else's wife. Why is it that the biblical bigshots get a pass when it comes to the commandments?

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

French/Frank royal dynasty roughly from early 6th century to end of 8th

susan conner's avatar

Don't make me. So are French franks the forerunners of the hotdogs Joey Chestnut gobbles down on the 4th?

Troublesh00ter's avatar

Joey Chestnut is a competitive EATER. He holds the record for the most hot dogs (a.k.a. weiners, frankfurters, or just "franks") in a 10-minute period - 76!

susan conner's avatar

?? Sorry no parle vous

Or French either

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

I am the mourner, Black Hole was the nickname of my Doggess 🤣

Psittacus Ebrius's avatar

Merci pour la correction.

OwossoHarpist's avatar

Frankie, and others like him, needs to explain the instances of Biblical heroes like David taking many women as their wives, let alone having concubines bear children for them if their wives are not available for sexual intercourse.

NOGODZ20's avatar

I mentioned David as well a couple of minutes before you did. Isn't it amazing how selective xtians are?

susan conner's avatar

Frankie huh? Love that. I call the right wing senator from our state Mikie.

I've heard the rationalization as to why Adam and Eve were actually married, but I can't remember what it was. I'm sure it was monumentally stupid.

I've read the bible in 4 different translations. They were never married. As usual, xtians make shit up.

NOGODZ20's avatar

Got easier and faster with each translation. Cemented my atheism.

susan conner's avatar

I would never be able to maintain an interest. But, as you say, it was for a good cause cementing your atheism.

I prefer the song. Maybe Frankie can sing it

Name: lenora good, Guest's avatar

it amazes me how people can talk about their god being a god of love, and then say a certain group deserves hell. and then when they try to say that love is unconditional love i have to laugh out loud, it's very conditional, transactional--you get his love and eternal life ONLY if you believe in his son! the healthiest (mental & physical) gift i ever gave to me was when i walked out of church and never looked back. i wonder how many people franklin & his ilk have driven from the church instead of calling them to it.

Stephen Brady's avatar

And they believe their god made the whole universe and everything in it. Us gay folk are in this universe (some days I wish we weren’t) . How came your god to make so many of us?

Name: lenora good, Guest's avatar

well, personally, i'm delighted you're here. i have family of choice whom i love that are LGBTQ+, and family of blood whom i love that are LGBTQ+. but, yeah, there are days (weeks? months?) that i wish i, too, could travel to a different universe;-)

Setting aside the latest performative Nat-C outrage...

A hearty 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝑭𝒖𝒄𝒌? to the parents who are subjecting their kids to this. If you want to party like it's 1889 or whatever, you do you... but don't put your kids through it, and especially don't make a spectacle of it. "Reality" TV is no place for children- especially if the show is set up, as this one apparently is, as a fucking 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. The pressure alone is going to leave them needing years of therapy, let alone having cameras shoved in their faces during all their worst moments, and their family conflicts stoked and spied on, because that's where all the spiciest 𝐷𝑟𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎! comes from. 𝘌𝘸.

Reality TV as a whole concept needs to die in a fire, have its ashes pissed on by a diseased moose, shoveled into a furnace to be burned again, and last but not least packed into a cannon and blasted off the side of a mountain. The fuckhead who came up with the idea in the first place should be tried for crimes against humanity.

Stephen Brady's avatar

An unbiblical view of marriage and sexuality… one man and one woman… So an old geezer who married his sister and got her slave preggers is OK, and a king with 700 wives and concubines is OK… but a family with 2 dads is an abomination? These creeps are addicted to clicks on their odious posts. And, an oh, btw, there are legitimate biblical scholars who think the Apostle Paul was gay. Put that in your outrage pipe and smoke it.

susan conner's avatar

Of course Paul was gay. He did all he could to persecute gays. And for that he was struck down, blind or whatever the hell it was. And remember - they always tell on themselves.

Walt Svirsky's avatar

And every accusation is a confession.

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

Do you have names or links ? I never heard of Saul of Tarsus being gay, and now I am curious.

