If they were in the middle east they would be Muslim. These people did not choose Christianity from a multiple choice option. They were led down a path. If they lived in a different area they would have been led down a different path and the end result would remain the same, just with a different name.
The politically, religiously, economically, and socially dominate people love to act like they're being persecuted. Fucking idiots every single conservative Christian. I'm going up go further since I'm half a beer in, all Christians in the West.
I'm pretty sure it's a reference to molesting kids.
"Yeah I know what the church did and it doesn't bother me in the least. If those kids didn't want to be molested, they shouldn't have been near priests."
And the lord SAID-AH. Do not feast upon the tuna salad! (AMEN!) Do not FEAST-AH upon the devils nigiri! Do not be TUNA SHAMED!
(Overly energetic song about Jesus fighting tunas here)
Is there the same insecurity shown with lgbt/trans with various flags and symbols? I'm not trying to be inflammatory about the morality of either but I see similarities in symbology. One half of culture sees it as normal, the other half sees it as not for them. Both have been persecuted or treated differently at points in history. Just interesting to see it though they are very different in many other ways.
LGBT community generally gets shamed for existing, Christians generally get shamed because they shame others for existing.
Christians have a persecution complex despite being one of the biggest religions in the world and being largely unpersecuted, LGBT groups are actively persecuted throughout the world.
LGBT groups have no choice in being the way they are, Christians do.
LGBT groups show pride to fight actual persecution, Christians use pride to battle make-believe persecution.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, βPut out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.β
Simon answered, βMaster, weβve worked hard all night and havenβt caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.β
When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
