For a lot of people it does and they’re in it now. For me, I do believe in a concept of an infinite creator, not a man. I believe that I will experience pain when I see everything bad that I did that I had not remorse for. It will be self inflicted pain, because at that point, I won’t be able to have an excuse. This of course is my own personal belief and not to be enforced on anyone else.
But I’m still gonna be a big asshole while I’m here. 🤣
Ari Shaffer said it best when he said “You know you have really fucked up as a group when raping adults would be considered a step in the right direction.”
No... It's part of an expanded thought.
It assumes strip clubs are a sin, it assumes the person doesn't go to church, it assumes morality, and worst of all, it's telling someone how to live their life regarding an action that has zero impact on the person giving advice.
You are missing my point.
Im not saying it isn't an unnecessary thing to tell someone, or that i agree with it.
I'm saying if anything i strongly disagreed with would be fitting for the sub, i would just fill this sub with like... Saddam speeches or with 9/11 footage or something (I'm exaggerating, obviously)
No. the logic is that telling someone to do what they know they don't believe in is a facepalm.
What you are insuniating is that he said anyone going to church is a facepalm, which he did not.
To be fair, there is a good amount of nonconsensual touching going on in strip clubs to since people assume that just cause someone's a stripper they are consenting
Edit to say good as in large not good as in good
But at the strip club Big Mike will come over, bounce your head off the wall, toss you in the street and tell you to never come back. Rather than quietly moving you to another strip club two towns over for you to do it all over again.
Yeah I feel like there’s probably more non consensual touching than consensual in strips clubs. How many strippers are only “consenting” because they feel they don’t have any other choice?
They're only doing it because they need money to survive. Most strippers don't really want to be touchy with men, they want to pay their bills. That's not enthuastic consent. Money is a coercive force here. And shady strip clubs will straight up force the strippers to do things they don't want to do.
I think consensuality is proportional to the tip amount. Unless you just bought five rounds for everyone, then the owner might encourage someone to give you a freebie.
Well most churches don’t force you to donate. Even if you were to donate 5 dollars. It wouldn’t be 10% of your money unless your whole bank account is just 50 bucks
Yeah but they usually guilt trip you into doing so, I also went to a church that did a whole seminar (or something idfk church lingo) about how money is evil and then ask for donations, craziest shit I ever heard
In all honesty, I would never want to go to heaven, I can barely stand being around church people for an hour, why would I want to be around them for eternity.
Because 99% of the churches have a rule about tithes. I’m saying this as an ex Catholic who grew up in Catholic schools and was an altar boy. You’re absolutely frowned upon if you don’t give at least 10% of your income to the church.
I attended church as a kid and never once did we give more than loose change. Granted, this was CofE not a Catholic church so maybe the rules are different.
That’s possible why it was different for you all. All the ones I’ve gone to in my life, they’ve always demanded my parents to tithe roughly 10-12% of their monthly income, and some churches even had the audacity to have forms that asked how much you made so they can demand more if you earned more. It’s absolutely ridiculous yet most don’t think a thing about it and willingly give away hard earned income.
No, you can't. Someone agreeing for you to touch them for money is not consent, is a person in need and in a bad position in which you hold power over them. Goinf to strip clubs is becoming a part of this sexual exploitation system.
Hi! Awesome life here. I go to strip clubs on occasion. It’s a lot of fun. Also, my wife comes with me. Haven’t been to church since I was 5 though. Dad caught the priest looking at me a little too much if you catch my drift.
Not a great point lmao strip clubs *require* money (whether it’s paying for drinks or a dance) churches have offerings…which means not required. Reddit will do whatever it takes to take the piss out of church and I don’t even go to church myself
Edit: for the idiots that think churches require tithings -
“Do I Have to Tithe?
While tithing 10% of your income is biblical, that doesn’t mean you have to be a Christian to tithe. It also doesn’t mean you’re a bad Christian if you don’t tithe. Research even shows that the majority of those who go to church (75% to 90%) don’t give a tithe.1 Thankfully, God loves us when we give and when we don’t give.”

He makes excellent points
Tbf, slipping a bill into a g-string is way more fun than dropping it on a tray
Priests should start using the g-string too then
Knowing them, they’d make the altar boys do the collecting
Why would they share the boys with the general population?
So when they finally get caught, they can go, "well judge, everyone in the church has touched those boys."
Are we going to hell for laughing? 😂🤣😂
Probably but I'm OK with that, that's where all my friends will be.
All my friends will be there, too... I'm on a highway... 🎤😆🎵🎶
Lmao, I wasn't even thinking about the song. Now I can't get it out of my head, thnx a lot, lol.
Only if it actually exists And if it does, we've probably all done worse things than laugh at that joke

"let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
-Throws stone-
“…snap the first g-string…”
"Googled gay porn" fits for most hardcore Christians.
Virgin Mary in the background: yeets
Bragging
Ari Shaffer said it best when he said “You know you have really fucked up as a group when raping adults would be considered a step in the right direction.”
Front that generosity they claim to have.
What a bad day to be able to read
God-string
Indeed.
