Bro, we can all tell. We've just been too polite to say anything.

Get some help. Destroy a throw pillow. Shit on the entryway carpet. Do chihuahua things. Get off the internet.

"Sport Nuts". Yeah, they are going to hell...

"So Called Christians", sounds like the sorta person the sign holder is.

"Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over."

It's an interesting take, at least, given the quasi-religious nature of support for sports teams. Maybe they're just not happy about the dip in church attendance that resulted from the NFL playing games in London (which broadcast at 10 AM EST).

Oh shit, I didn’t read the overall message at first and thought hell yeah, I’m a bunch of these things.

But they’re anti-these things, so fuck them.

I want to make mostly the same sign but with the opposite message.

e: also, pencil neck weak kneed gutless men are my jam. Plus long haired freaky people. They can apply.

Surely this person hates Trump for being a money loving, two faced hypocrite pervert.

Well, yes, but he doesn't kill the baby until AFTER they're born!

Kill the baby before they're born? Oh the horror!!!

Let the baby be born? Fuck you kid! Welcome to the real world!

And then hope about 12 years later the baby doesn't get invited to the island by some wealthy fuck.

Who ever said they gave a shit about the twelve years later bit? They certainly are not demonstrating a great amount of care out there.

You know, I get the feeling that this guy is not a nice person at all and just hates everyone. What, uh, what do you guys think?

There's this church group that would show up to my university once every year holding signs that read:

"IF YOU ARE:

Liberal Atheist Buddhist Hinduist Agnostic Muslim Etc Etc

YOU WILL GO TO HELL"

We had a running joke that they could and did put anything they wanted on that sign except "jewish" which would be the only thing that would get them banned from campus lol.

Most of these sign holders are still reeling from seeing a nonwhite in a public space. Knowing proper terminologies is not their charge.

Same here, I think the more common way to say a 'follower of hinduism' would be to say that they are hindu?

A "badly behaved"/annoying kid is how I know of it being used

It's crazy how deranged right wingers constantly make the left look so fucking rad. I want to live in a world where the actual DNC behaves like the boogeyman DNC that they made up in their heads.

I saw the Porno Freaks open for the So Called Christians when I was in college. Great show.

Money lovers... are we called greedy for wanting to raisw the minimum wage? While the church megapastors are considered a good example.

12

I wouldn't call that being a money lover. Someone who wants to raise the minimum wage is probably more likely to want to abolish money as a construct entirely.

It's my personal understanding/experience that it's a term for babies who are unable to walk, but can crawl and tend to put everything in their mouths.

Why is being used here as an insult or slur is beyond my comprehension.

Just a term for shitty little kids, I think. Which makes it ridiculous to me, because if anything the parents are to blame until they develop further.

3

Oh lol seems odd they would include kids in this list but I guess it's equal opportunity hatred and bigotry. Which is almost admirable, as far as hatred and bigotry goes

"God" isn't real. There's no such thing.

It's just an imaginary friend made up by lunatics to express themselves and try to control others.

Lol, what's the problem of liking sports?

Also, Dykes on Bikes sounds pretty metal

Am a bunch of those. I think if god exists we’d be cool.

ETA: also sounds like mostly a bunch of people I wouldn’t mind getting to know 😉

I learned more about LGBT+ from a bible thumping homophobe I met at school than from anyone else.

I didn't know the rainbow thing until he saw a blanket in my house with a rainbow pattern. Just about caused mental break. He was convinced we were a secret big gay household or something.

He went on to become one the types of people in OP. The ones who stand on the street screaming into a megaphone about God and the gays and stuff. He went on trips to America to attend some sort of giant Christian evangelical things.

5

I was working with an old timer South African. He showed us the new strap for his guitar. It was a rainbow. We looked surprised. He told us it was for his homeland - a brave new rainbow nation. We told him how it would probably be interpreted where he was. He looked sad and went back to the old strap.

5

I'm actually... None of these. Even the non-homemaker one since I make dinner each day.

The person holding that sign probably fits into 3-4 categories on it.

In Sweden they have a band called "That Christian Look". Except they are not Christian. Why, they are not Christian in the slightest!

Any Christian that doesn't live by Jesus' two most important COMMANDMENTS, is a fake Christian in my book and I'm an atheist.

For context, those being, if I recall correctly, in no particular order, as they're both the co-greatest commandments:

a) Love God (that is, what created everything, so you might as well interprete it as loving the universe)

b) Love thy neighbour

essentially just a form of the golden ... rule

I don't think I've ever met a Christian who lived even remotely by the commandments. That's why they have that crazy-ass clause that you can repent and accept Jesus on your deathbed and go to heaven. They are all fake; most of the actual differences are in intent.

5

The commandments are in the OLD testament. There is a NEW testament now. It preaches... Well... See... The thing is, there is an even NEWER testament, and I'll tell you all about what's in it for about three fiddy.

Most are fake I agree. That's why I left the church. I will say there are a few good ones, but IMO there are way more "Christians."

Guy I know married a preacher's daughter. He was 'convinced' to take an active role in the church. Jumped through all the hoops, did all the studying. Marriage kinda fell apart after a number of years but he was still in the church. At some point, the 'inner circle' stopped caring and started throwing around racism and bigotry behind closed doors, so he walked away. TBF the least corrupted church I ever attended was run by a Lesbian couple. Nicest people on the face of the earth. The congregation was pretty much of the mind that gay is fine, but there were still a number of people there questionable on race and other attributes.

Seems like there are just some evolutionary ties to exclusionism that humans are shit at getting past.

Every single one of them would make amazing band names, hell the baby killers both looks and sounds like a metal band.

For most of those groups, the stage will be absolutely packed. It’ll be like seeing Arcade Fire times ten.

I tag for pervert and what they would consider a false religion. Still wouldn't stop me from threatening to sacrifice them in a blót.
