stop trying to give me an ultimatum, saying i’ll go to hell or that we can’t be friends if i don’t pray.

if i’m uncertain that god exists because there’s NO PROOF EITHER WAY for me.

i’m not a “perfect” straight christian woman like you are, i’m not going to change myself because my looks “tempt” men. i dress for me, not for men.

i don’t CARE if same-gender relationships are “sins” and you’ll go to hell. there are some pro-lgbt churches. i don’t care if “all women are for is to complement men and they’re inferior and they should only be with other men for that reason”.

this shit makes me so mad. i don’t have to be religious if i don’t want to be. there’s this one straight christian woman i know and she hates other women it’s so annoying, and she claims to support the lgbt but “doesn’t care about gay/trans rights”.

omfg shut up, there’s some actual kind christians despite me not being one myself, but these people obviously aren’t.

if you’re genuinely curious as to whether i pray, am christian/religious, or go to church, then that’s fine, but DON’T TRY TO FORCE ME. i thought christianity preached acceptance??

you can't prove that no god exists, but there are a lot of proofs that the christian god cannot possibly exist.

I agree 100% with the latter part of that statement.

But it's not up to anyone to prove that something does not exist. It's entirely up to the person making the claim that gods do exist, to provide the evidence.

At that point, you'd be able to either validate the evidence or prove it to be wrong.

The problem with any religion is that it's based on faith. And what is faith? The belief in something without evidence that it exists. 🫢

Don't waste your time even worrying about religion. Life's too short for that nonsense.

well 'god' is a pretty nebulous term. the olympian gods, you can disprove most of them with a satellite photo or a helicopter. the norse gods are a little harder to disprove. the christian god is pretty easy to disprove.

It is true that nobody should have to worry about proving negatives on people's obviously made up fairlytale bullshit. it is sometimes fun to point out that if you define your god sufficiently, it can be and has been done.

and I would love to not worry about religion, but im queer and live in the united states, so I need to be pretty on my toes about that shit if I don't want to be raped to death in a very pretty building/strip mall.
