Popular Post Brother Jeff Posted February 17, 2013 Popular Post Posted February 17, 2013 I remember how happy I was to accept Jesus as my Savior atthe age of 19 after being witnessed to by a good friend and watching “The JesusFilm”. Jesus, you promised me eternal life. What I got was 15 years of falseand damaging beliefs and psychological manipulation and abuse. So, fuck you! I worshiped you privately and publicly. I made a fool ofmyself for you in front of many people. I annoyed family and friends for you. Itold my loving mother that she was going to hell. I annoyed and no doubt amusedconvenience store clerks and toll booth operators for you. My reward? 15 yearsof psychological manipulation and abuse. Fuck you, Jesus! I have bipolar disorder that had not then been diagnosed. Iwas prayed for many times. Nobody knew what was wrong with me. I hit the floorfor you many times, “slain in the spirit” hoping for healing. My reward? I gota religious high, but nothing else. You failed to heal me, Jesus. So, fuck you! You said you were coming back again and I expected it at anymoment for 15 years of my life. I looked forward to being with you in heaven.You lied and gave me a false hope that I held on to for years. So, fuck you! You gave me heartache and heartbreak. You stole 15 years ofmy life and the pain still remains. So, fuck you, Jesus! I loved you and I thought you loved me. I thought I had thegreatest friend in the universe forever. It was just a lie – a myth and nothingmore. So, fuck you, Jesus! 15
Thought2Much Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I could have actually had fun when I was in college. Real fun, not "praise and worship" or "church" fun. Not "fun with a higher purpose," or fun doing things that were also "edifying," but honest-to-goodness fun. Hell, maybe I could even have gotten laid a couple of times. But no, I was a Serious Christian™ who was on fire for The Lord. Fuck you, Jesus! 3
mymistake Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I'm not that attracted to Jesus but I wouldn't mind fucking his mom. She is smoking hot, and probably lonely too. Even the mother of God wants to have some fun now and then, no? She is stuck for all eternity in a rigid church service that never ends. She must be bored to tears. It would also make up for all the fun I missed out on when I was being a serious Christian all my life. Damn, that was stupid of me.
Moderator Margee Posted February 17, 2013 Moderator Posted February 17, 2013 Jeff!! You just KNOW how I support that letter!! Get it out brother!!!! Glory!! Hug from me!!! P.S. I just read your profile page again and I want you to know that I have tears running down my face from laughing at 'Your profession'!!! Oh my gawdddd..........that was sooo funny... 3
Bhim Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Heh, I can very much understand peoples' sentiment on this, and to a large degree I share it. Like Thought2Much I probably would have had a lot more fun in college if I hadn't wasted it with strict adherence to baseless Christian morality. And like Brother Jeff I went and told my parents, and quite a few others, that they were going to hell. And wow, 15 years? I only wasted 6, I'm sorry that you have me beat by more than twice as much. I guess the best thing to do now is enjoy the rest of our lives free of Jesus and his tyrrany over our lives. 1

But no, I was a Serious Christian™ who was on fire for The Lord. Fuck you, Jesus! Same here. I went to a Baptist university and I too was "on fire" for the Lard. I could have had so much more fun and my parents would have saved so much money if I had gone to a state univerity like UT or the University of Houston. I went to East Texas Baptist University expecting a church-like atmosphere and instead found myself around college kids who were normal folks except for having religion really bad. 1

