Is anybody else here an anti-pyromania fire enthusiast?

[Preacher ✝]

I just don’t give a shit about the source of observable fires, it’s not a choice, my brain just doesn’t register an inferno being malicious or accidental as a reason not to watch it.

But I have always to some extent despised the wider community of pyromaniacs who make their love of fire their identity, shove it into every facet of their life, & all the consumerism with cheap flames printed on it.

I like other stuff in life like listening to podcasts on my commute to work, going to the gym, going to the bar, enjoying offensive comedy, & movies unrelated to fire.

But more often than not, I’m just grossed out by the excessive obsession.
Including arson.

I don’t really care if others think my interest is cool or not, & I don’t make it my personality to hate firefighters unless one of them is trying to actively extinguish a fire for no cause.

But it’s often an isolating feeling being somebody like me who just can’t stand the obnoxious majority of pyromaniacs with fancy zippos, & just wants to watch stuff burn as a regular guy who can casually appreciate a fire without all the fuckin’ politics.

Anybody else feel the same at all?

this is satire

I like fire, but I don't feel a compulsion to set things on fire. I just really like the warmth of the fire, it makes me feel a warmth I never got as a kid since my parents didn't hug me.

Actually maybe I should start a fire...

I see what you did there, thanks for making me snicker. That Fag's "Look at me, i'm one of the good one's" thread is insufferable.

Cheers for being funny.

He's a pickme who hasn't realized yet that people who dislike us still think he's a degenerate just for existing.

Maybe the nazi death squads would put him behind me in line, but he'd still be in the line!

This might surprise you but its not your existence that I find objectionable or even inherently degenerate.

I actually see most faggots more or less the same way I see gooners, whores, and other forms of sex obsessed people. They're all abusing sex which God blessed us with for the purposes of procreation and marital bonding.

We all have sexual desires, that's natural, but you should practice self discipline and gain control over them, rather than letting them control you. Certainly don't make them your whole personality. Did you know that it's not actually a sin to have homosexual desires? The sinful part is acting on them. In fact when it comes to sin the only difference between homosexual desires and heterosexual desires is that the latter has the potential to be okay to act on if its within the bonds of matrimony and open to the possibility of conception, while the former is never okay to act on.

In other words a guy who goes around picking up loose women to fuck and brags about it is far more degenerate and objectionable than a gay man who keeps his desires to himself and never acts on them.

I for one am quite a fan of pyromania. I made some Molotov cocktails a while back and threw them on some island with my bros and even set a dead seagull on fire. It was pretty fun and is one of my fonder memories in recent times.

I understand the Christian sin based perspective and while I don't agree with it, I do find it more palatable than people on the right who hate gays for the sake of hating gays.

If nothing else it's at least consistent and follows the basic rules and teachings of the religion. I have always considered it funny when a so called "Christian" would rant about the gays while ignoring their own sins like infidelity, acting as if other "sins" were worse than their own.

It's like they never heard of the Night of the Long Knives.

To expand on this; As Saint Thomas Aquinas described it in his writings, it is whether an act is in alignment with the natural order determines the level of sinfulness, and there can be multiple layers. A man and a woman having sexual contact is natural, while a man and a man is not (and no, this is not the modern definition of "nature = all that green stuff and the critters running around in it", so don't go "hurr these animals sometimes practice the homosex so its natural"). So a man and a woman having casual sex outside of matrimony solely for the purpose of sexual gratification is less of a sin than a man and a man practicing sodomy, even if they are emotionally comitted to the other. For while the former is a natural act committed in a sinful manner, the other is an unnatural act and thus a sin, regardless of their intent.

similarly, a man and a woman having sex outside of marriage but with the intent of creating new life is less sinful than a married couple having sex while using contraceptives. The fomer is acting in the most natural way possible, the creation of new life, while the latter is subverting the natural order by taking measures to prevent said creation.

I'm not a pyromaniac, a leprechaun lives here that tells me to burn things.

Be honest lads who isnt aroused by seeing buildings on fire

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

I love cozy fireplaces

 

[Javier]

For some reason I find lit up torches and matches incredibly captivating. Decorative or scented candles too.
Not so much anything bigger. As a kid I used to be at family gatherings where we would heat up our sausages at a campfire, but I don't exactly miss that part all that much. Burning building sounds like something that would petrify me on the spot if I saw it. Burning aftermaths make me sad.

We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn.
