People have been saying that about movies for decades now. Ever since the early 00’s when gay culture became significantly more accepted into the mainstream, there has been an overly vocal crowd of bigots who just want their movies to be straight white folks facing problems. It’s just a nice reminder that a large majority of Christians aren’t actually Christian, they’re just hateful and using a centuries old fantasy anthology as an excuse for it.
My mother used to whine so much when watching a movie and a character shares a romantic moment with someone of the same sex.
Like, to the point where weeks after the movie,any time someone brings it up or references it, she will roll her eyes and go "they just HAD to ruin it by being gay"
She also used to insist that she only complained because "it's not like that happens in other movies, it's just with gay people"
So I made a point from the on, any time someone is watching something around her, and a straight couple share a moment, I go way over the top acting like it's gross PDA and complain that they ruined a perfectly good movie by adding heterosexual relationships into it for no reason.
First of all, it's true. Romance subplot are way too common and it detracts from many movies because of it. More movies need to choose won't they
Second, it got my point across, and she even did the exasperated fine I get it it's not just gay people grumbling.
And then just kept complaining, she just stopped saying it never happens with straight couples.
Yes they are, Christian doesn't mean "good person." It mostly means someone who believes that a sinless god-man died, and now they get to go to heaven if they want to.
With the old testiment being a different religion's text, and the new testament being mostly made out of letters that people supposedly wrote to each other, you can make the Bible say basically anything you want it to. It's not a consistent or coherent storyline.
