post:: *why being a dick to christians isn't cute*

person in the reblogs:: yeah! because most christians aren't white or from the u.s anyway

...

so... being a dick to christians is, in fact, not okay.. unless they're white and american - then that's fine??

or are you saying the only reason not to be a dick to christians is because some of us aren't white and american?? like "you shouldn't be mean to them, they're not white, they get a pass"??

or a secret third thing i don't know because tbh i'm still stuck on why you'd think that's a good comment to make??

being a dick to christians isn't cute no matter what, but basing your attitude towards christians on skin color and geographic location seems also not cute

"As a Christian we believe Jesus had to die. The purpose of Jesus being born was to die. And become the ultimate sacrifice for all of our sins so that everyone could have the opportunity for right standing with God.

So "who killed Jesus" is actually a worthless argument to begin with. And: correct. Saying "the Jews did kill Jesus" still shouldn't excuse hatred towards millions of people until the end of time.

The fact that a death, which had to happen, has been utilized to murder people for thousands of years is the dumbest thing in the world."

coexistence isn't "you can stick around as long as you conform"

it's "you are welcome here as you are"

any christian that wants jewish people to change so we can "coexist" is either 1. dumb, 2. not being genuine about wanting to coexist, 3. a piece of shit, 4. all of the above, 5. here is a fifth option because my ocd will not allow only four sorry

Mary was Jewish

Jesus was Jewish

They were from Israel

"why doesn't *insert religion here*'s text condemn *insert horrible thing here*??"

Well, Kathy, I have two answers for you

1. It is not possible to account for, and cover, every possible thing a person could do

2. There are a lot of things you shouldn't do that you should already know, without being told, to not do. They probably didn't think they'd have to spell them all out for ya

"You shouldn’t abstain from rape just ’cause you think that I want you to. You shouldn’t rape ’cause rape is a fucked up thing to do. Pretty obvious, just don’t fucking rape people, please. Didn’t think I had to write that one down for ya." - From God's Perspective [Bo Burnham]

"to a christian the story of exodus is a chrisrian story" "exodus, along with the rest of the old testament, was stolen from the news"

how about sometimes these stories crossover and exodus, in this case, is a story for anyone who follows a faith that reads it??

it's not a strictly christian story, and maybe it was stolen idk i'm not jewish but i wouldnt be surprised, but that doesn't change the fact that it is a part of christianity. we read it, study it, teach it to our kids just like every other book of the bible, old and new testament alike.

we can't do shit about the fact that a section of our holy book was probably taken, what we can do is not claim it and be assholes about it.

there is no fight to be had here. unless you like picking fights just for something to do, in which case maybe take your religious text of choice outside and touch grass while you read.

don't claim to know everything when you don't. you don't. i don't care who you are. there is 0% chance you do. you might see exodus, or any of the books, one way but nothing is set in unbreakable stone and everyone is entitled to their interpretations no matter how much we might think it's shit

Actually, y'know what?? If you aren't Christian you aren't allowed to talk about Christians or Christianity anymore. Yeah. I'm putting it on the top shelf with all the other things you guys cannot talk about normally or correctly

This counts for "cultural christianity" too

To the top shelf with it all

sorry about the volume - it might be loud, idk, i'm listening to music on my phone

i've been at work for seven (7) hours and there's like.. four (4) more to go?? there were also services 1 & 2 in there (i've had the livestream up while working) so it's not like i've been bopping around all by myself this whole time lol

here's a little clip of me at work. just because. and no one else is here until the midnight service (hashtag pajama service) so i'm having a little extra fun (aka i would not have sabrina on with other people here. short n' sweet anyway)

anyway l! merry crisis, tumblr ✝️🎄❤️

respecting that someone doesn't believe in the things i do is easy. bc i literally don't care. you believe what you do, don't believe what you don't, and i'll do the same, and the world will continue to turn

that doesn't, however, mean respecting when a person tries to tell me their opinion on my beliefs when i haven't said shit about theirs. it doesn't mean respecting when someone is loudly being a dick about my beliefs.

i don't have to respect a non-religious person being a major fucking asshole about my beliefs, especially not around me or to me

believe it or not, i've seen just as many non-religious people being awful to religious people as i have seen religious people being awful to non. both are wrong. both should not be happening.

nobody gets a pass to be a dick.

doesnt matter what you do or don't believe

"the expectation/fact that this is a question is cultural christianity"

it's not that fucking deep

"no one can be saved by trying to be a good person or doing any other kind of good works"