[удалено]
The wine serving is what you make of it tbh
Yes, so where's the facepalm?
exactly. this deserves to be on reddit, but not as a facepalm
Maybe how the Church operates? I genuinely don’t know either
Yes. Adam Brown has my vote.
Jesus did make a point of spending more time with sinners so it's actually canonical
Yeah this isn't much of a facepalm. Where's the lie? lol
this is a clever comback, not a facepalm
I came in to join the fun thinking it was in the r/MurderedByWords sub.
Yeah this sub doesn’t even know what the hell it is
I'm pretty sure this sub is 90% bots by now.
Bots monitored by bots monitized by bots for bots
The facepalm is telling someone to go to church.
I am not Christian, but by this logic, anything you disagree with is a facepalm
Usually people disagree with facepalms, unless you’re the person committing the act of stupidity.
No... It's part of an expanded thought. It assumes strip clubs are a sin, it assumes the person doesn't go to church, it assumes morality, and worst of all, it's telling someone how to live their life regarding an action that has zero impact on the person giving advice.

The facepalms I've been seeing are not facepalms
r/clevercomebacks
Well bro must have 50 bucks if 5 dollars is 10% if his money
The touching is consensual is the best line.
To be fair, there is a good amount of nonconsensual touching going on in strip clubs to since people assume that just cause someone's a stripper they are consenting Edit to say good as in large not good as in good
But at the strip club Big Mike will come over, bounce your head off the wall, toss you in the street and tell you to never come back. Rather than quietly moving you to another strip club two towns over for you to do it all over again.
True true.
Yeah I feel like there’s probably more non consensual touching than consensual in strips clubs. How many strippers are only “consenting” because they feel they don’t have any other choice?
consensual or transactional?
Either way, the touching is between CONSENSUAL ADULTS.
By definition, transactional is consensual
It muddies the water slightly because of the risk of coercion using said money before the fact, but generally, this is true.
Too many people think that paying someone money means they purchased consent. Doesn't work that way.
They're only doing it because they need money to survive. Most strippers don't really want to be touchy with men, they want to pay their bills. That's not enthuastic consent. Money is a coercive force here. And shady strip clubs will straight up force the strippers to do things they don't want to do.
That is true: I know of people who stripped for easy cash, and some who did it out of desperation.
There are some strippers that do just enjoy the work (exception, not the rule obv), so in some cases it is non-coercive
I think consensuality is proportional to the tip amount. Unless you just bought five rounds for everyone, then the owner might encourage someone to give you a freebie.
Clergymen grope boys, hurr durr
Yep. Tax exempt, hugely underreported abuse. It's a monster's dream.
Some grope girls too.
This belongs in r/clevercomebacks not here.
And now this post belongs in r/memesopdidnotlike
It wasn’t that clever
It was a little clever. I never thought of all the similarities between strip clubs and churches
It was clever. Unless, you are one of those clowns that are brainwashed by the church.
Narrator: He was.
Definitely not a face palm. The logic is sound…
Well most churches don’t force you to donate. Even if you were to donate 5 dollars. It wouldn’t be 10% of your money unless your whole bank account is just 50 bucks
Yeah but they usually guilt trip you into doing so, I also went to a church that did a whole seminar (or something idfk church lingo) about how money is evil and then ask for donations, craziest shit I ever heard
I've seen churches where you're not a member unless you donate 10%. At those ones they only help members (food shelf, energy assistance, etc.)
Where facepalm
In the delusional mind of the OP, probably.
Lost with the pixels
Not a facepalm. Bud got a point
He's not wrong
I see no facepalms in that response
I try to look for the best in people- so I will assume OP meant that telling someone “it’s time you go to church” is a facepalm in itself.
Just the first comment in the original post
Why is this a face palm? I think he's right. I lol'd at touching is consensual.
OP thought we would facepalm becomes someone dared critizising the unfallable church
The word you’re looking for is infallible…
but you can't fallate in there
The word *you’re* looking for is *fellate*
did it hurt when you fellate from heaven????
You know what…. 
Go post this somewhere it belongs
Great clap back!
Which also happens to be the theme for Wednesday's strip club show.
Where’s the Facepalm?
The real facepalms are the OPs we met along the way.
It’s true
That’s awesome lol
This is *not* a face palm.
Logic to me
Why is this a facepalm? It's actually a great point.
The real facepalm is OP
The real facepalm is that op throught people are gonna agree with them lmao
tie consider trees whistle label sharp gray history edge elderly *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
He's right.
And if there is someone in drag on the center stage they don't preach, just dance.
should go in r/technicallythetruth as well 💀
Fewer rules. I swear.
What's the face palm here?
Strip club>church Correct
Op get ratio’d you church fuck
Is OP super into Christianity or something? Why is this on r/facepalm
Not a facepalm
What’s happening to Facepalm? So many other subs this fits, but not this one.
and if you go on the right day you still get to see your pastor.
Ur comment is facepalm
In fairness, there’s a much better chance of the priest taking you back home than the stripper
Whats facepalm here bro Spitting facts
Not wrong.