Bensnewlogin's avatar

Paul complained about having a thorn in his flesh, but he never named what the thorn was. John Shelby Spong wrote something in one of his books about all of this. But I don’t remember what it was.

Personally, I think they’re reaching. He might’ve referred to it as an annoyance if it was just his eyesight, but he referred to it as “a thorn in his flesh”. and since he was obsessed about the flesh and sex and the nastiness of both, I think it had very much to do with sex. Now it might’ve been plain old hetero sex, but who knows?

There you go. But then, who wrote down what he allegedly said? Or did he or someone else write anything or is it all just a big fairy tale to convince people of the message and the rules and if you don't obey you will be struck by lightning or at least fall off your horse 🐎.

Stephen Brady's avatar

I first saw it in one of David Fitzgerald’s books. I think it is ‘Jesus: Mything in Action’ - maybe vol. 2.

susan conner's avatar

What is "My thing?"

Sounds like a man's second brain. You know, the one that's really in charge, or at least in action

Stephen Brady's avatar

That title is a play on the old trope: Missing in action, but based on the word 'Myth'. The second Volume has a pic on the cover with Jesus on a milk carton and the words 'Have you seen me".

Zorginipsoundsor's avatar

It also features in the 𝘔𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 series of books.

Leona Prothero's avatar

Before Saul became Paul, it is well known that he was a Roman soldier who actively persecuted Christians of that era. Roman soldiers went where and did as they were told. History tells us that one way the victorious Roman soldier persecuted a defeated enemy was to show domination by r*ping the enemy. It wasn’t sexual, it was simply expected behavior. Read your history books. Paul condemning homosexual acts was not about condemning a living relationship between two consenting adults. It was about protecting prisoners taken by the Roman army.

NOGODZ20's avatar

For what it's worth, the imaginary character Saul/Paul was not a soldier (nor was he a tax collector, as some believe). He was a Roman citizen of Tarsus who was a Pharisee, a strict sect of Judaism that emphasized total adherence to Jewish law. He was a tentmaker by trade.

Boreal's avatar

Franklin Graham, professional grifter and bigot's only claim to fame was being born to his grifter parents. All the Grahams are grifter trash. A tv show has his panties in a bunch, not innocent people being snatched off the streets and being put in concentration camps , or starving children or genocide. What a POS.

As a conservative and a fan of RFF jr, I am doubly disappointed. Not only is this show glorifying the devil's marriage, but there is also a severe lack of preventable commutable diseases. Where is the typhus and cholera? Did you know not dying of smallpox is a leading cause of autism.

https://www.concordatwatch.eu/roger-williams-erects-a-wall-between-church-and-state--t8611

This little intra-Christian war is just one of the first examples of the growing crack within evangelical Christianity. Roger Williams of RI warned against mixing religion with government because he saw how plainly the mixing would lead to corruption of the faith AND the government. The dropping of the Johnson Amendment will help further widen the crack. I already know at least two couple who quit their churches over politics, and this will only increase. As an atheist I say the downfall of Christianity can't happen fast enough!

NOGODZ20's avatar

In the bible, a man named Lot offered up his two virgin daughters (both more than likely underage) to a mob to be gang raped. All in order to protect two male strangers. Later in a cave, he "drunkenly" copulates with those very same daughters, impregnating both. No marriage was involved. And yet Lot was considered a righteous man.

Xtians really need to read their own bibles for themselves instead of being spoon pap by their local conman.

susan conner's avatar

I don't remember that Lot story. Guess I didn't read the Bible too closely.

Christian-influential couple casts gay couple in reality TV program. Evangelical community loses their shit. Water is wet, and the sun rises in the east.

It is long past time that the US evangelical community recognized the fact that THEY DON'T RUN THE COUNTRY, much as they'd love to. They don't get to be the final arbiter on every last thing that comes to American media, and they sure as hell don't get a veto on casting for reality television. Once again, I'm reminded of the spoiled brat, insisting that he'll hold his breath until he turns blue if he doesn't get his way.

Meanwhile, Chip and Joanna will likely continue programming their show, and if asked about their choice for the participants of that show and that one of the couples is gay, their response could be something like this:

GROW UP!!!
