She used to have another video on this that sparked quite a bit of controversy, but she deleted it and make a “revised” edition. Alright, I’m going to have fun with this. What I’m going to do is, I’ll type the statement that I’m replying to in italics and my response will be in bold.
Hey Everybody: Fuck you.
I feel that I missed a few keypoints: Fuckin’ shit! There’s more “points” you would like to make?
All sin is equal: I have no idea how you can put murder and sex “the wrong way” on the same pedestal. In a strictly Christian world, a serial killer and a man who had feelings of love for another man would be punished in the same way, by your bullshit logic. How is this considered ok to believe? Your an example of how destructive Christianity is to the world.
I know a lot of you are upset because I have different opinions: No, that’s not why we’re upset. We’re upset because YOU are the god (irony) damned reason why there isn’t equality in this world. If you said that you liked pink and not purple, no one would care. It’s not just because of a difference in opinions- it’s because your depriving the world of seeing peace and equality.
I earnestly pray that all the people find the love that God has for you: Feel free to stop lying at anytime. Your made up God doesn’t love atheists, gays, Muslims, Hindus, etc. Now, you may say that that’s not true and that God may dislike certain acts, but he loves everyone. How is that possible? Let’s pretend for a second that God is my father. Let’s say my father God. Now, he loves me, of course- he’s my dad! But let’s say that I’m gay and have a boyfriend that I want to get married to. My dad doesn’t like this act, so if I decide to make my own decisions and marry him, my dad sends me off to be tortured not for a day, not for a year, not for 100, not for a million, but for the rest of all eternity! I would pretty much say that my Dad hates me. This also brings me to another point. What point does it serve to have someone tortured for the rest of eternity? That does nothing at all. They get tortured, they genuinely learn their lesson, but they never have a chance to try things over again? How is this smart in the slightest? If humans are such imperfect beings, isn’t it expected for a lot of people to stray from God’s word? For goodness sake, he doesn’t even come down here to say hi.
If you are a Christian, that probably means that you agree with what the bible has to say: Now, that’s just dangerous. The literal truth of the bible? Do you have any idea what’s in there? Tolerance for slavery, sending your daughter out to get raped, planning to kill your son as a sacrifce to God, destruction of the world many times over because of God’s anger management problems, a 6,000 year old world, turning people into salt JUST for looking back, raping your father, kill an animal for being raped by a human, etc. How can you believe in all of this? It kind of clashes with having a loving God, don’t you think? D: . I don’t understand how you accept this. Don’t even get me started with the story of Noah or Jonah and the Whale. Can you say “impossible”?
You don’t just pick and choose what you with to believe: Yes, actually a lot of Christians do. If we didn’t consider many of these fucked up stories at metaphors, we would have a horrible, horrible world. I don’t understand how you can HONESTLY believe most of these bible stories.
That would be hypocritical: You’re telling me that you’ve never been jealous of something someone else had? Ever? That’s what I thought. Hypocrisy!
You do not want to accept the lifestyle by granting the marriage: You know that if we allow gay marriage, you don’t have to get married to a girl. It’s not required in the slightest. If you want to marry a guy, marry a guy. If you don’t want it to affect you, it doesn’t have too. I’m sure your god won’t torture you for not being able to stop the entire LGBT and LGBT-supporting community. And why is the rest of the world subject to your religion?
You can find proofs to back this up as God finds it wrong in Geneisis, which is the first book of the bible in the first testament: If someone doesn’t even know what Genesis is, do you honestly think that they’re going to automatically buy into your bible? If I belong to a religion called Hoobloofongdong, and the first story in our holy book, the Gingoowanaka, says that you need to ram your head into a wall in order to be considered holy, would you ram your head into a wall? No.
Men started lusting after other men: Let’s not forget that this is where Lot offered up his daughters to be raped by the mob.
He did not make Adam and Steve- he made Adam and Eve: Clever! Did you make that one up on your own? No. Anywho, another example of your stupidity for believing in this story literally. Even if it was true, he still fucked up big time judging by how homosexuality has been observed in over 1500 different species.
…Completely illogical: Please find a way to prove how the bible is logical, and then come talk to me about logic.
Why do you call yourself a Christian? Because you believe in God? Well, actually, there are different types of Christians. They’re not all like you. There’s such thing as Cultural Christians, that maybe don’t base their lives on the bibles, but they believe that Jesus Christ is the messiah and whatnot.
Where are your standards of morality coming from? : Good god. I knew you would try to bring this up. Morality does not come from the Bible. How do I know this? One, if it was truly The Bible that taught us not to kill, not to steal, etc. where would we be as humans? We would have destroyed each other by the time Abraham or Jesus came ’round. Two, morality couldn’t have come from the bible, because a lot of people who believe in the bible, choose to not abide by certain laws. As in killing a child that disrespects their child and things like that. You have to refer to another source of rules and morals to exclude things from the bible, which you claim to be the original source of morality. I don’t understand, assuming that God does exist, why he would give other animals basic morals, but not us.
The Earth is a sinful nation: Do I even need to explain this? I guess I do. “Nation- a politically organized body of people under a single government.” Is that the world you live in? No. Thanks for trying.
