    Why would they have to block anything? Surely a real Christian wouldn’t be interested in any of that in the first place!

        I like how it’s always Satan playing tricks.

        Why isn’t it their god just making sure they’re worth getting into the afterlife?

          It gets so so much worse once you unpack this.

          Consider these two points:

          • God is omnipotent, i.e. He can create or destroy or do anything He wants.
          • God is omniscient, i.e. He knows what happened, happens and will happen, and everything about the world He created.

          With the powers He has, He:

          • Intentionally created humans that would fall for apple trick (as an omniscient being, He knew in advance they will)
          • Intentionally created Satan to set the scene
          • Dramatically exiled humans from heavens as if it’s their fault (knowing full well it’s His work, not theirs)

          So, instead of just making a swarm of loyal creatures, he decided to be playful and make those creatures eternally ashamed of themselves, struggling to earn His approval even when He actively made their lives miserable through cataclysms, genocides, and all sorts of calamities.

          He’s literally a celestial “why are you hitting yourself?” bully, expecting to bully billions of people into servitude.

            It makes more sense from the Gnostic mythological perspective. When you frame the Old Testament God as a Trump-type character who ignorantly claims to be all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful, and the only God, because he really doesn’t know any better, then the behavior you see in the Old Testament kind of tracks.

            And if gayness is wrong, why did he make his creatures (non-human) participate in it? Homosexuality has been documented in thousands of species around the globe.

              Because only humans are intentionally and thoroughly engineered after the God himself, the rest is decorations and game, obviously.

              do not ask why God has urine and semen coming from the same place, where did He take inspiration for a woman and why the hell did He create periods, or a million other curious questions

    This is my favorite type of Christian hate because all it does is hurt/inconvenience Christians.

    Which is supremely funny, because the religious states always have the highest porn consumption. Which I guess means they wont get many customers.

    Christian fundamentalists would prefer to ban a lot of things for everyone. Since they cannot do that, they resort to the next best thing, which is to ban them for their own crowd. But the main objective is to have every device be like that. If this phone network establishes itself in the long run, it will be a big L for all of us.

    You know who didn’t block sex-workers and Queer people? Jesus.

    (Jesus offends the religious authorities more than a few times because of His associations, notably “prostitutes”–with a later tradition holding that the woman to whom Jesus’ return from death was first revealed, Mary Magdalene, was herself a sex-worker; as for Queer followers in the Bible, Jesus makes reference to “eunuchs” and Jesus Himself seems to fit on the asexual scale)

    Nothing more Christian than hating a group of people. Jesus, famous for all the hate he had.

    So… can we start a network that blocks all Jesus-centric, Christian junk? Nope, I’m sure they would call discrimination or some other hypocritical reason 🙃

    That’s one of the scary things about all this “age verification” bs. Not only is it just mass surveillance, but in “protecting minors” from “adult content” those of us who identify as LGBTQ are labelled as adult content just for existing by these fundamentalists. Entire swaths of people will be banned just for existing, especially once Palantir gets as much data as possible and flags IDs and faces as LGBTQ dissidents.
