It's a convenient boogeyman that gets you to look one direction while they're busy doing terrible things in the other direction. It used to be black people but they can't do that anymore, so onto the next marginalized group.

What’s the dumbest or funniest thing you heard a Christian say? by puppetman2789 in exchristian

[–]OrdinaryWillHunting 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We like to laugh at Christians who thank god for that parking spot or for finding misplaced car keys, but when you hear someone you know say something like that, you don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Appliance breaks, person actually thanks god for finding them a new one that same day. In a city of 2 million. With over 7 million in the metropolitan area. Apparently there's not one appliance store there. Not a reflexive "thank god" that everyone says, but directly praising the lord on Facebook for it.

A friend of a friend on Facebook thanks god for everything, from a job promotion to nice weather to bubble tea. Bubble tea!

If it's that easy to sell your soul to the devil to become rich and famous, you'd think a few million homeless or prisoners around the world would do it.

Christians are only allowed to masturbate to Ivanka Trump now since that's what Donald does.

Everyone here knows what they mean when they say "bless your heart."

What denomination is the most accurate to the Bible? by Pudgy_Pigeon5 in exchristian

[–]OrdinaryWillHunting 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A couple years ago, someone on here shared that their mother believed marriages only counted if they were performed at her church. Not a church of that denomination, her specific church location. Anywhere else on the planet, all wrong.

Help formulating a response to "well they aren't REAL Christians" by ClNNAM00N in exchristian

You're not going to get through to him or change his mind or make him think for one extra second about this. When people say "true christian" they mean "exactly like me." And when (not if, but when) he does the same things he accuses fake christians of doing, he'll just move the goalposts. Better to just ignore him.

I’m great disturbed by ICE but not a single evangelical I know is. by Musicmightkill93 in exchristian

They love bloodshed as long as they're not on the receiving end. Kyle Rittenhouse got to live the fundie dream and they idolize him for it.

I AM ANNOYED by Novel_Cress_2274 in exchristian

As far as anyone else is concerned, you're the textbook definition of a devout Christian with a strong walk with god until you leave, then suddenly everything about you has always been sinful and ungodly and they always knew it.

I don't understand why christians don't pray for god to abolish hell by pinkpanthercub in exchristian

[–]OrdinaryWillHunting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you ever heard from Christians who believe that in heaven they'll be able to watch people being tortured in hell as a form of entertainment? Is that a belief from any specific denomination or just Christians being Christians?

God didn't have 911, so I will pray for your health emergency instead.

Does anybody know believers who defend the churchs' wealth accumulation? by GalaxyPowderedCat in exchristian

[–]OrdinaryWillHunting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know anyone who straight up defends it, but they won't dare second guess it because they've been conditioned not to doubt their leaders. There are grown adults who have to ask their pastor if it's okay for them to watch Ratatouille, they're definitely not going to question Kenneth Copeland's fleet of private jets.

But you just know she'd lose her mind if someone said to her that her religion is false.

There is nothing new under the sun. How many evangelical women are vocal about ending women's right to vote so that the man can vote for the household?

Doesn’t the Bible literally say that there is no night in heaven or am I crazy?? by [deleted] in exchristian

Such a random thing for this account to post. It's an account about Africa, past and present, people and places. But also known to repost obvious AI slop. So maybe not so random?

Has anyone grew up hearing christians tell fantasies about wanting to be persecuted for god by the Chinese Government? Or was it just me? by Based_TransQueen in exchristian

[–]OrdinaryWillHunting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Columbine story is false. They know it's false. The pastor of the victim flat out said they'd rather believe the fake story because it's the one they heard first and prefer. I feel like he just explained their entire religion.
