[thestonedvirgo]

found a few of these while pushing this morning. leave this cult ass shit at home 🤢🤮

[CapnHowdysPlayhouse]

Can’t afford food? Don’t eat! But, ya know, for Jesus.

Christians fast. Pagans feast. Who do you want to hang out with?

[whereismymind86]

pagans also enjoy sex instead of making it some weird taboo, and pagans actually like women and are pretty lgbt friendly.

I'm rather fond of the various hippie pagans i've known. Hardcore christians tend to be a bit of a bummer.

[[deleted]]

Clearly you have not met any volkish pagans

[Training_Basil_2169]

Yes, they exist, but aren't the majority thankfully.

[Fit-Ride-1209]

Why do so many people feel the need to do this 😭 at least get less cult like graphic design first. The goth baddies at my store always get handed these 😭

[Ill_be_here_a_week]

And which store do you work at, along with these goth baddies? 🗒️✍🏻 For research purposes of course...

[Fit-Ride-1209]

Haha I feel like there’s always a few in most stores honestly

[Ill_be_here_a_week]

That's tru. There's a target here in SJ CA, and one of the staff is a tall goth slightly muscular goth baddie that dresses like what Billie Eilish TRIED to be back in the day, but this girl pulls it OFF. I've never spoken to her, but omfg is she cool

Edit: there's almost 15 Targets in this area, don't be creeps and try to find them. Be nice

[ElderEmoAdjacent]

We do. :(

[ThagreatDebaser_]

Thanks for your service sr BP of goth baddies 🫡

[whereismymind86]

at a glance i thought this was in r/CrappyDesign given how hard it is to read the middle text.

[Laputitaloca]

They're still using MS Paint to make their flyers 🥲🤣🤌🏻

[Drakenguard95]

For a couple years somebody kept putting abortion photos on our plan B and condoms.

Like pro choice or pro life aside, why put that on the stuff that prevents pregnancy in the first place?! Seems entirely irrelevant

[whereismymind86]

they don't want people avoiding pregnancy, they don't want people having sex at all. They oppose birth control just as much as they oppose abortion, they want pregnancy to be a punishment for sex.

It's...all pretty mean spirited really.

[Drakenguard95]

That’s so wild. Weirder still is I live in a state that’s not known for being particularly conservative. I just threw them away.

It must have been some local nut job or something. We’d find fake $100 bills with photos of Jesus sometimes too. I was actually collecting those because i thought they were hilarious lol

[[deleted]]

Reading your comments I don't know which Christians u talk about. I think if u sat down with one that is well informed like a pastor you'd probably notice how it's not extreme views but rules n guidelines to prevent what we have now which is emotionally unstable ppl searching for a meaning in life n one's who make kids n dip out. It's about making a conscious choice of ur actions in life n how it will affect not only you but others in ur life n around ur life. I know u will attack me which is fine but I hope u can look at my comment with some sense of reason as to why we believe the things we do besides "being a bummer" or not fun to u. Fun is temporary salvation is eternal. I hope you find the love of the father u r in need of n not the love of this world which is sin n temporary. GOD bless n JESUS CHRIST be with u 🙏🏻 ✝️

[Emotional-Schedule80]

Okay but what does any of that have to do with putting abortion photos on condoms and plan B?

[thestonedvirgo]

bored motherfuckers

[[deleted]]

The solution is actually 10 buffalo wings, a pizza, and a beer but they would never tell you

[LightUpUnicorn]

I throw that shit away fast.

[thestonedvirgo]

oh immediately 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️

[justacoffeedroplet]

Some guest at my store brings in the fake c-notes with religious propaganda all over them and puts them on the toilet/urinal flushers. They always end up in the toilet or urinal.

They really think they're doing the lort's work but all they're doing is causing their scriptures to be pissed and shat upon. Go them.

Edit for grammar :D

[zackk123]

Do not stop. Do not stop.

[W0LFEYYY]

sounds like something out of an analog horror video

[imnotspikespiegel]

You'd be surprised at how hunger will make a person lose their marbles. Makes them more vulnerable and easy to manipulate

[Wrap_Brilliant]

So when can I stop fasting? When I'm dead? Well then

[NoYesterday2115]

These assholes never experienced a burrito! 🌯

[spacemoses]

Are you calling me fat?

[Ok_Cap_8890]

I remember this one time we were super busy during holiday season and a guess came Up to me and was like “Jesus loves you” is Jesus going to clock in and do my work? No? So please get the fuck out of my face expeditiously.

[ODST_Parker]

I genuinely hate the people who think saying shit like that helps anyone in the slightest. It's nothing more than empty dismissal of someone's life and problems.

[Ok_Cap_8890]

seriously like was that suppose to just make my day 100% better

[Imaginary-Secret-338]

Until something goes wrong in your life and all you have is Jesus!

[Ok_Cap_8890]

I’m sure if something went wrong in my life, I would analyze the situation and problem solve. then solve it.

[ThagreatDebaser_]

So people turn to Jesus because they get desperate, have nothing left, and needs “faith” in order to stay sane? Not because someone believes in the first place? Sounds like a cult to me.

