There are few things I hate more than "Jewish ally" anti-theists and atheists that spout complete bullshit about Judaism and our supposed beliefs as though they know better than we do what we believe. When we talk about cultural xtianity, this is the kind of shit we're talking about.
"You might not believe in hell but most Jews do, my ex-xtian interpretation of your holy texts is correct despite thousands of years of information on the subject, here's a video telling you that you're wrong." Spent several posts calling non-religious people "freethinkers," and continuously dodged the question regarding the harm eliminating religion would do to so many cultures. Not to mention going from "I think the world is better without religion" to "you have an anti-xtian bias that I don't like" as though there's not a reason for that.
Ex-xtian atheists - you need to address and unlearn your xtian belief that your way is the only right way. That you are objectively correct and everyone else is just ignorant. That you know better than the religious minorities you are addressing. People like this want an excuse to talk down to religious minorities under the guise of polite language, and if you don't want to be associated with them, you have to put in the work to not be like this. I say this as an ex-Catholic, and a former anti-theist - do better.
If you are making objective assertions about someone else's religion that you have not studied and cannot answer basic questions about, you're not being critical of religion, you're being an atheist supremacist. If you pull a "gods are more harmful than helpful" like this person but cannot tell me the impact of Kali or Sàngó on their respective cultures, you are not being critical, you're ignorant and self-absorbed. If you have not studied religion, you do not know what you are talking about, and if you are only accepting xtian interpretations of other religions as true, even as a basis for hatred of religion, you're just a xtian with a new wallpaper.
If you are advocating for anti-theism, you are advocating for the cultural genocide of hundreds of different cultures around the world. If you are advocating for anti-theism, you are inherently anti-Jew. And if you are talking over Jews when they correct you on your blatant misunderstanding of our culture, only to call us *liars* when we counter your misconceptions, or call out your cherry-picked sources for why you know better than we do, you're not just an asshole, you're an Antisemite.
I took this conversation in good faith, hoping that the ignorance was born from misunderstanding instead of malice. I should not have been so kind. And if you're going to come onto this post and whine and cry about "not all atheists," or "cultural xtianity isn't real," save us both the time and block me. I'm done entertaining atheists that will not acknowledge that y'all don't know better than the religious minorities you are insulting by assuming we're all just blind sheep being lied to by some hierarchy that doesn't exist outside of certain religions. My partner is an atheist. I was for a long time, and I chose to return to religion on my own. I'm still an atheist, but I am also very religious. I'm the "smart Jew" that ex-xtians love to talk about; enlightened and no longer clinging to the supernatural. And I'm telling you that you're a fucking asshole and I associate more with the most spiritual Orthodox Jew than I ever would with someone who thinks atheism makes you superior.
safe place for Magnifico lovers, but not for the LGBTQ+ people. nice. 🤘🏻
i have given this person so much attention. so much support. i reblogged her, waited for her opinion, answers, everything. but i started to suspect something. with the friend of mine we did a thing - they asked anonymously is This Person LGBTQ+ friendly
on the second screenshot you clearly can see the answer. if you're friendly, you're not explaining yourself through religion, don't you?
so please, just be careful. respect - it's nice, but religion... sometimes makes good people so outstandingly... not safe.
About once a month these religious fanatics set up a microphone and speaker down the road and scream in tongues from about 5pm-10pm.
I cannot express how loud it is. I have no idea how this one speaker can do this. We’ve called the police on them before but they say it’s free speech. My dad has gone over and yelled at them.
This time, I got a big glass of water, walked over to them and threw it on the speaker, microphone, and the last little bit in the guy’s face. Btw, this didn’t break anything, trust me they kept going for hours after this.
I screamed, “my baby can’t sleep! Stop!” (I don’t have a baby lol). This girl who looked like 15ish and embarrassed to be there said she’d tell them to turn it down, and they eventually did.
As I walked away they yelled “el diablo! Lucifer!” One lady on a bike followed me home and told me the devil was going to get me and if I came back she’d beat my ass.I said “good, bitch! I hope he does! How Christian you’re being right now”.
This was last night and I couldn’t sleep thinking they’d come and break in or something lol. Karma? And if so, for who?
Religion is crap and if you defend it don't mess with me. Religion is a front. People use it to be good when you should just be good without it aren't good people... Religion is bad. It's literally just a means of control. Stop, keep it to yourself unless asked. Take that shit off license plates and money. Get rid of these giant churches. Keep that shit away from my damn food too! I don't want a stupid verse on my bag of food. Stop forcing it. Just...keep...it...to...yourself...
how dare you to insult Christianity and talk about things that you don't know saying that is not the religion of love when it for all people?
Know that if you continue to be an atheist you will burn in hell
How dare I speak the truth? Because of free speech I guess.
If you don't follow the religion you burn in hell... That's no free will Is "an offer you can't refuse"
I know that for many people affected by cognitive dissonance is difficult to understand how shitty religion, christianity in this case, really are but have you notice the scum?
In conclusion, you prove that christianity is a mental dictatorship and faith a mental illness.
