Why the glasses, dickwad? Just run into walls like god intended for you.

I'm just like, "Cool, guess we're doing away with Viagra, too, hunh?"

crickets, I'm sure ....

[–] HenchmanNumber3@lemm.ee 26 points 2 years ago

Subpoena his Viagra prescription.

Same argument as People who wear glasses wage war against god.

Disclaimer: I believe people should use science. That's why we were given advance brains.

[–] Dr_Gabriel_Aby@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

god handed him a prescription

[–] spaceghoti@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity, how were we "given" advanced brains? And how are they advanced? Dolphins can do some amazing things with their brains that we can't.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sure I don't disagree. I'm sure the dolphins will thank us for the fish when they leave the planet as is tradition for their people. In general, I Don't see animals making wonders that shape the earth or discovering secrets of the universe. Without human intervention animals will live in the wild and they will never be anything more than that. Humanity can do more like I dk make glasses for someone that needs them.

If you don't know: IVF fertilizes an embryo in the lab and implants it into the uterus. Often multiple embryos are implanted in one procedure to ensure at least one is viable. If a plural pregnancy results, the mother can decide to "cull" the excess. (I don't remember the proper term but abort isn't it because you abort a pregnancy not an embryo)

In any case, anti-choice activists believe that all embryos are people. Which is clearly false since they don't have a detectable credit score.

I am in the IVF process right now. I keep proposing to tell every religious person I know that they aren't allowed to hug, kiss, or visit my abomination baby.

[–] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

They won't give a shit about it after it exits the womb anyway

[–] SkippingRelax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Good luck with the ivf!

[–] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago

Your omnipotent god can be defeated by humans with a few tools?

Puny god.

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Weird that a guy with a disability aid would be against modern healthcare. I know adjusting your eyesight and creating life are different, but they're honestly not that different. Both are just aids for body failures. Plus with stuff like micro plastics possibly affecting fertility, it's not like God is the one making these people less fertile. (Unless the micro plastics are part of God's plan, but if that's true, how come IVF isn't also part of God's plan??)

[–] rainynight65@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So contraception is bad, but IVF is also bad. Trying to stop yourself getting pregnant is bad. Trying to get pregnant is bad.

Can these drop kicks actually figure out what they want?

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Dudes wearing glasses talking about how other ppl shouldn't use tech to make their lives better.

[–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I have no want or need for ivf. How might I wage an assault on god?

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Donate to your local satanic temple chapter

As far as I know, I am my local TST chapter. I donate to myself constantly.

maybe that god.

my god says ' you're not boutique engineering your kids yet?! '

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's an expensive procedure, so they want to lay the groundwork to be able to exclude it from health insurance by claiming "religion."

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That just makes it sound metal.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

If we are waging a war against god, but nothing happens or changes... What the fuck kinda war is it then. The name is definitely better than the war itself.

[–] spaceghoti@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago

Pfft. There's no war if the other side never shows up. This battle was over long, long ago. Yahweh forfeited.

[–] shath@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

and we're winning you fuckin doofus eat shit

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah wage that war

[–] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

And winning 💪

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

How do we make this grounds for disqualification?

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ironic coming from someone who was clearly derived in a test tube from Dreher Material

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Uncritical support to IVF users in their assault against god

[–] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Not this shit again, they just want another group to hate against for their weird death cult hate fetish

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Even if they are, so what? "God" isn't a thing in secular life.

[–] LotrOrc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Feel like if this god is so powerful he should be able to handle a little war here and there right?

Or is the Christian god just not as strong/powerful as they want us to believe?

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Nah it's the typical "our enemies are extremely dangerous yet weak and pathetic. Our god is strong and immovable yet fragile and easily lost"

It's a bullshit manipulation tactic that is surprisingly effective

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My God is a giant dish of pasta

[–] marco@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Ramen to that.

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

It seems apparent to me that parents who create Oklahoma state senators are waging an assault against god, christian fellowship, jesus, all non-white Americans, and anyone unwise enough to be a native american. Maybe we should stop letting Oklahomophobes gain any access to pulpits or public offices.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Doesn't IVF involve masturbation, followed by medical implantation? Wonder which part god has a problem with? The first, the second, or both?

Because if it's the first, he may have some issues with his teenage nephews.
