Goyim who think that you can tell whether someone is Sephardi/Ashkenazi/Mizrachi/other based on skin tone shut the fuck up about jewish culture and community dynamics challenge
What the Bible says about homosexuality: (nothing)
What the Qur'an says about homosexuality: (nothing)
The only verses that are twisted to discuss homosexuality are entirely mistranslated and/or misinterpreted by both sets of people who follow them.
Instead, what both scriptures tell us is a story of a Prophet of God, Lut (AS), who told a city to follow the path God has laid out for all of us.
But the city of Sodom not only ignored him, but they decided to present and reinforce their power and status through terror and r-pe, a story that is not at all unbelievable as we watch people go into political power with shocking histories of sexual 'transgressions' alongside a hideous contempt for the very fabric of humanity in many cases.
The moral of the story of Lut (AS) is this:
Extend hospitality, generosity, and protection to others
Don't be greedy, stingy, or thieving
Protect vulnerable people
Do not lust over power
Have mutual respect and love for each other
Condemn fucking r-pe (didn't think we had to write that one down, but here we are)
Don't be a dick.
Follow God

Take a moment and ask yourself a few questions:
- Do you mean just 1 religion?
- Do you know enough about the all worlds religions to make a potentially harmful generalization about all of them?
- Are you making assumptions about other religions based off of your experience with one religion?
- Are you making assumptions about other religions and cultures based on your limited experience with a single person or group of people from said religion or culture?
- Are you taking out your valid frustrating, anger, hurt, and pain with one religious group on people who have nothing to do with it by making a generalization?
If you don’t actually mean the every single one of the vast, diverse, multi-faceted religions in the world, don’t make a blanket statement and list the one(s) you mean specifically. This also goes for using ‘grouping’ labels that do not apply, like Abrahamic, etc.
TRUE someone finally said it! please save us from secular binary gender 🙏
