Christians literally go door to door: “Knock Knock Knock. Have you found Christianity? I’ve chosen a christian way of life and I think it’s a great way of life. I think you should choose to be christian. I think you should raise your children to be christian. I think we should teach christianity in school. I think we should elect christian leaders. I think we should have a christian society.”

So they think gay people go around going: “Knock Knock Knock. Have you found gayness? I’ve chosen a gay way of life and it’s a great way of life. I think you should choose to be gay. I think you should raise your children to be gay. I think we should teach gayness in school. I think we should elect gay leaders. I think we should have a gay society.”

Which is of course as ridiculous as thinking: “Knock Knock Knock. Have you found left-handedness? I’ve chosen a left-handed way of life and it’s a great way of life. I think you should choose to be left-handed. I think you should raise your children to be left-handed. I think we should teach left-handedness in school. I think we should elect left-handed leaders. I think we should have a left-handed society.”

(Now it’s not just gay, it’s trans too.)

    For real though

    It’s all the fun banning puritans who got booted out of the country after their coup and subsequent dictatorship finally got overthrown who were the bulk of the Thirteen Colonies, which largely just left the “love thy neighbour” Christians who actually campaign against racism, homophobia, climate change and whatever else can be seen as people insulting “God’s creation” which frankly I can completely get behind even if I don’t believe it as such.

    Frankly I don’t get the mind bending logic to ignoring all the “everyone is God’s child, he has made them as he sees fit, he loves them, you should love them too” stuff in the bible and skipping past to a small subsection which says that men shouldn’t sleep together, especially when they ignore the fact that the same section says that anyone who works on a Sunday should be put to death along with a bunch of other wild and wacky stuff that we just all collectively agree was a product of the time it was written…

      Also Jesus pretty much tossed out all the “unclean” nonsense in Peter’s dream or whatever.

      I wonder how many of them follow the diet though.
