If what they believe is true, one day they may be forced to realize their mistakes.

    I am not a sinner.

    A sin is a transgression against a god. I do not believe any gods exist, therefore I have never sinned. Maybe I have done things people can accuse me of that are immoral or unethical or both, but I have never sinned.

    Christians are such hateful losers they completely ignore the ENTIRE POINT of the “son of God” suffering and dying for their sins.

    The ENTIRE POINT is we’re all sinners, and we all have a chance at redemption.

    This idea, while laudable, is laughably immature with failing to realize that Christians are still openly religous because they cannot forgive sinners for sinning.

    They specifically do not understand their own religion, or this would not have to be a sentiment at all.

    I was at a Pride event yesterday and considered asking the “god hates f**” crowd why my sin is their problem. Then I figured that would be giving them too much attention.

      Yeah, unless you’re particularly well equipped for that type of interaction, you’re unlikely to get any kind of satisfying outcome by asking them a question

      Those sorts of people have a lot of experience gish galloping, rationalizing their own contradictions, and feeling smug about whatever bullshit response they give.

      I don’t think their facade is impossible to engage with or break through, but it will always take more than one clever question to get there.

        Yea that was part of the decision. I wasn’t prepared enough to confront them out of the blue, but I was raised Catholic. I have an idea of how deep their “care” for us really is

      I can tell you what they would answer. They would say that they are desperate to save your soul from an eternity in hell. That’s what those bigots actually think.

    If sin is defined as anything that separates you from god….

    And god’s non-existence is what separates us….

    Then isn’t god the sinner here? Not me.

      The original sin wasn’t done by you yet you are blamed and supposed to get punished for it, so i assume the same goes for gods non-existence
