He seemed like the kind of guy who'd be into thighs tbh

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Definitely a member of the thighdeology sect

[–] severalkittens@ani.social 10 points 1 day ago

We call it thighentology around these parts

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Could he not have been ace?

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Considering this is the middle east were talking about, he'd be an ankle/feet man

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago

That's why he always wanted to wash them

[–] introvertcatto@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He could be asexual who doesn't experience sexual desire at all. I mean just possibility

I know asexuality is spectrum and not everyone experiences sexual desires same way.

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Assuming the Catholic you're talking to recognizes asexuality exists. It's funny that accepting asexuality is a way out of blasphemy here though.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Funnier that they demand their priests be celibate but don't recognize asexuality. Like, what do they think is happening with priests who aren't getting caught in sex scandals? Sure some of them probably just have more willpower, but I'm willing to bet money that many of them are just asexual and never had to think about it or identify that way because they were instead celibate for their faith.

[–] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You know, I learned that a long time ago, Catholic Priests used to be allowed to marry, but because they didn't really have any of their own possessions or property, priests were cared and provided for by the Church. If they did get married, the wife also was cared for. And in a religion that sees birth control as blasphemy, that means that the kids would also be cared and provided for. And when you have a lot of priests, all getting married and having lots of kids, that gets expensive. So now priests have to be celibate.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Not all catholic priests have to be celibate! Eastern rite Catholics (around 1 percent of Catholics) are able to marry and have kids! Also, there's something called the personal ordinate, where former Anglican priests can be ordained as catholic priests and Anglican parishes/congregations can be joined to the Catholic Church while retaining uniquely Anglican cultural and liturgical elements, and if the priest is already married they can still be ordained, even though they're ostensibly within the western rite (the one where priests can't marry), but AFAIK if they're unmarried when they make the switch they cannot then get married.

Orthodox priests can also marry (but only before becoming priests. If unmarried when ordained, unmarried you must remain*), and are considered to be in full communion with the Catholics, and while I've never looked into it, I'm sure there's something similar to the personal ordinate for them as well.

*I like this system better than western rite. Priests can marry but once they're in that position of power over people they can't. Because in theory at least, it'd be easy for an unmarried priest to take advantage of a parishioners they were sexually interested in, because there is such an inbalance of power between the two, like teacher/student but cranked up to 11. I personally like the Episcopal model

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Interesting, I grew up Catholic and never knew there were exceptions.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 21 hours ago

I didn't either until recently. I knew that historically it hadn't always been the case, and that it was a quirk of the Catholics, not something based in the early church, but until I found the Episcopal church and started learning more about liturgical Christianity, I had no idea.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was also a very convenient way to prevent the nobility from establishing a church dynasty.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Also a convenient place to dump non-inheriting sons.

jesus is an ass man. seen stickers making this statement.

Dick. Jesus was gay.

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's a tough question, to be sure. I mean, we can look through the book for hints about it here and there, but I think the best way is to look at the followers who are closest to him. That said... Pedophile. Jesus was definitely a pedophile.

Asexual people exist, dude.

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Those are just the disguised lizard people.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

You got it slidely wrong. They secretly rule the world but not because they are lizards, that would be absurd, but because they are the only ones who have time to do so because they don't think about sex all the time.

Asexual doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate aspects of the human body.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago

Homie travelled alone with twelve guys that he loved and they truly loved him back. He never made a pass at Mary Magdalene, and when Judas sold him out he sealed Jesus's fate with a kiss.

Jesus was definitely an ass man.
