Derek Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I have religious family members and friends on facebook, and this time of year they start whining about "Jesus" being the "reason for the season", and "it's merry christmas, not happy holidays" and so on, and so forth. I am getting so tired of this bullshit. They talk about people getting offended when they say merry Christmas, but the only people I see whining and getting offended are Christians when someone says "happy holidays". I have very politely offered my point of view--that a friendly greeting should be returned in kind, however it is worded--and now I think they believe I'm some kind of demon, or something. Not that I care...maybe I can scare them with my evil, demonic nature. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted December 11, 2018 Super Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yeah, some of those people I fuck with and others I just delete or ignore. Facebook (and everything else) is here for my entertainment! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruthSeeker0 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 You just can't win with these kinds of people. I make a point of not even having them on Facebook. I can only take so much whining. And I never need to worry about what people think about my views on FB since none of them are friends with me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConsiderTheSource Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Unfollow, unfollow, unfollow, and then unfollow some more. Not worth any space in your rational mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 You guys may be right. Problem is, one of the preachy types happens to be my brother. We used to be quite close. We could have an intellectual conversation about science, astronomy, space travel, and other nerd topics. But then, a few years ago, the christian noose fell around his neck and stopped the bloodflow to his brain. All he thinks about now is that damned cult. I mourn his loss. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsathoggua9 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 " But then, a few years ago, the christian noose fell around his neck and stopped the bloodflow to his brain." Hilarious and sadly accurate at the same time. Love it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruthSeeker0 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I don't have any of my religious family on FB, and I'm not worried about their feelings about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
older Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Why be on FB in the first place? I don't use it and I get along just fine without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Well, there isn't anything preventing you from deleting your profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffodil Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Let it go, Derek. There is a whole world out here of real flesh and blood people you can actually see and hear when you talk to them! I deleted my profile years ago and have no regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I still have facebook too and it’s mostly for three things now. 1) Reading the Navy Times 2) Trolling AiG 3) Making sure no one is hurt, sick or dead (it’s my families primary platform of communication) There is no hope for those in it. The echo chamber reverberates so loudly that nothing short of turning off FB’s server farms could interrupt it. My aunt is so deep in the echo chamber that she literally believes a child can be arrested and thrown in prison for walking into a school while holding a bible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
older Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I see FB, Youtube, Instagram, Twitter and other social media platforms as major forces that have shifted billions of people into narcissism. It's all about the poster, with unlimited selfies and inane comments about their latest adventures. There is much more to life than that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questioningone Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I’m sick of gmail, Facebook and everything like YouTube right now.. because I was subscribed to hundreds of Christian stuff and I’m bombarded with it daily. I have no energy to unsubscribe to them all. Get daily “memories” on Facebook of Christian stuff I posted, daily devotional..etc. I don’t know what to do....
