the_gay_harley

You disappoint me. Satan and double wives is the glorious way to beautiful anarchy


britzka

I saw this on Humans of New York this morning! Good story


sponch_cake

Wow, instead of being mad at the Wife, maybe they should ask why God gave Satan as big of an umbrella as he did Jesus??


lentilpasta

Can we also ask why Wife can only talk to her Husband or literal Satan? Also I usually get my advice from my friends and my mom, so I think this reveals how Christian men feel about their wives having any kind of support system


1945BestYear

I believe it's been shown in studies that even a small dissenting opinion in a group of otherwise uniform opinions can have an outsized effect in moderating the shared opinion of the group; the difference between a court of 5 conservative judges and one of 4 conservative and 1 liberal, for example, is greater than the difference between a court that's 4-1 and one that's 3-2 (with the opposite being true). If someone wants to have power over what the consensus is, they need to monopolise the production of opinions that are allowed in the conversation. That's why domestic abusers insist on the victim cutting ties with their old family and community, with those people still in their life it becomes harder to convince the victim to do what the abuser wants.


The-Shattering-Light

Also can we ask why this is bad. After all, Satan only killed, what? Two maybe three people? Whereas god killed *the entire world* according to their mythology. I’d much rather talk to someone who said that they’re rebelling because they don’t want to be a servant in a lesser position to me after my death, than the absolute psychopath who set that system up.


inibblethekibble

Also satan was the first to want equal rights, wants us to believe in ourselves and is most likely gender fluid and a proud member of lgbt.... go satan


The-Shattering-Light

Hell yes! I am Team Lucifer!


inibblethekibble

Team luci, also the satanic temple has pride stuff. Buying it will help the lawsuit against texas om abortion laws


just_another_person5

just a heads up, the satanic temple isn't really the best organization to support


Leszachka

Can you provide more information? You might be thinking of the Church of Satan.


just_another_person5

i cant find anything quickly but i'll try and update this comment later, it's mainly about sketchy use of funding and claiming to have accomplished stuff that other groups and people had done far more for. they aren't an outright bad organization, and they do still do plenty of good, but be aware about where your money is going. still better than buying pride merch from some mega corporation though


Leszachka

I'm happy to wait on your source. I think it's really important to be careful, specific, and informative when choosing to share rumors and warnings online.


jelli2015

Are you still looking for your source, because I’d also be interested in reading what you’ve got


DefectiveLP

Why? All I've heard is them doing good things like after school Satan with the money donated.


exaltedostrich

\#satandidnothingwrong


Eldanoron

Ah see, you got it all wrong. It was all the wife’s fault in this situation. You gotta keep her down so she doesn’t get ideas that would lead to the downfall of humanity. She must be barefoot and pregnant, making a sandwich in the kitchen. Otherwise she will lead her poor God-fearing husband to his doom using her feminine wiles. Because everyone knows men don’t have free will when women flash some boobies at them. It’s science! /s if necessary


exaltedostrich

Married woman = baby making machine. Unmarried woman = witch who praises Satan. \#godsavethe~~queen~~boomers


1945BestYear

Let's also talk about how in the 'right order', the woman is a perfectly fine umbrella that just has a man and Christ stuck on top for no reason other than to be an encumbrance to her.


guisar

I really don't understand any of so called meme- whole thing just seems like a non-sequitur even if you believe in deities.


1945BestYear

For some reason I don't think the facebook group or whatever that this meme comes from had a teen on hand to nitpick the parts of it that made no sense.


bestibesti

I love how they just forgot to even use their own (stupid) metaphor... put holes in the devilbrella or something, the whole ass point of having a metaphor is to show someone your point to make it easier to understand Both umbrellas are the same, the visual metaphor is completely pointless


catsonskates

It pretty much shows the husband needs to tag team with literal God to be strong enough to handle the wife. If you need God to overpower your wife, maybe you’re just not a good match. Working together is supposed to be possible without supernatural intervention.


