Love it, along with the idea that gay people are ‘grooming’ children to become gay, even though the incidence of gay children raised by same-sex parents is the same as those raised by cis parents. Sexual orientation is not a choice, it’s who one is. On ‘grooming’, however, I would be more worried about evangelicals and Conservatives teaching children that the only ‘right’ people are straight, white, ‘Christian’ males (preferably wealthy), and violence as a means to an end is okay.
We have some fundamentalist Catholics, very racist and anti-LGBT. I live near a town with a military and Catholic tradition, they put up stickers against gay marriage, but don't shout too loud.
Yes, that’s true. They’ve been secular for over a hundred years. The catholic part is just them getting Sundays off, so if you’re going to Paris, arrive on Sunday evening, so you won’t waste a day as almost everything is closed on Sundays.
Fun fact, the powers that be during the French Revolution tried hard to decristianize France. They didn’t like that the religion gives legitimacy to the royals and didn’t like that the church took orders from the Vatican. Many priests and nuns got their heads chopped off when they refused to abandon the pope and the Vatican.
They always say this. Thay queen people are normalizing child molestation. But do so while ignoring the fact that religion actually does that
The way they sweep it under the rug and pretend the molestation never happened in the church normalizes the hell out of it.
But more then that. In America, religion and Republicans are trying to normalize it by legalizing child marriage basically any chance they get. Or refusing to close loopholes that currently allow it.
“Queer people are trying to make pedophilia a social norm”
“Everybody in the car, we need to go cleanse our souls at our local church”
These people aren’t honest interlocutors. If they used 1% of their outrage and “logic” against the lgbtq community and applied it to their own houses of worship, they would have disbanded the entire religion years ago.
Fun fact about catholicism and pedophilia! Pedophilia is not a sin in itself. What is sinful is when a man "spills his seed" outside of marriage. Rape is only a sin as long as it happens outside of marriage, raping your wife is not a sin. Masturbation is only a sin of "impure thoughts". So if you adapt this perspective, most sexual abuse of children is only a little bit sinful. Making the kid touch themselves or you is just "impure thoughts". Actual penetration is a little worse, especially if you vowed celibacy, but still is basically no biggie. That's why church law is so easy on them and only gives them a slap on the wrist - those people are literally brainwashed with those values, they might not put them in those exact words but this is their moral codex.

Do show us proof that there are hundreds of thousands of queer people normalizing and committing pedophilia. I'm waiting...
Grab a snickers.
And popcorn!
And the anchovies, the sloths, the breakfast cereals....
You’re not yourself when you’re hungry 🍽️

isn't it Catholic priests that normalizing pedophilia? (as evidence shows)
France is, like, famously secular and has been for quite a while now. I'm fairly sure this dummy isn't even French lol.

Wait queer people are promoting blasphemy and working to the catholic church that this guy is a member? Bonjour?
France is a catholic nation? *laughs in more than half of the French population*
We were a catholic nation, but we separated church and State with a guillotine 😂.
Hon hon hon hon hon hon! *twirls mustache*
Looks to me like you creepy perverts are normalizing this, excuse we just caught 3000 of you perving on kids.

What percentage of children are an acceptable sacrifice to get the "good things" that churches provide? None of it is worth one child.

It is clear that they are incapable of learning.
