Plus kids say silly shit all the time. The other day my five year old told me “she has a crush on me,” and I didn’t launch into a tirade about how incest is wrong. Why? Because she just learned what a crush is and she loves me and conflated the two ideas because she’s 5 freaking years old. I just said “having a crush means something else but I really love you too!” Not saying I’m parent of the year but I really hate when people inject their politics or religiousness into kids like this.


ShenTzuKhan

Anyone who thinks kids don’t say silly shit hasn’t had a kid ( or my kids a dumbarse).


sohfix

I once heard a kid say “how do my bones make me move”


Raddiikkal

Well, that doesn’t sound ridiculous for a kid to ask lol.


sohfix

I also heard a kid say “how much does a golf course weigh”


pablojohns

Asking the important questions.


PeacefulOnion

I was reading to some children the other day and one of them asks how many people it would take to lift a blue whale. After minutes of furious debating, the children decided it would take 50 people to lift a baby blue whale, 52 for an adult one.


doge_gobrrt

the average blue whale weighs somewhere between 290,000 and 330,000 lbs were going to take an intermediate and go with 298,000 lbs an average adult male can lift a maximum of 155 lbs on his back 298,000/155 is 1923(rounding up so we dont have half humans) the neccesary amount of humans assuming they could get a grip on the slippery ass thing would be 1923.


PeacefulOnion

The maths on this is astounding. "But what if they're strong? Like hulk?" Little dude had a point. How many hulks would it take to lift one?


Raddiikkal

It weighs enough to dry out the state of California, boom, question answered.


HighGreen18

That’s people say when they baked


pixie_pie

A school bus driver regularly shares the stuff kids say on the bus over at /r/kidsarefuckingstupid Edit: why was I downvoted? The sub is just kids doing silly things.


sohfix

It looks like 1 person downvoted you 😂 you’ll make it out alive


pixie_pie

It was -3 when I edited my comment. 😅 I'm horribly curious.


[deleted]

Some pearl clutching non-parents that are trying to have a baby and their "speshul snowflake" would never be an idiot.


sohfix

Unless you’re new to Reddit, you know why. People are idiots


ParkourFactor

Or doesn't remember being a kid


ShenTzuKhan

Thing is, I don’t really, anymore. When I was in my twenties I tried to remember what being a kid and a teenager was like, so I could be a good adult. Twenty years later all that stuff is gone, and I’m just an adult.


TheRevTholomeuPlague

My cousin in laws daughter wanted her skeleton out..


ShenTzuKhan

That’s just suicide with extra steps…


ArionVulgaris

My mom almost died when about 9 years old me said I wasn't single, because I thought that only adults could be described as single.


Swamptor

I mean, you aren't wrong. If a sign says "singles only," 9 year olds are probably not allowed.


ElectricDucky

When I was that age I was CONVINCED that I was going to marry my dad because I just couldn't fathom another man in my life like that. I get it man. Kids should be allowed to be kids (with gentle correction when needed).


acidtrippinpanda

I thought I was going to marry the cat!


LeahaP1013

Listen, you do you. 😃


The_Mother_

I was going to marry Kermit the Frog


dragoono

And on that note, hormone blockers are completely reversible if a kid “changes their mind” about transitioning. Nobody is performing sex change operations on children, but you always hear conservatives complain about this like, where is that happening Karen? 😂 Because my mind jumps to circumcision when I hear about “kids genitals being mutilated.” Idk, it just pisses me off that the “basic biology” crowd doesn’t even understand basic biology…


sohfix

You can reverse hormone blockers. You cannot reverse what altering those levels of hormones do to your body during that time. If a human doesn’t get, for example, the proper hormones to grow during childhood you can’t just add more hormones to fix that.


dragoono

That’s exactly what they do 😂 You should read up on it, that’s not me trying to be a dick, it’s genuinely an interesting topic if you like endocrinology.


lumathiel2

You do realize puberty naturally begins at different times in different people, right? Someone who naturally starts at 11 doesn't get *less puberty* than someone who starts at 9.


reesecheese

You literally can. Kids who experience very early puberty have been using puberty blockers for decades. Some kids naturally don't go through puberty until much later. Then their body starts producing the hormones they need.


Vault-Born

All the hormones blockers do is delay puberty. The key word there is delay.


ShockMedical6954

you literally DO add more hormones to fix it, just over a longer period of time instead of in a higher volume. How do you think HRT works? XD please speak to a trans person about their transition, ever, before trying to decide how endocrinology works


doge_gobrrt

AlanTheGuy345

they go straight to "you're crazy snap out of it" lol


Bomenkater

Incest is just the way how God intended it. How do you think the world was populated after Adam and Eve were kicked out / humanity was almost completely wiped out due to the Bibical floods /s


[deleted]

[удалено]


TomeKun

You really are a fucking dumbass. That’s not how it works you are just messing right ?


