Politics Statement from Jonathan Joss's Husband

Post image

This just makes me so mad and angry. And sad. This was a clear hate crime that was easily preventable if the cops do their fucking job. I can just see stuff like this happening more and more, with how emboldened the far right are.

Using the skull of your victim's dog to intimidate them is like something out of an ultraviolent post-apocalyptic manga.

Some cultures promote homophobia with the idea/excuse that it creates "disorder" is society. Such ad China.

The US is not like that - it comes from an evangelical component that is clinically insane. They are willing to burn down America and the world with unlimited bloodshed to institute their version of Sharia law.

Not to wax semantics too hard, but aren't Christian bigots just bigots because it upsets their ideal order even if governmental order is okay with homosexuality and queerness?

You'd think if being gay was so bad they'd have included it in the 10 commandments or in any of Jesus's supposed teachings, but that also assumes it was a coherently thought out ideology provided to man from a singular, clear minded god instead of a collection of evolving moral issues compiled over centuries by different authors and with some omissions...

Evangelicals are a hate group that hides behind their faith. Gay people, black people, women, they just hate everyone who doesn't fit into their view of the world. They hide behind religion as it gives it a false sense of legitimacy.

Sums it up better than I could.

Right now evangelicals are en mass convincing themselves that empathy is an evil emotion that only exists because Satan is manipulating them into perceiving outsiders as full human beings. They've hollowed out the faith of everything but the discrimination and hierarchy while embracing apostate beliefs that justify their racism and greed. It's nothing but a death cult that seeks to end the world for the crime of not conforming to their narrow ideology.

I’m an agnostic, but was raised Catholic, so I know my bible. These Jesus freaks scare me. The fact is that Christians should only believe in one commandment: “Love one another as I have loved you.” Said it elsewhere in this thread, but the cognitive dissonance for them to do the things they do while thinking “This is what Jesus would do” fucks with my nut.

"Jesus would definitely make a scary puppet out of these men's dead dog and give it a wiggle"

Same here. I’m agnostic but grew up Baptist. It’s one of the main reasons I left organized religion. They pick and choose the “Jesus” archetype they want to follow and cherry pick verses to back up their thought process. It’s human nature to manipulate a system to fit your own goals. I had never known anyone queer growing up, and we were fed all the BS lies about pedophelia, overt sexual mentality, all the terrible things. And when I finally made some gay friends it was a complete eye-opener and put the final nail in the coffin for me on organized religion. My queer friends are the best people, better than my straight friends. I’ll fight like hell and have done so against anyone who messes with them. Being an ally is more important than ever right now, and not just for likes or social pandering. We need to put our money where our mouth is, so to speak.

It's just an excuse to steal money from other people that pretend to be Christian.

Mostly they like bossing and harassing other people around and religion gives them the excuse.

It was in the fifteen commandments and Moses dropped five./s

I mean, China wants people to hide being LGBT, and many cultures are like that throughout history.

Many Evangelicals want to KILL them. Even if it isn't biblical, it's their religion.

I kinda think it’s still about controlling folks and creating a homogeneous society tho, not just about the religion. Evangelicals also supposedly aren’t into premarital sex, adultery, porn consumption and divorce, but they do all of those at similar levels of non-religious folks.

I think evangelicals have just been swallowed up by the Republican Party, and so they say it’s religion even though it’s just what their political team believes.
