And then Jesus showed up and said, and I quote, “…if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.” But in Aramaic, I guess.
Problem with sexy ladies? Not their problem.
Gouging you eye is exactly quitting gym in this context. If going so specific place causes you to stumble, don’t go to that place.
Just remember that these are the kind of people that believe that without the word of God to dictate morality to humanity that literally everyone would be a murdering, raping, cannibalistic monster. They literally cannot understand that people can be good without the fear of eternal damnation looming over them at all times.
before i cave in
Yikes.
Cave into what? Dude saw a woman in yoga pants, and now he has to go on a rape rampage? Wtf?
Gross regardless but to be completely fair “cave in” within a conservative Christian context could literally mean just a side glance to get a good look at them
Could literally mean anything from having lusty thoughts to full-blown rape. This is one of those hope for the best kind of situations, but if he’s gonna tell us - even via ambiguous language - that he’s a threat to the safety of women around him, then it’s best to believe him.
I dunno, they get up to some creepy shit. Have you read their Bible? It’s pretty fucked up.
Oh yes i have, my point is still valid that he might mean something far more innocent than what it sounds like.
The Lord works in [ INFORMATION UNAVAILABLE DUE TO LEGAL SETTLEMENT OF MULTIPLE CHILD SEX ABUSE LAWSUITS ] ways.
He means jizz in his pants.
Aaaaaand that link is gonna stay blue
You’re missing out
Best leave this one blue as well
o7
Never gonna
While I think the whole thing is yikes, I think in this instance he’s referring to caving in to masturbation/porn, not rape… I hope.
I’m really naive and thought he just meant starring.
“Oh, my God, that’s disgusting! Women dressing immodestly? Where? Where were they at? The gym? Which one, there’s so many!”
The “before I cave in” remark is probably just about failing the “avert my eyes” thing and looking at the women in the Mat 5:28, committing adultery in your heart kind of way. From a Catholic perspective OOP’s concerns are completely reasonable as even thinking about sex too hard is supposed to send you to the forever torture zone. I doubt this guy is a hair trigger away from committing SA but the situation is disturbing in a few other ways

The really insidious part of the Christian mythology is that it takes your most basic dive as a species to procreate and tells you it’s a sin. And of course, the only cure for that sin is the church that told you it is a sin.
“Before I cave in”??? Bro just masturbate
Can’t, it would make Jesus cry. This dude either doesn’t masturbate or does it more often than most
That would be caving in to these people.
Bruh im atheist and I’m asking the lord for strength at my gym lmao.
We all go to the gym for strength, friend.
“cave in”
Like are we talking flirting or rape? Or masturbation?
Do we have to call the authorities (Jesus) on his ass?
Clearly before he stares at them and gets a boner that’s difficult to hide.
If thy right eye offend thee, bitch at strangers, for it is their fault for making you want to sin and not your fault for sinning
—Republican Matthew, 5:29-30