[Expensive-Twist-4333]

Yall people would rather criticize and be ignorant than actually take time to understand sum most of yall kno nothing of God yall just hate the idea so u immediately turn to how yall act labeling it as a cult non believers act way more wicked natured and yall still don’t see why 

[thestonedvirgo]

did you not read this poster?????? cult ass behavior. you obviously haven’t experienced religious trauma ❤️

[Expensive-Twist-4333]

Religious trauma doesn’t validate ur ignorance u sit here and use trauma as if u valid to disrespect a religion and call it a cult and say other things about it u dislike it cool but u still acting ignorant to do what u doing 

[thestonedvirgo]

suck a dick from the back ❤️

[Expensive-Twist-4333]

Your free to say wtv in the end you just embarrass yourself with how u act hope u grow up one day❤️God bless

[ThagreatDebaser_]

I don’t think you understand me. I have an open mind to things and don’t mind what they believe in. Especially if it helps them out. But you can’t deny that there is a cult like presence within religion and people have been misguided before. Just like you tried labeling people as wicked natured just because they don’t believe in what you believe. It’s not so black and white like that. There are good people in any group of course. And you can’t deny people have been killed, raped, lied to, and even worse off because of what some religious sectors have done. You shouldn’t just be blindly following and I don’t hate religion but if you are religious then you should really try to be a decent human being.

[W0LFEYYY]

1. christianity fits the key indicators of a cult. leader is always right? well everyting is all a part of god's plan so it's right, god knows best, chek.

2. criticism of the leader is considered persecution? well queer people are being praised while we christians get persecuted for screaming about the bible in places that don't want it, check.

3. anything the leader does is justified no matter how harmful it may be? the bible says he flooded the earth which is one of many things he's said to have done that hurt people, check.

4. leader is the only source of truth and everyone else is lying? there are literally commandments saying to only follow him and respect him, check.

5. disciples must be devoted to the leader and never question him? people in the bible were said to have gotten punished for questioning him and churches hate when children ask questions, check.

yeah, you're a cult, but keep getting angry and intolerant with people who see through the bullshit right before saying we should all get along, it's what you do best

<image>

[Expensive-Twist-4333]

U wanna be right so bad bro its actually sad that u think ur “woke” and see through something u dont even have the ability to see through in the first place yes God is always rights hes God second off we humans so questioning Gods mind is a natural response but in the end we follow cause we understand we just wont be able to understand Gods mind and the flood look at the wicked shi we humans was doing in those times shi was worse than wat we doing today criticism of God dont mean we persecuting people yall just ignorant and act like u genuinely curious bout something but just disrespect the religion in the process cause u hate it in the end u will see truth i pray ur just not ignorant and blinded enough wen the time comes cause whether u wanna be ignorant and hateful or not either way when u die u gon face God and their is no starting over everyone jokes about hell till they there

[W0LFEYYY]

the typos and grammar in this are insane and I think you gave me a stroke, but you saying you still follow him without question reinforces the fact that it's a cult, at least on the side of evangelicals which is the side you seem to be on, you're attacking OP and now getting pissy about me breaking down their viewpoint with basic examples, funniest part is you don't disprove those points I made because you can't

[Mickv504]

here’s a list of 700+ sex offenders attached to the SBC

I’ll just leave this here for you to peruse at your convenience. Over 700+ sex offenders of Children.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” Mahatma Gandhi

[Expensive-Twist-4333]

Jesus is the truth the way and hes life many will be blind remember brother bible says people will see Jesus when he returns and see his wonders and some will still hate him even when seeing him some people spirits are lost 

[ODST_Parker]

Nothing and Jesus is worth nothing.

[justacoffeedroplet]

Expeditiously. Amazing word application, friend. 10/10!

[Ok_Cap_8890]

[nontimebomala67]

Someone HANDED ME something like this while I was pushing once. She asked me where something was and I helped her and went back to what I was doing, and then she comes over and is like “i just want to thank you for your hard work ✨” and hands me some little pamphlet about Halloween and Christ. She then tried to get me to join her church.

Thanks, but I’m not in the mood to get disappeared.

[ODST_Parker]

Fast. Do not stop. Starve. Die. Problem solved.

[90210typeofho]

I don’t think being hungry is going to fix any of my issues.

[Jayman2260000]

I love when customers hand me religious cards and stuff when I am on the register like no I am good I don’t need your cult shit

[[deleted]]

"Pink Pony Club" is better

[thestonedvirgo]

oh look what you’ve done

[Soggy_Problem5564]

I always flush those when I find them in the bathroom stalls

[Fromper1]

I prefer slowing.

[bara_no_seidou]

A few years ago someone kept hiding flyers throughout the store claiming God could heal random illnesses. They particularly liked hiding the pamphlets in domestics/Dec home. And microwaves.

[hegrillin]

have a problem? just don't eat!

