might be right, might be wrong, but I'll be fucked if I take my news from a bunch of christofascist vegetables.
THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ARMS!
They don't have arms so they can't self-pleasure (it is a "sin")
Which means they can only pleasure each other.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
yeah they're left with mouths, vaginas and anuses AS GOD INTENDED VEG TO BE lol
Confirmed, VeggieTales is anti-2A.
Are we using christofascist as a way to call Christianity fascist now, or did I miss some fascist messaging in VeggieTales?
why not both?
Well, if you wanna call the religion evil, you do you I guess, but at least be accurate about it. The Bible doesn't condone fascism (in fact, much of the point of the New Testament is that laws are not the way to save people,) so using christofascist as a term to refer to Christianity in general is diluting the definition of fascism. If you wanna use that term to refer to the people who use Christian branding as an excuse to push fascist laws, that's fine, just don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
All it condones is slavery, incest, murder, the divine right to rule and a theocratic state, and the genocide of all non-Jewish people in Israel. Not fashy at all.
Slavery: Not condoned, not condemned, just regulated. See here for details. But that's a fair argument to make.
Incest: Only condoned in the early generations of humanity when it was necessary, directly condemned afterwards. I guess I can see how you'd be confused if you heard about it secondhand, but any familiarity with the cases in question ought to show this. Incest in and of itself (discounting other problems like rape and pedophilia it tends to coincide with) is a problem primarily because it leads to a higher incidence of genetic defects, and there were no genetic defects in the first batch of humans as God created them perfectly.
Murder: Obviously against the ten commandments. I don't know what you're talking about. Is it the death penalty? Are you trying to gish gallop me? I don't mind answering your points, but I'd appreciate it if you be more specific so I don't have to guess what you're referring to in order to address it.
Divine right: In the strictest sense, that God gives authorities their right to rule, sure, but they're not above accountability like divine right typically says. The Bible says to follow the laws of men only where they do not conflict with the laws of God.
Genocide: That's a tricky one, where the Israelites were to wipe out the Canaanites. I don't have a good answer for it. What I do know is that God's judgment is righteous, and that this one case is not justification for genocides at human convenience (though non-Christians might interpret it that way, including but not limited to a certain state. I'm not defending them.)
Also, just so we're clear, incest is gross, but it's not fascist.
If that helps you sleep at night.
You might want to read the actual Biblical text of the "Ten" Commandments. They aren't what Sunday School told you they were.
Exodus 20:2-17? Deuteronomy 5:6-21? They're exactly what Sunday School told me they were (and what I've found through reading the Bible on my own,) and there are exactly 10. Is there supposed to be some kind of gotcha there? "You shall not murder" is written there plain as day. What are you trying to say?
Are you trying to draw attention to the fact that God's judgment is fearsome? Because that's a thing, God is both fearsome and forgiving. His wrath is justified because His judgment is unerring, while we shouldn't pass judgment because we are flawed. His forgiveness is offered because He doesn't want to see us go to Hell, while many do anyways because they don't accept it.
I guess a lot of people try to sugercoat the Bible and downplay God's judgment because it's not fun to tell people hard truths, but that's not a fair portrayal, and it can lead to crises of faith when people have an image of a super chill pacifist God and then read about things like Noah's ark.
pffft endorsed in the bible is a funny way to put 'secondhand' lol
thank you, I will.
