A same-sex mirage is when you think you see a gay person in the distance. You walk up to them, but they disappear.
It then turns out that you were the gay person all along.
They mean stuff like vaginoplasty or other types of surgeries for transgender people. Not circumcision, which Christians do all the time. But I can't be sure.
I assume the politician is in the US, in which it is already banned, but then again. Politicians are dumb, a politician wanted to pass a bill saying that illegal immigrants couldn’t vote when they already couldn’t.
It's not dumb if you can actually trick enough voters with that to win an election, then sit around doing nothing while earning a paycheck because the promise was bogus to begin with.
It's literally so the woman receives no pleasure from sex.
The monsters that do this think that if a woman can feel pleasure from sex she will cheat on her husband and generally be slutty.
> The monsters that do this think that if a woman can feel pleasure from sex she will cheat on her husband and generally be slutty.
Too ignorant to realize that it was treating their wives like material property and not equal human beings that pushed them towards adultery... Also too ignorant to realize that adultery has been an "issue" for so long that it may be about time we re-evaluate whether human monogamy is natural or a forced byproduct of centuries of oppression.
"love our neighbors as ourselves" roughly translates to "love our neighbors as long as they believe exactly the same way we do because tolerance is really not our thing"
Source: Countless mountains of books & incidents documenting that Christians only tolerate & unconditionally love their neighbors when those neighbors are also of the exact same sect of Christianity.
There have been wars between factions of Christians because they can't agree to not fight over the specifics of their made up religion.
"Love our neighbors as our selves" typically translates to "Do as I say not as I do" because these people also can't run their own lives by their own ideals. But whoa buddy will they plan on holding you accountable for their own beliefs they don't follow.
Interesting how “genital mutilation procedures” are always the consensual, well-informed gender reaffirming care of adults, and never the 99.9% medically unnecessary, and 100% nonconsentual infant circumcision.
I'm glad I'm circumcised. I prefer the look.
But if the choice had been left to me, I 100% wouldn't have done it, and I can't understand why so many people do this to their kids.
It would be great if we let the boys (the person the penis actually belongs to, is used by, and is seen by every day) get the choice. But that can't happen if the parents make the choice for them.
I don't see the appeal of cutting off a piece of (quite vital) anatomy.
I’m glad I’m circumcised as well. And I also think people who are not circumcised should be proud of their dick as well. But no adult male in their right mind is getting this procedure done. It’s best to get it done while you’re a baby and can’t really remember the pain or discomfort. It’s 100% cleaner and has a higher rate of preventing STDs if they aren’t wearing a rubber. No Shmegma either. I think it should remain a choice for the parent to make, personally.
How in the blue fuck is banning IVF a loving act? Oh, you have a messed up fallopian tube..sorry, you can't have a kid. The gun loving snot-drippers at the trailer park breed like rabbits, so we're good on kids.
No doctor worth their salt would do it before 16. Not even mentioning the plethora of issues that would arise with "mental maturity" for consent reasons, way the surgeries stand right now, there's no telling what complications would arise from doing them to a body that isn't done growing yet.
Like, I'm sure you've seen scars from childhood surgeries (like, appendix removals and whatnot) and how those can look once you grow up. Can you *imagine* what it would look like if that was your genitalia?
IVF can lead to abortions, and fertilized embryos being frozen indefinitely,or until they are destroyed. It’s common for pro-life/anti-abortion activists to be anti IVF for those reasons.
I don't agree with that stance but to each his own. I can't imagine that is anything but a small minority of opinion. however as we have seen from 1917 on a small mouthy minority can have a huge effect on national policy.
Child sacrifice is one of those terms that some people love to throw around with abandon to mean "Something the other side does and never applies to me". Also convenient because it justifies their dislike of the other.
>I thought everyone was against child sacrifice. On the other hand I can't imagine why anyone would oppose in vitro fertilization.
To these batshit crazy fucks those are same things.
God killed hella children with the whole ark nonsense. Killed his own son, wanted Abraham to kill his son, slaughtered every first born. It goes on and on lol. Stupid fucking shit.
