Mine is “It hertz when IP”
Not 8Hz WAN IP?
Well, not a few minutes ago.
Anyone else thinking of VeggieTales after this?
Oh where, is my hairbrush?
Sounds sticky!
Another good one would have been “The Promised LAN”.
Takes 40 years for the captive portal to load
Mine used to be “Router, i hardly knew her!” Now its “Router 66” and “Router65g”
Mine is “Retrying in 2s…” I used to have a separate 5GHz one named “Retrying in 5s…” too.
I used to have mine as Win32.Trojan.Backdoor.Mobi
My Roku’s named “the lamestream media”
My Church
🤣🤣
I love when religions try to be relatable to the commoners after all the atrocities committed by them or in their names.
But, SatansMaggotyCumFart, I figured you to be a fierce advocate of organized religion especially of the WASP variety.
It’s really really progressive church who are not like those shitty conservative churches. I don’t think anything of those churches either.
For me it’s not about the shittiness of the Church. If you are from a progressing and welcoming church then that’s great and you’re probably giving some people a community who might not have had one otherwise.
I get more caught up in the fact that an adult would actually believe this crap. Even young kids know magic isn’t real but actual adult humans believe in it with all their hearts.
Participating in any Christianity props up and validates the bad ones.
That said, if you really are the “good ones” then I wish you luck in fixing the rest of Jesus’ stray flock. And I hope you personally get the chance to fix some of them.
You don’t “fix” other people. You fix yourself. That’s all you have any control over.
You don’t control other people, but you constantly influence them.
Isn’t the whole point of a pastor to encourage other people to be their best selves? Isn’t that fixing them?
Encourage, sure. Control, no. As was implied.
This right here. There are no good participants in religion. Everyone participating, no matter their intent or actions, is s part of the problem. Because they enable the bad behavior by supporting the underlying common beliefs and adding some degree of legitimacy to this.
It’s the same problem with ACAB
Let me guess, it has a trampoline room and the youth pastor has a man bun and a couple bitchin’ jesus tattoos?
Probably they’re more like Quakers, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, United Church of Christ, or United Methodists. You know, the denominations with openly gay clergy who see their role as advancing the cause of social justice and helping the poor and disenfranchised in their communities.
Giving people shit for a label is bigoted as fuck. Also, thanks for making a dad joke thread about your unresolved religious trauma.
I’m not religious these days, but I’m really glad the church I raised in was a UCC church. My first experience with blatant church bigotry was when I went to a Baptist church service with a friend when I was around 10. Pastor used 3 slurs within 10 minutes, even as a 10 year old I was wondering what the fuck happened to love thy neighbor.
United Methodist is a tricky example to use. I know because I was one of their clergy at one point.
Officially they still ban gay clergy, even after the recent schism where the most-bigoted group left and formed the “Global Methodist Church.”
American United Methodists (especially the clergy) tend to be fairly progressive, but the African and Asian branches of the church are massive and extremely conservative. They’ve managed to keep the church from being able to change its official stance on homosexuality, which is that it’s “incompatible with Christian teaching.”
You’re a Christian in America claiming you’re the victim of bigotry…?
You’re holding this person responsible for an evil because they share a demographic with the perpetrators, even though they have nothing to do with it? Yeah that sounds like bigotry to me.
“Share a demographic”? This isn’t race or sex or something. This is a club they choose to join every single day. It’s an ideology, not their skin color.
Correct me if I’m misapplying your logic then, but it sounds like this means…
- It’s okay to hold Muslims responsible for Al Qaeda because they can just choose not to follow Islam.
- It’s okay to think of all Romani as criminals because they can just choose to leave their culture.
- It’s okay to be misandristic because they can just choose to transition.

United Methodists are no longer cool. They voted against gay marriage. And yes, to be fair, a good number of local congregations were pissed
That seems to be more of a kick-the-can vote to allow the more conservative churches time to leave.
More than 6,000 United Methodist congregations — a fifth of the U.S. total — have now received permission to leave the denomination amid a schism over theology and the role of LGBTQ people in the nation’s second-largest Protestant denomination
With these departures, progressives are expected to propose changing church law at the next General Conference in 2024 to allow for same-sex marriage and the ordination of LGBTQ people.
