The man who claims that 17% of gay men eat feces

Every accusation is a confession

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

17% of gay men eat feces

Why? Are they fond of eating at Golden Corral?

[–] the_toast_is_gone@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

There is hope for everyone to get to Heaven, but by no means should we on Earth be making pronouncements on which specific people are in Hell. That's way above our paygrade and I'm happy to keep it that way. People like this just make all Christians look stupid.

[–] nehal3m@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago (3 children)

There is a list of people I expect to be there. If the most heinous examples of total pieces of shit known to humanity are not in hell then the term is meaningless. Not that there is any evidence to support its existence.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Agreed. The OP comment suggests it's above my pay grade to suggest Hitler would go to hell if it exists, which is just baffling.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Infinite punishment can never be just for anything done in a finite time, no matter how henious.

Not that I'm saying hell or heaven exists, but if hell were truly eternal, it couldn't be just even towards to worst of the worst.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How could anyone even know hell is infinite? Humans have been around, what, ~10k years? ~6k years of you're a young earth creationist. Six million life sentences (call it a hundred years) wouldn't even have begun to be complete.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm just going by the commonly accepted canon. Perhaps a temporary hell would work, maybe, though that concept already exists in Christianity as purgatory which is not commonly thought to be the same thing.

From an actual christian viewpoint, it is. "Vengeance is mine (alone)"

Edit: Actually, a reference isn't hard to come by, so https://biblehub.com/niv/romans/12.htm

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I genuinely have no desire to read Bible references at this point in my life.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Didn't Hell get made up relatively recently, like only 200 years ago? OG Christianity was all about everyone getting into heaven.

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Nah, it’s in the Bible though it isn’t called “Hell.” I vaguely remember a specific verse referring to the place prepared for the devil and his demons or something like that. Also there are Hebrew references to “Sheol” that some interpret as Hell.

Also even if it were more recent than the Bible itself, 200 years ago was the 1820s. Martin Luther grew up terrified of Hell as it was preached by the Roman Catholic Church in the late 1400s/early 1500s. And Dante’s Inferno was written in the 1300s.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah even Judaism splits the afterlife up into “hells”. And the New Testament mentions it too.

Jesus warned people very, very frequently against going to where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth AKA Hell. It was one of his favorite subjects.

All christians are stupid.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Many religious people are misinformed. Christianity does not have a monopoly on dumb.

[–] Hobbes@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

You're right. All religious people are stupid.

Fuck that. I can tell you specifically who are in Hell right now: the same people who are in Hades, Narnia, and Mordor.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who is the degenerate that is in Hades?

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

So what? Stop inflating the platform of these creepy weirdos. Don't print this.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Those people love their make-believe

Dude looks like a Far Cry villain

He will probably think that it's from an admirer.

If gay people go to Hell and Trump supporters to Heaven.... Satan, here I come!

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's a better party anyway

Dude somehow looks like a more evil version of Matt Walsh.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Yet another weirdo Trump supporter.

They're not even trying not to be weird anymore.

[–] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

My grandfather always told me he wants to go to hell because that's where the rock stars are. That's where the party is. 🤘

Heaven is where the hypocrites go.

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do not be judging others, that you yourself may not be judged...

Referring to the preacher in the article.

Love thy neighbor unless they are black - GOP Jesus.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Further confirming my theory that Hell is actually the real Heaven and you definitely don't want to go to the fake one by accident and suffer eternity with those people and that "God".

This is the bad place?

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Honestly, if all of the religious people are in heaven I think hell is the place for me.

Though the most likely place for will be rotting away in the ground with out any sort of awareness, because there is no afterlife

Makes sense that he has to believe this, otherwise he'd be hellbound in his own view

[–] sumguyonline@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

MLK was reincarnated on another planet to complete a new task. Racists are reincarnated as a member of the people they were racist against. Life's about growing, if you devolve into a racist, it has to be made up in another life, or go straight to hell for refusing to grow as a sentient.
