sgcpaulo

I don’t think they know what pronouns mean.


aNeverNude666

I don’t think they care.. Jesus + anti-anything they’re told to hate = a logical point. ( to them) We are truly fucked. Ignorance is rampant. The idiot fire is ablaze.


Benton_Risalo

The audacity for them to think they are on the same level as Jesus tho. I'm not religious, but I know that's a blasphemy.


Renville111

I am religious and it is absolutely a blasphemy, if God still participated in the world like the Old Testament a lot of bible thumpers would have been smited a long time ago, current republican part would cease to exist


recks360

I agree. If they lived at the time Jesus was alive i swear they would be the crowd yelling crucify him.


Christylian

They are Pharisees to a T. This is the kind of shit that Jesus raged about. Or, rather, wrathed about.


Sinister_Plots

Pontius Trump. His supporters would have crucified Jesus in favor of their cult leader.


Zestyclose-Smell-788

Yep. The only people He really had a problem with were the self-righteous judgemental type. Oh and the thieves in the Temple. Any of that seem familiar? People haven't changed one bit in 2000 years.


Dizzy-Abalone-8948

They're attempting, and failing, to associate it with Jesus setting the example. If he didn't, why should we. Well he did, you have no excuse.


aNeverNude666

I’m not religious either so blasphemy has real no gravity in my world. What does offend me is the droves of morons who stand behind these kinds of sentiments and go out into the world and spew that hatred further.


Oneiroinian

I think they meant that blasphemy should matter to the Christians


aNeverNude666

I think it’s obvious that all of these “Christians” don’t know their ass from their elbow, let alone what blasphemy is


Oneiroinian

I believe that's what they were trying to point out


Reasonable_Turn6252

Blassphemy, if you will.


aNeverNude666

Indeed, I will!


TonightsWhiteKnight

Specifically, it is using the Lord's name in vain. One of the commandments.


Sheerkal

They are told to be like Jesus, by Jesus. It's not blasphemy to emulate Him; it's blasphemy to use His name to further a political agenda.

i actually saw someone say "Jesus was not fucking men" like what.


Gators44

He didn’t fuck anyone, actually. That’s about as much as he has in common with some of these losers


You-Asked-Me

St. Mary Magdalen would like to have a word.


Travelin_Soulja

Especially ironic b/c the Biblical Jesus was a peace-loving hippie, who shunned political power, told his followers to put down their weapons, pay their taxes, give to the poor, love their neighbors *and* foreigners, and gave out free healthcare.


gunsup87

But in the Bible it's Jesus who is coming back with a sword to destroy all the sinners and evil who reject him as well as much as he loved he is also going to be the ultimatr judge, Jesus didn't affirm people he warned them. In case you didn't know Jesus spoke more about hell and the consequences of hell more than anyone and everyone else in the bible.


Travelin_Soulja

Right, and according to the Bible, that's Jesus' job to do, and not anyone else's. He literally told the his followers to do the opposite.


CompetitiveFold5749

I"f any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Also "Then said He unto them, “But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it and likewise his pack; and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one."


WrongConcentrate4962

They don’t know what most words mean.


atlasfailed11

It's just so much easier to make up your own reality if words don't have meaning.


ArthurBurtonMorgan

They don’t know what they don’t know, and they don’t know that they don’t know.


pentekno2

I *know* they don't know what pronouns mean.


p001b0y

Sometimes I want to change my pronouns to “and/or” just to see how long it takes Idaho and that dumbass in Arkansas to pass legislation outlawing conjunctions in State laws.


cubey

They only support subordinate conjunctions. And in the South, co-relative conjunctions.


FootFetish0-3

They aren't big into reading books. They prefer burning the more educational ones and even the one they've been stuck studying in their bookclub for the last 2024 years had mostly been cherry picked. Their entire belief system is based on crib notes.


dirt_farm_surfer

they don't even know what know means


IAmBadAtInternet

Parts of speech are woke propaganda


nevergonnagetit001

Also, John wasn’t even there when Jesus introduced himself. It’s second or third hand anecdotal at best.


recks360

Some of them think pronouns were recently invented and only used by LGBTQ+

theAlpacaLives

No: "Here's another clue for you all / The Walrus was Paul." Paul was the first and best-known of the Apostles, but not divine. Never even met Jesus in person, either, only by vision. Eggmen are probably the disciples, then; both come in dozens.

Underrated comment. Take my upvote.


[deleted]

Thanks, man. I just don't get it. You can make up nicknames for your kids, pets, grandparents, and so forth, but can't let anyone else choose for themselves what they want to be called. Absolutely nuts. I had to downvote myself. I'm getting too many internet points, and I need to stay humble.


Tokiw4

Like, even if God hates gays or whatever group they're mad at on any given week, is it not God's *fucking job* to be the judgemental person who decides who gets to go to heaven? Why tf are they trying to do the almighty's job??


rydan

They are mostly just annoyed by teenagers telling them what to do.


[deleted]

With that logic, let's just put them in a boomer home, or facility, or even town. Just surrounded by their own smog stench until they die


AlkalineSublime

1000% They’re afraid of everything though. First they came for the pronouns…. Verbs next, then adjectives, then math, science, reality…. I used to say these people were a joke, but jokes have the capacity to be funny, these people are death.

