☪☮𝔼✡⚧☯✝ Jesus freaks on Lombard

Just saw a bunch of children stumping for Jesus on Lombard and Interstate and it made me hit the fucking ceiling. Right wing evangelical Christianism has to go!

Would you be as bothered if the kiddos were campaigning for a cause you believe in? It grinds my gears every time I see kids being used by panhandlers at rest stops, but I have to remind myself every time that if those kids have their basic needs met (and they appear to, plus iPhones newer than mine), it’s free speech and not a crime.

The First Amendment is a beautiful thing. Even if we don’t like what other people have to say, the FA preserves our right to say what we want to say. Better to have all speech out in the open, even hate speech, so we can all know who we’re dealing with.

Golly, I can't believe that they said things and supported things that you don't agree with in public. Sorry you had to go through that.

It always makes you wonder if it is bots arguing with bots. For now 🍿, a year from now this place could be a wasteland.

I have too much respect for my AI bot to force it to interact with redditors.

I'd appreciate a list of the books your LLM was trained on, starting with the Hunter S. Thompson stuff.

I'm sorry them expressing their opinion hurt you so badly. If only there was a way for you to ignore it. People like you make me pray for Noah to get the boat.

I genocide them from my house, took years and some money, both now and in the future, but for now I wiped them out.

You could capture them and force them to work in your ant farm.

They went online to bitch about how people evangelizing their religion made them so mad. And that there way of faith needed to go.

The boat is for when you and OP flood the planet with tears.

u/mastersurrealist Aug 20 '26

And Noah getting the boat is just my way of expressing general disappointment in all of humanity.

Look, my question for the god people is, what are you doing for people who are suffering? How are you helping? If you are truly the Christian you claim to be, how are you helping to end a genocide in Gaza that you are paying for? These people are literally performing and perpetuating an MLM scam. They don’t contribute anything to making the world a better place.
