How I feel being a Christian and a Republican on Reddit

profhound · 2012-10-04T19:57:35+00:00

From a liberal-ish non-Christian, please continue to share your viewpoints. They are valid and important to discussion.

9212 · 2012-10-04T22:10:38+00:00

I'm Christian. And I wish you hadn't brought religion or politics into /r/funny.

SasquatchPhD · 2012-10-04T20:53:14+00:00

As a Canadian I'm prepared to not care.

We just need your Netflix, so keep it up.

Warlizard · 2012-10-04T20:35:17+00:00

If you were over 40, you'd have the trifecta.

/r/Republican

/r/Christianity

That should get you started.

mecrosis · 2012-10-04T22:12:21+00:00

Funnily enough this is how I feel as an atheist liberal IRL.

cavscout55 · 2012-10-04T23:08:15+00:00

i'm a christian and republican as well. but you seriously had to know this was going to spark some serious debate.

ethanoffthechain · 2012-10-04T21:27:56+00:00

As a Christian, I dare not stumble into the political or religious part of Reddit. 'Tis a scary thought.

FTFY

itaintme · 2012-10-04T20:20:13+00:00

I don't understand Christian / Conservative at the same time. Jesus was like the world's biggest liberal, even according to his often confusing presskit.

Directors_Cut · 2012-10-04T20:19:35+00:00

Its fine to be a Christian or a Republican on Reddit, just don't be a dick about it.

BillTheUnjust · 2012-10-04T21:20:16+00:00

I clicked the link expecting to see the "Fuck me right?" meme.

PissedOffYoda · 2012-10-04T23:15:28+00:00

White Christian Republicans are known to be the most persecuted, downtrodden demographic, ever!

CivilCJ · 2012-10-04T22:49:35+00:00

Right there with you buddy. Still not voting for Romney though.

GoldenRule11 · 2012-10-04T20:30:44+00:00

I know dat feel. Apparently /r/politics should be called /r/democrats because the moment you post anything republican or not from CNN you get downvoted. And /r/atheism should be called /r/becomeanatheistnow

cromstantinople · 2012-10-04T22:05:32+00:00

Just curious, can you explain what it is about those demographics that you find compelling? I'm especially curious about the republican part. I feel as though the republican party of the present has become so skewed and lock-step that many republicans of the past would be seen almost as heretics by the current crop. As for being a Christian, by all means don't stop. That is if you actually adhere to Jesus' teachings. As Gandhi said "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." Or don't, it's just reddit. :)

1ferriswheel98 · 2012-10-04T22:15:15+00:00

Well, this was posted on a brand new account, its been active for less than a day. So its nice to know that you've only felt like this for a 2 hours minimum.

Kokana · 2012-10-04T20:02:00+00:00

lol you are correct sir. and here i thought i was all alone on reddit :P

thegreatvortigaunt · 2012-10-04T21:29:51+00:00

Try being a Muslim on here. At least Christians aren't labelled as violent scum.

EDIT: I'm not a Muslim guys, just thought I would make that clear. But I don't have to follow the faith to defend the people who do.

icelumni · 2012-10-04T23:20:19+00:00

After reading some of the comments in this threat, I understand why you feel that way.

SuttonWho · 2012-10-04T20:34:26+00:00

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

4realthistime · 2012-10-04T21:31:27+00:00

So brave....

mnick_11 · 2012-10-04T22:38:16+00:00

I feel the exact same way.

mj258 · 2012-10-04T23:09:43+00:00

real niggas say true

mitchrodee · 2012-10-05T00:02:23+00:00

Then why come here? Why would hang around somewhere where you feel you're being attacked?

mrmateo · 2012-10-05T00:14:37+00:00

on an unrelated note. i went to the beach where they filmed that scene and most of the scenes on that island. i love Dominica.

IStandUpForYou · 2012-10-05T02:02:05+00:00

As an independent agnostic, I don't know what to think of things.

TunicaExterna · 2012-10-05T02:13:14+00:00

Hahahahahahahaha but seriously GET OUT

bumscaglysdexia · 2012-10-04T22:22:14+00:00

Christians and republicans have a tendency to feel victimized and maintain a martyr complex wherever they go. Although I think its probably a human tendency to feel outnumbered and disenfranchised its much more encouraged and reinforced by religious dogma and conservative ideology.

brycehanson · 2012-10-04T23:01:55+00:00

I like how this thread perfectly demonstrates this sentiment. Sweet irony.

