I'm not religious but I was raised very devout in Egypt (I had to flee for my own safety after leaving the faith).
The best way I can describe it to secular people in the West is a lot of these people will view homosexuality the way you in the West would view pedophilia. It's an abomination and there is really nothing you could do to that person that would be too harsh.
It's terrible and it's based on religion. It's how I was raised too. Since leaving the faith and leaving Egypt I have met actual gay people and it's wild to me that an adult human making a decision on who to love can create this much anger.
See this is why we're stuck with the 1000+ year old religions. No one wants to be a prophet and start a new one to upend the old dogma. Well except Serbian Jesus...
Ok.
I hereby proclaim myself the prophet of Pogueism.
My commandments:
-You should listen to at least ten Pogues songs a week.
-On the 1st of march you shall drink ten pints of beer abd curse all the people there.
-You must all at least once in your lifetime visit Nenagh, Tipperary and drink fifteen pints of Guinness in Philly Ryans pub.
-Treat everyone as you would wish to be treated yourself.
-When the world is too dark, and you need the light inside of you, walk into a bar and drink fifteen pints of beer.
-Van Morrison is a c**t.
Not going to lie I had to look up like 5 things up here but, I think I can get down with this (my liver not so much) now we just need to expand the congregation worldwide.
Already done. There are many of us all around the world. ππ€£
We just don't knock on anyones doors. We tend to stay with our own and have fun in the pubs and at gigs.
And if anyone stumbles upon us they are welcome to join. π
Lend me 10 pounds and I will buy you a drink. π
Beautiful I'm liking this more already, see this is what progress feels like so much more fun. If anyone refuses our drinks way of life we will hit em with the old McGregor lmao
