I’m new to my faith, so this is probably obvious to some of you, but why are people so passionate about asserting that they don’t believe in Christ? I don’t hear people respond to a Buddhist, “I don’t believe in that.” Or anyone else, really. But let someone know that you believe in Christ and so many people’s knee jerk reaction is to suddenly blurt out tha they they don’t believe. I didn’t ask them. I don’t evangelize in an obvious way. I have discussions, in part, to parse out and understand what I think, or what I’ve experienced, because it’s an interesting relationship that I have with God. And it’s even with people that care about me. They’re suddenly focused on their own disbelief rather than maybe being curious. They make my faith about themselves in a way that doesn’t fit with the rest of their personality. It’s only on this subject. Nevermind. I think I figured it out. They are trained to say that. I must be onto something. Flack over the target, I guess. Fucking balls. We humans are easy prey. Go on about your day, or maybe tell me about how you don’t believe in Christ. I’m super curious about all the shit you DON’T believe. Because that certainly makes for interesting and productive conversation.

They are more upset at you for going against the grain and rocking the boat. Liking Jesus is so strange to people that they find it offensive. They have been conditioned to think Christians are intolerant, unintelligent, etc, a lot of other bad things so they immediately think you are those things.

I was atheist, militant at one point but I saw all the things I was told Christians were were actually liberals and atheists. I also saw that no liberals were volunteering or actually helping people beyond bullshit virtue signalling social media shit. I volunteered in one of the bluest areas of the country and it was almost all Christians feeding the hungry and clothing the poor. All those rainbow flagged, mustachioed dicksmoker Hillary lovers don't really give a fuck about anyone, even if they are the right color. I saw Christians helping people in a place that constantly talked shit about them. Though I never hated them, it changed my view drastically. Like everything else people hate and are afraid because they believe what is told to them rather than what they see with their own eyes.
