Cryptic Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Every once and a while I'll talk to my Christian wife about religion. I'm the type that doesn't care what others believe as long as they don't force it down my throat. But there is one button that she presses that always makes me explode with rage inside and it comes in a few different flavors: You can't quote scripture against me because you don't believe in it to begin with, or when asked if nothing happens that doesn't go according to God's will/plan: God knows the future but he leaves the choice up to you when the time comes. All paths are known to God but we live in the present so you can choose to go down the right path, or turn away from it. What lines make you rage the most when talking with Christians?

Super Moderator florduh Posted July 15, 2012 Super Moderator Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hmmm, Christian lines that make me rage... ALL OF THEM. God is testing you, God has a plan, God is good all the time, yada yada. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptic Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." Very clever. I tend to ask guys if they have a problem with girls who are lesbian and I draw crickets. It's amusing how hypocritical male religious nuts are. Also, any single Christian who feels like they have the right interpretation of scripture, and everyone else is wrong, also annoys the crap out of me.

Inqui Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 A friend of mine admitted she has beliefs that she knows aren't logical or don't make any sense but that she keeps them anyway. Recently I came round to asking her why she hangs onto them. Her answer? "Lack of evidence for something isn't evidence for it not being true." A few months ago I'd have had to bite my tongue to not flip out at that kind of reasoning, but I've kind of come to a point where I've started thinking that if they want to be deluded they can have their fun.

lunaticheathen Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 "I'll pray for you." Especially when it's after a debate, because then it's christard-speak for "fuck you." But they're too good to just say "fuck you", they have to pretend they're better. Even when it's quasi-well meaning, and it's because I've related some personal trouble to them, it's "I have no real advice, and no wish to actually help anyway, so I'll let my god handle it, since he's done such a bang-up job already." Less rage, more annoyance at fucking laziness. Also, the implication that they have the hotline to Divinity, and I don't, just plain makes me want to smack them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolorado Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 All of the ones listed drive me nuts. And the fools--I have one relative this fits perfectly--- that say support Israel at all costs. The 'We gotta keep the Jews alive so Jesus can come back and convert 'em or kill the Jews, 2/3rds of them." Those types aren't too happy when you mention that sounds like a sociopath, and a mass murderer of Jews. They DO tend to get ticked a bit when you point out the obvious.

WMDKitty Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Anything said to or about a disabled person being "so brave" or "an inspiration" or how "god has a plan" and blah-de-blah. Yes, because it take so much COURAGE to... what? Lead a mostly-normal life? And it's so "inspiring" because... oh, look, the bipedal apes use technology to adapt to and get around disabilities and injuries, how fucking INSPIRING! And if God "has a plan" for me?