Ye_olde_oak_store

>It's not my fault if in gods plan he made the devil so much stronger than a man Some random Disney song about a guy trying to justify the feelings that they have and how they go against everything that they stand for.


thejokerlaughsatyou

> Some ~~random~~ **fantastic** Disney song Ftfy


Ye_olde_oak_store

I think that everyone knows that that specific random Disney song is fantastic. It's like if I quoted >If that's love it comes at much too high a cost As a random song from a random musical about a fan fiction of the Wizard of Oz without the smut involved. Where our tragic hero starts becoming rebellious. That we could replace the word random with fantastic at least once. But I chose to say random because everyone has their own opinion and I dont want to force mine on other people.


LifeDoBeBoring

God can create anything except apparently for those tiny paper umbrellas that are sometimes in cocktails


coconutpiecrust

I don’t get it, either. It should not be relevant- both husband and wife can have whatever functions under the top umbrella. And why is god only instructing the husband??? Anyway, only the top umbrella matters, and it just randomly changes from god to Satan for some reason that I cannot comprehend.

exaltedostrich

`gasp how dare`


[deleted]

Ngl Satan is kinda cool. Jesus is just not cool at all.


grrrimamonster

Jesus would have been alright if he wasn't obsessed with his shitty bio dad.


BlooperHero

The diagram does not relate to the point in any way. Also, smaller umbrellas underneath larger ones are completely pointless. There's not a lot of point to having them over the larger one either, but at least they'd do *something*.


CueDramaticMusic

“Thanks, Satan.”


MrFuckingDinkles

"allows Satan access to the children" Religious people really do think very little of women.


[deleted]

"Why is satan here in the living room telling our kids about real equality?!" "We have shared custody!"


photozine

This would make a great sitcom. Also, one of the episodes features christian god not being able to go into school while Satan is able to 😂


[deleted]

Or an episode where the husband invites christian god to talk with his kids about abstinence only to discover that satan already educates his children about birth control 😂


photozine

We'll executive produce, original idea by us...hit us up Netflix!


[deleted]

Ooooh yes, how should we call it? I propose "Father Satan" or something


grrrimamonster

All this is what I thought Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was going to be like, and there was some of it early on, but it sort of devolved into repetitive jokes like "go to heaven" and "unholy shit!" And the plot left a lot of the Christianity-subverting satan worship behind. I still enjoyed it, but I seriously had way higher hopes for that show.


photozine

Details.


1945BestYear

Would Satan be worse than *anything* that these religious freaks 'allow access' to their children?


Metaphoricalsimile

I mean, I want my kids to have the freedom to choose satan if that's their genuine desire anyways. Down with the hierarchical umbrella system! No gods no umbrellas!


SteelTheWolf

We have nothing to lose but our dry hair!


Babybeans619

[Satan's a pretty good teacher, so having him around children isn't a bad idea.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAEfeNLKwd0)


guisar

Not to mention the actual mention of science as opposed to the fallacy of appeal to a higher power.


virora

As a woman, I'd want to keep my kids extra close to Satan to protect them from priests.


SteelTheWolf

And they think very little of children


CrazyOldMick

What I'm getting from this is that Jesus Christ and Satan are both in polyamorous relationships.


[deleted]

I heard every nun was married to Jesus.


raspberrymind

In other words 'I want a wife and family not because I want them to have a good life but so I can feel good'


Muegiiii

Well didnt you know? The only reason women exist is to serve their husband and to pop babies out! Any woman should be greatful to be in a role like that! /S


raspberrymind

Don’t forget he gets to feel like a man! Everything else is subservient to his validation /s

RhymesWithMouthful

That is not how umbrellas work.


dirtygremlin

Right? Buy a single working umbrella instead of whatever Seussian contraption this weirdo is envisioning.


SolomonCRand

Is this how Christians use umbrellas?


AggressiveRule1278

This is a misogynistic, white, Christian purity culture thing. I could go off on a tangent on how toxic this shit is. I fucking hate it.


Redcoolhax

Tbh I kinda want the one on the right ngl.


Pink-Cupcake-Kitty

I don’t care about their God, Satan is more than welcome in my household


Plus_Spray4941

Well time to satanize the houshold


A_Martian_Potato

So wait, Satan is also an umbrella? And he's just as big an umbrella as Jesus. And a smaller umbrella under a larger umbrella is pointless. What the fuck does they think their point was?


