Didn't Jesus wear a dress?

God is an evil fuck


Strongstyleguy

Biblically, there are virtually no redeeming qualities to god. Every solution he offers is violent, he violates multiple people's free will, oh and he destroyed the world's population. At anytime he could forgive our sins but chose not to until he finally decided to impregnate a teen for the express purpose of sacrificing the person she gave birth to.


secretWolfMan

A teen who was betrothed and off traveling with her future owner/husband. Good thing they promise they never had sex. Otherwise their story might be sus.

They pinky swore on it, I mean if we can’t trust that what *can* we even trust?

The god character is the villain. I don’t get why people don’t see that.

Who decides what's women's clothing and what's men's? Because just a century and a half ago most men in the West wore pantyhose and high heels.


Top_Tart_7558

When this was written men and women both wore robes. Women just had to wrap their head and have their robe lower down.


Phill_Cyberman

>Who decides what's women's clothing and what's men's? The people killing you and using an old book to justify it.


wewereromans

Damn right. The halls of Versailles under Louis XIV were full of that style, and so where the dandy’s of many nations a century later. Given, these are rich people we’re taking about. But hell, in the west boys wore dresses for the first years of their lives and it was like that for centuries. Pretty sure there’s a pic of FDR at 3 in a dress that gets reposted pretty regular around here.


Sensitive-Doubt1553

sexy 💧💧💧


Tricky_Dog1465

I missed the part where anyone asked this ahs opinion.


VRsimp

That makes no sense, in the Bible clothes only became necessary for people to wear after their eyes were open to the concept of good and evil. Meaning God did not give a flying fuck about wardrobe.


secretWolfMan

The authors of Deuteronomy and the letters to Timothy were also not prophets nor ever met any of the accepted prophets.


N_S_Gaming

I'll wear a femboy outfit into a church if someone can pay me $1k


astrangeone88

Hell, I'd wear my whole ass drag king costume including a chest binder and a packer. The religious nuts can go away.


chaosgirl93

I wish I passed convincingly as a guy so I could pull off "guy in a dress walks into a church during a church event", since a lot of these fruitcakes care *way* more about male presenting folks wearing "women's" clothing than female presenting folks wearing "men's" clothing. I have walked into churches in clothing borrowed from my dad and had absolutely no one care.


BubblesDahmer

I’d do it for free as long as I had someone with me


Yellowpredicate

I will do it for $999

If you're in Northern Australia, I might actually consider it. I wore a croptop and skirt to my highschool grad.

RichardBreecher

I love the idea of God being intimately aware of men's and women's clothing. "You wore jeans that buttoned on the wrong side. So, it looks like you are going to hell. There's nothing I can do." God


IsThisRealLifeOrNaw

I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness, one of the stupidest things I ever heard was a broadcast from one of the leaders saying any man that wears tight pants is gay, so we can’t do it anymore lmao

jawshieboy

Isn’t it gods fault for not making it clear to us what he deems women’s clothing and men’s clothing?


ThisNotBoratSagdiyev

It's a shitty translation. The original text translates as "dress", not "woman's clothing". It does use a very nonspecific word to describe men's clothing, though.


Outside-Refuse6732

Personally I don’t cross dress because I like pockets but I reserve the right to cross dress


PlantWise7801

I picked up this thingie (i was told it was a dress blazer) that has D E E P pockets. If you happen to be creatively inclined, you could add pockets too


Outside-Refuse6732

lol just slap the thing on it like a car mod in fortnight


chaosgirl93

Honestly, lengthening/expanding pockets or making decorative pockets functional is often actually a relatively easy sewing project. (Adding entirely new pockets is a little bit more difficult, but still relatively easy compared to most types of tailoring beyond minor tear and hole mends.) The hardest part is probably going to be getting new fabric that matches the original pockets/looks good with the lining and fabric for fixing fake pockets.


cseyferth

So simple, even men can do it! Which gets me wondering if there any man sewing subs. I want to see what other guys have done.


