God made gay people. God made gay penguins and animals of all varieties. The only indication from God that gay is bad is from the fallible hands of man interpreting his words.
I don’t think God will be upset.
I feel pretty confident that if there is a god and it is just, then sexual orientation doesn’t even register as a concern. I say this as someone who has been outside recently and seen actual problems.
Outside? In this economy?
It was hot inside and I knew I could hide in the freezer section at the gross n grow
If there was a god and they were just genocides wouldn’t exist.
It’s the classics! If everything is Jahve’s will, so is suffering. If it is allowing it to happen, it’s evil and shouldn’t be worshipped; if it can’t prevent it from happening, it’s not Jahve. And Jahve will understand and be always merciful to the just, since if it doesn’t, it’s also evil and not worth worshipping
You are right I think their god might be a gay penguin
God made people Adam and Eve ate the apple when tempted by Satan thus introducing original sin Animals do not have a rational soul like we do, as they were not made in His image.
God also made the apple, Satan, and sin, in full knowledge of what would occur in Eden.
He’s kind of a jerk
Why did god make such a trap and place it within reach of his pets? Seems like really shitty pet ownership. This is the moral equivalent of having a pet rabbit and having ivy within nibble reach and then blaming the rabbit for eating the ivy.
we arent his “pets”, and we have a rational soul, so thats a false equivalence
How was it possible to have this “rationalness” prior to consuming from the tree of knowledge? They simply wouldn’t know any better and have no concept of consequences. How can you actually reason without knowing shit? Sure, god told them they would die, but how would they even know what death means? The humans had no prior experience with death up to this point! No human/thing had ever died, it was just them. It would be super abstract. Ever explained death to a child without actually showing them something dead?
And how else would you describe a lesser being kept in a curated garden? Pet seems like an extremely apt term.
Also none of this excuses the omnipotent and omniscient being from being a shitty owner. Why even make the tree if they knew humans were gonna fuck with it? Were they incapable of seeing this possible future? If eating that fruit was original sin, that’s a complete abdication of responsibility for: 1) creating the damn tree, 2) putting it in the garden where the human critters can get to it, and 3) creating a literal agent to psyop the humans into eating it. What a colossal fuck up for an all-powerful, all-knowing god. And that’s being generous. A more balanced take is that god is fucking evil for stacking the deck against humanity and then blaming them for it, knowing full well what was going to happen.
knowledge ≠ rationalness and it wasnt PHYSICAL death, it was spiritual death.
God created satan as an angel of light, but he was corrupted by sin, especially the sin of pride
Lucifer had the audacity to talk back and have a different idea than his father, so he was kicked out… Forever.
Kicking out family for not doing what you personally want, then being angry that a bunch of the rest of the family decides to start ignoring you as they also do their own thing. One of the most narcissistic things you could do.
That’s one of the most Christian things I’ve ever seen. There’s no hate like Christian “love”.
But it’s all fake stories anyway so it doesn’t really matter. Even if it did… The Bible doesn’t mention Lucifer being cast out at all… The Isaiah 14 passages usually referenced for that actually reference the King of Babylon.
The story of Lucifer Morningstar being cast out of heaven actually comes from the epic poem Paradise Lost, written in 1667 by John Milton.
So if you believe that story then you would have to consider John Milton in 1667 to be equivalent to the various Councils of Nicaea deciding on what would be included in the Bible.
Satan had the audacity to try to stab his father and steal the kingdom of Heaven, got cast down to the abyss
Revelation 12:7-9
knowledge ≠ rationalness and it wasnt PHYSICAL death, it was spiritual death.
You didn’t answer the question. How can you reason without knowledge? How could adam and eve have rational souls before eating from the tree that gave them knowledge and before truly understanding the consequences?
God created satan as an angel of light, but he was corrupted by sin, especially the sin of pride
But god knew this was going to happen, right? Is god incapable of creating sinless beings? Is sin more powerful than god? Because it seems like shoddy craftsmanship to create something with a fatal flaw.

What is a rational soul and why don’t animals have them?
a soul that can choose between Good and evil, nonhumans werent created in the image of God, so they dont have it
What God says is evil in the Bible is not in actuality evil, especially considering that the God of the Bible is evil.
You can’t divide morality in only good and evil. That’s dumb.
sorry, I oversimplified it
So is evil defined by intention? Gay penguins aren’t evil because they aren’t choosing to be gay?
Evil is defined by God (in Bible).
So… being gay is evil, being disobedient to parents is evil, being Hindi is evil, and so on.