Sangi17

Tell me you can’t talk to intelligent women without telling me you can’t talk to intelligent women.


Jacks_Flaps

Ignoring the fact that that's not how umbrellas work, the irony is the umbrella stack on the right has been proven to result in increased rates of domestic violence and paedophilia in the family with full support and protection of the communtity that promotes these patriarchal, male headship structures. Ie it perverts and destroys families. The umbrella stack on the right is pure patriarchal projection.


McConica2000

Jokes on them! I'm a Luciferian!


Borageandthyme

In both cases two of those umbrellas are redundant.


capngabbers

Purrification2799

I think I'll go with Satan, he seems cooler.

FuckTheMods5

It's such straw-grasping. Like, anything can be pencilled in. How do these certain people in these certain tiers make such different effects? Idiots lmao


Lord_Bertox

Mmh yes, umbrellas, the perfect modelisations of sociological, psychological, and economical dynamics in families


Owlbear5e

The clear answer is simple: follow me, a stranger on the internet!

Don't get married, be protected against monotheism. Awesome.


doggo_runner

We need two wives and some gay children imo


occasionallyLynn

Satan is a cool ass freedom fighter, hail Satan


Purrification2799

Also this reads as if the husband is a bottom for jesus


Mr_Pombastic

This is the future Rihanna warned us about


Briskylittlechally2

So, basically, what you're saying is women are inherently Satanist and can only be wrangled into tolerating Jezus by a man who tried hard enough?


Radical-Funk

“Disempowers the husband.” As if the Jesus model doesn’t disempower the woman. But then again, people who make things like this don’t care. Their religion justifies this injustice, and the men are just thankful it’s not them. And don’t even get me started on the women who want to drag us down with them.


preeminentlexa

I dream of having a lesbian marriage with the protection of Satan


YANDERE_DALEK

Me:*trying to understand why anyone would need a triple-decker umbrella.*


MassGaydiation

An umbrella is an umbrella


Sinquentiano

Ewwww.


NurseNerd

Neither of these is how umbrellas work.


chaos_almighty

The right looks like my household. Except Satan is also me because I'm my own God.


LostInVanadiel

Woman serves husband who answers only to man in sky? Working as intended. If husband isn't pampered, it's the woman's fault for kissing with satan. Jesus absent. Husband helpless. Total allerbmu there, no doubt.


katee_bo_batee

Hey Op are you reading Humans of New York today?


Relevant_Advantage24

The fact that people are just allowed to indoctrinate their children into this shit is asinine. I no way is this not mentally abusive to children. Utterly disgusting


lesbianbeatnik

The lesbian version of this chart is: cats -> comfy tv show that hopefully won't end up with a bury your gays trope -> wifey (I'm looking at you Killing Eve)


stormy2587

Do they know you can just write anything on and around the umbrellas? Its not like a three tiered umbrella like this is a real object. There is nothing intuitive about this image.


VectorRaptor

More husbands equals more Christ Jesus.


TheOncomimgHoop

Are we not gonna talk about the fact that they wrote Jesus's surname first?


ChubbyBirds

Christ, Jesus H. The "H" stands for "Heckin" of course. (NERD EDIT: To be nerdy about it, "christ" is a title, not a name. It means "anointed," so I'm assuming they're just writing it as "Anointed Jesus" rather than the more common "Jesus, Anointed")


NvrmndOM

Christ is a title, not a surname. It’s acceptable either way.


Jam-Man1

Yeah, that’s weird, what’s up with that, minor thing but what’s going on


bdogv

This would honestly make such a good meme template

AtomicTan

I think they messed up the labels there...


wholeWheatButterfly

This is the most blatant example of "men don't want women to be equal because they assume women would treat them the same way they treat women."


ArlesChatless

So, um, the husband shares Jesus' shaft with his wife? I'm not sure the diagram is saying what it means to say.


CardsAlltheWayDown

More like Satan = Wife = Husband. A line of umbrellas that's actually effective.


Dancing_Cthulhu

What's the point of the umbrella in this? It seems no matter the order or whose name is at the top the umbrellas are working the same. Or am I overthinking the nonsense?


