It’s real. Published one day ago:
baptistnews.com/…/men-only-gyms-seek-to-protect-c…
The site isn’t what you might think, though. It’s got some good writeups, and spicy ones:

As the empirical evidence for the threat white Christian nationalism presents to pluralistic democracy has mounted over the past decade, various insider defenders of conservative white Christianity — and even some mainstream white Christian theologians — have alleged the term is simply a cudgel. Those who qualify as Christian nationalists on public opinion surveys, they argue, only want to see a role for their faith in the public square…
Donald Trump is an abuser. He is an adjudicated rapist and predator. Donald Trump is a grifter. He is a well-known con man who gets away with the con because so many don’t want to talk about it. Donald Trump is a liar unlike any liar most of us ever have known. And there are enormous consequences to his perpetual lying. Donald Trump is literally the most dangerous man in the world, and you want to label me with “Trump Derangement Syndrome” for saying that.

Porn addiction is not a thing. It’s a made up concept slung around by christofascist chuds to hide their actual problem, which is that they have no self control and no respect for others’ boundaries.

This is a ridiculous measure. I am a Christian, I go to the gym (mixed) and I go, work out and then go home. While it is true that some people, men and women alike, go to the gym to “show skin and muscle”, the vast majority go to stay healthy and try (sometimes failing miserably, like me) to be a bit healthier and lose some weight.
Now, let’s hear all the people here tell me how being a Christian makes me a far-right Republican pedophile homophobic whatever else.
That way of thinking is so tiresome. If I’m not gay, it makes me a homophobic, if I disagree with anything left-leaning, it makes me a Nazi, if I disagree with anything right-leaning, now I’m a liberal.
While I am disgusted to no end at how so many people is dumping on Jesus, I do understand that the only cure for ignorance is not wanting to be ignorant anymore and doing something about it, like having open minded conversations instead of doing, well, that which I mentioned above.
No wonder this world is failing the way it is. Hopefully more people will understand the merciful sacrifice of Jesus so that everyone that trusts Him does not ‘die’, but Jas access to eternal life. We all will be removed from this world at some point. Make what you will from this, I for one want to be able to enjoy a new earth when it’s time. And if I am wrong, well, no harm done, it is what it is, but if right, I certainly don’t want to risk the consequences.
stumu415@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
I was with you the first 4 paragraphs. But than the Him and merciful stuff started and you lost me.
That is part of why I personally can’t get on board with any religion. In one way or the other, it always gets snuck in and subtly trying to convert you.
Yes, for the open conversation. Yes to the fact there is no middle ground anymore and everything is extreme. Yes this whole gym thing is ridiculous.
But no to the Middle Eastern carpenter’s sacrifice, eternal life and a new earth.
BTW no downvote from me because I respect your opinion. Even if it is definitely not for me.

I really appreciate it man. See? We disagree, and that’s fine, I bet we can also go out for a beer together and dig deeper into this, and into how we’re royally messed up in terms of our privacy in the internet and every other aspect of our lives. Thank you. I also respect your beliefs.

Your first paragraph was enough. You didn’t need to go on a schizo rant against somebody that isn’t here cause you feel a constant need to defend yourself.
jjlinux@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
How is it a content need of this is the first time I post about this? And I’m not defending anything, I’m mainly stating my personal facts based on my beliefs, just like everyone else.
rontosaurus@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Genuinely, as a 15+ year former AoG Christian, you’re not being persecuted man, and neither is Christianity. It’s all an act keep you on the defensive like this and running back to the church because everyone is out to get you and them.
You’re just fine on your own man, and you are a stronger force for good when you are doing it for yourself. It’s scary but just think about it for a bit, and don’t be afraid to question the things you know in your heart are questionable. All the best to you.
jjlinux@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
I fully agree with you. The Assembly of God, just like any other church associations out there, are man made and their sole purpose is to manipulate the masses. And even more importantly, church is just a place I go to, going or not going has absolutely no bearing in my faith. All men are flawed, none of us can claim perfection. And finally, I can absolutely make it on ky own with God, I don’t need other people for this. I do, however, like going to church every now and then, but it’s not like I will drop delivering a time sensitive project because I have to go to church, that’s focusing on the things of this world, and I’m not interested.
I was part of a pentecostal church once, those tend to be incredibly toxic and full of lies.

How’s being a far-right Republican pedophile homophobic whatever else working out for you? You happy? Can you go say it to yourself in the mirror?

May I ask, since you believe in magical sky fairies, why you don’t just pray for bigger muscles?
Is it because you know prayer achieves nothing and there is no god?
jjlinux@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Simple. Though I am (currently, until the day I die) part of this world, my main concern is to make sure my soul, and as many as I can possibly tell about Jesus’ love, is saved. Everything else is not really a priority. In my faith, you may call it fantasy, my priorities are God, my family (wife and kids specifically) and my job, in that same order. The rest (going ro church, friends, video games, relatives, physical improvement, etc) Ia secondary and none of them have a specific priority order. That will entirely depend on the moment and circumstances. I hope that answers your question.

Personal experience with the Christian-cult: mentally-ill individuals who refuse medical help corralled by narcissistic abusers. Being mentally-ill they make disastrous life-decisions creating hell-on-earth for their progeny. You people are clowns. My disdain for you can not be overstated. Your pastas are narcissists. Stop re-reading the same book that’s been repeatedly translated through the eons into different languages–with more edits than any Wikipedia article–hoping you’ll find an esoteric cure to soothe your self-loathing. You won’t. Leave your cult. Find medical help.
From the outside it appears these people are walking contradictions: they’re the most hateful people you’ll meet, yet they preach goodness to all men. Once religion was decoupled from the state it became a voluntary institution. The cults of Christianity attract self-loathing individuals who feel they need an external structure to keep them in line. That’s why you find so many pedophiles in these cults. They’re mentally ill.
Cults should be taxed. Doomsday-cults with a sole focus on expansion (like the cults of Christianity) should be disbanded by force. Healthcare is a human right. States should be providing appropriate care for the mentally-ill. Education is a human right too and cults are a road-block for the state’s pursuit of universal education.
A daily reminder for Australian comrades: Sanitarium is the for profit arm of a doomsday-cult. Do not fund them through the purchase of their products. Do not buy Weet-Bix™, Up & Go™, etc… Advocate for cults to be taxed.
Cults have flourished here. They’re dangerous and degenerative to society. theguardian.com/…/the-family-great-white-brotherh…
From their flock are selected the most deranged for political office. From their financing we get absolute mongrels in politics, like the insipid Scott Morrison: holder of every privilege, but never accountable. Shirking every responsibility placed on him. He would not hold a hose if you were on fire. He’d watch you burn; he’d do everything to not do anything whilst sending thoughts and prayers; he’d then go on a holiday and bill the tax-payer for it and removed that people didn’t want to shake his hand.
It’s time to put a stop to all these demented cults. Never entertain them.

I mean, when I go to the gym I can’t give a fuck less about who is there. Crazy mofo that lives in the dumpster out back could be in there flipping tables….you do you, just don’t hog the equipment and rack your weights bro.
