What the fuck kind of question is “Remind me who murders people like you”?
I will remind you, you didn’t come into this conversation speaking calmly and plainly. You didn’t state your point in a respectful way that gave any benefit of the doubt as to where I was coming from, you flew in from left field to a reply I made to someone else with " Hey idiot, JESUS doesn’t EXIST!" sort of phrasing with the expectation that I was a Christian and your intention was to hurt and mock.
You engaged with every point I made from the perspective that I only deal and support with Christian groups and once I mentioned I was trans you started trying to use that to twist the knife and push your point. Then pulled the “Well I have a trans person in the family so I am not a bigot” routine. Heads up that flies about as well as the “Well I have a racial minority in the family”. It’s using your daughter in law as your justification, reducing her to a shield in your arsonal and that is also not okay.
My issue with you is not your beliefs. My issue is your angsty Christian Atheist teenager in full rebellion routine. Your rudeness and the anger that makes you lash out at even the mildest mention of “religion”. Would you have been so strident if I had been talking about Hinduism? Buddhism? Probably not because you make it pretty clear right off the bat you were hurt specifically and you have a score to settle and your aim is to give back whatever it is you got to anyone with even a fairly neutral opinion of Christians as a series of individuals. That isn’t an atheist perspective, it’s a trauma response. I used to behave the same way when I was a teen but I grew the fuck up and gathered some perspective and moved on with my life. I would hope you do the same.
Freaken mind reader here. Let me have a wake at that strawman when you are done with it.
What mind reading is needed? Even if I am wrong you give off the impression like a middle American Gen Xer. Entitled. Self assured. Old enough to figure people ahould respect you but also so very slightly out of touch and self satisfied enough that you have no proper sense of there being new tricks for your old dog to grock. Leftist or center left but comfortable. Some kind of professional career? Guessing it was either family or local community that turned you sour since that’s usually it. Temper on a hair trigger but with that distinctly male flavor where you have no idea how to back down because you don’t really know how to self reflect on bad behaviour and you have other people in your life to do the apologizing for you.
That’s basically the impression. Take the strawman and have fun.