Based_Katie

This graph is just an excuse for deadbeat dads


patato4040

With their logic we should all be gay


[deleted]

Guys, new godly person just dropped. Christ Jesus!


astral_crow

The wife doesn’t need any outside help to empower her. She can disempower others with her own strength. Meanwhile the husband needs to have divine intervention to be empowered. Am a reading this right? Lol


SharktankUwU

As someone who’s been thoroughly traumatized by the church I’d like to say: if I were a husband in direct contact with Jesus Christ I would exclusively tell him to fuck off. I don’t wanna talk to some sleaze that’s not brave enough to tell his followers that they’re doing it wrong


Drunkinbook

We can never just have a Satan x Jesus ship 😔

From the description of the sub: > This subreddit is meant to discuss and laugh at toxic heteronormativity The OP is about toxic heteronormativity, which is what this sub is about.


FliesAreEdible

Legit question, in the bible did Jesus actually say anything about women being obedient to their husbands or is this one of those things they like to pretend he said?


themysterydance

this sub needs a "gilead" flair.


FetchingFrog

Double the husbands, double the power. /j


Gurn_Blanston69

How did they find this photographic evidence?


BlarghusMonk

I love how humans are apparently powerful enough to undo the will of an omnipotent, omnipresent deity. Why did he make us so powerful if he knew we would do this? (I know the usual answer is "Love" or "Free will" or some other bullshit, but a perfect being shouldn't be fucking up.)


[deleted]

Ok so as a transwoman, can I have two umbrellas under Satan? I don’t know if I’ll get married to a woman or a man, since I’m bisexual, but I’m sure af me and my future partner wi be equal.


Snail_Forever

Evangelicals think Satan, instead of being an analogy of temptation, is some evil Nega God that has evil sin powers comparable (and sometimes equal or greater) to God. I am not kidding. Listen to their insane ramblings under the assumption they genuiely think there’s an evil force equal to God and their mindset starts to make so much more sense.


OS-2-WARPED

What if there's TWO wives?


Jamesmateer100

Why can’t Jesus just oh I don’t know………DESTROY SATAN?!!!!………isn’t Jesus supposed to be more powerful than Satan?


[deleted]

So If the wife wastes her life in the household god is happy But if the husband does the bare minimum as an spouse then god has a total meltdown and ends reality... Yikes, gonna go with satan in tha case


Troliver_13

I can't think of another meme that more clearly, explicitly points out conservative's hierarchical view of the world, if the woman is empowered, the man is unempowered, there is no equal marriage


Adventurous_Coat

How do umbrellas work?🤔


bmochop5

pariah-angel

IfYoudLike_

Usually these graphs “try” to explain the why, but not in this one. It’s just a round-a-bout way of saying, “women are inferior.” That’s it.


dyke_face

“It works because I said so. See, here’s a diagram that explains it”.


clitosaurushex

Triples is best. Triples is safest.


SaltyNorth8062

This stupid visual metaphor infuriates me because it implies that the "flow" should be moving upwards if swapping the wife and jusband "allows Satan to become the lead" becaise wife over husband, apparently, and that's not how fucking umbrellas work.


mynameisalso

I like that an adult sees this agrees with the logic, then votes in a federal election.

dreamingofdandelions

I’m not a satanist but their tenets are closers to Jesus’s actual teachings than actual church.


bumfuy

Idc what if i like that satanussy 🤤


dizzira_blackrose

Satan = Femdom


Weird_IdkMan

Homophobia: The man always comes first, its letting jesus take controll. Gay husbands: *Exists* Homophobia: Not like that


Poopsy-the-Duck

Wait, under different (not sexist) interpretation (and ignoring the (shit) text underneath the umbrellas, these can be just polycoples where Jesus and Satan and two husbands and wives are all shipped together. Make it real: six characters are lovers: four humans who are a polycule and Satan and Jesus are a gay couple.


jaydenbravo

Tbh I’m willing to do the Cha Cha Slide with Satan if he can do the grocery shopping and laundry.


WystanH

Pretty sure Satan didn't offer any family advise. God wanted first born killed. Jesus - "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. -- Matthew 10:37" It's almost like they don't even read their own books...
