The hardest thing to believe about this is the cops taking my side on anything
Cops protect private property, so if the zeitgeist shifts so that fundamentalists with their giant trump crosses are bringing down property values, then yeah, the cops will come hassle them.

“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”
Isn’t it illegal to believe in God in some parts of the world?
And it’s illegal to NOT believe in God in other parts.
In what countries is it illegal to believe in God?
Off the top of my head, I want to say North Korea. It might be the only country.

Hm, it looks like that’s not true. China even officially recognizes Catholicism
It isn’t your belief in a god that is considered hate speech, it is you trying to implement your religious views into laws that is the problem.
The issue here is that they think “The Bible is the word of God and i believe what it says” and “I hate gay people and wish they would all die” mean the same thing.
When the bible is the one saying gay people should die, it kinda does.
The saving grace is that most people who say that don’t actually mean it, as they either haven’t really read it, or have made enough mental gymnastics to ignore the stuff they don’t agree with.
I mean, does it not? Christianity is hateful as fuck when you don’t sugarcoat it.
It does not
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
If the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself, then hate has no place in Christianity.
So, the conclusion then should be that any person hating another person because of whatever and “basing” it on believe/bible is not a christin buy a heretic, right?
Basically, almost all the hateful stuff comes from the old testament, which Jesus went, “That’s invalid now”
Really, it would be a lovely religion without all the people
But, did he?
Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.
I’ve often seen that as a response, when someone claims that Jesus wiped the shitty Old T nonsense away.
That’s the trouble with the bible, it’s a book written by a bunch of men with competing interests over thousands of years ago, and honestly could have used a team of diligent editors, but has been held up as the infallible word of some dude sitting in the clouds.
Fulfill it, as in complete it. It’s done. With his sacrifice he formed a new covenant. He goes on to say that anyone who wants to follow any part of the law of Moses must follow the whole law of Moses*. That means that anyone judging someone for old testament laws is a sinner themselves for eating pork or shrimp, for wearing clothing of mixed fabrics, and 611 other laws that are quite difficult to follow in a modern world.
*Galatians 5:4
Well it was illegal to believe in gods back in the middle ages unless it was the biblical god.
lol, even the “today” panel is an outright lie
How long? Hopefully sooner than later
