    The feel-good (and still very fake and gay) greentexts were always the worst, and largely because of these cringe messages. Implying becoming Christian was the first step. I wouldn’t be surprised if these types of posts are just grassroots conversion attempts from various evangelists.

          It’s right there in Maslow’s Hierarchy of human needs at the top of the list. It may be an aging theory, but it is admissible in many courts. A lack of sexual expression is unhealthy and harmful for all humans. The person is literally saying they are doubling down on dogma and tribalism; two of the most dangerous and toxic traits of the most animalistic and deranged humans.

          So yeah, someone saying this kind of nonsense is scarcely better than someone talking about how jihad gets them close to god.

            From an ace perspective, the statement that sexual expression is a human need is bizarre. I don’t really know how horny regular people are, but this makes it seem like an obsession. It’s like if I said bird watching is a human need; you’d immediately assume I spend like six hours a day bird watching to think it was biologically necessary.

      Meh, taking up a religion that’s killed millions of people is cringe, tbh.

      Better to go outside and take a walk. This post is likely an attempt of some evangelist to convince some ppl to convert.

        Christianity hasn’t killed anybody

        Rejection of it, on the otherhand…

          Crusades, mf, they absolutely killed millions of people. Not to mention the mass genocide and enslavement of the Americas.

                Neither of these say that. The first one is an instruction to the enslaved, not telling people to make slaves. The second is a historical command concerning a single empire.

                  The first one is an instruction to the enslaved telling them to obey their masters, whether they’re kind or cruel.

                  1. Does that sound like the Bible says slaves should not be enslaved, should rise up and free themselves or be freed by others?

                  To your second point, the passage names Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. The bible actually refers to these groups separately, and collectively as the “nations” that are encountered by the Israelites. These groups do (generally) have distinct identities and practices.

                  1. The passage Deuteronomy 20:17 commands followers to “completely destroy” each of these groups. How does that not constitute any sort of genocide?

                  I am absolutely happy to be wrong, and I’m not intending to be hostile - I know these beliefs are deeply held and are personal, and I’m not attacking you for your faith. Just want to make that clear! 👍
