A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".

This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.

Rules:

  1. Always follow .world instance rules

  2. Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.

  3. Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.

  4. Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

  5. Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.

Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.

  1. No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.

  2. Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.

A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.

  1. Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way somewhere in your post. Either in the title or the meme itself.

For more general political memes please see [email protected]

  1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.

  2. Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.

  3. For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.

And above all, HAVE FUN!

Jesus had absolutely nothing to say about gay people. He had an awful lot to say about hypocrisy.

Jesus had absolutely nothing to say about gay people.

Indirectly. By affirming the old testament, Jesus of the Bible condemned the act of sodomy (the act perpetrated by the people of Sodom and Gomorrah).

New testament says:

Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. (Matthew 5:17 RSV)

So let's look at what "the law" according to the Bible says:

Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; it is an abomination. (Leviticus 18:22)

In other words, according to Christianity, gay people are sinners for having sex with each other.

Could be fake disinformation but someone once told me that the "man lie with another man" is a mistranslation from the king James ver. and the original was that man should not lie with a child. I never fact checked it full disclosure

I've heard that there are disputed verses in the King James Bible as well (not this one). But at the same time this Bible is quite well established, and as such indicates what the consensus of Christians is (or has been).

I see what you’re saying, but I’m not sure you can call it consensus when the various bible translations have been nearly exclusively produced by the ruling class who were using it for control over the populace.

It would be interesting to see which translation would actually win a general vote if there wasn’t pressure from church leadership to use a specific one.

I'm not saying it isnt, I just think its funny that these people think theyre somehow following the teachings of Jesus by being bigots when the original Bible (supposedly) says nothing of the sort.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Luckily, gay people don't. Hard to get a penis in a vagina with either two penises or two vaginas.

There is no point in being nit-picky like this.

It's like answering the question, "can you drink a glass of water?", with "no, one cannot drink glass". It's stupid, because everyone understands that question in one way, so there is no point in coming up with a completely new interpretation just to be a contrarian.

as is everyone for being born.

And then the Christians--ones who were alive to see Jesus--decided circumcision could go away. The parts of the old law they choose to keep are arbitrary.

I guess that's a fair point.