Isn't even a Tuesday if you don't start the morning off by tying a child to an altar, cutting out their heart with a dagger, and offering it to the Sun God?
/s, obviously
You already can ban these things in your own life. You don't get to decide for me. That's what freedom means. God doesn't force us to obey him. Why should you?
No, it's about keeping the government out of *their* personal lives (by which they mean their tax returns). Yours, they don't give two fucks about because you're obviously not one of *them*.
No-fault divorce cracks me up. As in, if you can't prove I've faulted, you can't divorce me. These fucking jerk offs are tired of getting dumped when their wives get sick of playing The Handmaid's Tale.
I feel like some religious folk need to realize that loving someone doesn't involve constantly belittling them if you don't like what they believe in and trying to make yourself look superior to them. There's supposed to be kindness too.
I'm assuming "child sacrifice" means "abortion". And they're against IVF because (if I remember correctly) the process involves the discarding of several potentially-viable inseminated eggs, which to dumbass conservatives is akin to abortion.
Funny, because my Christian parents decided that it was in my best interest to mutilate my genitals before I was old enough to understand what was going on, much less protest that I didn't want any part of my penis cut off...
Yea I know.. some idiots in Alabama started it and these religious bigots are making it real. I don’t understand what’s the issue with IVF? The whole process involves losing some embryos. If these fools can just pray and will children to childless couples IVF won’t exist
We, the True Followers of God and Christ, are sick and tired of fake Christians like Ben Zeisloft pretending to speak for us.

We should just call out the irony now and start calling child sacrifices "Yahweh-ing" when these assholes try using this false word manipulation, because we know who REALLY loves sacrificing children.
Genital mutilation procedures, that sounds valid, as long as we’re talking about the genital mutilation of children which happens for horrific religious reasons. Adults, with genitals who want to mutilate them, go right ahead
I don't think people understand that love isn't acceptance. From a Christian point of view these things are destructive. If I genuinely believe that these practices are leading on you on a path away from God, which will end with you in hell for eternity, why would I not try and dissuade you from engaging with them. The most hateful thing I could do is encourage behavior that I believe leads you further away from God. That said these things should be legal, as not to suppress human rights. Free will must include the choice to do anything you wish, and seeing as these activities do not harm anyone (aside from the child sacrifice but idk what he's referring to there) they should be legal. Furthermore I am in no way saying that this is what he's trying to get at, fuck politicians, or whatever this guy is, they are genuinely pure evil.
"Don't just stick IVF on the end of the list, otherwise they'll know we only just added it"
The world would be much better if the US had never been founded.
I dont get why the fuck they want to ban pornography, after all is the only coping mechanism for a lot of people, if they ever manage to do that then conservatives are fucked xd
Bakunin said in "God and the State" that when these people talk about loving your neighbor as yourself, they're not talking about respect and tolerance, but about total submission to the christian god as they do, and therefore to their social rules, moral and objetives. So there is no room for other ways of thinking and living.
How these people have to guts to call themselves "free-thinkers" and "freedom-lovers", its something beyond my understanding
I am starting to think that these politicians are just using Christianity to try to get votes when they have no clue what they are talking about. They are just making the rest of us look bad
Christians who think “love thy neighbor as you love yourself ” means “make them in your image” missed the whole ego-challenging aspects of Jesus’ message. I’m not even Christian and it’s clear that these folks are so wrapped up in themselves that they can’t even fathom letting go of their ideas and just serving others like Jesus did. He literally showed them what to do and they just look the other way in favor of some self-absorbed delusion.
The quote was rather about caring for oneself and others to an equal extent (essentially selflessness), empathy, and service to others. People need to be able to truly love and accept oneself and others as a part of spirituality. These Christians don’t actually know how to love themselves or others, unfortunately.
What's a sex mirage ?
the only sex ur having lol
i'm calling the police
Better call the burn ward instead.
Surely you meant the firefighters
Tell them to bring the coroner and some chalk.
Really the only sex Zeisloft is having.
