Ah yes, because I am very active on AI, hobbit, anime and furry threads. Maybe I should start patrolling the furry communities to make sure nobody is blaspheming Christ 🙄
So, no other examples of you taking issue with parodies of christian art on Lemmy or elsewhere, correct? You've had plenty of time since I posted those links to tell each of the OPs how you feel about their depictions of the last supper. Why not go ahead and do that now?
Because I can't be bothered to what the furries are doing?
Yet it's religious parody all the same, something that allegedly bothers you regardless of whether those involved are LGBTQIA+. I've yet to see an evidence to support your argument. Still no response to my original question. It's not a problem when other major groups do it? No global uproar when it's done countless times by high profile series like South Park, the Simpsons, Family Guy, Curb your Enthusiasm, IASIP? Not an issue when the hard right appropriates your religion for political gain? Barely a peep when the subjects are anything other than obviously part of the LGBTQIA,+ community. At this point you should just own your bigotry instead of wasting people's time.
Yes, it's still an issue. Yes it's an issue when people co-opt Christianity for political gain. So many whattaboutisms here. I would be more surprised to see Donald Trump in heaven compared to one of those drag performers in all honesty
Once again, that is not what whataboutism is, the crux of the argument hasn't changed. You claim to be just as offended by other parodies of the last supper. Yet when presented with evidence of others parodying that specific image, even high profile examples, you've shown no indication that this has offended you just as much as it does when drag queens are featured. I even gave you multiple chances to pick any christian religious image you want and still nothing comes up. Either parodies of Christian art offend you just as much or they don't, and if you single one out, the reason becomes very obvious.
This just indicates that you'd still be surprised to see one of these drag queens in heaven, just not as surprised as you would seeing Donald Trump. And really? Donald Trump? A bar that low?
I'd be surprised because many people are too proud of their sin to repent of it. Trump included. However a lot of people living in sexual sin do it because they're looking for fulfillment. They feel like they're not enough and looking for something more, an identity perhaps. Yet Christ fulfills us in more ways we can imagine, and we can place our identity in Christ.