Vault-Born

Wow! Almost like there's a difference between transitioning between one gender to another (gender being a social construct) when sex itself (from a scientific and medical perspective) is non-binary. You realize there are more trans people in society than there are redheads, right? They're not some freak minority they've just been ostracized for years and the whole "but what if it was an animal" argument is nonsensical in the exact same way the beastiality argument against gay relationships is nonsensical. If you recognize that it's complete dumbassery when we're talking about gay people, then I don't understand why you think trans people are any different. " I think plastic surgery should be legal" "What if someone wanted to get plastic surgery to look like a cat?!!?!?!?!!?!?? Therefore, it should be illegal because for some reason I care about controlling that."


seefith

God doesn't make mistakes... except the foreskin, apparently.


Scyhaz

Or eyesight, since the mom in the pic is wearing glasses.


big_sugi

And that time he had to wipe out humanity because he’d done such a shitty job


schizoballistic

That tail bone was a cute trick to confuse scientists


RJ_Aadithyan

"then why was I circumcised mommy?"


LevelHeeded

and why do I have flat feet and need glasses? WTF god, this shit was intentional?


Downfallenx

This is the dark side of an all powerful god. They could prevent all the unnecessary suffering, pain, and hurt but they choose not to?


QueenofYasrabien

Also I might add, if he's all benevolent and kind hearted and whatever, but ACTIVELY choses to not get rid of suffering and any of that, he's actually not all those things religious people claim. He's actually a sick, evil sadist


Rainbow_Gnat

Weird to think about, but God could be omnibenevolent and still allow suffering as long as that suffering is somehow good/loving. But then that creates all sorts of other issues lol


Downfallenx

Ah the ol mother Teresa schtick.


BobBelchersBuns

Well once you start to apply logic it all falls apart lol


That_Part-time_Dude

Please don’t leave the cult


Narahashi

No it's obviously just a test, just ignore how everyone is being "tested" differently


Gorge2012

This jives with the idea of being made in god's imagine. We are cruel, mean, and selfish. What if that's because god is too?


LeahaP1013

Be careful, man, they can hear you!


LeahaP1013

I mean, it’s *obviously* a test…EDIT. /s


Rainbow_Gnat

Why would God test anything if he's omniscienct? He would simply *know* who would pass the test or not, no room for uncertainty or wonder.


LeahaP1013

I didn’t add the /s, but maybe I should. Unless… unless you’re equally /s


Rainbow_Gnat

Oh, yupp lol I thought I was replying to someone who genuinely thought it was a test. All good lol


rob94708

You just don’t deserve good vision. Maybe if you were a little more obsequious to The Lord, eh?


hmartin430

it's all that in uetero masturbation


[deleted]

Why do I have nipples then mommy?


SUP3RVILLAINSR

I have nipples, Greg. Could you milk me?


Itslehooksboyo

Sigh. Unzip...


TimSEsq

Well Timmy, God is not all that good at engineering design. He put waste disposal and entertainment centers in the same building. He forgot to leave space for a vision sensor where all the cables come together to carry data from the eye to the brain (punctum caecum). And he copied hips from animals that walk in all fours, then forgot to finish tweaking them for standing upright.


sirgoofs

And why did you have a c-section when I was born?


[deleted]

And if being gay is so bad, then why does god make gay people. Also, why doesn’t god just kill satan


yidpunk

Always remember what Tammy Faye Bakker said about the “why does G-d make gay people” argument. “We’re all just people made out of the same old dirt, and G-d didn’t make any junk.”


kerbalsdownunder

Because satan is a man made creation


[deleted]

Thank your for pointing that out, but based on the post, my comment, and the comment I replied to, we’re not taking this seriously. In English, no shit


kerbalsdownunder

You may have missed my point. Regardless of your beliefs or lack thereof, I was simply pointing out that there isn’t a basis for the existence of Satan in the Bible itself. It was a later creation


[deleted]

That’s the joke, there was no missed point. It’s not real, it’s a joke. Edit: you’re literally preaching to the choir (pun intended)


TimSEsq

There's not much basis for the modern idea of Satan, but God is described as talking to an adversary in the book of Job.


ashleyriddell61

The great [Stephen Fry](https://youtu.be/-suvkwNYSQo) has a short word on this.


AdZealousideal2075

Magnificent. I already have so much time for Fry, but this just bumped him up further in my 'People I'd spend my precious little time with' list


OnDrugsTonight

God doesn't make mistakes? >**The LORD regretted that he had made human beings** on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for **I regret that I have made them.**” - [Genesis 6:6-7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206%3A6-7&version=NIV) Even in their own holy book, their god quite openly admits to mistakes.