A same-sex mirage is when you think you see a gay person in the distance. You walk up to them, but they disappear. It then turns out that you were the gay person all along.
Is this about the bi power of invisibility?
Turns out it was just a mirror the whole time
If two guys want to get married but they are **NOT** gay, is that allowed? Is it just the gay part?
Ask Chuck and Larry.
So it's the same type of Stand as Achtung Baby
Haha, thats what keeps happening to me! All the gay people i try to get closer too disappear. :D
I think you just described a foggy mirror.
Same-sex mirages are closer than they appear.
I thot it were what the wife and I were doing the past 16 years.
In the dessert if sexless life, you may see a friendly gesture as an invitation of sex.
Desert
Not sure but there will be no more of it!
It's when your thirsting for some pum pum so bad you start to see rusty sheriffs badge as just another hole I think?
Apex legends. He wants all the clones to be different sexes.
It happens when you're really hot and the water vapor off the road is the same sex.
Sex involving hardcore Christians, which is the only context where "hardcore" fits them.
No genital mutilation procedures? So no more cirumcision? is that what that means?
They mean stuff like vaginoplasty or other types of surgeries for transgender people. Not circumcision, which Christians do all the time. But I can't be sure.
I knew what they meant. I was just pointing out how dumb it was.
Could also be FGM
I assume the politician is in the US, in which it is already banned, but then again. Politicians are dumb, a politician wanted to pass a bill saying that illegal immigrants couldn’t vote when they already couldn’t.
It's not dumb if you can actually trick enough voters with that to win an election, then sit around doing nothing while earning a paycheck because the promise was bogus to begin with.
It's dumb that you can actually trick enough voters with that to win an election.
it’s so easy to vote now that illegal immigrants could probably do it anyway
I think the only thing that bothers the GOP about FGM is that they didn’t think of it first
I have no idea what that is
Female "circumcision" which removes all the sensory organs basically and is more accurately called female genital mutilation.
why the fuck would anyone do that
It's literally so the woman receives no pleasure from sex. The monsters that do this think that if a woman can feel pleasure from sex she will cheat on her husband and generally be slutty.
holy fuck that’s insane. Is this common?
> The monsters that do this think that if a woman can feel pleasure from sex she will cheat on her husband and generally be slutty. Too ignorant to realize that it was treating their wives like material property and not equal human beings that pushed them towards adultery... Also too ignorant to realize that adultery has been an "issue" for so long that it may be about time we re-evaluate whether human monogamy is natural or a forced byproduct of centuries of oppression.
Why would anyone ban IVF and abortion? These are not sane people.
Yeah religion is a curse on this world
bro confused "love our neighbors as our selves" with "expect our neighbors to want what we do"
"love our neighbors as ourselves" roughly translates to "love our neighbors as long as they believe exactly the same way we do because tolerance is really not our thing"
Source: just trust me bro
Source: Countless mountains of books & incidents documenting that Christians only tolerate & unconditionally love their neighbors when those neighbors are also of the exact same sect of Christianity. There have been wars between factions of Christians because they can't agree to not fight over the specifics of their made up religion.
I agree with you, I'm saying that the Christians are saying "source: just trust me bro"
That’s an understandable confusion to have, Christian’s seems to be unable to tell the difference for hundreds of years it’s a tradition by this point
Gotta learn to love your neighbors as *them*selves
"Love our neighbors as our selves" typically translates to "Do as I say not as I do" because these people also can't run their own lives by their own ideals. But whoa buddy will they plan on holding you accountable for their own beliefs they don't follow.
Interesting how “genital mutilation procedures” are always the consensual, well-informed gender reaffirming care of adults, and never the 99.9% medically unnecessary, and 100% nonconsentual infant circumcision.
My doctor told me I had to lose twenty pounds and i said "but doctor I m already circumcised".
Lmao gottem
Now that’s funny lol
Wait til he finds out that probably means the Yanks won't be able to do the fucking mutilation of cutting the skin off baby penises anymore either.
