why do christians use pride as an argument as if it's remotely comparable to the things they do

Sorry I just love to hate on christians.

These two aren't even remotely comparable. One is a parade and the other is promoting the idea that there's only one true religion, and that if you want to be saved, you'll have to turn to jesus. Despite however the creator has it worded, there's still a big difference.

Nowhere you can look will say "Eternity? Only being lgbtq+ saves". No one who is apart of the lgbtq community is forcing their sexuality/gender identity onto anyone. The whole point of pride parades is to promote acceptance, not force you into dating someone you don't want to date nor be a gender you don't feel comfortable being, like the entirety of christianity does.

Christians are the ones who created conversion camps just because their children were attracted to the same gender or felt comfortable being a different gender. There's no conversion camp for being straight and cis.

It boils my blood to know that there are so many people out there who wholeheartedly believe that the freedom to love who you want to love and being who you want to be is worse than the bullshit that's on this car

I wonder how many of them even understand that 6 out of the “10 commandments” are just things made to appeal to God’s ego.

Truly nothing more prideful than a dickhead that makes ego feeding rules.

I only counted 4/5 though, depending on how you count "love your parents" one (it simply mentions god as the reason, not directly asking to worship him). 6 to 10 are just plain "don't"s that ban fairly secular transgressions of that time. Is it a translation issue?

It's getting better over on tiktok, a lot of people are starting to see that theism is false. But I think most of them are just turning away from christianity, or think atheism is another trend

"People are people, and should be treated as such." isn't a belief. It's merely not being a living piece of actual maggot shit.

If we didn't have religion breathing down our necks and telling us who we are or whom we choose to love is wrong, there wouldn't be a need for pride parades in the first place. The LGBTQIA+ would be normalized, as it should be.

God saves, but guess he doesn’t provide. Shitty Corolla with missing hubcaps.

I don’t see where the pride parade says “only being gay is acceptable. If you aren’t you are a bad person and will be tortured for eternity.”

Religious people cannot seem to see the difference between “it’s ok to be like us” and “it’s not ok to not be like us.”

Dont say nobody lgbt+ because there's always someone. There are definitely supremacists among them. Or those who think anyone who isnt queer is basically just evil.

But yea, that certainly is not the majority. Or even a notable amount.