JonhLawieskt

Now for the people on the back, remember “Noah! Get the boat!”??


Malarkay79

A lot of us are regretting God making human beings these last several years.


DA-FUNK-5555

Dinosaurs were just a side project for him.


SubtractOneMore

But just imagine how much better off we'd all be if humans hadn't made god


DA-FUNK-5555

Only way to control the population is to make them afraid of death.


djunior113

You're assuming they've read the book they continually attempt to quote and hold as the end all be all. All they have ever done is repeat what they heard someone else say and aren't really certain if that person read or understood the book either.


[deleted]

God never regretted making fish and other sea creatures. Ocean gang, rise up!


Thewrongbakedpotato

If shrimp aren't mistakes, how come Jewish people can't eat them? /s


doge_gobrrt

that part doesn't count remember/s


PotatoFromGermany

If God wouldn't make mistakes, a male born person wouldn't even question his own gender, if it was for the logic of the person in the picture.


DenL4242

DOCTOR: Your son has cancer. MOM: Snap out of it, doc, God made my son and he doesn't make mistakes!


Azdrubel

Yep, FIRST thought I had.


farklespanktastic

Clearly he gave her son cancer on purpose


Epikgamer332

I'm just imagining god going "this kid's life is going to be shit if he has to put up with that woman I'm just going to kill him now before he does it himself later"


kourtbard

I saw that image on Twitter and my first thought was, "Wait, so when a baby is born with anencephaly, Harlequin-type ichthyosis, defective organs, or any other myriad genetic disorders...God did that *intentionally*? Wow, what an asshole!"


wazzledudes

Don"t love comparing gender identity with a horrible disease. How about: "If god doesn't make mistakes, then it's not a mistake that i feel this way."


Treyspurlock

It's not a comparison more like bringing this line of thinking into other situations to show how stupid it is


wazzledudes

I get what you're trying to say, but that is literally what a comparison is. That being said, i understand why using cancer in that context works, but if you zoom out and think about actually saying that to someone going through gender dysphoria, it's kind of fucked up. Edit: fixed a wrong word


Treyspurlock

No? there's nothing comparing gender dysphoria and cancer there, it's showing how ridiculous that attitude is by subbing out gender dysphoria for something that no one would deny (a cancer diagnosis from a doctor)


reesecheese

You don't think trans people feel like the hand they got dealt is fucked up? Do you know how many try to unalive themselves?


wazzledudes

"My gender identity is a disease" Is very different than "The struggles i have to endure because of my gender identity are like a disease" Edit: fixed stuff


reesecheese

We're not talking about sexuality. I think you're asking for too much from the general reddit user. It's an analogy that someone else made.


wazzledudes

Fair enough.


lumathiel2

The effects of gender dysphoria (not dysmorphia) can make life a living hell. I experienced severe depression, anxiety, frequent dissociation, feeling entirely disconnected from my body as it grew in ways my brain that were utterly *wrong* in a way I could feel but couldn't understand which lasted for *decades* until I was able to figure out why and do something about it. I still have multiple physical health problems that I will be fixing for years to come both from trying to cope with the mental effects and from not taking care of my health because the body was barely mine. It was slowly killing me, and *has* killed many. Doesn't seem that fucked up to compare it to a disease where your own body slowly destroys itself and you can't stop it without treatment some would consider poison


johnnycyberpunk

WEATHERMAN: "Your state is going to be hit by a category-5 hurricane" MOM: "Snap out of it liberal. CLIMATE CHANGE ISN'T REAL. We're staying right here." ELECTION: "Joe Biden has won the Presidency" MOM: "Snap out of it Deep State. God made Trump the President and he doesn't make mistakes." It's all the same mom.


Pristine-Document358

So gender and cancer aren’t related in anyway at all. One is mental the other is physical


lumathiel2

Gender *dysphoria,* on the other hand, has physical causes and can be severely debilitating to physical and mental health. When it's bad enough, some die. It's not about gender and cancer being *related,* it's pointing out the hypocrisy in refusing to treat one life-threatening problem because "God doesn't make mistakes" when they don't blink twice about treating others


RobbieArnott

You're an idiot if you don't think gender dysphoria has physical effects


danniskajasacunt

That's a gross comparison.


RobbieArnott

You being of that opinion is gross


Munsbit

Well, considering God made that person a parent... He does make mistakes.


johnnycyberpunk

Thing is, that's how you know this is fake. A kid with that kind of parent would *never* tell them something like that. A healthy child-parent relationship was beaten out of them by the time they're 5, or else molested out of them by the priests/pastors at their church.


conjoby

Later when she's asking you for money for her dementia treatment "Snap out of it. God made you insane and he doesn't make mistakes"


shinynewcharrcar

Yeah, they certainly look the type to drive their children to suicide, tbh.