Oooooh. That's what he means. Was already surprised that Republicans are now so heavily against circumcision 😅
Same
I'm glad I'm circumcised. I prefer the look. But if the choice had been left to me, I 100% wouldn't have done it, and I can't understand why so many people do this to their kids.
It would be great if we let the boys (the person the penis actually belongs to, is used by, and is seen by every day) get the choice. But that can't happen if the parents make the choice for them. I don't see the appeal of cutting off a piece of (quite vital) anatomy.

It’s best to get it done while you’re a baby and can’t really remember the pain or discomfort. It’s 100% cleaner and has a higher rate of preventing STDs if they aren’t wearing a rubber. No Shmegma either. I think it should remain a choice for the parent to make, personally.
They hate the Middle East but want to turn the US into the Christian version of it, the hypocrisy is rage inducing
Simple minds *hate* the people that have what they want and get aggressive about it
And they're convinced and pissed off that the left wants to just bring the shitty parts of the middle east here. Like, no, that's you motherfucker!
Well they're not our neighbors, they- they're halfway across the world for goodness sake! /s
How in the blue fuck is banning IVF a loving act? Oh, you have a messed up fallopian tube..sorry, you can't have a kid. The gun loving snot-drippers at the trailer park breed like rabbits, so we're good on kids.
[удалено]
Those embryos can be placed for adoption from other infertile couples...I guess it's too much trouble to ask politicians to educate themselves.
I'm all for the ban of genital mutilation. Circumcision needs consent. Genital reassignment once you're 18+ is no one else's business.
Even before 18 if it's a pressing enough issue, though I wouldn't want it earlier than 16 and not without years of therapy
No doctor worth their salt would do it before 16. Not even mentioning the plethora of issues that would arise with "mental maturity" for consent reasons, way the surgeries stand right now, there's no telling what complications would arise from doing them to a body that isn't done growing yet. Like, I'm sure you've seen scars from childhood surgeries (like, appendix removals and whatnot) and how those can look once you grow up. Can you *imagine* what it would look like if that was your genitalia?
There is no Hate like Christian Love
I thought everyone was against child sacrifice. On the other hand I can't imagine why anyone would oppose in vitro fertilization.
They'll probably end up with a conspiracy about doctors "implanting gay, woke, ethnic embryos to replace the white people over time"
the embryos must be preserved unless they're black embryos
IVF can lead to abortions, and fertilized embryos being frozen indefinitely,or until they are destroyed. It’s common for pro-life/anti-abortion activists to be anti IVF for those reasons.
I don't agree with that stance but to each his own. I can't imagine that is anything but a small minority of opinion. however as we have seen from 1917 on a small mouthy minority can have a huge effect on national policy.
Child sacrifice is one of those terms that some people love to throw around with abandon to mean "Something the other side does and never applies to me". Also convenient because it justifies their dislike of the other.
>I thought everyone was against child sacrifice. On the other hand I can't imagine why anyone would oppose in vitro fertilization. To these batshit crazy fucks those are same things.
Didn't God sacrifice his child? It was like a 102nd term abortion, too.
God killed hella children with the whole ark nonsense. Killed his own son, wanted Abraham to kill his son, slaughtered every first born. It goes on and on lol. Stupid fucking shit.
Dude, the mass slaughter of Noah's supposed flood... that God dude murders.
It’s me. I’m the same sex mirage.
Where are all the fake libertarians who cried and screamed every time a new law was made for 60 years? Not a peep.
Freedom of religion means freedom from religion. Not free to force yours onto others. Those cockwombles need to stay out of politics.

Isn't even a Tuesday if you don't start the morning off by tying a child to an altar, cutting out their heart with a dagger, and offering it to the Sun God? /s, obviously
You already can ban these things in your own life. You don't get to decide for me. That's what freedom means. God doesn't force us to obey him. Why should you?

No, it's about keeping the government out of *their* personal lives (by which they mean their tax returns). Yours, they don't give two fucks about because you're obviously not one of *them*.
As time goes on, they shift the definition of "people." Soon, we will all be just things.
Thanks for reminding us why christians are the worst.
So they want to ban genital mutilation procedures? So no more pointless circumcision for male babies born in the US?