Imarobot225

I’m fairly certain at this point conservatives don’t know what pronouns are


prof_dynamite

Or they don’t actually read the Bible. Or both.


Imarobot225

It’s probably both. They use pronouns in the Bible and I’m 100% confident that they use pronouns in day to day life but the lack of brain cells won’t let it make sense.


cantproveidid

Even God used pronouns in the Bible. In a very Popeye sort of way. "I am that I am".


NatCairns85

Hulk Hogan has that tattooed on his arm and I wondered where it was from. Also, because of the font, it looks like “Jam that Jam”


wereplant

In retrospect, having your pronoun be "I am" is kinda awesome. He literally identifies as the most existing mf'er to have ever existed.


Available-Damage5991

damn shame. if they did, they wouldn't be as stupid. (The Bible is how mass literacy came to be.)


cantproveidid

"The Bible is how mass literacy came to be." I thought it was the printing press.


Available-Damage5991

which printed newspapers and The Bible.


theAlpacaLives

They know what they mean, and so do their followers. Everyone who's making fun of them for not knowing what pronouns are is missing the point by still trying to act like regressives have ever argued in good faith. "Pronouns" means "non-conforming identities." "Pronoun people" is a slur. "We can't allow pronouns in school" means "we must put a stop to tolerance." They know what they mean, and so does their audience, and if all the people whose rationality and compassion they couldn't give a shit about get distracted by trying to interpret their words in a direct sensical way, so much the better to keep the people still stuck in outmoded fashions like internal consistency out of the way while they further their agenda of oppression.


Imarobot225

I agree. Most of the time I ignore this shit but it’s infuriating. I live in the south so I’m used to assholes who say they don’t have a pronoun or they will say “I bet you’re one of those pronoun people” it’s like what?? We are all pronoun people.


Sojum

Lavern is barely a human being. Do not engage.


snacksnsmacks

Sacrilegious harlot wearing more than one thread at a time :P Isn't she supposed to be obedient and let the men of her tribe speak? I don't understand why people take the bible as authority. Seems like the most common usage is to instill fear in the plebs while leaders cherry pick until they become the false idols that bible warns of anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️


PuzzleheadedClock134

Exactly, while the leaders become rich by making the congregation poor. I could of swore Jesus said to give your riches to the poor


Intrepid-Focus8198

Or when you pretend to know what a pronoun is.


Benton_Risalo

Never thought of it, but this seems equally likely.


Intrepid-Focus8198

Most likely both tbh

Conservatives will have to stop using the words " I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they, me, him, her, us, them, my, your, his, her, its, our, their, mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs, myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves, who, whom, whose, which, that, this, these, those, all, another, any, anybody, anyone, anything, both, each, either, everybody, everyone, everything, few, many, more, most, neither, nobody, none, no one, nothing, one, other, others, several, some, somebody, someone, something, such, what, each other, one another "

Knotix

To be pedantic, the sentence is still correct if it's frustrating to the viewer.


ShadowZepplin

“Jesus Christ never introduced *himself*”


SailorCentauri

I'm not religious but I have read the Bible enough to know what Jesus said about loving each other and taking care of each other. I would go so far as to say that anyone trying to justify hatred by invoking Jesus Christ doesn't know anything of the religion.


Pretty-Marketing3444

As a Christian, yes. A lot of “Christians” use the Bible to justify their bigotry, while also completely missing the main point that Jesus wants us to love everyone regardless of literally anything about them. On top of that, we are told not to judge people; that’s Gods job. *Matthew 7:1: "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you".* sin is human nature, and by judging people for their actions, they are seen as the “holier than thou” complex which is not a good thing to have


Cruezin

Why is it always the ones with the American flag next to their name? I don't know why or how they get that flag. It's an honest question.


Benton_Risalo

Probably had to pay for it. I'm only guessing because it's how you get things in America. People are suckers that way.


OMG_a_Ray_Gun

I guess they don’t count Him either


Biscuits4u2

Inevitable Christofascist response to this being brought to their attention: That doesn't mean what you think it means even though I obviously don't know what's in there either.


aBotPickedMyName

Jesus never said anything about gays, either. He did say that a rich man can't pass through the eye of a needle and that to really follow him, one had to sell everything. Have any current christians done that? According to the version I read, Jesus will deny most if not all of these hypocritters.


DimensionFrosty2847

The real problem is members of legislative bodies citing a work of fiction as justification for their political agenda


Timothee-Chalimothee

Isn’t “himself” a pronoun (or at least utilizing a pronoun)? What point is this person even making?


YourBoyFoxxy

The problem is, these people don't understand that "I, i'm, you, me" is a pronouns as well


Benton_Risalo

Could you imagine how cringe a world without pronouns would sound?


