Theyre gonna learn a lot about themselves

    Gyms are becoming breeding grounds for white supremacists and the proud boys. Probably more about indoctrination than learning.

    I'm not having gay sex? I'm hiding my penis safely inside this Christian man's asshole so that women can't get to it unless they are my wife.

    I seem to recall that the very same passage in their Bible that condemns lust as thoughtcrime also prescribes a remedy—and it's to gouge out your own leering eyes, not bar women from public spaces.

    You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

    Thanks for the bible verse, the next time I get asked why I’m not religious, I’ll use “I don’t want to gouge out my own eyes” as the reason. I also don’t want to whip slaves, but I think they removed that after the old testament

    God approves and disapproves of slavery in both the new testament and old testament. Also in matthew 5:17-20 Jesus very clearly states that the old testament is to be followed. So even if the new testament did not include what seems to be approval of slavery, it would still not matter. But the bible also disapproves of slavery. If you want a whole lot of stuff you can quote on what you do not want to do, I would suggest looking up the skeptics annotated bible. They make some great collections.

    This is a dumb response to the issue but some people, both men and women, do show up to the gym in outfits that are viewed as inappropriate in a vast majority of other places. It's not terribly difficult to keep your attention focused elsewhere but it is understandable that some want to be able to get in a work out without other people's asses in their face on a constant basis.

    I'm sure most of Lemmy will call that opinion prudish or something similar but everyone is entitled to their own thoughts on stuff like that. It's true that fashion is a personal choice but I don't see why you would want to do things you know will make others uncomfortable either.

    Seriously. Who needs a gym when you have lust?

    Aside from all the gay references here this is a real two edged sword. On one hand, get all these right wing misogynist asshats away from women in gyms. Otoh, this is just another recruiting ground and echo chamber for right wing redpill incel BS.

    Can confirm.

    I went to a dudebro gym. It was a fucking incel hive mind.

    Half the encouragement was to "bang any bitch you want" and the other half was about reclaiming masculinity.

    One guy kept talking about "fighting for our right for survival" like motherfucker, you're a 6ft white dude. Chill.

    If the gym doesn't have a BLM/LGBT flag and a bunch of diversity, I don't join.

    We should congratulate them, it's hard to be straight when you are that gay.

    Can you edit the post to the original link, OP?

    https://baptistnews.com/article/men-only-gyms-seek-to-protect-christian-men-from-lust/

    It's real, but also more critical than you'd think, and worth a read:

    This is what Hambrecht and Parsons are doing with their male-only gyms. They’re spreading conspiracies about morality and traditional marriage that cast women as dangerous. They’re promoting men rising up as warrior-kings who are ready to fight evil, and they’re getting rid of women who they claim are ruining everything.

    EDIT:

    To join Parsons’ Christian manosphere, it’s a bit more intense. Gym members must sign a covenant called “Rule of Life” that requires such beliefs as “marriage as one man and one woman,” or “two genders, given by God at creation.” And it requires strict adherence to “the behavioral and moral standards of the Remnant Gym membership agreement.” Their website says, “Christian authority is enforced through ownership, contracts and the courage to hold the line.”

    I'm sure they display a big anatomically correct Jesus on a cross right over a bench press, all sweaty and ripped in a tiny loin cloth. His cum gutters all glittering in the light with a look of pain on his face that wouldn't be out of place in an S&M club.

    Seriously though, why does every gym have that one guy who only wears "Christ is King" tshirts and backpacks? My guy even leaves bibles out on top of his parked bicycle. I'm tempted to go in only wearing Satanic Temple shirts to openly mock him.

    Lots of definitely not gay stuff is going to be happening there. Gay dudes with a thing for closeted guys are going to have a field day.

    Giving your best bro a BJ will help protect him from sinful thoughts.

    They're either super gay or someone needs to check their hard drives.
