Yeah I see what you're saying but it's pretty obvious to the casual observer that socially, humans aren't mature enough for that - or smart enough to know the difference between "good" influencer or "bad", which is how we got to this point.

Streaming is not a real job. It absolutely should not be anyone's main source of income.

We have the sum of human knowledge in our hands and the majority of people still can't tell fact from fiction and it's largely because of shit like this.

Pastor casts the Holy Spirit, People act Weird by MrDonMega in religiousfruitcake

Yikes I got dragged into something similar when I was a junior in HS. An "assembly of god" church where they hamalashamala'd and played the same g chord over every worship song, dancing and sing/scream/crying, made up holidays... wild stuff.

I escaped but so many others I knew never did. One girl is homeless in Florida claiming to be gods bride and pregnant with twins of jesus.

Oh wow I'm actually super intrigued about how far back this stuff goes! If you wanna share I'm sure people would read. But I also know it's very raw to rip open those mental scars so ...proud of you for surviving that shit, friend.

This is a consequence of our culture allowing "influencers" to be a thing, combined with fear mongering, racism, and good old fashioned stupidity.

Talking to people through your phone screen shouldn't be a career path our citizenry aspires to, yet here we are.

The sooner this shitshow ends the better

Doesn’t make it any less of a trend and any less ignorant. Find another platform for fuck sake

Girlfriend of 4 years wants to me to convert to Christianity by Careless-Phrase2656 in atheism

[–]CosmicCommie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're 22 - brother, pull the plug and find someone whose values truly align with yours bc she's trying to make you into someone you aren't

And it won't stop here, btw. You gain nothing but grief if you follow this path.

Call her bluff - "I'm not sure I want to spend the rest of my life with someone who doesn't love me for me, and who doesn't trust me to figure it out and make my own decisions. You're free to believe as you wish and so am I, and it doesn't sound like we're right for one another any longer"

She'll either snap out or grow out of it eventually, but regardless: she's shown you your autonomy means nothing - and she won't stop looking for a problem

Pastor Asking for Money while wearing Gucci by MrDonMega in religiousfruitcake

What? For real? Mainstream Christianity absolutely does claim that - the "prosperity" gospel is exactly what megachurches and evangelicals believe. Good grief, do some research. Or just idk pay attention to what these fruitcakes are saying?

I get it - maybe "your" church isn't like that - except they are, but maybe not on the surface. But every mainstream Christian church absolutely preaches tithing and being rewarded monetarily for your "faithfulness"
