The abusive father, who was never there for you: God.

[–]atz3ro 9 points10 points ago

I wonder how many times this is going to get reposted. I wish we could have a repost ticket counter in the right side bar.

There must be some kind of up vote bot or something.

Oh, is it this time of the day again?

[–]lukewasson 8 points9 points ago

god is a crazy ex-girlfriend. i finally understand.

[–]themarvelousangela 2 points3 points ago

Are these all quotes from the bible or saying people get out the religion?

[–]TheVich 2 points3 points ago

Well...this perfectly sums up a "friend" that I had. Creepy.

[–]Leviathan666 2 points3 points ago

My mind was just fucking blown by the connection it just made. I remember reading a post explaining in detail the tactics abusive partners use to keep their wife/girlfriend from leaving... I feel like i should have made this connection earlier. Religions use these same tactics...

[–]ccrazool 1 point2 points ago

@everyone in this thread complaining about how this is a repost... This guy right here who just got his mind blown is one of the good things about reposts. If even one mind is blown, it was worth it!

On topic, I agree... The day I realized that religion uses the same tactics as an abusive spouse was a good day. One more veil lifted.

[–]Leviathan666 1 point2 points ago

Reposts can be a good thing, especially for the newcomers. Ive been a part of r/atheism for months, but this particular point is new to me.

[–]studmuffffffin 1 point2 points ago

I think it's abusive boyfriend/girlfriend. Not parent.

[–]JBLovecrafty 1 point2 points ago

People who are theists say that their god loves them but what kind of love demands obedience or torture along with a set of rules that one side had no say in? I would say god is a bit insecure and needs to see someone about that....like Cthulhu maybe =)

This whole worshiping God thing... NOOOOOOOO THANKS, I'LL PASS. I do not wish to be someone's slave, nor do I wish to have to continually praise someone for being superior to me. I'll gladly chill on a bottle of Jack with the Devil, instead of sucking the dick of some homophobic douche bag for all eternity.

God is the hipster OAG, I get it~

[–]curelight 1 point2 points ago

... the weird thing is that my father has said a lot of those things to me and my siblings

[–]Znsale01 0 points1 point ago

Concept was good but I'd rather just read this in text.

[–]CanIAxeUaQuestion 0 points1 point ago

Repost. Original was about an abusive boyfriend, not parent.

[–]THEOTHERBRYAN 0 points1 point ago

The title could have been, "when you see it"

[–]uniden365 0 points1 point ago

Can i get conformation that all of these things are real? I'd rather not post this on Facebook and look like an imbecile later.

[–]sk4t4nic 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else just think of gamestop when they read this?

[–]ReturnThroughAether 0 points1 point ago

This repost is bad, and you should feel bad!

[–]nuchamploo 0 points1 point ago

I see what you did there.

[–]nexlux 0 points1 point ago

It's not any of what you folks have commented on - it's not an abusive boyfriend or father or mother -

God is simply a play on your own psyche, with another human being understanding this and using this knowledge to control you.

[–]bdemented -1 points0 points ago

jesus christ. another motherfucking repost. cancer.

[–]armeggedonCounselor -1 points0 points ago

More fuel to my theory that god is an abusive boyfriend.

[–]well_i_guess -1 points0 points ago

I mean really, none of these relate. Maybe number four? That's about it. Number six has a typo also.
