It is a sin to live as LGBT.
It is not God’s will.
But Jesus can change you.
They can’t even get their own scripture right, so I’m not surprised someone would botch this so badly, too.
Wow! All the Black people who experience systemic racism will be thrilled to know that Jesus can make them white.

You know what is a real sin? The fucking way that people in society are treated as productive workforces to further enrich the rich. The way that people get kicked on the street if they miss a rent payment. The way that the newspaper headlines say it’s a tragedy that the Titan submersible sank, but if thousands of refugees drown in the mediterranean sea, it’s not even worth a headline anymore. (i’m still pissed about the latter one). Refugees that exist in the first place because of rich people’s greed for oil.
Fun fact, medieval Christians in some parts of Europe actually believed that “moors” (a catch all term for Africans at the time) with black skin would become white if they converted to Christianity, and there were many popular tales of this happening. Race as a concept hadn’t really been invented yet, but medieval people did notice that people they encountered who had dark skin often practiced Islam and wrongly assumed that believing in Islam was the cause of the dark skin rather than it just being who happened to convert.
Modern Christians haven’t really changed much.

Right, because kids going through all this sexual/mental stress when they hit high school love making their lives more difficult with bullying and hatred, when they could just choose to be straight. Damn idiots.
/S
*Lol the black edit.
It’s called the BI-ble, not the Straight-ble. Adam AND Eve, not Adam or Eve.
I haven’t realized I am black until this post. Thanks religion, I’m now black because I’m a white bisexual guy.
The opposite is true. If you’re gay, God made you that way for a damn good reason! Who are you to question His will? It is a mortal sin for a gay man to sleep with a woman!
That’s something archaic. God created you so you are attracted to people with the same sex attributes as yours. You ultimately decide what to do with it. You can’t know God’s intent, my child. Maybe he created you to become as strong as a bear, but maybe you were created as bottom generator
Sorry, I’ve got to nitpick your excellent snarky comeback:
It is a mortal sin for a gay man to sleep with a woman!
Such a man isn’t committing a sin; he’s merely bi and confused about labels.
Only if he sleeps with a woman because he likes it. Lots of gay men sleep with women to avoid the stigma of being a known homosexual (and/or being in denial and/or internalized homophobia).
Wait, christianity doesn’t approve of sex for pleasure, and many of these gay men in denial genuinely like their wives (just not sexually). Carry on, then.
And being bi is, apparently, fine.
No, bisexuals are erased like usual.
Who?
In 1836 Elijah Abel was similarly promised he would “be made … white in eternity”
this is bi erasure.
No, see it’s okay to be bi!
And Black erasure at the same time.
As god intended. Apparently.
There are very likely an alarming number of religious people who’d agree.
You have an extra caret.
On my Jerboa it was supposed to look like this:
that’s strange…
We arent even visible to the haters ;_;
Why are you reposting ragebait shite
It’s obviously satire with “black”
The difference between satire and reality is slimmer than most care to admit. Poe’s Law most of all makes it near impossible to pull off “perfect” satire that’s obviously satire to everyone.
The only thing making this post satire compared to what many conservatives unironically believe (yes, even about black people) is it was posted to 196
How do you become black? Asking for a friend.
Vote for Joe Biden.
Honestly, academically speaking, that is an interesting question. It probes at the heart of what race really is.
Is race how you are perceived? Then if someone darkened their skin and had surgery to take on certain facial features, sufficient to the point that people read and treat them as black, are they then black?
Is race genetic? What if a white person used hypothetical generic engineering to give themselves a genotype of someone with largely African ancestry? Their phenotype is still white, but their genotype is black. They aren’t read as white, but any children they have will be. Are they black? Will their children be? What if the genetic treatment also changes their phenotype? They now have the genes and a visual appearance that most would identify as black, but they know nothing of black culture and have lived in predominantly white communities their whole life. Are they now black?
Is race more about culture? Do you have to be raised as part of a black community to be black? If a white person adopts a black infant and raises them to adulthood in an entirely white rural town, is that child black? What if the parents are super racist and try to turn their adopted kid visibly white by lightening their skin, and they do this to the kid from birth? Is the kid still black? What about the opposite? What if it’s a white baby adopted by black parents and raised in a predominantly black community? Is that child black? What if the parents alter the child’s appearance to be visibly black, and do so from birth?
It’s honestly a really interesting question, and countless dissertations and books have been written on the subject of what exactly race is. So I’m not really qualified to answer this question. I frankly don’t know what precisely defines a person’s race. My impression is that ultimately race is a very squishy, poorly defined concept. The questions above probe the definition by investigating its edges. Another way to do so would be to consider the concept of passing (in a racial sense.)
I don’t really have any answers here, only questions. But your question, “how do you become black?” really sent me down a rabbit hole. When you take the question seriously, it really starts getting to the heart of just what this thing we call "race* really is.
By sinning. Apparently.
This is a real belief of the mormons.
I thought God changed his mind about black people in 1978?
What about the natives?
Hasn’t worked for me.
Skill issue. You’re just not sinning hard enough.

Idk I didn’t watch the movie
Dude. Dude. Watch the movie, it’s so good. I rarely watch movies twice and I’ve seen it three times.
Shoe polish?
I learned from South Park that you can get a medial procedure done for that
Call Rachel!
Wow thats so offensive to ask. Get Out! /$
It’s always fun when religious people claim to know what is or is not gods intent or doing, when they so often claim “his ways are unfathomable for us mere humans” whenever it suits them.
Or they use the Bible as source, a book written by humans who they never knew and cannot verify if they were terrible people. (based on the content of the bible they most likely were assholes based on modern values)
As a christian, it deeply saddens me to see oyher people who call themselves “christians”, yet they spread hate and antipathy, going agaisnt basically everything that Jesus taught.
Wait, what do you mean you aren’t born bla—
You can bet hard cash that there are an uncomfortable number of ignorant people who thoroughly believe that one isn’t born black, but becomes black through any one (or more) of a myriad of perplexing and completely irrational reasons.
I mean, blackness is a social construct. Though it’s going to be a bit hard to make other people stop seeing you as black …
Yes, I do. Unfortunately, there was a myth that blah blah blah being black is the mark of Cain after killing Abel and people believed it.
