Had a conversation with a vocal Christian.
Apparently, atheists are amoral degenerates because they don’t fear god or divine wrath or hell. Waxed ineloquently.
When he stopped to catch his breath; I asked if he thought i was amoral.
He didn’t catch the warning flares. Went on to more or less repeat all of what he said, adding in that this lack of fear is why they need to punish us.
So, i asked him what Christ’s last instructions were. He stared at me blankly. Had to think about that.
Finally he said “spread the gospel…” as if maybe it was a trap. (Hey, some of his survival instincts are still working…)
So, I asked if he really thought that he was doing a great job of that right now. He looked confused. So I asked him what the gospel was
“The news of christs sacrifice and his love for everyone…”
So, I asked him what divine wrath and judgment has to do with it. So he went on a massive diatribe again about god’s judgement and how if they didn’t were all fucked.
“It’s a good thing I don’t believe in your skydaddy, then. A fairy tale can’t fuck for shit. Oh. And can we talk about how the only reason you're a good person is divine wrath?”
The fun part was he filed a complaint with HR. Apparently I was the one harassing him. (And apparently the Dumbass forgot that he worked for a contract security company. We have security cameras… everywhere, including in the waiting lobby’s coffee service where he had cornered me.)(he got told to shut up. And then quite because of PeRsEcUtIoN)
Yep. I had someone "explain" to me that the only reason I had morals was that I was a good god fearing Christian. Because they couldn't fathom the idea that someone could treat others well and not want to harm anyone without fearing god. When I said I'm an atheist they absolutely refused to believe me. Like they walked away from the conversation convinced I am Christian solely because I'd never killed anyone.
It’s amazing how there’s usually two responses- either suddenly you’re a hedonistic mass murderer or your secretly a Christian.
I could do with a little hedonism….maybe
Yep, like I literally called God "your sky daddy" and they still believed I'm Christian. Lol
