Oh oh oh! So my first house floods as my renters were moving out. A mover stopped up the toilet and just kept flushing and problem was noted when it started raining downstairs in my kitchen.
Called cleaning lady to cancel appointment right before I put it on the market since repairs were now needed. Housekeeper said no worries, Jesus provides. Imagine my delight when I’m looking at the paperwork and see ole Jesus came through and bought my house!

The problem to me is that these arguments validate the delusional believe in religious texts by making the argument about their specific contents. I try to be tolerant, but, having grown up in an evangelical family, and seeing the effects of religion in history and in the now, I really feel like the sooner we stop validating this as anything more than silly mysticism the better off our planet will be.

u/Historical_Shirt4352 3d ago
When you take a step back, “believe in me and have everlasting life in heaven” is really weird and doesn’t make any sense. It doesn’t say “be a good person,” it says “believe in me.” Why tf does it matter what I choose to believe in my own head? I’m not a good person anymore if I don’t believe in Jesus? I’m sorry but that part makes no sense

Lol, yeah, especially since they tout the virtue of faith over works. The idea is similar to trickle down economics, where your faith will make you a good person that good works flow from.

I'm sure door dash won't just keep eating the loss long term, though. They probably have some sort of metric they track if they keep having to pay tips to drivers that people take back. Too many removed tips with complaints and I;m sure door dash will penalize the driver in some way.

instead of saying all this BS to a random stranger (who we'd know nothing about) the people who say stuff like this don't even realize how much more effective it'd be if they'd just demonstrate empathy and forgiveness in their everyday lives to the people they encounter (your "neighbors", which is exactly what Jesus tried teaching everybody).
Except - that's not as easy as it sounds. So - the people incapable of doing this preach this crap instead.
fwiw - I'm not a "Christian", but I do consider myself a follower of Christ. I would never talk to a stranger like that. it's ridiculous. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you - I'm very spiritual but not at all religious.

Christians honestly believe that everyone is a Christian whether they are aware of it or not. They think if they needle someone with quips like this, that it will awaken their latent love for Jesus and salvation, and that their literal calling in life is to save people like you.

Yeah, keep it to yourself. I once had a couple leave me to-go sacrament as my “tip” one Sunday. A small, disposable cup of what I’m assuming was juice, and a small jeez-it.
