What branch of Buddhism and what branch of Judaism are we talking about here? There’s more than one branch of each, and those different branches can hold wildly differing beliefs…
All I know is that the ad for the Muslim dating service that pops up on this image page is HAWT. You can almost see that chick’s hairline if you look closely.
It’s like the Muslim version of a nip-slip.
Also, since when does Roman Catholicism have a neutral stance on homosexuality? That square should at least be orange.
Religion became a tool, for the weak to control the strong
With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the fittest was gone
No longer could the biggest man simply take whatever he needed
‘cause damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded
Some of the deeds committed in my name just made me wonder were I went wrong.
Back at the start when I created this, the foundation seemed so strong.
See all the elements were already here, long before I began, I just kind of put it all together
I didn’t really think out a long-term plan.
I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky
So you could navigate the globe or simply watch the sun rise
I covered the earth with plants and fruits,
Some for sustenance and some for beauty
I made the sun shine and the clouds rain so their maintenance wasn’t your duty
I tried to give each creature its own attributes without making them enveloped
I gave you all you all your own space to grow and in your own way space to develop
I didn’t know such development would cause rifts and jealousy
Cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly
You see, I wasn’t really the creator, I was just the curator of nature
I want to get something straight with homosexuals right now: I don’t hate ya
I was a simple being that happened to be the first to wield such powers
I just laid the ground
As a theologian with advanced degrees (lol, true but ridiculous) I have to say that the information contained in this graph is in quite a few cases incorrect. However, I additionally have to say that in its incorrectness it exactly exemplifies the confusion and incorrectness, as to the positions of their various belief systems, of most of these religion’s practitioners. THE POST IS A WIN worth a tithing/offering/zakat of InTeRnetS. I have no doubt that some holiday only, opportunistic, so called practitioners, of all of these faiths will whole heartedly approve of these proposed stances. A wed, Muslim teen having sex with birth control who gets pregnant and wants an abortion?…. Fairly unheard of and often stoned to death or imprisoned well beyond her child-bearing years.
@...suicydking: As a recovering Catholic with 12 years of Catholic school under his belt, here’s the way I understand it. It’s all the in the wording: the chart says “Homosexual Orientation“. Most of the Church has come around to the idea that being gay isn’t a choice, so just being gay isn’t a sin. Had it said homosexual sex, that box would be bright red.
@...MrGrinch: Even then it is highly debated that homosexual sex is a sin. A growing number of people/churches now believe that gay sex was forbidden more for the fact that it was considered wrong to use gay sex to express or gain social and political dominance. In ancient Mediterranean culture it was common for men to rape or have sex with other men to assert said dominance. In times of war men who had conquered a foreign army would rape them in order to show they were dominant and of a higher status. Even then only six verses (out of 66 books) in the bible actually talk about same sex relations and even then it is a brief “don’t do this” type of deal. These verses in no way prohibit, nor do they even speak, to loving, caring sexual relationships between people of the same gender.
tl;dr fuck the catholic church, i hate those assholes anyways.
Now, I strongly believe that the Catholic Church will approve of this and I really don’t want to be nitpicking…BUT…where are the Orthodox and Protestant Churches?
Religion is silly.
Silly people.
And silliness is, as we all know, very, very silly.

under Masturbation, Catholicism is “Condemned in most cases”
so under what circumstances is it not condemned?
lol
@...suicydking: I wondered about that too. AFAIK Catholicism condemns homosexuality 99% of the time (obviously priests and little boys are ok)
This thing is inaccurate. The colours are nice though.
once again, people try to reduce the complexities of religion into a single picture.
As from what I’ve been told/heard, Roman Catholics don’t care if a person is homosexual, just as long as they don’t have sex.
@...multi_masked: Good point.
But i bet they’re a bunch of homophobes anyway, right?
Oh and since when has birth control allowed and masturbation been ‘allowed in most cases’ in islam?
A religion i havent studied much, but i know a few devout muslims who would disagree strongly.
Script Versus Reality….
Catholic girls filled my teen years with more than just a quick pass at second base…
Religion; if you just can’t figure it out by yourself and need more dominance over your freedoms.
@...parasitegod:
If you’re a man I’m pretty sure you can masturbate.
ancient texts governing peoples’ sex lives. tsk tsk.

As a gay man who loves his masturbation and premarital sex (for obvious reasons) I’m gonna go Bhuddist. Yay!

They forgot a column for “Stoneing”.