If you simply believe in God, that doesn’t mean you’re a Christ-follower: Dear, you’re going to have to specify which god you’re talking about. Because the Mayans believed in God, but guess what! It wasn’t your God.
..that tells you everything you need to know: The bible isn’t a fucking owner’s manual. It’s a collection of stories that try to reinstate morals that already existed and give fucked up morals as well. It doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about life. Where’s the chapter of Cardiology?
The government doesn’t need to be involved: I hate to say it, but they actually kind of do. With things like life insurance and wills and things like that, people will step in and claim that they were given money, land, etc from the deceased person. Someone needs to help control it.
But since they are, marriage should maintain a holy bonding between man and woman: Really? Just like fucking that? The government shouldn’t be involved at all. It’s wrong, blah blah blah BUT SINCE THEY ARE, we should keep it like this? I’m sorry, that just doesn’t go right in my head o.O
Because the feeling is lost- that is terrible! : Babe, have you ever been in love? Probably, but I’m making any bets that anyone has ever loved you. Anyways, have you ever loved someone so much and it felt like you could be with them forever? Well, sometimes people don’t spend 3 years with them before marrying them. People make mistakes, and sometimes, love goes away. The moment you stop loving someone, the promise is already broken. So why not leave?
That’s breaking a promise, breaking a commitment: Have you ever made a promise to someone, and later found it impossible to keep? The same mentality should be applied.
But if you just get tired of one another and wish to see other people: You know what happens when two people who are tired of each other are forced to stay together? Hostility begins growing. And don’t think that that’s just going to disappear overnight.
Foolish causes: Foolish? Back to the dictionary! “Foolish- devoid of good sense or judgment” I don’t see anything about Christian standards. An example of foolish would be divorcing someone because of the color of the sky. Leaving someone because you don’t love them anymore, is not foolish. Maybe by your standards, but let’s not forget that the world isn’t subject to your religion. Also, I would like to add that other religions perform marriages also. And some religions don’t mind divorces. Please realize that “foolish” isn’t about your religion.
If you have sex before marriage, you’re sinning: Now, I know there’s nothing I can do to change your opinion about this, but I just wanted to point out that I disagree with this. Religious differences, obviously. But I believe in indulgence, rather than restrictions of things that would make one happy. Don’t get me wrong, I even put limits on that. I’m not usually up for a good gang bang and things like that. I don’t want any STD’s. If I were to have sex before marriage, it would be with someone I trusted.
You’ll, you’ll get in trouble: What? Can you not tell us that we’re going to be tortured for eternity? Is that not too much for you? But even if you’re not talking about that, and we’re going by the other example you gave, just because you have sex with someone before marriage, doesn’t mean that you’re going to be emotionally scarred for life.
Many say that there is a gay gene that causes people to be gay: I don’t believe that there is a specific gene for homosexuality because that would most likely mean that if could be heretic. But I do believe that it has something to with a different chemical composition. Maybe, an increase in estrogen- I don’t know! But it sure as hell isn’t a obvious choice. No one would CHOOSE to be ridiculed by society for their life, let down their parents, and lose all their friends.
God is perfect: No, your god is not a perfect being. He has major anger management problems, supports slavery, he’s a sexist, can’t accept free choice, forces people to worship him, expects everyone to believe in him when he won’t even come down here. Doesn’t sound very perfect to me.
God knows everything: He KNEW that he was going to be killed upon the cross? Well, then why the hell are a lot of people blaming the Jews? IT WAS HIS PLAN. He knew that Eve would eat the apple? He chose to condemn us to original sin from the get go?
God wouldn’t create someone who was born gay because that would be saying that he’s being hypocritical which would be imperfect: God wants everyone to be Christian, so he lets Jewish, Muslim, LaVeyan Satanist, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic, etc parents all have children? Why doesn’t he make children born Christian? Because that’s not very fair for a child that’s never been exposed to any religion besides one other than Christianity to go to hell. He created everyone with sin before he put himself up on a cross. Humans became imperfect when Adam and Eve ate the fruit, right? Well, don’t you think God could have just reversed that? Surely he could realize that just because one of my ancestors was a bank robber, doesn’t mean that I should go to hell D: .
They might be more inclined to be homosexuals because of their background, because of abusive relationships, etc, etc. : Ok. Wow. So you’re telling me that every homosexual, has had one of these things happen to them? My friend is gay. Heterosexual parents, was always closer to his dad, and was an only-child. He had never had a boyfriend or girlfriend before coming out, his background would of made him lean more towards heterosexuality. But he turned out gay! How? Everything pointed towards him liking girls. Big sports guy, pretty big guy, was always the cool kid with girls always lusting after him.
There isn’t a stealing gene: Making a decision to steal, and enjoying having sex with the same sex are two COMPLETELY different things. I don’t even know if I should argue this, because this is just pitiful. I’m not going to say that it’s ALL in the DNA and everything, but it’s definitely not a conscious choice. Stealing is. http://www.narth.com/docs/coll-harren.html
I would really like this to be an example of how fucked up the world seems to be right now. There are people who actually think like this, and it’s my opinion, that they’re holding everyone back from so many opportunities. Be reminded that we are not subject to their religion and we should do everything we can to fight it off. If you enjoyed this response/blog let me know through a comment.
