Thank for ruining what was a humorous discussion.
“Thanks for ruining what was a humorous discussion.”
Everyday of your life has probably been that day. STFU.

“Another HP story: the summer that OotP came out (I was 16), I was visiting my very conservative/religious aunt and uncle. One day we went to a B&N and I mentioned that I had pre-ordered the book and my aunt flipped out on me. The rest of the way back to their house I was lectured on how it is a demonic book and will plant bad ideas. I kept thinking, it’s just a book. It’s...
Hypocritical Christians
“There’s a dude who runs a film company on my FB (don’t ask why we’re friends) and this was his status recently: ‘As Christians basic kindness and respect is the minimum that we should be projecting…’ REALLY ironic, because a few months ago, he mocked me for having a different perspective on Christianity, told me I was going to hell and also insulted me...
“During my first year of college, two of my high school classmates died. I went to a small high school, so we all knew these girls and there were all the predictable God-related statuses and stuff about “see you in heaven!” The first girl who died was a strong Christian so it made sense, but the second was an atheist. I get everyone processes grief differently, but it seems...

“The other day my mum and I were talking about religion (mostly Christianity) and I told her about how I got into a fight at school with another girl over religion. I told her that I didn’t believe in anything and that I didn’t want to. My mum says to me that it’s okay, I can believe in anything I want as long as they worship God. I told her that no, your telling me that I...
“I was brought up by a Christian family. They never really went to church or prayed but they claimed to believe in God. I was baptized when I was 6 months old, so being young and innocent I also claimed to be a Christian for the first few years of my life. When I hit 10, I started to see the world for what it really was and I stopped believing in God, thinking that no kind man would let the...

“My mayor’s wife committed suicide after being depressed and the preacher who spoke at her funeral called her weak and said she needed more church.”
Wow.

“On the topic of Harry Potter - My grandmother was never very religious until the past ten or fifteen years, when suddenly she became extremely religious, and extremely judgmental of others.
“Once while visiting her when I was ten or so, I was reading a Harry Potter book. She went nuts, telling my parents that I was practicing witchcraft and that I was a demon (yes, she seriously said...
“My cousin’s 7 month old nephew just passed away yesterday, not even sure as to how but clearly not of old age. It is terrible and I feel so bad for her and am at a loss as to what to say. What do you say?
However, every other person keeps facebooking her with PRAY..PRAY PRAY PRAY!!! I get that it’s hard to find something comforting to say but everyone with the Jesus juice!? You...
I have yet to meet someone who was embarrassed to let me know that.

“Speaking of proselytizing at funerals, when my dad’s cousin died the pastor officiating the funeral began with the normal funeral type offerings—speaking of my cousin’s life, having family say a few words, offering prayers, etc. But after that he began talking about how my cousin had accepted God at the end (he died of cancer) and that we should all think about being...
“My friend got a taxi home from Dublin city last night and ended up with this literature and a lecture to from the taxi driver. Needless to say she fell asleep during the sermon..”

“I grew up across the street from a nondenominational christian family who had a daughter the same age as I and a younger daughter. My parents are non practicing lutherans, so the neighbors would take me to church, Awanas, youth group, and so on with my parents’ approval. Around the age of 12 I became pagan. When I turned 16, my parents divorced and I went a little wild. My boyfriend...
“When my great-grandmother died when she was 99 (!!), her SON gave her eulogy (1 of 5 children.) When my great-grandmother was alive, apparently she wasn’t the nicest person. She didn’t like that my grandma married a Catholic (my grandpa) and made her distaste known. At her funeral, her son gave the most demeaning eulogy in the history of eulogies. He stated how much she had...
“When I was in college, I worked in an office part-time. I’m a giant Harry Potter fan and had a Potter-themed wallpaper as the background of my computer. One of my co-workers, who I normally got along with well, noticed my wallpaper and proceeded to lecture me on how I was supporting witchcraft and the devil. I said, quite nicely, that the series is pure fantasy and is rather positive...