That seems to be more of a kick-the-can vote to allow the more conservative churches time to leave.
“We only voted against human rights so the people who are against those human rights can leave with all their money and property intact, we promise!”
Man, you’re making these “progressive” churches sound wonderful!
Compromises are useful when you want something. When your side is about to win you don’t blow up the organization unless you have a mental problem.
Also, from what I can tell the gay bishops voted for the compromise. If they thought it was the right way to handle it, I am not going to shame them for it.
We will see if they make good on it next year.
Not that I give a fuck whether the UMC survives, but you are correct. The bigots are leaving the denomination and many/most that left joined the Global Methodist Church.
The only reason that the UMC wasn’t gay as fuck years ago is because the denomination is global and the African churches are bigoted against LGBTQ+. Their votes plus a fifth of USA congregations was enough to guarantee a schism. They’re just being strategic about the breakup because of how property is owned in the denomination.
Giving people shit for a label is bigoted as fuck.
Only if you have no choice about it. I have zero qualms criticizing people for their choices.
From Merriam-Webster:
Bigot
: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices
especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intoleranceSynonyms include dogmatist, partisan, and sectarian.
Here’s an article that may help you to understand why you are a bigot a bit better: https://www.existbetter.co/single-post/2019/04/15/Bigotry-is-a-SymptomHow-to-Handle-a-Bigot
Hopefully we can eliminate hate of all kinds from this world.
Racial or ethnic groups are made up of people who did not have a choice about their race or ethnicity. While indoctrination from childhood can certainly cause a person’s religious views, and work alongside community pressure to keep them pinned in place, ultimately an individual is responsible for their own thoughts. Criticizing someone for what they think is not bigotry.
Your article link goes to a domain that does not exist.
Maybe it’s blocked in your country. I had no trouble accessing the article.
EDIT: Looks like the website got deleted after I linked it. Weird.
Precisely we’re like that. It’s honestly very excellent.
What label am I giving out here?
I think you misread. Cylus was saying it’s bigoted to attack someone because of a label.
Who was I attacking?
Ah, the rhetorical equivalent of “I’m not touching you!”
I love when religions try to be relatable to the commoners after all the atrocities committed by them or in their names.
I don’t know what exactly you meant by this but it sounds a lot like a “Friendly reminder that Christians are evil.”
You’re definitely attacking OP, who’s just here to post a funny wifi name.
I’m so sorry about what ever happened to you. Hopefully your life will turn around.
And in some circles tattoos are a no-no, a la leviticus 19:28
Is that one of the passages that is listened to or ignored?
I get confused which ones are important sometimes.
To keep it straight, remember when Jesus declared all foods clean. He didn’t say “all foods are clean,” he gave a policy basically stating that external things aren’t where sin lies, but internal, which meant that foods are clean. The same can be said of clothing policies, the health code, etc… Sin lives in the heart, and unless you think it’s wrong, marks on your skin generally aren’t going to taint your heart.
What are his views on heroin?
It’s clean as long as it’s outside you?
He never addressed heroin in particular, but the Bible does say not to get drunk, and I’d imagine the same applies to getting high on other drugs.
Note: drinking alcohol is not a sin, but getting drunk is, probably because it’s putting yourself in a state where you’re way more likely to sin and have an “excuse” about it.
That’s just it, 99% of them are ignored 😂
Ah yes, and you think you’re better than everyone
I don’t think I’m better than anyone but I’ve never killed anyone or protected child rapists.
Probably the same for most religious people too
Every Christian implicitly gives support to child molestation.
With that logic, who know what atrocity you’re “implicitly supporting”?
That almost as bad as Top Gear logic!
So by purchasing clothes you are supporting slavery?
Is this a joke about child abuse or controlling women? Sorry, I don’t get it
A “land of milk and honey” is a place of opportunity where one hopes to find a better life. I first heard the term in the song Nancy from Now On by Father John Misty. After looking it up because of this post, at some point in the Bible Israel is described as a land flowing with milk and honey multiple times.
LAN is short for local area network and only one letter away from land, so a church naming their wifi “Lan of Milk and Honey” crosses the similar sounding technical term related to the wifi with a biblical term related to the church, thereby achieving a pun. I hope that helps you get it!
