As a Christian, I approve.

... also I think you are just a bunch of Heretics. (tot talking about you over there, that really lives by 'love thy neighbour'!)
Thekindofkindlyman
“Neither an achievement nor a holiday” but don’t get this person started about the war on Christmas
IfYouDontChewBigRedThenFYou
I mean both these people are just throwing shit. No where does it say the original person was Christian
Rebullo
Or Jewish

takingupspace
Not wanting to be killed, denied housing/job, or denied the ability to choose a spouse does not equal special treatment.
YourFellowMan
That fixed’er right up
pixelpatron
Yes but most Christian’s are not even Christian’s. Makes me ashamed of my own religion.
pak0chu
We're all equally worthless
TrinDiesel
This same person would then go around demeaning lgbt people and making them feel like inferior beings.
FuzzyNuggets
NateLB
As a Christian, I agree, and if everyone of every walk of life acted as such, maybe we'd have less drama for no reason
MarsIsAfire
Religion is a choice - mostly picked by your parents but still a choice.
tracereading
That's just the thing THEY DON'T WANT TO BE TREATED DIFFERENT FOR BEING GAY.
NotUSAmerican
We survived being born gay. That's an accomplishment for many of us. Being christian AND an asshole is a choice.

who wrote the original crazy letter
RenegadeSci
I have no idea. Saw it on twitter and I'd never seen it before.
whooshy
Yo5ur can argue about Easter and Christmas
DarkZalgo
Neither of those are Christian in origin though.
whooshy
And there is part of the argument
DarkZalgo
It's hardly an argument if Christianity factually didn't start Christmas.
fractalsphere
Why do Christians think saying "god is on our side" makes them right?
ColdRice
Because every man thinks his way is right in his own eyes
Gorthax274
Also, with God's track record of massacres, famines, and unjustified death, why would having him "on your side" make you the good guy?
VictusVonGuyver
Because that's what you say when you kill your opposition so that there is no reply. Forced conversion, genocide, or simply ones neighbor.
Hyzenthlay021
CedricDur
It's easy to be 'on their side' when they are the ones deciding that it is on their side.
Rogahar
Every conquering army in history thought one God or the other was on their side.
fractalsphere
That statement kind of implies the GQP thinks they're a conquering force over liberal America, which does track with what they're doing.
Rogahar
That's exactly what they think - at least, what they've convinced the mooks to think. The people at the top are (mostly) entirely aware >
Rogahar
> that God, like their pretend belief in him, isn't real - but they just need to convince the rank and file that they believe and that's >
Rogahar

Yoganmahew
It is holidays though...
MrJDMSupra
DonteHaversham
Christian holidays are just a hodgepodge of rebranded pagan traditions, now consumerised for maximum profit. It's nice to see family though.
FuzzBall87
Such a perfect reference
HelloMax
Both versions are 100% correct.
MissPhoenix56
Ask why nobody “comes out” as Christian. While it’s right being gay isn’t an accomplishment, coming out does take a certain level of courage
Gorzine
This is sadly very true, and we're only talking countries were being gay is tolerated...
HelpMeImSpiraling
I agree but the ideal end goal should be that it should not require courage to simply be who you are. Far from it though.
ZippidyDooDa
As a Christian lesbian both these hurts - I just want to be here. I get the retaliation, but this fight hurts
dontrike
Hurts how? I'm not sure how you can be gay and be part of a group that wants you dead.
ZippidyDooDa
Thank you for asking. Like, in every religion there are more and less aggressive versions, most obviously: Muslims and Islamist… my version
ZippidyDooDa
Believes my relationship between me and God isn’t really for them to judge - so honestly, I feel more judged by society in general.
dontrike
That does tend to happen when you have a conflict as glaring as that.
amipretty
Yeah, Can't understand your faith - in what? The Bible Intolerant, Sexist,
Oppressive and Homophobic.
ZippidyDooDa
I did not ask you to understand, I asked you to empathize. These are coincidentally almost the words used when I came out.
amipretty
I try to understand ....but, how could you read a book that says your god wants his followers to kill you and your kind.
ZippidyDooDa
That’s is super cool ?. I think the most important thing about others believes is that they are not for you to judge. It is very personal to
ZippidyDooDa
I’m sorry I went out on a rant, but you seemed cool. I don’t think you could explain Big Bang here either (I am an engineer too - so believe
LiterallyLordSatan
Literally no gay person wants special treatment. They just want equal protection under the law.
unannouncedguest
yeah because the law protects people so well in a america and across the globe
FarkasMacTavish
That's like saying a bike helmet doesn't protect you 100%. It's better than nothing.
MikePowers
Equal? That's just too much! (Klepper)
YouWontRemember
Wow. 200 upvotes for total lack of knowledge of basic human behaviour. Emotional responses No matter the facts are so hot in imgur
acuteavocado7
im fucking sick of special treatment. i want the opposite of special treatment. i want it to be normal and people pay me no mind
spookyu
I promise I'd ignore the living fuck out of you as I do with most people lol
acuteavocado7
we have to be loud and active and draw attention to it BECAUSE people wont leave us alone and treat us normally
SatelliteFive
This. As a Woman of Trans Experience with a restraining order against the decon at the local baptist church please just leave me alone.
mikeyMN
Well spoken. I love this.
mikeyMN
It's awesome cause on xbox I can still call you gay and that I did your mom, but now 1 of them is true cause everyone knows I'm incompetent.
HandBear
There are a lot of people who want special treatment. This is not exclusive to any specific group, a lot of people are like this.
pairou
I want special treatment. Not for being gay, just in general.

