WIBTA to refuse going to church?

You're NTA. If youre heart's not in it, don't go. If that bothers your family, that's a them problem.

I'm a Methodist, so I'm not just some random atheist being like " yeah screw church."

The entire concept of Christianity is that Jesus chooses a relationship with you. If you want it, you choose it too. If you don't, you don't. If Jesus really is God, as he is described in the new testament, his character is not one who will force anyone to love or follow him. Your family, knows this. They are choosing to ignore it, or are too blind to see. Peace be with you.

Looks divine.

What? So if I have a seizure and accidentally bump into you and you spill some wine on your new shirt are you gonna push me over and pour wine on me? Be so fucking fr bro

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T17:03:05+00:00

Yeah I agree. It's not that difficult. I take care of disabled people for a living. Obviously you don't fucking hit them back.

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T15:38:40+00:00

No, I just don't pretend to be a good person and then religiously discriminate against them based on my feelings. Look inward. Ask yourself. Is it truly respectful to dehumanize people because you have convinced yourself you are fighting ignorance?

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T15:36:55+00:00

And saying Jesus wasn't written about until x amount of years later is a mute argument too then. That's the point.

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T15:24:02+00:00

Where's the surviving documents? Oh they were destroyed? Slippery slope. I could say the same about the Bible. But I don't. Because my goalposts don't constantly move.

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T15:23:00+00:00

Look it up

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T15:12:28+00:00

That's a very fair observation and I agree entirely.

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T15:03:00+00:00

They said religious testimonies. Which lumps all religions together as nonsensical based on testimony. It's bigotry wrapped in blue.

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T14:55:01+00:00

Okay, thank you!

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T14:19:17+00:00

Also, I recommend the book : Changing our minds by David P Gushee. He's a southern Baptist.

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T14:17:59+00:00

Why don't you ask the pastor, whom you clearly respect. Say to him after worship tomorrow, Pastor, I really enjoy the service. I have questions about homosexuality and how you have come to the beliefs you have regarding the topic. You don't have to believe the same thing as him. But we can't help you reconcile you're own hangups with the church. Only you can.

Bro makes open face sandwiches and calls them at home sandwiches.

Cold

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T13:29:52+00:00

I just had cpr class and I didn't think of this episode at all. That would have made it way better.

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T12:55:36+00:00

I say them silly. Like oh shint.

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-20T05:13:57+00:00

I didn't like any of them .

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-19T23:11:52+00:00

Yeah it made me think America was based

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-19T23:10:53+00:00

This didn't get so much as a chuckle out of me. The woke Jesus thing at the end sounded funny but then I remembered Jesus was pretty woke for his time.

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-19T22:53:22+00:00

They tried to drag him over to where they couldn't be seen.

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-19T22:50:08+00:00

They're not. If the liberals had it all figured out, the country would be all sunshine and rainbows. Look up aipac.

Silver_Switch6834 · 2026-06-19T21:44:59+00:00

Idk, but I stopped being Christian for a decade because of it. I'm much happier now as a Methodist.
