In my twenties. Vaguely defined. I will curate a dashboard so inconsistent you sustain psychic damage. Pray to your gods I never post anything original.
something that rly creeps me out…..occasionally ill see videos or articles for christians or christian missionaries that say something like “what you need to do is make friends with non christians and really get them to trust you and THEN you start preaching to them and bringing them to jesus” and that is….man how much would it hurt to know that the only reason someone’s hanging out with you is to convert you to a religion you were never interested in. maybe this is a real friend, someone you really really feel like you connect to, and all of a sudden you cant hang out with them without being scared they’ll bring out the jesus stuff.
charlie youre blowing my third eye WIDE open
hahahaha like a year ago I tweeted “Christianity’s attitude toward Jews resembles nothing so much as the attitude of a man toward a woman who won’t fuck him” and people got SO MAD at me

NO
WTF
trying to convert people with whom you have an existing relationship is just as bad as trying to convert strangers
the only people whom you can “ethically bring into the faith” are PEOPLE WHO HAVE ASKED ON THEIR OWN, WITHOUT PROMPTING FROM YOU, ASKED TO LEARN MORE AND THEN EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO CONVERT
I swear, the main effect of worshipping Jesus appears to be a completely brutalized moral compass and perverted understanding of consent and boundaries
Gonna weigh in here as someone who was raised xian, backed away from the religion side of it when it clashed with what I’d been taught, and has since been subjected to evangelism efforts by relatives:
If you think evangelising to someone you have a preexisting relationship with, who has not asked about joining your faith, is a good thing? No. You are in fact:
making that person EXTREMELY uncomfortable in your presence
making them feel manipulated and used
ensuring that THEY WILL LIE TO YOU about their interest in order to extract themselves from conversation with you. Smile and nod and gtfo becomes the strategy
guaranteeing that you will eventually lose them as a friend/family member, and possibly get cut out of their life entirely if you don’t get the hint and stop
I’ve had this argument with others before. The way it comes across to your targets is that you care more about feeling good about yourself and ensuring your god is pleased with you, than you care about our feelings as people and individuals. It’s rude. It’s disrespectful. And it makes you look like an asshole.
Leftism teaches you that the most annoying people in the world can have the exact same opinions as you. And they’ll still get on your nerves
Other leftists will say some shit you fundamentally agree with but phrased in a way designed in a lab specifically to piss you off. Like you’re right but shut the fuck up
I will never get the people who don’t like to tell people their birthday. Like yes privacy I’m happy for you but also when I’m a little birthday boy I need everyone to know I’m a little birthday boy
