JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, CHRISTIANS.

Why are you LIKE this?

“Oh, I know, I’m going to help someone who is in a shit situation by shoving a religion that has historically oppressed them down their throats.”

That won’t help ANYONE. Absolutely fucking NO ONE.

Religion with deities has two parts. How you relate personally to your deity/ies, and how you use your religion to relate to other people. And constantly cramming your religion down other people’s throats is NOT what Jesus either did, or told other people to do.

Thins Jesus said to do:

-clothe the hungry

-donate your money to the poor

-pay taxes

-visit the prisoners

-take care of other people

-love people the way that you would want to be treated.

Things Jesus did for others:

-healed them

-fed them

-told them to take care of each other

Nowhere in that does he say that you should respond to someone’s loss/hurt/harm by saying “well Jesus will make it better.”

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING!?!

Other religions can figure out how to coexist without trying to colonize and conquer a space, why can’t you?!?

Just. GAH.

Be the sort of Christians who go into the world, and serve people with any ulterior motive. Be the sort of Christians who hear Matthew 25:40-45 (tl;dr however you treat your fellow humans is how you treat Jesus) and actually take it to heart.

If Jesus was struggling, you wouldn’t go up to him and be like. “I’m going to preach and refuse to help you unless you agree to be either baptized or converted to a religion that goes against the things you hold most dear instead of doing things that are fundamentally helpful and respect you as a whole person.”

So DON’T FUCKING DO IT TO ANYONE ELSE

This isn’t hard. Respect other people, and other people’s sacred beliefs.

I genuinely can’t comprehend the uniquely Christian urge to see someone at their lowest and think “Now is the perfect time. I should tell them about my religion.”
