religious ppl are so pathetic 

just cuz yall live your lives a certain wait does not mean you can take our freedom of speech/expression away. look away just like yall look away when kids are slaughtered in schools or when priests SA kids in church

I mean ur talking about freedom of expression using something from THEIR beliefs

 

While i will never defend religion when it comes to the hypocracy that comes from it, i do get the point of view of not liking some of their sacred symbols used in any old fashioned

 

Its super easy to think someone is over reacting and is no big deal when something is not sacred to you. Its the kind of thing one person can be sensitive about and the next person couldnt get less than 2 sh*ts because it means nothing to them

 

I hate catholacism. But I can also try to be unbiased, and despite my distaste of them as a whole, i still get where the idea of not wanting stuff from your beliefs portrayed in any old way comes from. Its not that pathetic if u try to pyt uself in someone elses shoes and stuff that means nothing to you could mean to someone else

 

At least thats my opinion.

I love blasphemy but this just looks cheap and tacky.

That look need more "oomph", Rita. Try again

youre missing my point 

im saying religious ppl are mad about ppl misusing religious iconography but then they vote for ppl who allow kids to get shot up in schools - and also look the other way when their own religious leaders assault their kids. 

they have bigger fish to fry than someone posing as the virgin mary.

In that context sure, i agree one is a bigger issue and hypocritical. It just sounded like u were saying its dumb in general to not like others using their imagery especially when u went on about artistic expression freedom (which has nothing to do with kids getting shot)

 

Also i like to give ppl the benefit of the doubt if i dont know something for sure. Not all religious ppl are Trump supporters or right wing lunatics (my parents included btw, they do not like guns or very conservative politics but they are also religious and would not like seeing some of these things in entertainment and theres plenty of ppl like that, its not a small number)...

 

U can not know that all the ppl complaining about this Virgin Mary stuff online are also Republican voters (or the same version of in their respective Countries) who are horny for gun rights making the hypocritical priorities ur talking about. Theres plenty of religious ppl who do not necessairily fit that Southern USA Republican sterotype and still might not like imagery used a certain way. Thats one type of religious people in one Country. Theres many more types of ppl that dont fit that 1 particular stereotype.

 

The internet puts everyone in a narrow category way too much and what may appear or give the impression of ALWAYS be the same ppl in generalized comments ignoring one issue while hyperfocusing on the lesser may in fact not necessairily always be the same individuals

 

Its way too easy to say "these ppl" when its online rehtoric because all the comments blur together by categories of ppl and its impossible to actually know its always the same ppl. In many cases it may not be, but its going to appear to be

I'll wait for the photoshoot to be released since there are usually edits and added effects 

However, it's rich how Christians are so easily offended when people talk about THEIR religion but they have ZERO issue condemning and making fun of others...

Overall...Im not religious so I dont see anything wrong and some people just need to get over themselves 

[skaxboy 5,676]

Those tweets have like double digit likes. Hardly any controversy except at the styling of it. 
 

It’s like when she showed up to a Will Smith street performance and the crowd went mild.

I would agree, were Christianity not so ubiquitous in the West.

I think when you have a church in every town, you have your religious symbols and practices encoded into law (in both the UK, where she is from, and the US) and your beliefs have influenced Western history and thought for hundreds of years, you slightly lose ownership over your own symbols. When people have to hear about religion in schools, government and society at-large, it's a bit absurd to say 'you have to be surrounded by our symbols, but can't use them yourself'.

I guess for ppl who want to push it in culture that definitely applies. And maybe in some Countries

 

Where I am from U do not have to learn any christianity in schools (catholic schools do exist but thats optional).

 

I do get what ur saying about mainstream culture tho U have a bit of a point. But to be fair, the majority of ppl dont get too worked up about a simple costume. Its when they do something more controversial as Madonna often did that ppl get more ofended, and I get that to a degree

 

Also on the point about the hypocracy above I was responding to someone else to (which is a bit different than what ur getting at) i still stand by. The internet can be very misleading. Its easy to assume its always the same individuals saying one thing then something else. But it may not always necessairily be the same individuals everytime. Sometimes it may just appear that way

 

Its easy to see a religious person comment on being offended by imagery and then a seperate comment also by a religious right winger all focused on gun freedoms and conclude its disgusting where the religious ppls priorities lie

 

Meanwhile in reality, while that may describe many ppl, how would you know that the person who made the comment about the imagery is also in the same group of ppl who complain they wanna keep their gun freedoms as the user was suggesting? In reality you dont actually know. And many of the ppl may in fact not necessairily be in both camps simultaneously. But in the internet where all the comments blur together, its always going to appear that way no matter what

 

The only reason im ranting about this is because i find its an issue that can apply to many other issues as well not just the one were discussing. The internet makes as generalize groups way too much because u dont see individuals, u see comments and groups of ppl. And when its an opposing side ull see what appears to only be hypocracy all the time but sometimes it isnt even the same people that said one thing then the other

 

It creates far too much division due to perception and I blame it for some of the increased polarization that didnt seem to be as severe before social media