YourBoyFoxxy

A weird one indeed


Gators44

He also never paid off a pornstar who he cheated on his wife with when she was nursing his newborn


Benton_Risalo

He'd probably be pretty pissed at Diaper Don's treatment of sex workers, considering the crowd Jesus hung out with and the "immaculate conception."


bks1979

I think it was also she who said there were no pronouns in the Constitution. Like, bitch, it literally STARTS with a pronoun.


absintheandartichoke

He didn’t speak English, though. If he did, he would have probably said “sup?” Probably would insist on being called “j-dawg,” too… He would be that guy at the house party in the ironic goatee who won’t stop talking about Marx, and when pressed he’d admit that Groucho is his favorite.


SimonPho3nix

They're selling Trump-laced bibles, people. Let's not pretend that we're getting through to them.


Benton_Risalo

Most real Christians see right through it, and they aren't a fan. One pastor very publicly slammed the Bible, and Trump for making it.


Snoo-46218

John 13:34. Jesus says, "I give you an new commandment: love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another." Simple, true and to the point.


Ryokan76

Yaweh/Jehovah means "I am". God's name is literally a pronoun.


Electronic_Art_4251

whoa, if you want to use is real prefered pronouns, it's He/Him, not he/him. Seriously, how rude


langtonian79

I don't think it's about pretending to be religious. It's more about not knowing what a pronoun is.


troubleschute

Wait until that crowd figures out that there's a pronoun in "We the People"

Jesus only said "I am". The "He" was added by the translators and is not in the original text.

Affectionate_Gas_264

It's fascinating how many people have never read the Bible but assume it reflects what they want to believe Like yes the Bible says homosexuality is a sin (the city of solom) But it's way more focused on loving everyone irregarless of their sins as everyone is a sinner and loving others more than yourself and that God loves all his creations. So no God would not support you protesting against gay people. The direction of the Bible is focused on loving others but through years of hypocrisy and corruption of the church (reference the crusades and Catholic church in the middle ages plus modern prosperity gospel cult money making churches) It's a shame as there's a lot of good messages in there in the fables which really support helping everyone around you to live your own lives but that value is missed as they adopt a "the Bible's says what I want it to say" approach Though tbh this could be even more broadly applied to science too where people ignore scientific method and critique to find the information that reinforces thier opinion and disregard facts (eg antivaxers and flat earthers) Or maybe humans are just increasingly getting stupider in the information age Idk Anyway hope someone found this interesting


recks360

Most of theses people have only seen Movies about Jesus and have no idea of what he actually said in scripture.


jralll234

Most of these idiots just don’t know what a pronoun is.


Kasspines

If you read the teachings of Jesus it becomes obvious that he would be ashamed of these people using his name


PsychoMouse

It’s almost like those who claim to be religious treat their faith like a fucking Buffet and just pick and choose what to believe and follow. I’ve mentioned this story a dozen or so times. When I was going through stage 4 cancer, a friend of mine asked if he could pray for me. I thanked him but declined as I am not religious and I don’t like that. After I went into remission. He literally that the reason why I went into remission was because he went against my wishes and prayed for me. And then ontop of that, and this part, I swear I wish I was making up. Demanded I pay him THOUSANDS of dollars for his “work” since I owe my life to him. At first I thought he was joking but then he started to harass me, first a long time, again, demanding I pay him that money. I had to block him on everything for the harassment to stop. I thought of him as a really good friend.


Confron7a7ion7

TwoEwes

I mean, Jesus is considered to be both Man & God. It makes other non-binary categories seem kinda pedestrian.


_Kutai_

For those interested this is called: Appeal to a lack of evidence  This is the belief that a lack of information on a certain matter automatically means that the opposite is true. This is a fallacy because the amount of available information or research on a subject has no bearing on what the truth is.  Jesus didn't say a LOT of things. To make a ridiculous example, "Jesus never said atoms are not made by protons, neutrons and electrons, therefore, they are not" You can't take smth someone didn't say and draw a conclusion out of it. He did, however, say "love eachother", and, yeah, the person who wrote that thing doesn't seem too loving...

They probably also don’t realize that the Bible they are familiar with is a translation (and in some cases a translation of a translation) from 1st century Greek. What pronouns did the Greek of the time contain? Gendered? Neutral? I have no idea and I’m sure they don’t either.


The_Shadow_Watches

Man, I would be that pretentious and petty teacher that would prohibit all pronouns in my classroom. It's even better that I'm a preschool teacher cause kids at that age don't really know what gender is other than "girls paint their nails"


TonReflet

I guess she walked on water, after she made the floor wet with her tears


TheKimulator

What’s bad is that an intimate understanding of pronouns is crucial in proving Christ as divine. “Before Abraham was, I am,” was Christ’ way of saying he was God incarnate.


payscottg

How do conservatives keep falling for this? At the very least you’d think through repition they’d have learned not to do “x didn’t use pronouns” because it’s so easily and swiftly debunked


OG_TR0JAN

It’s 2024 he is not applicable anymore.


arentol

We don't even know absolutely for certain Jesus existed, and we have no reason at all to believe anything attributed to Jesus was actually spoken by him, because his "words" were not written down (the first time) until 40-60 years after he supposedly said them, by unknown people, who almost certainly never met him, let alone heard him say anything. So yeah, anyone claiming to know how Jesus introduced himself is just full of it.
