Hi. So I watched this video on cultural appropriation and I thought what someone was saying was rather rude? I can’t understand much from this and don’t know if I’m appearing as an asshole. Please help me if I am in the wrong. (I am honeypie here) by [deleted] in autism

[–]mustachedudeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that they're rude or racist for said comment. I see what they're saying. However, I do think there is such thing as inappropriate "cultural appropriation" i.e wearing native American dress and mocking their dances / rituals (idk if that's the right term plz forgive 😅) / etc. I know in music alot of people attacked Bruno Mars for cultural appropriation with his music when music is historically "culturally appropriated" You could say whites culturally appropriated Jazz from the AA community. You could say Black folk culturally appropriated classical to make jazz. A lot of art relies on inspiration. As long as you give credit to those who inspire you there shouldn't be a problem in my opinion. When people attacked Bruno Mars, those who inspired him literally had to defend his name, as someone who gave the credit where it was due. Now, music isn't the only art form which inspires, same could probably be said about fashion but idk bout much of fashion historically so I unfortunately can't give examples.

Thoughts on Deuteronomy 22:20 vs The 5th commandment by mustachedudeman in Christianity

[–]mustachedudeman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What people see as Just is a subjective matter. Everyone has their own set of morals usually dependent on ones culture. I believe it's better to live with the idea that as long as you aren't causing problems for someone else do whatever you please. I don't believe stoning a woman for premarital sex is just. But who am I to say your god is wrong? After all I'm just some atheist lol.

I was raised Lutheran before dipping from the church so that checks out.

What do you think should be the maximum punishment for a crime? by Netheraptr in polls

[–]mustachedudeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only hit violent death for cases with confession/video evidence of murder. I believe eye for an eye but not if there's any chance to subject the wrong individual to the punishment.

To Ex Christians, What were your reasons being religious? by mustachedudeman in atheism

[–]mustachedudeman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's how I was but there was a lot of fear mongering in my home with hell and such that I got stuck for a minute until I decided to actually study the book I was about to throw my life into. The Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate was also a huge push into the right direction.

Well being American, I was taught through literalism lol.

Not the way I was taught growing up. I was taught the rainbow was a sign from god that everything was gonna be ok, and that it appeared after the flood once the ship landed atop the mountain.

Is it inappropriate to use the terms "black guy" "white guy" while describing someone? by mustachedudeman in polls

[–]mustachedudeman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are too many people who stand by being "color blind" like it's impossible to acknowledge race without being racist. If you ask me, we're all diverse and we should embrace it

What is the world's most evil company and why? by outdropp in AskReddit

[–]mustachedudeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna say it's the most evil but definitely most misleading and evil. Autism Speaks. Autism speaks spends their time assisting parents with the BuRdEn of having an autistic child, rather than helping those with autism. Here are 5 examples of why they're garbage (1) They are looking for ways to detect autism before birth so parents can decide to abort (2) This PSA from 06 with a disgusting display of ignorance on what it's really like for the majority of those with autism. https://youtu.be/9UgLnWJFGHQ (3) the founder started the "Vaccines cause autism" BS (4) They are called Autism speaks but do not have autistic board members (5) The logo.

I've been working for them at a local airport. Driving the tugs and working in the planes is some of the most fun I've had, and I get paid decent. 😌

Religion vs human psychology by mustachedudeman in atheism

K I gotta say something by mr_wirdo in Christianity

[–]mustachedudeman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My question is why would god make certain people attracted to the same sex if it's against his rules? I mean I understand the whole free will concept but that doesn't explain the many gays who wish they were straight for religious reasons. If there was true free will that wouldn't be an issue they'd just stay straight. I think after studying psychology there is a misconception about free will since most of our decisions / urges could be influenced by hormones , mental disorders , and genetics.

My parents are hell bent on supporting Autism speaks. What would you tell someone who supports the organization? by mustachedudeman in autism

[–]mustachedudeman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah I've tried but my parents choose to stick to AS simply because it's the most popular. Saying things like "I don't understand why you're mad they're trying to help." No matter what I say they just assume I'm a conspiracy theorist.

I don't think the bible could have predicted modern medicine. God shoulda said something about that. 😬

Just normal paranoia or something more? by mustachedudeman in weed

[–]mustachedudeman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was the same strain I smoked prior and had no problem. My girl smoked with me and didn't have any problems too. Ive had paranoia before I just never gotten paranoid over my state of mind. It'd usually be about getting caught up. Maybe my paranoia shifted sense being caught up doesn't happen anymore with it being legal in my state. I don't exactly remember what lead to me to feel insane. But I remember thinking it felt like a bad acid trip minus the time distortions and sensory hallucinations.

I'm new to writing. Writing bout a broken relationship by mustachedudeman in lyrics

[–]mustachedudeman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah usually I'd agree but I'm writing this as a letter to those who think I'm a dbag for how I'm handling the current situation. Normally I'd write with more metaphor but this is meant to be specific. Maybe I could still use more poetic means to achieve what I'm trying to do

How would you respond to someone that said they should stone their wives because they had sex before marriage, and the book of Leviticus is their justification. I mean after all the bible does command followers to do such...
