    Am a bunch of those. I think if god exists we’d be cool.

    ETA: also sounds like mostly a bunch of people I wouldn’t mind getting to know 😉

    Any Christian that doesn’t live by Jesus’ two most important COMMANDMENTS, is a fake Christian in my book and I’m an atheist.

      For context, those being, if I recall correctly, in no particular order, as they’re both the co-greatest commandments:

      a) Love God (that is, what created everything, so you might as well interprete it as loving the universe)

      b) Love thy neighbour

      essentially just a form of the golden … rule

      I don’t think I’ve ever met a Christian who lived even remotely by the commandments. That’s why they have that crazy-ass clause that you can repent and accept Jesus on your deathbed and go to heaven. They are all fake; most of the actual differences are in intent.

        Most are fake I agree. That’s why I left the church. I will say there are a few good ones, but IMO there are way more “Christians.”

          Guy I know married a preacher’s daughter. He was ‘convinced’ to take an active role in the church. Jumped through all the hoops, did all the studying. Marriage kinda fell apart after a number of years but he was still in the church. At some point, the ‘inner circle’ stopped caring and started throwing around racism and bigotry behind closed doors, so he walked away. TBF the least corrupted church I ever attended was run by a Lesbian couple. Nicest people on the face of the earth. The congregation was pretty much of the mind that gay is fine, but there were still a number of people there questionable on race and other attributes.

          Seems like there are just some evolutionary ties to exclusionism that humans are shit at getting past.

    Oh shit, I didn’t read the overall message at first and thought hell yeah, I’m a bunch of these things.

    But they’re anti-these things, so fuck them.

    I want to make mostly the same sign but with the opposite message.

    e: also, pencil neck weak kneed gutless men are my jam. Plus long haired freaky people. They can apply.

    The person holding that sign probably fits into 3-4 categories on it.

    It’s crazy how deranged right wingers constantly make the left look so fucking rad. I want to live in a world where the actual DNC behaves like the boogeyman DNC that they made up in their heads.

    For most of those groups, the stage will be absolutely packed. It’ll be like seeing Arcade Fire times ten.
