then hes not christian

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

At this point, if you're a Christian it's not unfair to just assume that you're a pedophile

Same applies to all other religions, it's not as if this isn't happening in, say, Muslim or Hindu circles

Gotta love religions

You gotta like technology to nab these sick bastards. Throw the damn key away when he walks into his cell.

God has an oddly ironic and dark sense of humor, I'd be worried that heaven is a massive monkeypaw situation.

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Biblically accurate heaven is literally you spending every moment on your knees in prayer forever. Does that count as a monkey paw?

When's the last time a Drag Queen hurt anybody? I don't remember any incidents.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

June 28, 1969 Marsha and a few friends really hurt the fee fees of some fascist losers by having the audacity to stand up for themselves.

Thats the only thing I can come up with.

Rest in power Marsha.

2008, Hess Village, a drag queen told me "you know clothes come in colours now, right?" It wasn't even part of a set — I was just walking on the sidewalk.

[–] emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Hess village in hamilton? Thats your problem, its the people who go to hess, not drag queens specifically that are the issue.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Is there any other? As someone who used to go there, I can confirm I was also on occasion the issue.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

of course they do. that's why I wear two of them - one colour for my pants, and one colour for my shirt

nothing too bright, of course

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I believe in democracy. We should have Drag Presidents or Drag Prime Ministers instead IMO.

Most famous one I have in recent memory was Sherry Pie, lied to a bunch of young gay men saying he was auditioning for something and coerced them into recording themselves doing sexual actions.

Not the worst thing in the world but still is a pretty awful thing to do to others

Edit; probably important to note that he did this out of drag, his drag persona was not involved at all (iirc)

So this guy faced 8 counts, with a maximum sentence of 10 years each. He pled guilty to 2 counts in exchange for getting the other six dropped. he's gonna go for some psych evaluation, maybe spend some time in jail, maybe not. He left his cushy gig, but I'm sure in a few months he will go on a public speaking tour about how repentant he is, the board will talk about how God always gives second chances, and he'll get back pretty much everything.

Meanwhile, there are immigrants who are being tossed out of the country by this administration for much more minor offenses committed 10 or 20 years ago (which they already paid the price for). They have been following all the rules since then, and now we decide we don't want them here anymore, and they lose everything they built here.

I think our values are all out of whack here.

Conservative Christianity is the most glaring sign that someone is likely a pedophile. I'm not surprised in the slightest.

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

surprise, surprise

at this point I'm just waiting for that Australian org that's currently making a stink about porn games to be revealed to be run by a bunch of pedos.

Is there a slur for christians? There really needs to be one

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I propose 'Crossies', since they worship their dead idol on the cross.

I knew exactly where this was going. It's like these people all have something in common....

There is so much variety in pornography available in the world today, why of all things would you delve in to that genre as a conservative Christian. Why are they never like, tree fucking priests? It's always the kids!

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Seriously, it's not impossible to reprogram ones own brain. It ain't easy. It takes hard work and therapy, but it is possible to unfuck oneself. I can't accept that pedos are incapable of change.

https://julieroys.com/former-ceo-my-faith-votes-charged-possession-child-sex-abuse-material/

...according to a probable cause statement filed in the case, the former CEO, Jason Yates, has a prior conviction for a similar charge, which was expunged.

The organization in question's top news item is apparently complaining about pedophiles:

https://www.myfaithvotes.org/

So-Called 'Equality Act' Could Undo Free Speech, Mandate Murder Of Unborn Children, Make Pedophiles A 'Protected Class'

A bill positioned as the "Equality Act" is gradually moving its way through Congress, and is designed to "crush moral decency and religious freedom beneath the feet of the radical LGBT & Q lobby," says experts.

That's actually kind of impressive.

I think this might be apropos here:

Matthew 7:3-5:

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?  How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?  You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

The Pope looked smug. It was the Protestants this time around.

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Wew, thank god we have people pushing against immoral video games and books, that'll help protect kids from actual christian pedophiles. /s

[–] Nualkris@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Not a drag queen (probably), not a teans person...

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Just like anyone with a brain would expect from the cult 🥳
