I remember two adults acting as aegis for their child. The kid approached my door, handed me a flyer and asked me to come to his Jesus party. The parents were smiling hopefully. I have no idea what Jesus party even meant.
I kneeled and said flatly "There's no such thing as Jesus. Your parents and your pastor are lying to you."
They were HORRIFIED, the parents rushed up my stoop, the father literally grabbed the kid under his arm like a football and they fled.
Am I an asshole? No. That child needed to know he's being deceived.
Possibly unpopular opinion by a fellow atheist, but you're just as bad as a preaching Christian by doing that. Trying to turn others to your belief system, however right it may be, is shitty, homie. Way to ruin a kids party, when you admit yourself you didn't even know what they meant by Jesus Party. Made an assumption, ruined a kids week. YTA.
Meh. If you come knocking on my door and tell me all about Jesus I'd probably tell you he's been dead for two thousand years. I don't have to support your delusion just because you barged into my life, and I think accommodating that bullshit just makes Christians worse.
Would I say that if I passed someone by on the street? No, of course not. But if you ask for my opinion you're going to get it.
Yeah totally understandable. Except in this case, they didn't tell him all about Jesus, they invited him to a kid's party. And they didn't ask for his opinion, nor did they give theirs.
