baldingpudenda,

Joel Osteen, Pastor “They label us as close-minded and powerful, when really we’re just a tax front.”

Lmao, never forget, when his city needed shelters, he kept the stadium turned church closed until he was shamed into letting some in.

Bakkoda,

And the church received pretty massive ppp loans if i remember correctly

gregorum,

Which the pastors quickly converted into private jets. Ya know… for Jesus!

“The ostracizing looks I get while patrolling drag brunches with my AR-15 make me feel like a second-class citizen.”

“They’re always rubbing the silence of an indifferent universe into our faces.”

“They mind their own business, which is super passive-aggressive.”

“Sometimes I just want to walk up to these counterprotesters and say, ‘Let people live their lives.’”

“They won’t even let us burn all their books!”

“They cynically use basic logic and rational thought to make me question my deeply held beliefs, knowing full well I don’t want to do that.”

“Atheists have oppressed us to the point where I can only practice my religion at home, at church, at city council meetings, with my family, at work, in my car, with friends, at the mall, and in public parks.”

“Anyone existing in a different way is harmful to me somehow.”

The Onion is getting lazy. They’re supposed to be writing satire, but they are just getting quotes from actual Christians.

"the fact that they exist at all is just kinda insulting when you think about it"

Scubus,

“They cynically use basic logic and rational thought to make me question my deeply held beliefs, knowing full well I don’t want to do that.”

Ok that’s fuckin hilarious tho

SinningStromgald,

What better satire is there than actual Christians?

tygerprints,

OHHH boo hoo, atheists are "bullies," but "christians" and their hatefilled missionaries telling the world how wrong everyone is for not being christian, are somehow not bullies. "Christians," with their hate-filled ideology of otherism, of anti-human war mongering, of casting down everyone who doesnt' believe as they do - oh no, THEY'RE NOT BULLIES. Frankly they deserve contempt at every turn.

“They’re always stuffing me in a tomb for three days.”

This is metaphorical right?

tygerprints,

I can't think of any personal stuffing I'd enjoy for three days straight. (well - it wouldn't be straight, technically).

Satirical, certainly.

Coasting0942,

“I’m guessing it has to do with differing interpretations of Eleazar’s martyrdom in 2 Maccabees, which, honestly, I can sympathize with.”

DreamAccountant,

They will complain about persecution as they scream at your kid that they’re going to hell for playing a video game.

Religions are lies, and religious people lie as a part of their religion. Any lie to advance their delusional death cult hate fiction is acceptable, and expected of them by their religious leaders.