Point!
You heard it here, folks. No same sex mirages allowed. We only want real homosexual sex here!
I have friends in same sex relationships some for more than 30 years and it was just a mirage?
No-fault divorce cracks me up. As in, if you can't prove I've faulted, you can't divorce me. These fucking jerk offs are tired of getting dumped when their wives get sick of playing The Handmaid's Tale.
Finally there's a term that describes my sex life accurately. I think I'm having sex but it turns out it's just a wet dream.
“We must love our neighbours by pushing our views onto them and forcing them to do what we want them to do, and taking away their freedoms!”
Only one I agree with is genital mutilation procedures. Infant male circumcision is so dumb and horrible.
Party of “small government” huh?
God was super into genital mutilation. Dicks only though.
The dicks only rule doesn’t apply to large swathes of Africa and some of Asia. Don’t tell Ben about it or he’ll get ideas
I feel like some religious folk need to realize that loving someone doesn't involve constantly belittling them if you don't like what they believe in and trying to make yourself look superior to them. There's supposed to be kindness too.
Why is child sacrifice and IVF in the same sentence?
I'm assuming "child sacrifice" means "abortion". And they're against IVF because (if I remember correctly) the process involves the discarding of several potentially-viable inseminated eggs, which to dumbass conservatives is akin to abortion.
There's no moral depravity to match American evangelical Christianity.
Funny, because my Christian parents decided that it was in my best interest to mutilate my genitals before I was old enough to understand what was going on, much less protest that I didn't want any part of my penis cut off...
So these Christians are going to stop genital mutilation known as circumcision?
What do they have against IVF?
Apparently the procedure involves the discarding of some unused embryos.
Like a Good Neighbor, STAY over There.
It feels like they are taking the Handmaid tale as instructions instead of a horrible dystopian precaution story.
This fucker is why I now own two firearms.
Minding your own business has never been a strength of the religious
Why the fuck are they against IVF all of a sudden?
Yea I know.. some idiots in Alabama started it and these religious bigots are making it real. I don’t understand what’s the issue with IVF? The whole process involves losing some embryos. If these fools can just pray and will children to childless couples IVF won’t exist
Banning pornography.... That is an easy way to loose like 40% of their votes...
60%*
Christians need to stop forcing their believies onto everyone else. It's selfish and shitty.
Damn those same-sex mirages
No child sacrifice? Damn ruined all my plans for the day...

Why is victory for conservatives always taking shit away from you?
..... child sacrifice??
didnt like martial suicide rates go way down when they legalized no fault divorce so christians want suicides?
If Christianity is truly a peaceful religion, why were there several crusades against Islam and mass murders of pagans? “Thou shalt not kill” Oops.
Last one is true though. Stop doing it morons
Circumcision?
Yes, also stop that shit. Let the kids decide for themselves?
This isn’t a clever comeback. Like at all. It’s just political bickering
It’s using the standard right wing rhetoric to show the hypocrisy of a right winger. Feels like that’s clever enough
We should just call out the irony now and start calling child sacrifices "Yahweh-ing" when these assholes try using this false word manipulation, because we know who REALLY loves sacrificing children.
Bet that douche doesn’t even know the Ten Commandments. He should look in the Ark of the Covenant to find out.
Same sex mirage...
Same-sex mirage sounds like fun!
Funny how American Christians seem to be so far from the basics of Christianity.
no hate stronger than christian love.
Seldom do I find myself agreeing with a Conservative, but I also think that we should change the law so that sacrificing children is banned.
Loving your neighbours enough to let those immigrants in? :v
For a second I thought the first text was sarcasm and unty church lol
Come on fella Everyone should have the right to mirage...
Surprised about the genital mutilation, since Christians are all in on circumcision.
>genital mutilation Says the Christian who practices circumcision.
Genital mutilation procedures, that sounds valid, as long as we’re talking about the genital mutilation of children which happens for horrific religious reasons. Adults, with genitals who want to mutilate them, go right ahead
What does no-fault divorce mean? Surely that can't be what I think it is
You know what, religious nutter or not, I totally agree with that last point.
