You know, if youre gonna be this pathetic we should be able to exile you to an island.
If this works, is it not precedent to make the same complaint every time I see a cross?
Or see “god” anywhere.
Why do so many right-wing Christians sound like the villain from a Criminal Minds episode?
Like...this MFer thinks he has a right to make other people not exist for his comfort. Fucking psycho when you dig into it.
His faith must be weak for it to be shaken so easily.
He's not wrong, which is why we should not acknowledge or grant any privileges to any religion. Practice what you want but you should get no special privilege or consideration.
Meanwhile my church:
(ALT: The words "The Episcopal Church" in white above a variation of a shield graphic that has a blue field in the upper left with a series of white crosses forming an X shape; pink, blue, brown, black diagonal stripes on the right; the classic Pride rainbow colors of purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red forming the remaining sections with a white cross holding them all together)
EDIT: I tried to use a spoiler tag/format but I apparently suck at that. Sorry. Don't sue me!
If I exercise my free speech in the woods with no one around to hear it, is it free speech?
Forcing me to see a crosses and churches on my drive to work violate my religious beliefs all.
It must be hard to be this fragile little bitch of a bigot.
Ya know....I really hate that people use the term "snowflake" to describe soft sensitive people. My logic is simple. When I grew up, I was taught that snowflakes were unique and beautiful. Individually a work of art on their own or can work together to form something greater.
I don't want that beautiful word to describe these foul creatures.
Instead I suggest they are called "little bitches". Use that term instead of snowflakes from now on.
Agree.
Rotten Shitbag could also work.
Hey, rotten shitbags probably melt eventually too
Jet fuel melts rotten shitbags!
I'm pretty sure people started calling conservatives snowflakes when conservatives used it to bitch about participation trophies and that kinda stuff. So it's use it's use is a critique of conservatives using it for absurd things when they themselves are so sensitive to a lot of things.
Oh, yeah, I get the orgin. I still don't like it.
Pride also is notably not a religious belief. Its a belief in fundamental human rights and equality under the law.
If my religion was that "all government is evil" then there's no amount of government that would not offend my sensibilities. Notably a lot if "sovereign citizens" believe exactly this and happen to be religious christians.
This should be treated with even more ridicule than sovereign citizen beliefs because this is being offended by a belief specifically opposed to the equality of the law.
Christians are so god damned annoying. Why can’t they all just fuck off? Keep their superstition in their conditioning centers, and out of public life. Their fervor is pathetic, but the results they achieve with such animosity damages society in ways that cannot easily be rolled back, if at all.
Fuck ‘em all.
Because their fundamentalist religion is based on oppression and conversion. Crusades and all that.
I used to have to drive past this fucking thing on my way to work. We banning those too?
having to see a Progress Pride flag … forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin”
If it only was that easy to get people to celebrate, recognize, and solemnize gay sex, world would be a better place no doubt.
Maybe this guy really likes flags
I feel the same every time I see a cross, where's my compensation?
I will bet all of you $100 each that this man also has a Grindr account.
Hell, I’d be willing to lose $100 just to make him mad.
then avert your eyes and turn the cheek.
And not a single person has complained about being “forced” to see all the churches he also goes past.
So yes, but also this is slightly different than that. It's about the department itself flying the flag. Still absolutely insane, but slightly less insane than that. The end result, if this person wins, is literally no flags or any other messaging. "My religion doesn't support nationalism." This would also include extreme stances like "my religion doesn't support the periodic table" or things like that.
Waiting for the precedent so the Church of Satan can abuse the fuck out of it to start forcing churches into seclusion
Religion has no more validity than any other work of fiction or any other fandom. There, I fucking said what we are all thinking.
Next up, someone suing because someone is displaying merch from a rivaling sports team
I've got an NCR flag in front of my house. It would actually be hilarious if some dude in Roman legion garb came to my house and demanded I take it down.
He should adhere to the words of his supposed god, specifically “if your eye offends you, pluck it out.” Don’t like seeing the pride flag? Don’t fucking look at it.
"Liberty Counsel" isn't a very good name for an organization that seeks to restrict the ability for individuals to freely express themselves.
All the right-wing organizations are named in doublespeak like that. Being dishonest is core to their ideology.
Spotted the Christian destined for Hell.
I'm never going to understand people, of any religion or political affiliation, who honestly think they have some kind of right to be free from offense.
Grow the fuck up. Your neighbors' enjoyment of some dick doesn't affect you in any meaningful way.
It does affect them because they are always thinking about their neighbour's dick 24/7.
Dipshits like this are why Jesus said most people don't even have the faith of a mustard seed. Or how Saint Paul called Christians milk drinking babies incapable of digesting solid food.
