      So strong, being unashamed to proclaim your belief in the dominant religion in the country. So brave.

      I wonder if they’d be so willing to advertise this if they were, for instance, in the middle east.

        If they were in the middle east they would be Muslim. These people did not choose Christianity from a multiple choice option. They were led down a path. If they lived in a different area they would have been led down a different path and the end result would remain the same, just with a different name.

    It’s like they are saying ‘I know I should feel ashamed for believing in this silliness, but I don’t’.

      I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to molesting kids.

      “Yeah I know what the church did and it doesn’t bother me in the least. If those kids didn’t want to be molested, they shouldn’t have been near priests.”

    I was tuna shamed in school because that’s the only sandwich my mother ever put in my lunchbox.

    A subset of the kerning problem. Space layout is important.

    I don’t know why they’d be ashamed of a lower case t though…

    What that really means is “I should be ashamed to believe this ridiculous book of fairy tales, but I’m weak minded.”

      Is there the same insecurity shown with lgbt/trans with various flags and symbols? I’m not trying to be inflammatory or make statements about the morality of either but I see similarities in symbology. One half of culture sees it as normal, the other half sees it as not for them so they both express their beliefs in many visual ways. Both have been persecuted or at least treated differently at points in history with generally wider acceptance over time. Just interesting to see it though they are very different once you get past that surface level.

        LGBT community generally gets shamed for existing, Christians generally get shamed because they shame others for existing.

        Christians have a persecution complex despite being one of the biggest religions in the world and being largely unpersecuted, LGBT groups are actively persecuted throughout the world.

        LGBT groups have no choice in being the way they are, Christians do.

        LGBT groups show pride to fight actual persecution, Christians use pride to battle make-believe persecution.

        There really is a huge difference.
