"I say this in love ❤️"

I fell for the oldest trick in the book.

My favorite thing ever has to be when Christians tell me about myself.

They tell me that I really do believe in God in my heart.

They tell me that I’ve never read the Bible.

Or that I didn’t understand it when I did.

Or that I’m gay.

Or that I’m single.

Or that I think about God 24/7 (they’ve never heard of content creation).

Or, if you’re Leah, you think that I’m mad.

Oh, Leah, I think that YOU (not me) have fallen for the oldest trick in the book.

The trick is that an evil fictional entity has the power to deceive us.

The book is the Bible.

A very common thing for Christians to do is tell me that I’ve been hurt by people, and that’s why I don’t believe in God.

That’s just silly. People hurt people, whether that’s in church or outside of it.

My church experiences were mostly good.

Answering to someone isn’t a problem. They think that we reject their theology so that we can live in sin. That’s just a weird thing to say.

You’re telling me that a God spoke to some goat herders in west Asia several thousand years ago, giving them rules to follow, and then, a few thousand years later, he sent his son/self to die so that we wouldn’t have to spend eternity without him, and, just because I don’t believe that, I’m mad that I have to answer to that God I don’t believe exists?

Makes no sense.

Leah, you don’t know me at all, but you do get a gold medal for condescension! 🥇

My goal is to quit my freelancing podcast editing services so that I can create better content to fight Christian nationalism. Every person who becomes a paid subscriber gets me closer to that goal. Are you in?

Remember: you don’t need a god to be good!!
