Though they belong to the most popular religion in the world, Christians remain mercilessly persecuted by a depraved subset of maniacs who do not believe in God. The Onion asked Christians why atheists are bullies, and this is what they said.
“The ostracizing looks I get while patrolling drag brunches with my AR-15 make me feel like a second-class citizen.”
“They’re always rubbing the silence of an indifferent universe into our faces.”
“They mind their own business, which is super passive-aggressive.”
“Sometimes I just want to walk up to these counterprotesters and say, ‘Let people live their lives.’”
“They won’t even let us burn all their books!”
“They cynically use basic logic and rational thought to make me question my deeply held beliefs, knowing full well I don’t want to do that.”
“Atheists have oppressed us to the point where I can only practice my religion at home, at church, at city council meetings, with my family, at work, in my car, with friends, at the mall, and in public parks.”
“Anyone existing in a different way is harmful to me somehow.”
The Onion is getting lazy. They’re supposed to be writing satire, but they are just getting quotes from actual Christians.
“They cynically use basic logic and rational thought to make me question my deeply held beliefs, knowing full well I don’t want to do that.”
Ok that’s fuckin hilarious tho
“the fact that they exist at all is just kinda insulting when you think about it”
Joel Osteen, Pastor “They label us as close-minded and powerful, when really we’re just a tax front.”
Lmao, never forget, when his city needed shelters, he kept the stadium turned church closed until he was shamed into letting some in.
And the church received pretty massive ppp loans if i remember correctly
Which the pastors quickly converted into private jets. Ya know… for Jesus!
“I’m guessing it has to do with differing interpretations of Eleazar’s martyrdom in 2 Maccabees, which, honestly, I can sympathize with.”
“They’re always stuffing me in a tomb for three days.”
This is metaphorical right?
Satirical, certainly.
I can’t think of any personal stuffing I’d enjoy for three days straight. (well - it wouldn’t be straight, technically).
OHHH boo hoo, atheists are “bullies,” but “christians” and their hatefilled missionaries telling the world how wrong everyone is for not being christian, are somehow not bullies. “Christians,” with their hate-filled ideology of otherism, of anti-human war mongering, of casting down everyone who doesnt’ believe as they do - oh no, THEY’RE NOT BULLIES. Frankly they deserve contempt at every turn.
