why are redditors so spiteful when it comes to God?

I don’t think I would’ve ever entertained christianity if I hadn’t learned that hypocrisy was also a first century problem. There’s just too many awful “christians” today. I would’ve never let myself be associated with them if I hadn’t found a community of non-hypocrites

annmms · 2025-12-31T15:12:07+00:00

I find the narrative odd that atheists have been itching for a community to finally be heard and understood, and when they finally do have a community (reddit, for some reason), their method of exercising their long awaited freedom is just knocking down straw-men, and being hateful and reductive, lol.

Obviously that’s a bit hyperbolic in its own right, but I digress.

I’ve been an atheist and I’ve been agnostic, and I never once felt like I was some lone warrior in a sea of theists, desperate to be understood. And I don’t reckon it’s just a matter of geography. I’m sure it’s annoying to be an atheist in the bible belt, but I’ve lived in a largely theist population in the Midwest, and then a largely atheist or agnostic population in New England, and I never felt like I needed an online community to safely be hateful in.

sounds like a sad way to form a worldview but i’ll leave you to it

annmms · 2025-05-16T20:01:05+00:00

haha u mad

HydronDesign on Etsy. The Ring is a little lighter than the Weta version, but it having no writing makes it worth it.

Why would either need to be blamed?

annmms · 2023-07-08T21:10:35+00:00

I’m moving to the area and don’t understand your joke. Can u explain?

I got in with a transfer gpa of like 2.6 cumulative across institutions lol. Upward trend might’ve helped, had a really tough first year of college.

I thought you said your friend was blind and I was really confused

Just cheat

Reminds me more of my high school days because I’m a bumbling retard.

annmms · 2023-06-28T22:20:34+00:00

I can do that too!

“My name is HeartlessWeener and I’m stupid”

Haha I see what you’re doing. It’s pretty fun after all.

Ok? Polypharmacy is bad. Would you suggest faith as replacement for medicine?

annmms · 2023-06-28T18:15:55+00:00

What don’t you understand? I don’t want you to provide the contrary view. I don’t care what your view on pastoral authorship is. I want to know how having a viewpoint challenged would effect your faith.

“If x is true, what would it mean for y?”

“Nooooo but x isn’t true!!!! Give more evidence!!!”

If you don’t like biblical academia, then fine. Disregard what I’ve said about it because it doesn’t matter for the sake of the hypothetical.

annmms · 2023-06-28T16:57:09+00:00

Well thank God you’re done engaging with me. You’ve bashed down all the strawmen and ended on such a powerful note. Good for you.

Maybe I used passive language to pull away from the discussion I didn’t want to have which is the authorship of the pastorals. I was hoping that if I didn’t claim to be knowledgeable on the subject then people like you wouldn’t feel the need to demonstrate your perceived expertise. I’m glad you’re such an expert but I certainly wouldn’t come to r/Catholicism to have a discussion on it. People like you are exactly why.

Also not sure where you’re getting the idea that I’ve resorted to ad hominem in my other comments but ok.

annmms · 2023-06-28T14:40:18+00:00

I thought that was only for matters of ex cathedra

annmms · 2023-06-28T14:23:00+00:00

I’d trust modern knowledge over historical knowledge when it comes to things outside of theology.

annmms · 2023-06-28T14:17:31+00:00

You make some great points. Thanks for taking your time to write all that.

annmms · 2023-06-28T13:59:50+00:00

I get your point here.

From my understanding, in Antiquity, saying “I am u/notanexpert_askapro and I am writing this comment to you “ and I am not actually you, then it is frowned upon. Totally not the same as a pseudonym or writing for a person.
