Do you think it's getting harder and harder to be an avowed homophobe on today's world?


https://www.towleroad.com/2020/08/christian-tiktok-star-loses-80-of-viewers-after-anti-gay-love-the-sinner-hate-the-sin-rant-watch/

Seventeen-year-old Cash Baker, who previously was among the most popular influencers on TikTok, says views of his videos have fallen by as much as 80 percent after he bashed LGBT people and non-Christians in recent posts.

Baker, who is the younger brother of the TikTok music duo Cash and Maverick, also said hes lost thousands and thousands of his more than 16 million followers.

Me being a Christian, can I support the LGBT community? No, I cannot, Baker said in an Aug. 5 video. So am I behind the LGBT community? Do I promote it? Do I encourage it? Absolutely not. But guys, you gotta understand. Everybody gets that so confused with us saying that we hate LGBTQ people and all that. But guys, no, that is completely, completely wrong.

Guys, in the Bible it says that one sin is as equal as all sin, and it says man should be with woman and woman should be with man, Baker added. So therefore, guys, yes, it is a sin in the Bible. But guys, everyone sins. I sin all the time. That does not mean I love you any less or look at you any different.

Baker also suggested that followers of Islam, Hinduism, and Judaism worship false Gods. He later deleted the controversial videos and posted follow-upsattempting to explain them away, but the self-inflicted damage was done, and in fact he only made things worse.

Insider reports: Within four days of posting the TikToks, Baker said in a follow-up video that he loves everybody and wasnt being disrespectful to other religions. He also said his peers and friends cautioned him against making the videos, telling him that he would lose fans and possibly brand deals and sponsorships that allow TikTokers to monetize their content. Baker also said his TikTok views had decreased significantly. He estimated that he received more than 1 million views per TikTok before he posted the videos but that his views had since fallen to about 200,000 to 300,000 per video. He also suggested, however, that his non-Christian and LGBTQ viewers would end up in hell.

Its 2020 and you still have people who believe a man in love with another man or a woman in love with another woman is sinful and will cause them to plummet the fiery pits of hell

"I don't hate them cause while it's a sin, we're all sinners" is a bad fucking take

Its one of the dumbest ways to try to rationalize anti-gay views.

Yeah, that's just stupid. Better throw out 1/3 of the Trinity if you believe that.

Think it's just time for people to admit that Christianity, at least in that form, is no longer a good holdover.

If you need a church community, universal humanitarianism is great.

Like this was a pretty progressive take in the 90s. This was what my closeted gay priest would tell us. Like I'm not joking. We found out my priest was gay when he was caught at an anonymous circle jerk in a public park group. It was a sting operation and he was arrested with his face and name plastered all over the news.

Like in theory it is an "ok" mindset, but typically people aren't at all consistent with saying all sins are equal. They really care a lot about same sex sins and don't care about other ones nearly enough.

As a bisexual person, I also don't appreciate my gay sexual actions being referred to as sin while my hetero sexual actions are viewed as less sinful.

Newer generation is a lot more open-minded and not hung up on things like sexual orientation as much as the older generations.

Just because someone is a Christian or goes to church every week doesn't mean they understand their faith.

I always find it funny when people say that specific passage is totally legit in the Bible but dont take other things as equally true.

Like stoning people to death, having to marry your rapist and a dozen other things that might have been the thing then but are horrible now.

Its also that same subset of people that cant get past that things change and with that your views need to change also. Changing your mind when new facts are presented is not a weakness

Taken literally as a fear of homosexuals, that's definitely not a homophobic stance, at least in that vid. He says he can't get behind or support an LGBTQ movement. So he's a neutral non-participant in promoting LGBTQ stances. He also goes for the fairly common Christian mantra of talking about how God is love and how he wants to recreate that with his actions plus the usual reference to how all people sin, post Adam.

I understand where hes coming from, but he went about it wrong. Its sad to see Christianity ridiculed as a whole when there are specific people in the religion preaching everything wrong.

Don't be a bigot then, seems pretty simple.

You either support the LGBTQ+ community and are a decent person, or you're a shit person.

Yeah there seems to be a lot of Christians around, the yall-burn-in-hell types, who follow the stereotype much more closely than they do the Bible.