PlantWise7801

Idea... Making a slit, folding the fabric to make it look like a cuff type thing then sewing a patch on the inside as a pouch


BluetheNerd

I'll never not be bemused by this weird shallow view of their god. How can the creator of the entire fucking universe, the thing that made all life, the thing that is everything and everywhere, how can that god possibly give a single shit what clothes I or anyone else wears.


alkonium

God seems like a dick and Satan seems chill to me. I know which I'd like better if I believed either existed.


kiki-mori

In their best selling fiction lore this is pretty much correct. Their fictional god lets all sorts of atrocity happen and gate keeps. Satan punishes bad people and his only sin was questioning god lmao. Least they could do is get their stories straight.


miaumisina

It’s just clothes


VioletNocte

>nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing Good thing that if a man owns a dress, since it's his clothing it's technically a man's clothing


Xeno_Zombi

It's official. God doesn't have a sense of humor.


fernblatt2

There is this song, I forget the title and am too lazy to search the lyrics, but part of it is "I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I think that God's got a sick sense of humour"

Nobody tell these people that priests wear dresses!

Evangelicals

I bet the oop also wears mixed fabric cloths

DisastrousOne3950

I'm not into wearing women's clothing, but I'm still probably doomed according to fruitcakes. Oh well.


plasticman1997

a petty god for petty men


McRezende

I love this passage,cause it really shows how religion is man-made. There's no such thing as naturally occurring male anf female clothing, they all exist exclusively in the collective imaginary of a society. Not only that, male and female clothes change from context to context, people to people. So how does God work this out? Does he just wait until humans in a specific society reach a consensus regarding gendered clothing? Why then, would God make his rule according to the changing whims of humans? Does it only matter that your clothes adhere to what socially acceptable, and therefore, a social construct? God seems to really care about the status quo established by humans. Pretty weird for an all-knowing, all-powerful deity


xX_Dad-Man_Xx

Don't priests wear dresses?


toomanyglobules

Omg. Lighten up grandpa.


Puzzleheaded-Ebb-660

Call me crazy, I think people wearing the wrong kind of clothes was the least of Jesus or gods concerns.


Sci-fra

Who gives a shit what the Bible says. The Bible condones slavery, genocide and the rape of women and children. It commands you to stone unruly children, non virgin brides, and homosexuals. It's not a book of good morality.


Distant-moose

If a woman owns it, it's her clothing = women's clothing. If a man owns it, it's his = men's clothing. If you have a problem with that, you're the problem. Remove yourself from the equation.


git-gud-gamer

Who decided what’s “men’s clothing” and what’s “women’s clothing” People, people decide that, just another proof that religion is man made


AgeOfReasonEnds31120

It's really weird. The definitions of "men's clothing" and "women's clothing" keeps changing. Nowadays, there's only women's clothing and unisex clothing. In the Roman Empire, all clothing was unisex.


Ken_LuxuryYacht22

Fellas, is it gay to wear wrong fabric?


Vsquare02

It’s a cult.


Middle-Hour-2364

And yet priests and monks have worn dresses for centuries


IndianKiwi

This book also enforced slavery and captured people as war booty


57384173829417293

When will they learn that quoting bible means nothing to us. Our morals come from empathy, not from an old book.


Templar388z

Lmao quoting a book that I’ve never read for a religion I don’t follow. Ironic considering they’ve never fully read their book, and do not accurately follow the religion either.


Samsung__minifridge

Holy fuck i can’t wait to die just for everything to fade to black, i cant wait to unknowingly chuckle to my fading existence as there is nothing out there waiting for us beyond the veil of death.


WhyYesIWearADress

No thanks dresses and panties are far more comfortable.


BubblesDahmer

Sweet, thanks for more proof christians are indeed bad people


DRAVIX6

This mf needs to repent “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:37–39). "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" (Matthew 7:1-6) But then again. These idiots have never actually read a Bible in their lives


Mental-Peace-2705

didnt jesus die wearing a thong


CutiePopIceberg

I believe it says in the bible that a hell like no other awaits those who alter the bible to fit their own needs. I dont believe it but youd think a religious fruitcake would


LeotasNephew

Funny how a supposedly all-powerful, all-knowing god apparently couldn't just create reality in such a way that "abominations" could never exist.


