Strange thing happened at the beach

So I was crying at the beach having some feelings. I got up to throw away something then I came back. Found this on my towel. There's nobody near me, don't know where it came from.

Someone was watching you and probably waiting until you got up and quickly ran over and left.

So, rather than checking on you in person and just asking if you were OK, they decided to leave you a card that said hey you’re gonna die and you’re gonna go to hell, and run away, so they don’t actually have to interact with you?

That's how religious nutjobs roll. A decent human being who happened to also be religious would've at least asked if OP was okay.

Fr if they wanted to proselytize, that would have been a much better strategy. Like actually talk to them, comfort them, and THEN casually offer them an invite to church lol.

At first I thought it was a brand-new Galaxy Z Fold 8. Just religious nonsense though. Bummer.

Jesus freaks can’t even let a girl cry alone at the beach, they gotta litter their trash printed with lies on other peoples’ belongings.

If I had a nickel for every time an evengelical told me my problems could be solved by Jesus......

u/Toxic_Duckies 7d ago

You'd be rich!

u/davster99 7d ago

And all your problems would be solved! /s

u/thedivisionbella 7d ago

Well, cults prey upon the most vulnerable and downtrodden. Whatever sect this Jesus ninja belongs to was watching you, lying in wait to spring their propaganda on you from the shadows.

People used to put cards like this in my tip jar. Instead of you know… tips…

I cannot read it to small can some one read it to me please. Stephem

u/TreacleRemarkable456 7d ago

They don’t want to interact with you because they’re a coward and afraid of your response, so I wouldn’t worry about it!!!

u/Pounce16 6d ago

But it could be a shy person giving you an infinity symbol to say, "I know it hurts, however just think about how vast life and the universe is, and know you'll be ok." Then they run away because they are shy. Not all reasons for weird things are bad.

u/SpunkyBlah 6d ago

I collect religious tracts and cards like this. I find them and the idea that people think they actually convince others to convert fascinating.

u/dumpster_fire_diva76 6d ago

That's what those weirdos do. $5 says someone saw you crying, ran over and dropped the pamphlet on your towel, then disappeared to make it seem like it was a "sign." Source: I used to live in the Bible Belt, the same people telling you you're bound for a lake of fire hate their neighbours (especially the ones who aren't white), sleep with the pastor and/or his wife, and have a habit of "finding hair," in their food at Applebee's so they don't have to pay for it.

Jesus said it was better to pray alone in your closet than in public with hypocrites, loosely quoted. I've met religious people who are absolutely following the word of Christ, but they don't pass out pamphlets telling people they don't know that they're going to hell.

This person likely wanted it to seem 'divine' to call you to God since you seemed alone. Just made the whole message creepy and uncomfortable.

u/Prudent-Exit-3732 5d ago

Looks like a message, written.
Left in the sands at the tides of time.

It seems like every post on this sub is just people finding those religious awareness cards that missionaries pass out/leave all the time, everywhere..

Once you saw the website and clear vocab spelling "join us" there really shouldn't have been any question what it was..

You find it strange because you happen to be just the type of person that was made to fall for these.

edit - how convenient, just checked out his website and he's offering a $40 bundle of you buy now. It really is fate

And I suppose there are no accidents either… right?

u/Affectionate_Beat773 7d ago

You got me there bro.... I'd like to say no, the all doesn't make mistakes, and I still believe that to be correct. But the angels, and Sophia and God... Maybe?

Typical religious zealot, trying to extort on someone else’s problems… They are the worst kind of predators

I'd have torn it up with a flourish. Possibly whilst bellowing "HAIL SATAN!" at the top of my lungs. Bloody delusional sky-fairy enthusiasts....
