“We make no apologies for saying God hates pride or pride flags as it’s an agenda that harms children and undermines parental authority, and the only backlash we see is coming from radical Democrats, the fake news media, and weak Republicans who bow down at the feet of leftist cancel culture," he said.
These people literally have never even opened a Bible. God doesn’t even hate Satan, it’s pretty dang explicit.
These people only care about bad things when those bad things happen to them. They cannot, or won't let themselves, conceive of pain unless they themselves are feeling it. They have no empathy, or if they do, they allow their hate to override it, to shape it into something horrible, like pleasure in another's suffering.
Why imagine? That's exactly what they think. And abortion can be dismissed as going against God, whereas conversion therapy is just correcting their gay kids.
In the conservative household children do not have agency. They are simply the father's progeny, and are expected to carry on their ideals and generally act in ways that please them.
The parts they skip regarding loving thy neighbor and some part about baring false witness against thy neighbor? The part where Jesus hung out with those who were considered sinners and loved them, he preached to turn to God but he didn’t actively try and fuck them over? How about not worshipping others over God (like Drumpf)? How about the part where it talks about performing how to perform abortion (not the way we should, but it doesn’t list fetuses as being humans to save)? How about the part where God is the one judging humanity (not sure he left a clause allowing humans to pre-judge)?
There’s probably more, but I am not religious. The moral here is, God gets to have say - not bum fucks who interpret his word. Bum fuck’s job is to talk him up on the mortal plane before he gets tired of his science experiments and wipes us all out.
That God hates anything. Literally the entire point of the New Testament is about God’s love. These people aren’t Christian in the slightest if they say that God hates ANYTHING.
I have a flag inside an upstairs window but between the window and the shades so everyone walking down the street can see it. It's been there for over a year. Anybody with a problem will get laughed off the property. Anybody who continues to have a problem will test our Stand Your Ground laws.
It really shows how small minded conservatives are. They have no hobbies or interests other than being obnoxious. I've never seen one of them say anything remotely intelligent and they contribute nothing but pain to civilization. It's unfortunate COVID didn't take more of them out.
I bought a bunch of little pride flags to stick in the ground around the neighborhood and a banner for my front yard when I saw this a couple days ago. Fortunately I live in a great city for queer folk, but you go just a mile north or east of here and it gets ugly pretty fast.
I visited Colorado ~4 years ago. I remember thinking the people in Denver were impressively nice, especially us being from Florida. But, once we got to our Airbnb a few miles outside of the city, things were different. The Airbnb owner, while still nice enough to meet with and welcome us to his property, just had to talk about politics. It was that victim complex where he was being told what to do by the liberals and blah blah blah... One of the ways he was getting back at them was by encouraging all visitors to feed the wild deer, something that was allegedly made illegal by liberals to control him. Maybe he thought we would care about his politics and even agree with him because we were light-skinned from Florida, I was in the military, and my traveling partner was a cop, but we had far left political views and never asked him to begin with. It made us not want to talk to him anymore.
Yeesh. Colorado has a lot of rural space with a lot of folks who think like that. The borders between the liberal city/college types and the MAGA country types can be pretty thin.
We have One Particular Family who ran Trump and Tina Peters campaign yard signs for months back in the day, but who have conspicuously shut the fuck up since all the convictions and such. Their back yard butts up to public space where I plan on dropping at least one. I won't mess with their private property, but I will put a flag down behind their house.
The email also included a video sermon from a disgraced pastor titled "God Hates Flags," a name that shares a striking similarity to the "God Hates F***" slogan used by the bigoted members of the Westboro Baptist Church.
A church that claims "god hates"? Desecrating heretics.
Title made it sound like you're allowed to burn every pride flag in sight. So yeah, I thought that was always allowed. You could set fire to your own belongings, what's new?
