What on earth is happening??

How dare that racist bigot pray in the presence of other people! He is forcing his religion on other people! All they stand for is violence like back in the Crusades. The Old Testament proves their bigoted hateful beliefs. They are evil people who can do no good! ..........
DISCLAIMER. The above is just emphasizing Socrates point and a mix of what I read in various comment sections. (And yes, all manner of sarcasm is included.)

Good picture Socrates. It pretty much sums up the reality of the issue.

That's a really good point! We should be careful when extrapolating general patterns from particular incidents.

there is no irony... thats like the dumbasses who claim "reverse racism", it is perfectly rational to hate racists.

if those christians are bigoted homophobic freaks, then yea...
and given that the foundation of all abrahamic religions is bigotry and anti-intellectualism, its not irrational neither.

In other words, it's okay to be bigoted towards other people, as long as you call them the "bigots"

if you dont agree with the basis of a religion, maybe you shouldnt be a part of that religion.

I think I see what you're getting at. It's like you're saying that if I disagree with being bigoted, why should I be part of a religion that you say is bigoted.

But firstly, just because you claim that Abrahamic religions are "bigoted" (not sure what that word means to you, exactly), that doesn't mean I agree with your definition.

But even if it were true that Abraham religions were bigoted by their intrinsic nature towards certain people groups, it's still not as self-contradictory as people who claim their be-all and end-all is to be against "bigotry" but then are "bigoted" against whoever they are seeing as "bigots" this month.

Do you see what I mean?

its not just what i say, the old testament takes pride in being bigoted. "jews" that have abandoned all that and only see themselves as "culturally jewish" even get called "self hating", thats how strong the bigotry is.

Sorry, it sounds like you're not getting what I was saying in the second part of my comment above. The Abrahamic religions don't make the claim of "acceptance and love" for all. They don't claim "we're not bigoted." The Abrahamic religions claim to base themselves on a transcendent moral standard revealed by the Creator - and if that standard is seen as "bigoted" in some eras, then so be it.

What I understand the OP meme as doing is showing the hypocrisy of people who claim that "acceptance and love for all" is their standard and at the same time openly show hatred to people who disagree with their standard.

Do you really not see that as hypocritical?

Your analogy of "I don't see gay people saying straight people shouldn't be able to get married" Is just silly.
First, it is the widely accepted norm of the world,
and secondly, its the way things are naturally supposed to be. So theres that.

At least you can see they do go too far. I would say Christians do as well, the only problem with that being the fact that most actually homophobic "christian" groups (such as the people who profess that "God hates gay people") Are not actually Christians, because the idea of God hating anybody is just plain dumb. He sent his son to die for humanity, so what's the point in doing that if you hate them all and are just planning to throw everyone into Hell anyways.

thats why christians catch the most shit, because they do claim that. who are the other people claiming "acceptance and love for all"? never seen an atheist say that... they are evil people who can do no good

OK I didn't see the meme was about atheistic versus monotheistic belief.

I thought it was a critique of people who claim to be for 'acceptance and love' and then their behaviour shows otherwise. Who are they? Usually I identify them with liberals using labels like "bigot" and "bigotry" to bring social pressure against other groups while ignoring their own 'bigotry.'

Oh boy...

I've never met true Christians who hate anyone. Hating the sin isn't hating the person committing the sin. That's where weak-minded people fail.

now that definitely isnt true. you even from texas? fools think its "christian persecution" when they get criticized for hatin. and its not just "hating the sin", a "sin" is just a belief and people always trying to take rights from others because of their beliefs.

And the forced indoctrination of people attending college is what?
And how is that any different than the Black Lives Matter people thinking its racism because people try and stop them from killing and looting.

Well, your argument has some problems still :/
I agree though, you're right, marriage is a human concept, so you got me there.
Interracial marriage is a natural thing. As a african american and a white person and still humans, and have only infinitesimally small differences in genetic makeup, that pretty much makes that argument moot. The difference being, A man and a woman go together, no matter skin color, as that doesn't make any difference at all, whereas, a man and a man, for instance, does not go together in even the slightest way, unless you want to count, how do I say this... Unnatural human desires? I suppose that fits.