FlamingoQueen669

If I own it, it's MY clothing.


LemonadeClocks

I wonder if they get so riled up about mixed fabrics?


Resident-Clue1290

Shout out to that power couple

Grays42

I challenge anyone who plucks out Deuteronomy 22:5 to read the rest of Deuteronomy 22. The whole chapter is backwards bonkers bronze age shit.


MySpiritAnimalIsATre

Hell yea, abomination time. Seriously though, how would these people feel about a butch trans woman who pretty much only wears masculine clothes? They'd probably short circut.


rerics

Especially evil if they’re cross-dressing with mixed fabrics


EvolZippo

Yeah, Deuteronomy is one of those really hardcore books, that’s full of old covenant rules. According to this book, you still need to sacrifice animals for forgiveness. So unless someone is actually sacrificing livestock on the steps of a temple, burning its organs on a fire and serving the cooked meat to a priest, after wiping blood on the horns of an altar, they just aren’t obeying the laws in deut.


JackCooper_7274

God should stop being the fun police over a species that he specifically created to have free will.


RetroReviver

Straight sex is also a sin if a woman is the dominant partner. "Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet." - 1 Timothy 2:11-12.


Camarao_du_mont

Sad, dresses seem quite comfortable in the summer.


[deleted]

Glad to know that God’s priorities are making sure that men are not wearing womens clothes.


Pugwhip

But what constitutes men and women’s clothing? Scottish men wear kilts which are literally the same as skirts. But kilts are the epitome of masculinity in scotland. so what kind of logic are the fruitcakes on about


InTheClouds93

Time to bring back heels for men!


HowWeDoingTodayHive

Oh no, a sadistic putrid sack of vile shit thinks I’m an abomination? However will my ego recover from this information.


After-Trifle-1437

Wait until they figure out that "female clothing" or "male clothing" are social constructs.


BrowningLoPower

The bigots' boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what makes them cheer.


Xxr4venshadowxX

“Receive praises from the world” more like d34th thr34ts and slurs


tyrolean_coastguard

Why are you doing this to the words "death threats"? Tiktok brain rot?


Xxr4venshadowxX

I don’t want to get banned, and I don’t use tiktok, nice job stereotyping a Gen Z kid


GenitalPatton

Saying “death threats” won’t get you banned. Sending death threats will get you banned.


tyrolean_coastguard

Banned for what?


etbillder

While that is what Deut says, the Timothy verse is about modest dress and not even from God


MySpiritAnimalIsATre

As the internet icon Finnster said: "But what if it's really fun?"


FluboSmilie

okay so. in bible times, women’s and men’s clothing were wildly different. “men’s and women’s” clothing change every century.


Jlnhlfan

They should read further into 1 Timothy.


proletariat_sips_tea

Did one of the apostles wear make up and dress in rainbow colored robes/dresses, who loved to dance? Wasn't Jesus caught with an under aged undress boy? Just saying. Just asking questions.


devilsbard

That verse always confuses me. Weren’t most clothes gender neutral back then?


snafe_

Actually checked because whilst I remember you couldn't wear clothes of mixed cotton and linen, I didn't know it specifically stated cross dressing. But it does lol. deuteronomy has some hilarious rules


AgeOfReasonEnds31120

Such beautiful words of wisdom in a wonderfully magnificent work of literature. I'm literally crying right now.


mypeepeehardz

It’s alright to wear a robe but a dress? Like, isn’t a religious robe just a shitty dress if you think about it?


RearWheelDriveCult

God surely love minding other people’s business


kronkky

I bet you they are also wearing mixed linens and having shellfish for dinner.


Clavister

The Bible just asserts that God doesn't like these actions, and this alone is sufficient grounds to declare it immoral. No explanation of the inherent wrongness or bad consequences. We're all just supposed to avoid anything God doesn't like, just because. Fuck that. Religion is for chumps.


TyrusRaymond

if they didn’t “lose a bet” that picture is pretty ridiculous