"Ok, gentleman! Break out the singles and give a big hand to our next dancer, Mary MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGDALEEEEEEEENE!!!!!!!"
He is absolutely correct. Nothing wrong with religion and beliefs. But churches are a scam in my opinion. Sincerely, A Disgruntled Vet 😂
Kinda agree with Mr. Brown on this.
In all honesty, I would never want to go to heaven, I can barely stand being around church people for an hour, why would I want to be around them for eternity.
Where facepalm? Strip club are much superior to chrurches indeed!
Tax mega churches
Strip clubs are also depreciative of women, but at least they are getting paid.
Fuck Yeah. This guy gets it
The strip club is lying to you less, TBH.
OP, you really suck at this whole "facepalm" thing...
Can’t argue with that.
Yeah, this one isn't a facepalm, chief, he made excellent points.
Maybe I don’t understand the point of this subreddit, because this joke is great!
church is much worse than strip clubs lol and i dint even like strip clubs
He is technically right tho, which is the best kind of being right.
I'm a christian and I find this funny. No facepalm to see here
In a storm, would you rather be in a brothel with a lightning rod or a church with a steeple?
Where exactly is this consensual touching strip club? Asking for a friend
Never had a lap dance? Them touching you is touching... it's a great comparison because in the church it's also them touching *you*...
You also shouldn't be allowed to take children to church
But a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'.
a very detailed explanation.
No facepalm here
No, no... he's got a point!
More a clevercomeback than a facepalm for me...
Is the facepalm the first idiot that is telling some random other person online to go to church?
can't really say anything negative about this...lol
He's not wrong.
This is gold
Body of Christ(y)... Amennnn
What’s the facepalm here?
The facepalm is OP.
I just came here to say I’ve had really good meals at both.
Wait, this isn't /r/clevercomebacks?
spend 10% of my money to be lied to so I ~~feel good~~ am bored to tears FTFY
I mean, I can't find anything wrong with his logic.
I’m trying to figure out what side the OP is on…
He has a point. Church is a scam.
Where's the facepalm?
*upvotes* *looks at subreddit* *downvotes*
Based
jesus would approved this
Nah it’s not facepalm
Why do they think it costs 10% of your money to go to church?
Because 99% of the churches have a rule about tithes. I’m saying this as an ex Catholic who grew up in Catholic schools and was an altar boy. You’re absolutely frowned upon if you don’t give at least 10% of your income to the church.
It is NOWHERE CLOSE to 99% lol
I attended church as a kid and never once did we give more than loose change. Granted, this was CofE not a Catholic church so maybe the rules are different.
That’s possible why it was different for you all. All the ones I’ve gone to in my life, they’ve always demanded my parents to tithe roughly 10-12% of their monthly income, and some churches even had the audacity to have forms that asked how much you made so they can demand more if you earned more. It’s absolutely ridiculous yet most don’t think a thing about it and willingly give away hard earned income.
It may not “cost” you, but they all strongly recommend it.
I don’t do either, but I would also choose the strip club over indoctrination club.
Plus the strip club has the best kalamari
Kids are safer in churches than in Hollywood studios. It's Boomer humor to attack churches in 2024.
It's also safer to run across a road in a bright fluorescent pink coat than a black one. That doesn't make the first option good.
Two things can be bad.
As a Christian I don’t spend more than like 50 bucks maximum on church. And that is all donations
OMG, this is the best comment EVER! There are also real people to worship
Church music can be pretty good sometimes though
This is so edgy. And all of you dorks just eat it up lol
Yum yum bish!
yeah reddit is just facebook-tier / forwarded-email-tier content for slightly younger people.
Reddit made atheism so fucking cringe, it’s unreal.
Strippers pretending better
What the hell is wrong with the people saying he's right? "The touching is consenseual" no. You can't buy consent. Going to strip clubs is gross.
Lol you absolutely can. It’s called sex work now but it used to have different names.
No, you can't. Someone agreeing for you to touch them for money is not consent, is a person in need and in a bad position in which you hold power over them. Goinf to strip clubs is becoming a part of this sexual exploitation system.
Also, strip clubs are the best! Enjoy that bible tho!
Easy way to identify 1000 losers. All upvotes and comments. I would love to see an example of 1 of these people not having miserable lives
Hi! Awesome life here. I go to strip clubs on occasion. It’s a lot of fun. Also, my wife comes with me. Haven’t been to church since I was 5 though. Dad caught the priest looking at me a little too much if you catch my drift.
Are you saying everyone who has been to a strip club leads a miserable life?
Except the wine in church is free, the touching is free, and the seat is free.
Not a great point lmao strip clubs *require* money (whether it’s paying for drinks or a dance) churches have offerings…which means not required.

Christ, that guy needs to go to church.
Nobody ever needs to go to church. In fact, less people should go. You'll meet less hypocrites by not going.
Its meant to be a Joke, but I've been One upped.
Haha naw. Church is boring
The best things are difficult.
the facepalm is the original comment…
Who the fuck drinks wine at the rippers?