No, its not really a NTS fallacy. If it were, there would have to be some portion of the bible that supports, if not no section that rebuffs, acts such as that. An example would be if a portion of the bible said drugs were okay, and a radical group committing atrocities saying that everyone should be forced to take drugs, or something, were to pop up, and then I come along and say, "thats unbiblical", simply because it would damage my view, and the public norm. :P

I know you don't think interracial marriage is bad, I understand what you were trying to do.

Yeah, the analogy was kind of confusing. But first, yet again, like everyone else, I must say it again.
Old Testament=Jews.
New Testament=Christians.

Seriously, how many times do I have to say it. :(

Jesus told us to love the sinner, hate the sin. ie-Show love to the person who is sinning, but at the same time let them know that they will die if they continue on their current path.

How about this analogy.

The bible says that we should proselytize to everyone, but the current social norm says that is wrong. There is a group dedicated to proselytizing to everyone, and that group is hated. I come along, and say that those people are wrong and not following the bible, even though they are, to distance myself from them.
That any better?

Yes, radically homophobic people are bad. And I don't believe they are Christians. They aren't really showing God's love that way. Although nowadays, what with mormons, catholics, protestants, ect, ect, its hard to tell who is a christian. I however, am a Christian even all other "christians", no matter the group, dislike. I am a Word of Faith. Which deals with power of words and using Jesus' name, and such like. Everyone else thinks i'm crazy, especially the catholics (what is with that pope guy anyways, I don't think he even knows the bible at all).

But anyways, i'm glad we could talk so rationally, i've been working on my fire-and-brimstone nature lately, and i'm trying to be less "Your all gonna die if you don't repent" and blunt :3

I find people don't listen to you when you do that. :/

Also, I just want to add, homosexuals can repent, and go to heaven. Although let me define repent- To turn away from, to stop doing what one is doing and to do it another way.
In other words, if a homosexual repents, turns away from homosexuality, yes, they can be saved. The same goes for murderers, lairs, adulterers, athiests, ect.

anti-intellectualism is bigotry, and thinking black lives matter is killing and looting is bigotry.... congrats, you are a piece of shit.

How am I being anti-intellectual... In actuality, it is you who is blinding yourselves to the facts. BLM is a racist group, targeted towards whites, who have many times shown acts of looting, killing people (mostly blacks), and racism under the cover of a "suppressed minority", all while calling successful black people who know that if a black person turned away from the slums he lives in and the violence he does (not saying all black people are like that, but even ones who are) can be successful, and they call those people "uncle toms" and scream white supremacy. If you commit crimes, you will get nowhere. They don't seem to understand that. :/

"forced indoctrination of people attending college is what?" lol
considering education "indoctrination" is anti-intellectual

Although, I must correct myself, BLM is not, in itself, a racist organization, but many of its supporters are thugs, looters, racists, ect. Which kind of ruins it. Besides, Black lives don't matter, ALL lives matter.

LOL you have no evidence for that... you know why? because that is just some bullshit racists like fox news makes up.
the only people who think "all lives matter" is an argument against "black lives matter" just feel threatened by black people who speak out against systemic racism.

if you werent racist and didnt feel threatened you would attack police brutality, not "black lives matter"

Your title says what on earth is happening. And its a star trek meme. Pun intended?

Great catch!

[image deleted]

You hit the nail on the head.

Yep, no double standards there, or nothing!

Christianmemes? Christianmemes, is that you? -_-

-_-

a bird cannot fly with one wing

why cant conservatives and liberals just learn to be accepting OF EACH OTHER

because a majority of so called "conservatives" aren't conservative. they are fascists.

i found a comment like that posted UNSATIRICLY on a conservative face book page

the person had their beard dyed as the confederate flag so ill let you guess where they stand on raicsm XD

(I wonder if he gives the "pride not prejudice" bit to people) LOL

Oh he does lol

hey guys
