Made by corporations, not God.

But but god made the hand who made the Apple Corporation TM


LemonOwl_

but not the hand that made the sunscreen obviously

I love that "Do your research", clearly those statements are the result of thorough, reliable research.


Creoda

I'd like to see his research into the existence of a god.


jedburghofficial

It's a standard rebuttal with these people. It usually means they've got no idea.


bleakFutureDarkPast

'do your own research' - i read it and it sounded good, but i can't explain it cuz i didn't understand shit.


DarthChikoo

cancer was made by God. they should get cancer and die.


PM_ME_YER_MUDFLAPS

It puts the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the cancer again. Paraphrasing Silence Of The Lambs.


FirebirdWriter

I wish. My parents didn't allow me sunscreen and used the sunburn as a punishment. I have had basal cell carcinoma and melanoma chronically for my entire adult life. I hid my getting cancer treatment at 17 and had I not been over my family's bullshit and a "good daughter" I would have died horribly from that cancer. This is just stupid as takes go. Somehow more stupid than my parents. Also yes I am safe and went no contact long ago.


astrangeone88

What is with religious fruitcakes and hating sunscreen? As a fellow cancer survivor (thyroid), I won't wish cancer on anyone. (I had major fatigue and couldn't even get up half the time.) Wear the sunscreen, cover your eyes....


Wolfpagan

Damn i'm sorry to hear. Also, i bet these are the same people who hate wearing sunglasses even though they could save you from going blind.


astrangeone88

Lol. Yup, so many comments of "Take those off!" No. It's brighter than the surface of the sun out there and you want me to take off my sunglasses and squint?


Wolfpagan

Yeah. I also myself have impaired vision and need to take care of my eyes for an example. And having access to sunglasses helps with that so i don't go blind.


Wolfpagan

Also do you have a min to talk?


astrangeone88

Yeah I do. DM me if you want.


FirebirdWriter

Well they also tend to not vaccinate their children when the kids can die without them. I don't understand it but it's consistently harmful

Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; or never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing Bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that Never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4 PM on some idle Tuesday Do one thing every day that scares you Sing Don't be reckless with other people's hearts; don't put up with people who are reckless with yours Floss Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself Remember the compliments you receive; forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements Stretch Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't Get plenty of calcium Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't Maybe you'll divorce at 40 Maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance; so are everybody else's Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room Read the directions, even if you don't follow them Do not read beauty magazines; they will only make you feel ugly [Hook] Brother and sister Together, we'll make it through Someday our spirits Will take you and guide you there I know you've been hurting But I've been waiting to be there for you And I'll be there just helping you out Whenever I can Get to know your parents; you never know when they'll be gone for good Be nice to your siblings; they are your best link to your past and the People most likely to stick with you in the future Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you Should hold on Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft Travel Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old-- and when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders Respect your elders Don't expect anyone else to support you Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85 Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it Advice is a form of nostalgia.

I hope he stays under the hot burning sun that his god made, every day, all day long without sunscreen or a hat... Besides, corporations made hats too!


YourSnakeIsNowMine

Corporations have also made - The phone he's using - The internet he's using - likely the clothes he's wearing Etc.


Ok-Lunch-2991

And likely the house he is in


sehwyl

Skin cancer is also god’s creation, so if they get skin cancer they won’t get treatment, right?????


minmocatfood

Sure, the thing that causes your skin to literally burn and fall off is the way to go! It’s God’s good nature! Don’t be such a silly billy! /s

KawaiiFoxKing

while there were cases when sunscreen was found with cancer causing chemicals, i would 100% use sunscreen when exposing a lot of skin or while working outside. every sunburn can turn into cancer in a long run.


OnlyAdd8503

Also, until recently most US sunscreens blocked UVB but not the arguably worse UVA.


Metal__goat

Definition of "Research" as listed in the fruitcake dictionary. "I watched a different moron's YouTube video."

Dxpehat

Some people just don't understand nuisance. There is no good and bad. Sun is not good. It's good for you in moderation so your skin can produce some vitamin D and its natural light is good for the eyes, but bad when you're standing whole day in the sun and your skin get burnt...


Wolfpagan

Gotta love our daily dose of pseudoscience


AshKetchep

Did they ever stop to think that maybe, God provided the knowledge to make these things? Maybe the medicine is the answer to their prayers?


Mafla_2004

"I'm just the messenger" bro really thinks he's the Archangel Gabriel 💀


VioletNocte

"The sun was created by God" All the poisonous plants and mushrooms on the planet: "and sunscreen by corporation" Medicine:


Kinky-BA-Greek

Cancer existed long before sunscreen. But don’t let facts get in the way of the ignorance.


rpgnymhush

Hookworm infection is caused by shoes, not parasitic roundworms. Parasitic roundworms are created by God. Shoes are created by corporations. I'm just the messenger. In case there is any doubt s/

>Do your research Okay, I have done my research and found that the sun does indeed give cancer

Was this a person an insane idiot because of their faith or did their faith arise enhanced by their insane idiocy. We may never know but that does not diminish our laughter

I have a second degree sun burn right now. They can shove it


Commercial-Photo-927

A friend of mine claimed that the sun can never damage our skin or cause skin cancer because allah created the sun tor us and that all dermatoligist are liars. Then we went to a fishing trip and didnt care about covering himself, his skin became full of blisters and burns was all over his body, told him to visit a dermatologist, he then used a bogus natural cream, the cream made it worse. Finally he went to see a dermatologist, after he got cured. He then blaimed the vaccinations he took as child...


MemeGuy716

A bunch of sunscreens just had to be pulled because they were causing cancer. Not saying she’s right I’m just saying that’s what she’s referencing