Spudley_Mac · 2012-10-04T21:53:35+00:00

Because Jesus would be in favor of tax cuts for the rich

theWonderslug · 2012-10-04T19:45:32+00:00

Add being a teenager and some grammar mistakes and it will be like this.

motivaction · 2012-10-04T22:46:26+00:00

I feel the same being a tolerant atheist. (Sometims I go to r/all and get lost in r/atheism. Or maybe we should call it r/fundamentalatheism)

kimburly · 2012-10-04T22:24:31+00:00

I remember when I was both of those things as well... Now, after several months of redditing, I am neither.

squeeky_shark2342 · 2012-10-04T21:35:55+00:00

I feel you...

SargeMacLethal · 2012-10-04T21:36:13+00:00

I feel ya, brah

support_the_surreal · 2012-10-04T22:36:38+00:00

I think the real problem is in the ways we appraise the word Christian and conservative. The modern view of them is now a far right wing person who has unfavorable views to the majority of the reddit audience. I would say in reality you are probably a good person with a differing opinion. Depends on how different and your reasons why, but putting it out there that you are a Christian or conservative makes you any easy target.

InsertOffensiveName · 2012-10-04T22:37:53+00:00

As if republicans would be anything like "chased" here... I wont forget the "Ron Paul" hype around this place.

Aldesso · 2012-10-04T22:39:57+00:00

i read a lot of these comments then i jumped head first into a wall to forget said comments. it didnt work.

YolkoOhno · 2012-10-04T22:41:07+00:00

To me, it feels like going outside and people are eating each other even though In-N-Out is giving away free cheeseburgers, so I grab some cheeseburgers and every one mocks me as I run back inside and pretend like I never went to In-N-Out.

Shnazzyone · 2012-10-04T22:43:28+00:00

I'm fine with you being christian, Republican, hey that's alright. Repost an pirates of the Caribbean gif. Now I hate you.

funsnailz · 2012-10-04T22:45:44+00:00

I feel the exact same way.

kipjak3rd · 2012-10-04T22:58:10+00:00

We are not savages.

TardisMechanic · 2012-10-04T23:00:36+00:00

That's about the equivalent of being a gay minority democrat in Carl Rove's dungeon.

You are gonna have a bad time.

Honeyb4 · 2012-10-04T23:01:58+00:00

I know that feel bro

ElricG · 2012-10-04T23:04:23+00:00

I feel like they should be throwing downvote spears or spewing bile. either or.

delmar15 · 2012-10-04T23:04:41+00:00

I have feeling he's neither christian, nor republican.

KadieXKiller · 2012-10-04T23:04:55+00:00

I feel your pain, my friend.

blaghart · 2012-10-04T23:08:09+00:00

I see nothing wrong with either as long a u support the teachings of jesus by supporting the poor and less fortunate and follow the platform of republicans to limit big government by not making laws which limit the rights of women or internet users.

zombiebunnie · 2012-10-04T23:10:00+00:00

Pretty sure its more like this.

Also, I'm a bleeding heart liberal Buddhist and I get butchered a lot of times.

But hey, at least you have your mountains of money to help you sleep at night.

Haleljacob · 2012-10-04T23:12:56+00:00

I'm probably one of the people in that crowd

downsunup · 2012-10-04T23:15:12+00:00

humanity still hasn't evolved passed a black & white view of the world. how do you create a system that polarizes to 2 ends of the extreme and not expect to divide a country in half? lol

AAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNDD Karma whore.

b1zatch · 2012-10-04T23:24:29+00:00

From an atheist republican, please continue to post republican ideas, most of the politics that come out of /r/politics are immature and implausible.

notmyrealnam3 · 2012-10-04T23:25:32+00:00

republican i can understand (i don't "get" but there are likely reasons and i love to hear them) heck i am canadian, i don't even really "get" democrats

sorry, the christian i respect your right to be, but i can't respect you anymore than someone who worships mickey mouse

It's the same for you in the real world, except there you're one of the other guys.

It's a dangerous thing to surround yourself only with people who agree with you. Thanks for rounding out the community.

Every single conservative vs liberal debate nowadays always boils down to Evolutionism vs Creationism.

Difference of religion.