JamShady
Tell that to the ones who made it so I don't get a father's day card from my kids (school), I got a "special person" card instead
MarsIsAfire
Dude, you're not special for fathering a child. That's so hilarious that you need a thankyou card to show this as some great achievement lol
JamShady
Way to completely miss the point!
MarsIsAfire
You're a bigot. I didn't miss the point.
JamShady
Yes, thank you. You're certainly not when you claim to understand what the other person says, despite them saying you didn't
Goryofa
"sorry, you cannot be by your wife's bedside, ma'am, but jamshady needs the words 'father's day' on personal messages from his child."
JamShady
And therein is the problem, the two things are unrelated. How does a father's day card offend to the point where they're not allowed now?
Goryofa
They're allowed. They just aren't being mandated on school children. These are, as you say, two different things.
JamShady
They are, because the same elements of society insist that everyday language needs to be changed to suit them, that's overreach
RabbitRevenge
If vegans get superpowers and Christion's get preferential treatment... what do atheists get?

MisuseOfLiterally
meh, chances hell exists is probably even lower (like non-existent) + if it actually exists, I except to see more christians in hell than/1
MisuseOfLiterally
atheists. IF theres such a thing as stupid as heaven and hell, I will assume your goodness, not your beliefs, will be the deciding factor
andwings2go
Or the scripts were flipped and Hell is a party.
MisuseOfLiterally
yeah sure whatever. its about as believable as hell being a torture realm
Strostkovy
Consensual sodomy and free sundays
Fnarrrr
not sure about the getting- can i have the giving option instead?
SuckerOfFun
Sodomy is technically any type of sexual intercourse that doesn't lead to pregnancy, so I don't think wanna avoid getting ALLL of it. ;)
CogYang
Sodomy is a word that will always make me giggle slightly when I read it. Doodly boop
RabbitRevenge
and sometimes you can just dip the tip in the Sunday and make things interesting...

Two of my favorite things

Weekends really did get a hell of a lot better once I became atheist.

Dreigiau
Barred from holding public office in 8 states
pairou
Wait what
Dreigiau
Yep. It's in contravention to the Constitution, but 8 states instituted laws banning atheists (or non-christians) from holding public office
Dreigiau
AR, MD, MS, NC, PN, SC, TN, and TX
Dreigiau
*correction: PA not PN
Dreigiau
PA differs from the others in that believers cannot be disqualified from holding office for their belief, but not atheists

People whining about vegans are so much more annoying that any vegan I've ever met.
RabbitRevenge
and there is the vegan... or perhaps just a person with no sense of humor?

Not vegan, just tired of unoriginal whining about them

The new pope says atheists go to heaven. *shrug*
Neurisko
Heaven is a warm, comforting fantasy if you're into that sort of thing.
eigeress
Are we on the same tier of heaven, or are we there to serve hors d'oeuvre and clean up shit? Sounds like a trap.
GravyEducation
What if I don't want to go to heaven
Wyrdbunny
Right!? Heaven is going to be filled with a bunch of assholes I detest apparently. I'd rather rot and serve a purpose.
Isiel89
If the Christian mythos were real, I’d much rather be in hell with real people than those fake, only kind because a sky dad said so people.

Then turn right at the sign that says "turn left to go to heaven".

Hell is always up for a party.

i mean hell is only bad if you DONT enjoy it.. and given a eternity i think i could learn to enjoy anything ;D

I like warmth a whole shitload better than cold. But since a benevolent and loving god would never send his creations to torment...✨

Really? Do you enjoy the slice of eternity you've experienced so far?