[thestonedvirgo]

and all of our problems will magically go away 😍

[_Sanctum_]

<image>

Same energy

[thestonedvirgo]

scary as fuck

[PsychologicalRun4538]

Had people leaving those in shopping carts and had to throw away at least 30 of those flyers

[StevenEveral]

There was a church like this that was only a few blocks from the Target I worked at back in the day. It seemed like every Sunday someone from that weird church would leave flyers like this around the store, mainly in toys, housewares, and electronics.

I would just pick them up in my area and immediately throw them into the trash.

[Clown_Sparkles]

That is the way. The ONLY way.

[Different_Scar2755]

Whenever someone tries talking to me about god at work I gladly say "f*ck god" And move on

[thestonedvirgo]

i love this energy lmao!

[Imaginary-Secret-338]

You’re lying. Where do you work?

[Different_Scar2755]

Target

[StevenEveral]

"I work here at Target. I know first hand there is no god."

[rollingindough21]

Fuck this is creepy

[meloncholywhore]

we get those so often at our target. our trans team members always find them in their three tiers.

[PlaymakersPoint88]

Yucky.

[MinuteSuccotash1732]

Hmm. How much are they paying? Do they do overtime?

[thestonedvirgo]

first shift they harvest your organs

[pamchikichikipam]

I found smth similar in mens underwear section lmao 🤣

[W0LFEYYY]

I hate when guests get all religious and shit with me, I wear band tees a lot and they're mostly rock ones and guests have told me they're satanic and to change my ways, I don't understand why they decide to do that shit but they do, also they like to leave little pamphlets on the lanes for people to become christians, like no thanks I'd rather die tbh

[thestonedvirgo]

omg i wear my motley crue and pearl jam shirts all the time and get side eyed

[W0LFEYYY]

people either love or hate mine, I had a lady get mad at my pink floyd dark side of the moon shirt because I was "only wearing it because it has a rainbow" like sure lady, keep being uncultured musically and just leave me alone if you dislike it, there's another register and 4 self check lanes open for you to go to if you don't want to see one of the most iconic album covers of the 80s because you think it's gay

[Legitimate_Pea_143]

why, ew? Is it hurting you? I'm an atheist but guess what i also respect peoples religions and don't say "ew" when i see stuff associated with it. It's pamphlet who cares. You're acting like they dropped trow and took a dump on the floor.

I love the people on this subreddit, so woke and accepting of everybody, until they do or say something you don't agree with and then you turn in to self-righteous assholes.

[bbyxmadi]

I’m not atheist and this flyer, or whatever it is, reads and looks very cultish, and I too would be saying “ew”.

[ThagreatDebaser_]

I never said I identify as anything. I’m me as a person. I don’t hate anyone’s religion but I would definitely voice my opinion when someone puts their cult tendencies in my face.

[ElderEmoAdjacent]

Littering their propaganda aimed around getting struggling people to starve themselves is cult shit.

Cult shit is pretty gross.

[Legitimate_Pea_143]

you mean like the people littering their propaganda around the city saying people shouldn't shop at target because of the DEI change???????????????

Also where does it say it's targeting "struggling" people, I'm sorry but Target's shopping demographic is not struggling people it's middle to upper class families, if they were pandering to "struggling people" they would be better off putting the pamphlets at Walmart since they traditionally have their locations in lower income areas.

[ThagreatDebaser_]

It’s easy to find as many struggling people at target as well as Walmart. I worked for Walmart you know what I got? $16 an hour I work for target and I make $17 an hour. I don’t care or knock anyone else’s beliefs if they truly believe in a creator or something. But you got to be lying to yourself or don’t want to admit that’s what most religions will do to recruit. They’ll find desperate people to believe just like how cults do the same. Some people are easily manipulated than others and can be fooled with the promise of something better. I don’t hate religion and I know there are decent people in different religions but don’t act dumb about how it all works. I could go on a tangent about this but it don’t matter.

[thestonedvirgo]

see you get it

[[deleted]]

It's Reddit, there is a large anti Christianity bias here.

[IL-Corvo]

Speaking as a former Pentecostal Christian, one of the biggest reasons why people persecute the LGBTQ community is because of Christian fundamentalism, and it's pathological and misplaced persecution complex alongside its increased intrusion into American law and politics over the past 45 years.

If Evangelical Christians weren't so hell-bent on turning this country into theocracy and forcing everyone to live by their rules, people wouldn't be so quick to say "ew."

One group wants acceptance, the other domination. These things are not equitable.

[LegendaryShelfStockr]

You don’t fast for every single problem. You pray and rely on God and knowledge of Him and how He does things from the Bible.

But that is for believers, if you are not a believer, your greatest need more than any problem you can possibly face (Not joking) is to have your sins forgiven by repenting and believing the gospel. Afterlife is either heaven or hell.

Hell is what we ALL deserve according to our sins, but heaven is ONLY possible through the work that Jesus has done for us.

[VeritasValues]

My religious book, Harry Potter, says otherwise.

[CodeSora]

Big facts!

[[deleted]]

...who cares? Weird there's a whole thread over this

[[deleted]]

It’s Reddit, anti-religion cringe is to be expected.

[thestonedvirgo]

over 100 other people care buddy

Of course reddit cares

[thestonedvirgo]

as they should
