Chill man! It is humor. It is not designed to poke fun at people! Nearly all humor makes fun of things and none of it is meant to attavk or belittle. Don't be so thin skinned.
What you stated is NOT FUNNY, humour or not.

Well many many preachers got loads of laughter. But I apologize to you as you find it not funny. Now that I know your sensitivites on this, I will avoid it.

I am gone till Tuesday and will answer again then.

from the book of Enoch; ( not part of canon )

"And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways."

They also taught reading and writing, which is not a sin in itself, though it can be misused for sinful purposes (spreading lies and falsehoods, for example.) I think it's the same for cosmetics. There are no commandments that I'm aware of that prohibit cosmetics. But cosmetics could be misused inappropriately if used for things like seduction and manipulation.

She/he/it.

Say it three times fast. Loudly.

:Broadly::tiphat:

From what is understood, even clown fish have male and female parts. Yahavah, also is masculine, and feminine. He created man and woman in his own image.
“Male and female He created them” is a phrase found in Genesis 1:27, which states, “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” It appears within the broader creation account describing humanity’s origin.

While some suggest those fish might be abomination, and human beings that are gay/transgender that have some problem or have made their choice are an abomination.

It's not the outward appearance that Yahavah judges. It's the heart.

1 Samuel 16:7 But Yahavah said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but Yahavah looketh on the heart.

Cosmetics is not used only for that. Many women use it just to beautify themselves.

How many Lies do you read in one day in the news?

I can think of a few newspapers. And how many lies are spread on social media posts? In terms of the Watchers, they could have used writing to spread their secret knowledge. So, yes, even writing can be misused for bad.
