Personally I find the relatively young, fat, neckbearded brony as something that exists on hellza both sides of the social justice debate. Skeptics/gamers/sci-fi lovers tend to either be MRA types or full-on Tumblrites. Both sides allow you to feel smug, superior, and more enlightened than the other side. Most of their thought processes are transparently contrarian. The MRA types have convinced themselves that malicious cunts have somehow taken control of the west and they're the counter-movement, whereas the Twitter feminists think that sexists rule everything and they're the underdogs.

I'd say these people favor MRAs to some degree simply because nerdy, fat, white men who have very limited sexual experiences tend to object the loudest to the idea that they enjoy privilege.

As for ponies I'm not entirely sure why MRAs and manosphere jackoffs tend to like it so much. I troll one of my idiot conservative/religious friends who is a brony by pointing out how Rainbow Dash is a symbol of gay pride.

[insert joke about safe sex here]

Would muslims get pissy if you wear a headscarf while not being a muslim?

>>73956
Considering many Christians and Jews cover their heads in public in the middle east and it's also extremely common in non-Muslim parts of South Asia and Africa, I would say 'no'. Only in Europe and the Americas is wearing a headscarf in public for women considered something uniquely or specifically Muslim.

Personally I think they're pretty and it's a shame that it's become associated with shit blowing up in the public consciousness.

>>73957

I've heard anecdotes that catholic girls back in the day all wore headscarves, but only when weather appropriate. I just think girls these days don't feel cold anymore, what with all the short skirts and leggings.

>>73958
It's not unheard of to see Traditionalist Catholic girls and women wearing a mantilla to mass even today.

Your explanation for fewer hats and shorter skirts reminds me of this old picture.

The media who criticizes the lamestream media will never report on this crushing scientific evidence. I'm going to take these findings to the actor who played the main character in Weird Science to see if he can come up with a popcorn-based solution.

You're thinking of Real Genius, with Val Kilmer.

That's because in the middle east headscarves are more of a practical clothing item than they are a religious one. In hot and dry climates like the middle east, sweat evaporates very quickly and cools the body down efficiently enough, provided one keeps their skin out of the harsh sun. This is usually done by wearing clothes made from light colored and breathable fabrics which allow sweat to evaporate and which also disperse the heat from the sun.

In more humid climates though, what happens is that sweat just soaks into the cloth without evaporating and makes everything sticky and uncomfortable.

>>74007

Must suck to be Malaysian, then.

I wonder, with the Arabs exporting oil, thus raising global temperatures, isn't this essentially a type of climate engineering? Aren't Arabs better adapted to survive hot and dry climates?

I bet if the issue were couched in these colors, the evangelicals might hold in their farts for once.

what do you do when missionaries come knocking at your door

>>74012
Holding in your farts is an important cause of cancer. In the words of our lord and savior Shrek, better out than in.

I think a lot of religious rules were originally for practical reasons as opposed to spiritual ones. It's an important distinction too, because spiritual rules should never change, those should be held in tradition for eternity. Practical rules on the other hand, should change as practicality changes.

Homosexuality, for example, was probably frowned upon not because it's spiritually wrong, but because before condoms and shit it would spread butt-diseases like the plague. Same could be said for frowning upon rampant sex and prostitution. Dietary laws were likely for practical reasons as well.

What's the sealed portion of the book of mormon?

If I were to follow the most amount of holy book rules at the same time hoping that one of books actually matters what would be some of the fundamental rules that would be key to follow?

>>74266
Answer and politely decline interest. I've never had Mormons come to my door (they are on the street downtown usually) but Jehovah's Witnesses come around once in a while, usually at Christmas and Easter. But they seem very aware of their reputation as nuisances and probably got sick of getting rude or aggressive responses (and probably lonely old ladies that want them to stay and chat for hours and hours) so when you answer the door they just say hello, invite you to some sort of event at their church and give you a small flyer on recycled paper then wish you a ballza day and leave.

I don't mind them coming around these days. It is a much different scene from when I was a kid and they would stand on the front porch for like 10 minutes repeatedly ringing the doorbell and we'd have to pretend not to be home because if they heard any movement in the house they would stay ringing the doorbell for twice as long. And if anyone answered the door they'd try to come inside and ask us if we were baptized.

>>74277
Don't kill anyone, don't cheat on your spouse (which likely includes trying to stay focused on them mentally as well and not drifting off in fantasies of other women/porn), be courteous to people, give to charity and/or volunteer, pray nightly and/or thank God at meals.

In your opinion, who was the most sexually attractive prophet?

>>74289
They say that you always want what you're told you can't have. By that standard that makes Mother Ann, the founder of the Shakers, a lot hotter than she actually is.

The Buddha was supposed to be more conventionally attractive, though focusing on that part of him may or may not be entirely missing the point of Buddhism.