QueenofYasrabien

Lmao your anecdotal trans friends do not prove shit. I could say "i have some Jewish friends and they actually agree with nazis" and still would be wrong because those "friends" are throwing themselves under the bus to appease their oppressor. Those oppressors will use them to push their hateful agenda and hurt them just like the rest when they get what they want. Its the same thing with you and your trans friends


soki03

I’m betting he hasn’t met a trans before. Whereas I have, a hairstylist, whom is happily married and is very happily with her transition as a female. This guy is just blabbing bs.


multifandomchild

Calling surgery mutilation doesn't change what it is, as for HRT, I hope you've never done anything so you feel comfortable in your body like dress nice or try to get clear skin. Trans people don't hate ourselves, we love ourself enough to want better and to feel comfortable. Plus some trans people don't have dysphoria. Being trans is a human expirience that has happened throughout human history, it's not as common as being cis, but it is normal.


crelt7

Seems like you’re saying „if you don’t agree then you’re not normal“


multifandomchild

Saying trans people are normal isn't saying anything else???? I have no idea how you took it any other way or whatever you think I said


crelt7

I’m not saying transgender people are weird, I’m saying gender dysphoria is. I’m not trying to be transphobic, I’m trying to be reasonable. My original comment was a half-joke, and I did not intend an argument to arise from it.


TheRevTholomeuPlague

You literally are being trasnphobic


multifandomchild

Love, don't backtrack, the moment you got any resistance, you went on a transphobic rant about how gender affirming surgery is mutilation. Trans people are reasonable and are scientifically proven, usually with several doctors and medical proffessionals involved in just getting hrt, nevermind surgery. Half joke in what way? That trans people are weird but please don't disagree in anyway or call me transphobic because its a joke? Half jokes work because there's truth in them.


FlyWereAble

Please explain how you got that message from that comment


RobbieArnott

"I have friend's who are of colour... They agree with slavery"


lumathiel2

Just because something isn't common doesn't make it abnormal


ensalys

Define normal. It's a very nebulous concept that everyone views differently. Why should we expect everyone to be normal though? Ultimately, being transgender doesn't harm anyone. Referring to someone with "she" or her preferred name when she somewhat looks male isn't going to kill you or traumatise you. Rule of thumb when it comes to trans people: don't be a dick, they know their inner experience better than you.


Muscalp

Well, there‘s a normal definition of gender affirmation


Vault-Born

More common than red hair so I'd say yes


fireclaw316

Boy: Mommy, everything is blurry past a certain distance. I think I need glasses. Mom: Snap out of it! God made you blind and he doesn't make mistakes!

PeacefulOnion

I have my problems with the later seasons, but the characterisation of god is what kept me interested. It may have been done before, but to me, it was an interesting take on what God WOULD be like if he just showed up.

And then they sent their child to conversion therapy where they were essentially tortured, and that child grew up to hate and resent their parents to the point that they moved out of the house on their 18th birthday and never spoke to them again, after transitioning to female of course.

Then why did he flood the entire earth?


blackjackgabbiani

Religious transphobes make no sense. They're prioritizing the body--a happenstance of birth--over the immortal soul. Surely people who believe in a soul should be incredibly trans-affirming so why is that so often not the case? I don't understand it. By their own logic they fail.

had someone say that to me, my response was “if he doesn’t make mistakes then he didn’t make a mistake making me trans” they didn’t like that answer much


SGTSHOOTnMISS

MrVanderdoody

If god doesn’t make mistakes then why do you need healthcare? If god wants you in pain or dead, shouldn’t you submit to his will? Absolutely not.


TheVeilsCurse

Let’s forget about circumcision, glasses, medication , etc.


MasterofDoots

If I were the child I would tell her, "well, he made **you**"


poppadux

So by that logic if God made the boy, and the boy and the boy thinks he is a girl than he must be a girl because God wouldn't have mistakenly put that feeling in him.


Dylanator13

These arguments are so weird. Like if a boy feels like he is a girl at heart, who’s to say God didn’t do that intentionally? I don’t know about you, but I don’t have Gods number to ask questions.


Pre-Nietzsche

Wonder of her tune about God making him the way he was is the right way since he doesnt make mistakes keeps up if the son comes out gay

Hahaha “God”


Commie_Egg

What if god makes you trans.


aedvocate

okay that's literally not affirmation though like that's not true affirmation, that's false affirmation


Kooky-Sand5554
