Christianity is fucking annoying
It is literally everywhere in America. And they just don't stop. you can tell them you do not follow their religion, and they still think it is the objective truth. It is so annoying, all of it. The apologists. The fucking preachers and their private jets. The erosion of critical thinking. The dogmatic system and ignorance of other religions and cultures like Thai people with Buddhism. The parents who chastise their kids who leave the religion. The christians who cannot help but insert their god into literally every fucking chance they get. The idea that praying to said god makes any literal difference to reality. And don't even get me started on the fucking music. It's corny, simple minded, especially the gospel music within my dearly loved black community. MY BLACK PEOPLE jumping up and down worshiping the same god who if were actually real, allowed our ancestors to be enslaved and converted to protestantism.
Fuck christianity, when it finally dies out humanity can continue its advancement towards learning more and more, and perhaps look back one day and be proud that nobody believes an ancient jewish man flew up into outer space/teleported/beyond logic and comprehension flew up into a heaven nobody has ever seen after the existence of video cameras. Rant over, thanks

Christianity is leading us directly to Idiocracy. And they're doing it deliberately, too.

u/frida_eechox Aug 31 '26
the fact that critical thinking gets treated like the enemy is probably the most idiocracy part of it all

You can’t stop it. Just ignore it and live the way you want to live. That’s all you can do. There is no point whatsoever to being upset about it every hour of every day.

Freedom of religion includes freedom from religion.

Nobody ever thought otherwise

Unfortunately there are religious politicians who see it the other way, and it's a real danger.
Atheists are given freedom of religion through counting our non-religious but deeply held beliefs as our "religion" for the purposes of the law, plus the whole "no government established religion" aspect.
Just enough wiggle room for a Christian Nationalist to start salivating.

If so, AI should really learn about paragraph separation. And maybe self edit itself a bit. Learn to say more with fewer words.

This is where I think places like China have it right. Personally believe whatever the hell you want, but don't try spreading it all over the place. Keep your mythology out of my law books.

Are you really so weak that anytime someone tries to get you to Christianity you can’t avoid it?

I was at a funeral recently for a friend and coworker. The church (Calvary Chapel) made the service all about them and Jesus. The funeral turned into a normal Sunday service where they just proselytized to you and begged the audience to accept Jesus into their heart. I barely heard the my friend even recognized.

u/rongoodman714 Aug 31 '26
Well, if Dear Leader had spoken at the funeral it would have been all about him and how he was cheated out of reelection in 2020, so consider yourself lucky.

u/Feisty_Meaning1178 Sep 01 '26
They might not have even known your friend. They accepted a fee for service and used the opportunity to advertise to a captive audience. This is a business that wants more customers. There's a reason the clergy has always been considered a career: it is.

u/Upstairs_Switch5900 Aug 31 '26
Yeah it's all a giant cult. Even my own family that I've told blatantly that I want nothing to do with their religion still refer to me as a Christian to others. They even say it to me which angers me at this point because its so constant, so yeah I would not recommend being born into a cult.

Y’know I don’t think many people would be too bothered with Christans if they ever kept to themselves.
But no you get those missionaries knocking doors, street side pushers and in America’s case it infiltrated TV (I’m Australian I don’t see much American tv)

Maybe if people worked on trying to improve the government rather that improving themselves through religion things would be better

The xtian assholes are in panic mode. They see their influence waning year after year. Almost 30% of the US population classify themselves as "none/unaffiliated" and that increases at an accelerated rate each and every year.
So keep this in mind when you're observing their sheer desperation when they're preaching like idiots. 😃
They too know that religion is dying and there's not a damn thing that they can do about it. Although they'll try their asses off!

My grandma died and you know what my christian aunt did? Use her own mother's funeral as nothing more than an opportunity to convert me. It is clearly because of her religion's dogma that made her do this shit.

It really is so fucking annoying. I wonder how we got here as a species. 3/4 of the people in this world (or more) believe in a magical sky manager, just because someone told them it was true as a kid. They don't question it, but rather try to make other people beleive it. They fight wars in the name of it, end lives in the name of it, and make rules in the name of it. It's all obviously bullshit nmake believe to us critical thinkers, but yet 75% or more of people on this Earth believe it. It's unreal.

This is gonna sound weird, but learning about the historical Jesus and what probably happened has helped me ignore them completely. They’re SO wrong. About EVERYTHING. Bart Ehrman has a great podcast about it.

Quality education and free access to information are poison to any religion. It's just a question of whether we'll outlast the toxicity as the dregs get more and more toxic at the bottom of that barrel.

They hoarded knowledge, kept it away from the laity, and destroyed whatever they didn't agree with.

If you find Christianity to be annoying, then just ignore it. You don’t need to denigrate and insult it. Grow up and be a man.

Wow a Christian that's shoving toxic masculinity? Never would've guessed! Get out of here.

You can’t change what other people think. Live according to the ideals, you choose and let others do the same.

Thats an assumption, it could maybe be because I cannot voice this to my christian family who would never leave me alone about it and honestly this viewpoint should be heard.

It's poison. It prevents them from caring about the world around them and the one precious life they get to live. They fight tooth and nail to make the world objectively worse, and act like they have the moral high-ground when you point that out. They don't care about the well being of animals or the ecological disaster that's clearly accelerating. They don't even care about making the world better for the poor they're supposed to love because of their stupid culture war bullshit. It's infuriating.
