EHX and JHS both have Crayon overdrives now

[D.o.S.]

Is "'kill the gays' republican hate church" behind a swear filter or something cos I'm pretty sure nobody can see my posts

[D.o.S.]

Honestly I feel as though everyone who has said bad things about JHS has pretty pointedly explained why they don't like JHS in the specific so I don't understand where this pearl-clutching persecuted Christian bullshit is coming from.

This thread has had several peaks, but UG dominated with his gif storm.

Also please explain to me why calling religious organisations out on being bigots is bigotry?

Because it is an easy meme. Acknowledging that JHS is the pedal world face of a terrifying cult with real world implications is messy and serious. Truth is, if you paint criticism of JHS as boring old anti-Christian bias, it is easy to swallow. Facing the fact that JHS gives its money and time to a group who call themselves Christian but who have beliefs at odds with mainstream theology is not easy. When you open the door that some people use faith to cover their ethical shortcomings, the world is a scarier, more complicated place.

I agree with chucky.
More to the point, people that start these organisations have a clear agenda, and attract like-minded people.
Trying to attach a criticism-exempt status to your beliefs because their "part of your religion" is the biggest crock of shit going.
It's not fair to those Christians who don't suck (read "don't share the same dire set of ethics").
It's akin to saying, "in the end, all Muslims should be carpet bombed because they all want to declare jihad on the world."
No they don't. It's just a few psychotic assholes who got together and decided they'd use religion as a lever to unify people who think that way and terrify others in some attempt to force an idiotic opinion on an indifferent world.

I opened a can of shit worms there.
But I stand by it.
Me and my shit worms are done here.

I dunno but those Crayola logos facing different directions is driving me nuts.

You're right.
No consistency, would not conduct drawing session with.

Glad I can still buy all my pedals from China, the land of human rights and tolerance, so I don't have to give any money to those evil Christians.

Amen

To say "because China and therefore" is not an argument. Pointing out supposed hypocrisy (assuming that companies such as Joyo violate labour rights), doesn't make JHS pedals any better. Just saying.

This is such a superb summarization!
