"Jesus is my RELATIONSHIP... not my RELIGION.." How would Reddit respond? (imgur.com)
submitted 6 months ago by GordontheGiraffe
[–]WolfgangLazerfist 5 points6 points7 points 6 months ago
"You're nailing Jesus too?"
[–]humble_braggart 8 points9 points10 points 6 months ago
"Jesus has changed his relationship status. Jesus is now listed as Single."
[–]GordontheGiraffe[S] 1 point2 points3 points 6 months ago
This is clever. Very, very clever.
[–]crushmastac 2 points3 points4 points 6 months ago
I'd just point em at this: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/religion
[–]GordontheGiraffe[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago
That is what I was thinking, you know. Show them the definition of religion . It just makes no sense when I see people post things like this.
[–]rsl12 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago
I agree.

"is your name mary magdalene and i didn't know you was a hooker?"
[–]uncletravellingmatt 1 point2 points3 points 6 months ago
There's so many possible replies, I can't narrow it down to one...
"Do you know your boyfriend got his own mother pregnant?"
"Little miss Daddy-issues is looking for a Father Figure here, isn't she?" (or "Girl, Jesus is totally old enough to be your Father!")
"And Captain Picard is my commanding officer, not my favorite character from TV."

Ask her if she should really be posting about her affair with her gardener, Jesus Gomez, on FB.

...I hate it when people call their religion a relationship... SO CREEPY

I hope you both are very happy together.

"I don't think Jesus said yes to this... I think I'll report a rape for his sake..."

It's complicated.

Does he talk to you? If so, get yourself checked for schizophrenia. Now.

does that mean you masturbate with those little communion wafers?
[–]FerralWombat 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago
Please post what you comment and their reaction (reply/deletion)
[–]ImChristian 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago
Why not just leave them alone and respect their beliefs? I know that this will not be very popular on here, but do you really have to jump on anything that mentions God and spout some comment that is just trying to be clever, and is unlikely to change anything about their beliefs?
[–]greenzephyr1986 1 point2 points3 points 6 months ago
I was gonna say the same thing. as an atheist myself we shouldn't seek to insult peoples beliefs, that will only serve to create a further rift between the religious and non_religious. if you still feel the need to make a comment on the matter seek instead to educate the girl and perhaps convince her of our perspective.
[–]scornucopia 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago
Why not just leave them alone
Maybe because you feel an obligation to help your friend avoid nauseatingly unctuous public expressions of piety?
and respect their beliefs?
Because that would be patronizing. We should never respect their beliefs. We can respect their right to believe whatever they want, while still thinking that it's a crock of shit.
Saying "lol gay", or "Do you know your boyfriend got his own mother pregnant?", or "is your name mary magdalene and i didn't know you was a hooker?" is hardly going to help them.
They are doing you no harm by believing and saying what they are. Just realise that people believe different things for different reasons and leave it at that.
First, I would never say any of those things.
Second, their belief may not directly do me any harm at the particular instant that the pious pronouncement is made, but that doesn't mean that the belief is harmless. There is too much tacit assent to religious stupidity, in my view, and challenging it, without attacking the person if possible, is to be encouraged. Believing that you "have a relationship with Jesus" is patently moronic for any reasonable definition of "relationship". I might be inclined to ask "What do you mean by 'relationship'?", for example, which challenges the stupid statement without being directly insulting. If the person infers insult, that's their problem.
[–]ImChristian 1 point2 points3 points 6 months ago
I would accept that your response, "What do you mean by 'relationship'" would be much more acceptable than the other suggestions on here. Personally, I am always willing to have a civilised discussion about my faith, but posting a clever comment to try to make the person look stupid is just immature.
[–]Caligapiscis 1 point2 points3 points 6 months ago
"lol gay"
Or if it's a girl, tell her that's lamer than saying she has a boyfriend in another country. Canada is the go-to one for Americans, right?
[–]ganner 3 points4 points5 points 6 months ago
Downvoted for "gay" as insult
[–]Caligapiscis 2 points3 points4 points 6 months ago
It was more of a character thing than anything else, hence my deliberate misuse of English.
Haha, I'd imagine it'd be one of those European countries, if I had to pick. But its very similar to the girl who has a boyfriend in insert state next to current state and it is hard to visit him sometimes.
[–]ehStuGatz -1 points0 points1 point 6 months ago
If it's a girl she's a necrophiliac, if it's a guy he's gay. End of story