kolaida Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Yes, I totally agree with the letter. I was born into it and it took me 26/27 years to get out of it. I mean, church is in my earliest memories. I'm kind of surprised honestly that I have actually rejected it. Even my youngest sister who I told said I was the last person she ever expected to hear that out of (think it kind of shook her up). But church does not encourage help for getting help for mental disorders such as anxiety or depression or anger. It's always about praying and if you're having problems, you are somehow being shown you're just not in the "right place." That the lord is "working on you" etc. About the college thing, I went to a community college anyway. Due to my high anxiety, I don't know how much more "fun" I would have had. I would have definitely dated and gotten myself more education on sex besides the abstinence I was taught and followed. Even without religion, though, casual sex can have damaging consequences (besides unwanted babies and STDs). I'm kind of relieved I got through college without too much of that because my experience with it so far has not been good (and that's with other non religious people) I DO wish I would have started drinking earlier, though, LOL. Then again, if my anxiety disorder(s) had been treated way sooner (like in childhood when I used to complain about it being so nervous all the time), maybe things would have been better. I think the absolute worst thing about the religion is that science especially MEDICAL (even though in debates all you ever hear about is freakin creationism) is so overlooked. If someone goes crazy, it must have been demons or something . 2
wanderinstar Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Brother Jeff, I feel your pain...and your RAGE!! Sounds like your experience was eerily similar to mine with 15 years hard labor in the cult, trying to heal mental illness with prayer, telling loved ones they're going to hell, waiting for the second coming and truly believing Jesus was my best friend. And people wonder why we're so pissed! Christianity is one serious crazy making religion. 3
NeverAgainV Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks for this. I can so relate....years wasted, relationships destroyed...jeezus & his ministers can fuck themselves. 1

Loved it, too! I'm trying to figure out how with as many posts as Brother Jeff has, and as freaking funny as what he writes is, he only has 201 rep points. This is a problem that must be addressed in order to balance the universe. 3
thebatman Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 The first thing I did when I figured out xtianity is bullshit is I threw that heathen book of magic spells called the bible in the trash. Then out loud I prayed "fuck you Jesus!" over and over and over. I said it then, I'll say it again, fuck you Jesus! You fucking cult leader piece of shit you! 3
owen652 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 15 years?? Pfft. Try thirty-five. I win! Oh wait... 2

Then out loud I prayed "fuck you Jesus!" over and over and over. I said it then, I'll say it again, fuck you Jesus! You fucking cult leader piece of shit you! Indeed. I didn't do anything like that initially, but eventually I did a ritual that amounted to a concrete "fuck you" to the fear- and guilt-mongering, tyrannical asshole Jesus. That action had a surprisingly deep effect, and was very helpful. 1
Positivist Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Oh I hear you bruthuh! I too threw my sanity, hopes , dreams, career, and reputation into the jeeziz inferno. Gawd. What a waste. 2
Pantophobia Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 It's not so much the years of partying and good times I regret missing out on. It's the years of balls-out depression, the insecurity. The terror that no matter what I did, God was going to smite me. Jesus was testing me because he loved me, so everything was one big dysfunctional brew of guilt versus power trip. I look back on the hours spent in hysterical tears, the life events I avoided, and the ones I didn't fully enjoy because they were "of this world" and God would take them from me to teach me some weird lesson about devotion, and that is what I regret. I missed out on chunks of my life and felt nothing but fear and shame, when I could have just been content and happy. And for that, I raise both hands, and extend middle fingers. 5
OnceConvinced Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Sad to say it, but he's become a Christian again. sigh. Funny though. I kind of thought saying "Fuck you Jesus" would be pretty much the same as blaspheming the holy spirit. I'm sure he's done that plenty of times though, so I'm not quite sure how he thinks that God's forgiven him..

I'm sure he's done that plenty of times though, so I'm not quite sure how he thinks that God's forgiven him.. Who's become a Christian again?? Brother Jeff? But, yeah, the thing about Christianity is it teaches you that God will accept anyone back into the fold but once you're in it, you better be straight. "God understands you were misled by Satan, God understands you said that out of anger...... no, the bible didn't literally mean that, just repent and admit what you did was wrong, just don't do it repeatedly, it's wrong to take advantage of God's love and forgiveness---- Jesus still loves you." Also, who knows what outside influences are involved. But that's too bad. Or are we just getting our chains yanked here??
Bhim Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Who's become a Christian again?? Brother Jeff? That's what I was wondering too. Given his strong words about Jesus I find that surprising.

I'm sure he's done that plenty of times though, so I'm not quite sure how he thinks that God's forgiven him.. you're joking right? He's bipolar and has a long history of flip flopping on the issue. I'm sad to hear he's still struggling with this medical condition, but not surprised. If it's anything like the past, he'll return to being an atheist again after a few weeks when his emotions cycle back down.