It’s pretty detached from “evil” as it is known today (or then for that matter).
they simply do not have a rational soul.
I’m not so sure humans do either given the state of the world
What apple?
My user tag for you is absolutely on point, not gonna share what it is though because it’d lessen the effect somewhat.
Anyway, your inability to use basic grammar and punctuation is just so fucking perfect for the idiocy of what you write. And you not realising what an absolute fool you show everyone you are makes it even better, top tier schadenfreude.

Having shit stolen from you when you’re supposedly all powerful. That’s just sad.
Christians. Making God seem like a massive asshole for millennia.
And God not smiting them.
Maybe “he” is an asshole.
TBF if you’ve read any of the old testament, god is a total asshole and always was.
My favorite story from the Bibble is when during the march of the
penguinsHebrews to Canaan, the Hebrews got hungry and whiney. I would likely feel the same taking 40 years to get out of the desert (biblical numerology meaning why the fuck are we still in the desert Moses how do you get lost when you can see the sea and only have to march 450ish miles (at an ungenerous 5 miles per day that takes 3 months)). So YHWH sent them magical floor-bread every night. Then the Hebrews collectively rejected the concept of divine floor-bread and demanded holy floor-meat. So YHWH sent so many quail quesadillas to the Hebrew invasion march that they (and this imagery is part of the Bibble) were so full of quail that it came out their noses. I think the version I read first time said they ate quail until they vomited out they nose, all of them did it’s in numbers. At… I can’t remember the supposed numbers of the mythical march out of Egypt but let’s say 50k-100k people (per tribe? Idk just multiply by 12 I ain’t being paid to be a calculator right now) that’s so much vomit.Goofy ol YHWH. Act like you don’t like his magic floor bread and he’ll send quails to run around in your sinuses or whatever.
So the quail thing almost sounds like a badly translated saying or folk term. Like raining cats and dogs for comparison.
Yeah but it’s a great saying. I’m full up to my nose of this food I ate so much.
Oh most certainly I’m just pointing out that Bible literalism dies on the throne of ancient culture, another one is forty days and forty nights most likely just means a long time.
As you noted it’s still got a enough kick to it that you could revive it easily.
It’s not God’s job to smite assholes. Not a Christian btw.
Yeah he much prefers to fuck with random dudes, see the book of Job for further reference.
Again, not a Christian. As far as Christianity is considered, I see the son as the closest to God, definitely not the father.
Yeah yeah we know it’s yours and your pet dragon
Minions ! Tonight we steal… the Rainbow !
What DOES God need with a
starshiprainbow anyway?The one scene from the movie why I can’t dislike it.
This and some of the physical comedy makes me chuckle. I’m a simple person.
Isn’t the rainbow a promise that god wouldn’t kill a lot of people in the future? Seems like god gave the rainbow to just the right people.
The promise was He wouldn’t kill them by flood.
He will kill all of them when Jesus returns, though… by fire, plague, giant man-faced scorpions, and so on.
God moves in mysterious ways like Kinky Steve at the BDSM club.
Can I quote you on this one? You worded it perfectly
Like how coyote stole fire
That was coyote? I’ve been blaming my cat.
It might have been gayote. idk.
Obligatory Dan Hentschel post
God gave humanity the rainbow, we’ll do what we want with it.
Why would they care about he rainbow when they do only black and and white thinking?
It is the big gay fault the straights black and white think. If the straights still had a rainbow
Fun fact: the rainbow is seven colors, the pride flag is six (It lacks indigo).
The color Indigo does not exist. It is a deep state plot to get us to like people named Roy
God’s rainbow was different, it had a gradient like all those fucking apps with shitty AI integration
eww eww uugh the red-blue mixing sucks so bad have they never heard of colors before???
Very common problem.
Computer Color is Broken - minutephysics (04:14)
TL;DW: Most software is too lazy to correct gamma.Yes, Photoshop and GIMP can correct it before blending colors but I don’t think most SVG renderers handle gradients correctly. They could add one or more intermediate colors but every byte counts if you’re a AAA frontend dev.
yeah i know, gamma is the initial of my middle name
You’re Greek? Or Eastern Slavic? (the Cyrillic Ge looks the same in uppercase)
Wrong, we stole it from a leprechaun’s pot of gold.
With a little help from a slightly… unhinged barbarian, of course.Like cauldron pot or weed pot, because I’ve had some joints that shit rainbows out of them
Prometheus brings fire to humanity, painting
We stole the rainbow like Prometheus stole fire from the gods.
Pronountheus? Maybe Polymetheus? Hmm
I think he was named well