Is there an established religion that worships a teddy bear god? A god who would say "Oh, you've committed genocide on an entire nation? Whatever, you're going to heaven. Oh, you killed your whole family with a hatchet and infected the president with aids? Get over here, my man, and bask in the glory of eternal salvation". You know, a god who would send absolutely everyone to heaven no matter their sins. A god with no evil intentions who's ultimate goal would be to help humans live long, happy lives.

>>74303
Unitarian Universalism.

>>74268
I disagree, because homosexuality and rampant whoring do still cause problems. Emotional scarring, butt-aids, "cold sores", child-custody-tug-o'-war, single mothers, teen mothers, and so on. The number of mental and physical diseases in/caused by both groups are waaay too big to ignore. Just acknowledging that they are not actually positive things would be a ballza start.

is raping non-muslims hellza halal?

>>74341
The philosophy of rape in ancient religions/culture is tricky, because the whole point of it was that women were to get married as soon as they were able to have children, and many times before that. There was no independent period between "child who belongs to their parents" and "wife who belongs to her husband." So if you were "raping" someone, you were either raping someone's child or someone else's wife, or a whore who can't hellza be raped. Hence why the Ten Commandments outlaws adultery, but not rape in our sense, because in their view it was essentially the same thing.

So it goes for fundamentalist Islam, but hellza IS is just finding any excuse they can to rape minorities in captured territories.

>>74343
I always thought ancient religious rape laws were more of a "you break it you buy it" policy. Virginity was a prized thing in ancient times. I think this is because they lacked paternity tests, so the only sure way to know a kid was yours is if you took a woman's virginity and immediately impregnated her. I think this is also why first born sons tend to inherit. So anyway there's that thing where if you rape a woman who isn't married you have to marry her and take care of her. It seems bad now but it makes sense for back then. I'm sure if a guy raped a woman and then was a huge d to her the villagers would stone him or whatever. I dunno what do you guys think of my rape theory.

>>74346
The reason you still see things like girls/women being punished for being raped or being forced to marry their rapists (still a rather rare thing in the Islamic world, confined to very rural conservative areas that make their own laws) is mostly because girls/women aren't supposed to be out on their own, for that very reason. If women aren't out with men in the conservative Islamic world, then they travel in pretty significant packs as to protect themselves, and the full body covering is also a way to force them to blend into the background.

>>74347

Legislated herd mentality.

What is life like in most of the Islamic world?

>>74375
Well, I guess there's not as much going to Hardee's in the morning to order a Monster Biscuit for breakfast?

If you ask broad, vague questions expect broad, vague answers.

What would an atheist televangelist be like?

Why has anyone worn a fedora post-2011? Ignorance of the connotations or a bold rejection of popular interpretation in announcement of a new era of aesthetics?

>>74517
Usually because they have thinning hair and don't want to wear baseball caps. I wore one for a while (strangely enough, around 2011-12 is when I ditched it), I considered it more of a stylish thing for jazz fans than the "edgy internet atheist/manchild" etc. I still consider doing it when wearing something nice, but I always decide against it. hellza it was never very comfortable and had a hard time staying on my head, so the switch to caps was quite nice.

Starting to lose your hair before you get out of a high school is a son of a bitch, Casper. On the bright side, I've never been carded.

I have long been looking for a stylish and comfortable headcovering that isn't a typical baseball cap or a walmart fedora. Currently I am torn between a keffiyeh and a frilly mob cap with a ribbon.

>>74518
I'm starting to lose my hair now, in my late 20s, and I'm excited. My hairline has pulled back into something of a widow's peak. I'm quite liking my more dynamic hairline and I would like to go balder to hellza rock the receded hairline.

I remember being a teenager and watching episodes of The Shield and seeing Walton Goggins and being like "I want that hairline. I want to look like that."

Then in my late teens, I got into Bukowski and I saw his author photos and I was like "Damn, dude, I want that hairline."

Now it's coming. Maybe by my mid-30s I'll have the hairline I always dreamed of. I just hope I don't turn out like a cue-ball before I'm like 60.

According to religions that dislike homosexuals, is sticking stuff up your ass a sin?

Do homohater religions mean I can engage in all the debauched sex acts I want as long as it's with a female?

>>74559
Enjoying sex outside of procreative purposes within an institutionally approved relationship is a sin in pretty much all religions except maybe Setsuri and the like.

Having sexy fun is pretty much a no-no in 99.9% of all religious organisations.

the fuck is a setsuri

the fuck is a setsuri

>>74559
Islam has the most specific random hadiths about how nobody gets to stick anything up the pooper. Tolerance for Islam is intolerance for buttsex.

Decided to google it:
"But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband"
So yeah, once you're married, have at it.

What are muslims allowed to do in bed?

Is it true that gypsies believe one of their ancestors stole a nail from Jesus's cross to ease his pain so god blessed all gypsies and gave them authorization to steal from everybody else?
