Or those few political lesbians who accuse you of gender treason for preferring men…
(may they be locked in a closet with fundies until one of them explodes)
To those that have been on the receiving end of this offensive garbage, I am sorry for your respective losses and sorry you were ever exposed to anyone who felt the need to use them as a pulpit.
If that nun is a nurse, shes licenced. Nurses are so valuable seeing one fired is pretty rare and they have little fear of it. If you need enforcement against legitimate mistreatment by a nurse, file a complaint with the licencing board for your state. If they lose their licence, they cannot work anywhere. Allowing patients to be harrassed by outside parties, for longer than it takes for security to arrive, is beyond my capacity for rational responses.
I try to qualify as a true Christian. I get harassed from both sides - fervent believers who think I’m doing it wrong and non believers who tell me I’m stupid for believing. It does leave a bad taste, and I tend to not want to hang out with either one.
Usually, I just keep my mouth shut unless asked. My beliefs are my own, they work for me, anyone who takes issue with them is welcome to not follow them.
As for the inane e-mails, I have a stated policy of blocking anyone who forwards me anything non “business” related. (if its on Snopes or is glurge of any sort, you get blocked.) Only my grandmother is exempt. (andshe does not misuse her privledge) Reply that you don’t appreciate lame c&p forwards and that if she really cared she’d send you a real e-mail outline her position. If she does, you can have a fun chat, if she doesn’t, life continues as normal, if she sends you another craptastic forward, you can block her.
See, that’s stupid. All those things—divorce (?), hatred, abuse, smoking, drinking, cursing, violence—are happening anyway. And the same people who pass on these kinds of messages also warn about Armageddon, which would be the “kill 'em after I’m done with 'em”. So by this logic, what good was the Crucifixion?
It also carries a heretical message that the crucifixion was a price paid to Satan rather than God.
To be fair, this heresy actually makes sense.
Of course, religions aren’t constrained by logic, but the whole notion of “sacrificing himself to himself to change his own rules” has stuck in many people’s craws.
You need to send her lots of porn. Lots and lots. Find the nastiest bukkake and anal sites in the internet, and send her a jpeg on every Sunday. Send her tons of links to Landover Baptist, disguised as typical Jesus Glurge, and see how long it takes for her to catch on. Tell her you want her carnally, and that you dream of her in a Satanic Feast of Flesh. etc.
Look, you could do the dignified thing and ignore her, but what’s the fun in that. She has provided you with all the justification you need to take this golden opportunity to really torment the deserving, and, frankly, I envy you that. Have fun, buddy!
Didja read this part, ya yutz?
Form the OP.
“Now, I am definitely NOT making fun of Christians. I believe that the TRUE Christian is one who accepts people for the way they are, and DOESN’T TRY TO FORCE ANYTHING ON THEIR FRIENDS OR ACQUAINTANCES.”
I had to go into a catholic hospital about 20 years ago to have my wisdom teeth out. They asked my religion, which they put on the ID bracelet. I told them “Druid” (I was forewarned by a friend who worked there). It actually worked – the nuns would grab my arm, look at the bracelet, then leave me alone.
My mother-in-law sent me the same e-mail. I am a Christian but it really ticks me off when she sends me this crap, especially the whole ‘if you don’t forward this e-mail you are not a good Christian’ bit. Excuse me? You know me, and you are honestly saying that my faith depends on whether I forward a chain letter? Give me a break. It offends me that she would reduce my beliefs into glurge and send me a ‘test’ like this.
Any forwards she sends me are now deleted and get no reply. I had to restrain myself from sending her a reply about that one, though. "Yes, mother-in-law, that e-mail really did make me stop and think! It made me stop and think you are an idiot!
See you at Christmas,
Love, your daughter-in-law.
Reply with a parable of your own. Maybe something like:
Here’s a thought - just like ‘Krab’ is really cheaper fish meat dressed up to taste and feel like expensive crab, why don’t we call these epistle-pushers Kristians? They act like Christians, but inside, where it really counts, well - their hearts are known.
Stiil, the OP doesn’t explain the ‘little whore’ part. Cite?
I’m particularly partial to “Neo-Pharisees,” myself. Following the letter of the law, but not the spirit.
Simple. Those practicing hate are blasted, those practicing love are defended.
