Eh, Jesus told us we'd be hated. So, no big surprises here.And people wonder why the "majority" of so-called "Christians" end up being as hated as they are.
You'd be loved a lot more if a lot more of you were lesser-grade assholes and stopped trying to enforce your religion on everyone else. A fairly small percentage of you behave in a Christ-like fashion.Eh, Jesus told us we'd be hated. So, no big surprises here.
of course doesn't mean it's true. But it's a likely explanation. I can't think of a more plausible explanation on why OnlyFans would do this to themselves willingly.

Atheist and Agnostic people would be loved more if they weren't grade A assholes every time any religion is mentioned and resorted to name calling, belittling and such. Trying to force their non-beliefs on others. A large percentage of non-faith based people are hypocritical and don't even realize it. Ironic, isn't it?You'd be loved a lot more if a lot more of you were lesser-grade assholes and stopped trying to enforce your religion on everyone else.

Those nasty atheists trying to force you to live a certain way? Those nasty-wasty agnostics beating you for being straight? Banning your healthcare options because they disagree with it?Atheist and Agnostic people would be loved more if they weren't grade A assholes every time any religion is mentioned and resorted to name calling, belittling and such.

Being loved more by the world isn't exactly the plan. Besides, becoming 'Christ-like' isn't magic, it's not like priests/pastors wave a wand over our heads and presto - we are perfect. Takes time, prayer and practice - admittedly, not enough of us put in the effort; and then, still not perfect, but better.You'd be loved a lot more if a lot more of you were lesser-grade assholes and stopped trying to enforce your religion on everyone else.

Huh. That feels weird, since your religion is supposed to be centered on #1 loving god #2 loving your neighbor as yourself, straight out of J-dog's mouth. What is "the plan" then? I thought y'all were mostly supposed to behave yourselves until Armageddon shows up and sorts out the good from the bad.Being loved more by the world isn't exactly the plan.
Well, yeah, that much is apparentBesides, becoming 'Christ-like' isn't magic, it's not like priests/pastors wave a wand over our heads and presto - we are perfect. Takes time, prayer and practice - admittedly, not enough of us put in the effort; and then, still not perfect, but better.
My main point was, there are assholes on both sides, it's human nature. You're just choosing a side. There is hypocrisy saying that religion is trying to dictate <insert argument here>, because you are at the same time saying that non-religious people are automatically right and correct. Who says your opinion is more important that the other group? We call that bigotry as well. Can't lump everyone together and hate on all people who have religious faith.Those nasty atheists trying to force you to live a certain way?

I don't see atheists knocking on people's doors telling them to abandon their god. Atheists aren't trying to regulate what I can do with my body based on their mythology.
FYI: I'm neither atheist or agnostic. There's no hypocrisy in trying to keep religion from dictating governance.
I hear enough about it, somebody must be. I've never even gone there, but I was thinking about starting one of my own to get some of that niche porn money.You guys seem upset by this, were you actually giving this site money? I guess someone must.
That's really not what I'm saying though, I'm saying that making laws based on one specific religion enforced on all citizens is wrong.My main point was, there are assholes on both sides, it's human nature. You're just choosing a side. There is hypocrisy saying that religion is trying to dictate <insert argument here>, because you are at the same time saying that non-religious people are automatically right and correct.
I'm not saying my opinion is more important, they're free to live according to their religious law, I just don't want it applied to everyone else against their will. I absolutely don't hate on all people who have religious faith, I've had friends who were devout Christians and Muslims (no devout Jewish friends, just slacker Jewish friends )Who says your opinion is more important that the other group? We call that bigotry as well. Can't lump everyone together and hate on all people who have religious faith.
Anyways, completely off-topic. Don't want to derail the thread. Enjoy your weekend man.
For us to be a sign of contradiction in the world, as Christ was. What did you expect? He was crucified on a cross by the Romans at the urging of those he was laying his life down for. Not the thinking of someone with 'worldly' aspirations.Huh.

TBF, that was apparently the only way your god could come up with to allow you to be cleansed of the original sin. IDGI, but if it makes you happy and you aren't making me do it, then have fun awaiting the RaptureFor us to be a sign of contradiction in the world, as Christ was. What did you expect?

I'm only covering the wisdom of the business/marketing decision not how smart it is to drink cans of sweet-tasting battery acid for pleasure!
Well, you just put down the nearly the entirety of that Congress that passed it.Reminds me of the retarded FOSTA law morons responsible for removing all sexual content from Craigslist etc.
All about catching sex-traffickers my a$$.... all that law did was hurt sex workers and HELP the bad people that ACTUALLY DO traffic in selling minors hide from sight. (Just like with weed ... LEGALIZE, TAX and most importantly REGULATE to keep workers safe!)
All that bull$hit was about was forcing other folks morals down everyone's throats and HARM was ALL IT CAUSED.
And people wonder why the "majority" of so-called "Christians" end up being as hated as they are.

Not saying anyone's wright or wrong. Just pointing out it was a very bipartisan pass.

Next time you talk to him...remind him that he still has to finish my yard work...
I haven't looked deeply into the matter, but I don't disagree with your general sentiments.I am .... passing FOSTA was retardedly stupid and hurts FAR more than it helps. If they gave 2 $hits about sex workers (OR trafficked kids) they would do something meaningful to help them be safer in the first place.
FOSTA = a bunch of old folks with literally zero understanding of the internet and the situation of sex-workers in America making a stupid decision based on a combination of ignorance, superstitious beliefs and sheer stupidity. (AND political correctness ... after all it IS for the children right?)
I haven't looked deeply into the matter, but I don't disagree with your general sentiments.
I don't believe it's just stupidity and ignorance that led to a near-unanimous passage of the law though. It's more PR and appearances imo.
I would suspect it was to placate the public by giving the appearance that government was doing something for a few incidents that had occurred with disastrous results from backpage deals, as in death. One guy, James C. Brown was a backpage murderer. Desiree Robinson was different. She got murdered and her mom sued the site. Suits were filed against backpage and dismissed.
Even the current Vice President, then States' Attorney of California, tried her hand to prosecute the owners of backpage criminally, and I don't think she has lived a "conservative" life. https://www.newsweek.com/backpage-sex-trafficking-case-ferrer-harris-531187
It may not be that the politicians did not understand, but rather they wanted to end the stream of bad news from backpage that constantly entered into the local court system and news cycle. That's what politicians don't want, is the foulest segments of society making themselves far too prominent in the news cycle and legal system. Better to let them do their dirty acts under the table and away from the lights. I suspect the politicians did get exactly what they wanted, except Rand Paul and Wyden.