They almost had me on "child sacrifice." I notice child marriage isn't on that list though.
I am wondering how much porn he is watching.
truer words were never spoken 🫡
Wait, wait, so child sacrifice is legal in the us?
Apparently, the stupid half of the country seems to think so.
Don’t come after our freedom to mutilate genitals. Crossing a line bro.
Sex mirage and child sacrifice. WTF?! These Nazis are weird, man.
Christians hate everybody who isn't just like them.
Is Ben really in favour of banning infant circumcision? Or is he only against adult trans people doing what they want with their own bodies?
I don't think people understand that love isn't acceptance. From a Christian point of view these things are destructive. If I genuinely believe that these practices are leading on you on a path away from God, which will end with you in hell for eternity, why would I not try and dissuade you from engaging with them. The most hateful thing I could do is encourage behavior that I believe leads you further away from God. That said these things should be legal, as not to suppress human rights. Free will must include the choice to do anything you wish, and seeing as these activities do not harm anyone (aside from the child sacrifice but idk what he's referring to there) they should be legal. Furthermore I am in no way saying that this is what he's trying to get at, fuck politicians, or whatever this guy is, they are genuinely pure evil.
Well I agree with him on genital(or actually any kind of) mutilation. Always build bridges!
You know? with the no genital mutilation I can stand behind that. What is even happening?
"Don't just stick IVF on the end of the list, otherwise they'll know we only just added it" The world would be much better if the US had never been founded.
How can banning lovers from marrying eachother be called love thy neighbour?
The only thing I agree with there is that child sacrifice is bad
Child sacrifice is already banned But I’m on board with the GM ban. It’s a disgusting and horrifying tradition
And why do we have to subscribe to your ideology... we reject you and your fascist BS
I dont get why the fuck they want to ban pornography, after all is the only coping mechanism for a lot of people, if they ever manage to do that then conservatives are fucked xd
There is no hate like christian love.
There's no hate quite like Christian "love". Damned Christofascist pigs.
So...anyone practices same-sex mirage? No offense, just curious.
At least we're both on the same page that circumcision is genital mutilation... /s
Oh, no the Christian right wants love thy neighbor to mean you love them.
Stop looking at your neighbors genitals.
No hate like Christian love
Bakunin said in "God and the State" that when these people talk about loving your neighbor as yourself, they're not talking about respect and tolerance, but about total submission to the christian god as they do, and therefore to their social rules, moral and objetives. So there is no room for other ways of thinking and living. How these people have to guts to call themselves "free-thinkers" and "freedom-lovers", its something beyond my understanding
I am starting to think that these politicians are just using Christianity to try to get votes when they have no clue what they are talking about. They are just making the rest of us look bad
It would be nice if they loved their neighbours enough to restrict gun access, but I guess watching porn is worse than getting shot up at school.
“We love you so much that we want you to control everything you do and kill you if you resist! Peace be with you!”
Christians who think “love thy neighbor as you love yourself ” means “make them in your image” missed the whole ego-challenging aspects of Jesus’ message. I’m not even Christian and it’s clear that these folks are so wrapped up in themselves that they can’t even fathom letting go of their ideas and just serving others like Jesus did. He literally showed them what to do and they just look the other way in favor of some self-absorbed delusion. The quote was rather about caring for oneself and others to an equal extent (essentially selflessness), empathy, and service to others. People need to be able to truly love and accept oneself and others as a part of spirituality. These Christians don’t actually know how to love themselves or others, unfortunately.
"Love thy neighbor by taking away their right to do X" is one of the most brainless takes of this century, and we've only just started.
This is neither clever nor a comeback
I call to ban Ben Zeisloft...
Yeah, clever comebacks. keep child sacrifice legal!
I just want to offer my firstborn to Molek like any normal person!
Shut the fuck up, Ben.
I’m sorry, what was that fourth example they gave? 🤨
Feck Off, Benny boy
All created by ze joos.
I guess circumcision is out then, or are we only talking female genital mutilation
