And then Jesus showed up and said, and I quote, “…if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.” But in Aramaic, I guess.
Problem with sexy ladies? Not their problem.
To be fair, he said they would be thrown to the Valley of Hinnom. Not the nicest of places, sure, but not literally a fiery hell.
Well…that valley is also referred to as the one with the unquenchable fire.
Are you talking about the one in modern day Turkmenistan? Cause Hinnom is southwest of Jerusalem near Mount Zion.
Dude, just go home and have a wank like a normal weirdo.
He most likely does and posting to social media is his way to pay penance and make himself feel superior to his peers.
He’s gotta make sure you know the real villain!
It’s not his wandering eyes, it’s the immodest harlots not following rules.
I feel like I read something about plucking out wandering eyes… Hmm must be from some obscure atheist text.
Well that’s their mental back handspring with a twist they do: wandering eyes are sinful, and they are good Christians, they don’t want their eyes to wander because, again, they’re “good Christians.” So if they don’t want their eyes to wander, and god doesn’t want their eyes to wander, it’s the filthy harlots in their “immodest dress” that are the problem.
Not the religion that has brainwashed them into thinking human sexuality is perverse and made them have full on diarrhea mouth.
Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great. If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate.
Just remember that these are the kind of people that believe that without the word of God to dictate morality to humanity that literally everyone would be a murdering, raping, cannibalistic monster. They literally cannot understand that people can be good without the fear of eternal damnation looming over them at all times.
Repeating myself, but the jackass who made Supersize Me had a short-lived tv show where people of opposing backgrounds swapped lives. The christian nutter went to live with Muslims and talked about how if you don’t get your values from the bible, he can’t imagine what you must believe.
You’re spot on with this comment. They absolutely have an inability to think outside the confines of their own mental prisons. I’m sure that even pre-language proto-humans could discern morality and whether their actions were justified or not, even if unable to articulate the concept.
From Ricky Gervais’ show After Life.
before i cave in
Yikes.
Cave into what? Dude saw a woman in yoga pants, and now he has to go on a rape rampage? Wtf?
Gross regardless but to be completely fair “cave in” within a conservative Christian context could literally mean just a side glance to get a good look at them
Could literally mean anything from having lusty thoughts to full-blown rape. This is one of those hope for the best kind of situations, but if he’s gonna tell us - even via ambiguous language - that he’s a threat to the safety of women around him, then it’s best to believe him.
I dunno, they get up to some creepy shit. Have you read their Bible? It’s pretty fucked up.
These guys believe that the only way morality happens is if big Sky Daddy is watching them at all times with threats of terrible punishment. It’s why they literally don’t understand how non-Christians can be moral people.
While I think the whole thing is yikes, I think in this instance he’s referring to caving in to masturbation/porn, not rape… I hope.
According to a lot of ex Christians in the comments, staring is probably exactly what he meant
The “before I cave in” remark is probably just about failing the “avert my eyes” thing and looking at the women in the Mat 5:28, committing adultery in your heart kind of way. From a Catholic perspective OOP’s concerns are completely reasonable as even thinking about sex too hard is supposed to send you to the forever torture zone. I doubt this guy is a hair trigger away from committing SA but the situation is disturbing in a few other ways
Source: am ex-cradle-Catholic and read all the stuff about sexual morality
even thinking about sex too hard is supposed to send you to the forever torture
Except for the part where literally any crime imaginable can be forgiven if you repent and believe in Jesus. Which kinda makes all the different rules Christianity imposes on its adherents completely moot.
Yeah the “thought crime” aspects of some religions seems to be incredibly damaging. Like your brain is not fully under your control. Thought is a messy place. Treating it as an evil to always be expunged and rigidly controlled tends to translate into some pretty toxic behaviours or at the very least an erosion of self worth.
I feel I had a very different Catholic upbringing because I don’t find this reasonable from a Catholic perspective at all.
