The problem is that the idiots are ruining it for the rest of us.  Ignoring their outspoken idiocy is no longer an option.

Personally, I’m rooting for the virus. In fact, I encourage as many people as possible to skip the vaccine and go to a bar with hundreds of other infected idiots.

How to Talk to Someone Who Doesn’t Want the COVID-19 Vaccine

last thing anyone gives a shit about right now is how people celebrate their imaginary sky friend

First, thank you for the structured and argumented answer, which do warrant an also (a bit) lengthy response.

Why do you think you need “Religion” to do that? Lots of charities out there that have nothing to do with religion at all. If Religion disappeared tomorrow it doesn’t mean that over night we would all become self absorbed assholes, it just means we wouldn’t look to a fairy tale to tell us to be good to people and do

Hmm now I am to be derided because I express my lack of understanding of why some people were behaving weirdly?

Yep, people deserve respect. Ideas or behaviour do not deserve anything, and I will respond to them according to their merits.

a bunch of people livestreaming their weekly meet-up is totally a cancer on our society.

But you, that DOES affect me. There you have a bunch of people that decide to let go of rationality, reasoning and who embrace unjustified beliefs and superstition. This is the kind of behaviour that causes a lot of harm worldwide. We should know better that to not only acknowledge but even consider this kind of

People deserve respect. Irrational beliefs do not.

I’m sorry, I try to be open-minded, really... but all this energy spent for maintaining rituals and false beliefs, plus added to the incredible fact that people are trying to make it so the LGBT community can be fully accepted by any monotheistic religion (although all the monotheistic sacred texts see it as a sin,

Lack of direct acknowledgement does not equate to hatred or discrimination though... If someone sends out a general greeting that applies to 99.5% of the audience, it doesn’t mean they hate you just because they didn’t stop to say “oh and also you how could I forget about you”

Stories of magic space knights and destructive woodland creatures can (should) have an INTERNAL logic. Good storytellers know this. Hack storytellers don’t. And fan boys don't care, which is how good sagas die.

I didn’t know that it was so despised. I certainly can’t stomach The Meaning of Life. Now I want to look in to that. Your take on Intagram Jesus is both funny and discomfiting, although the whole ‘rich going to heaven as to passing a camel through the eye of a needle’ might appeal to the younger Millennials, lol

When considering Jesus as an historical figure, I like to refer to The Life of Brian. A prophet/preacher/savior ranting every few yards (every ‘street corner, lol?). Ultimately someone just had better hair and cuter followers (kinda like Influencers today). And who could forget that scene where Brian has to pick up

A great point and a constant conundrum. On one hand, shouldn’t you at least wear a t-shirt so the recipients of your good works can know a little about your motives, especially if you can’t talk to them about it? Maybe. For a local church, that could be a big deal. You get your name out there and bolster your

Lastly, I don’t give a shit about your reasons for not liking religion, much like I’m sure you don’t care about my reasons for liking it.

It’d be nice if most Christians did not treat the Bible as completely factual though. 

I love to talk about transubstantiation among other people who grew up Catholic and watch their eyes go wide and ask me what I’m talking about. Like, was I the only one paying attention in Sunday school?
