So, like, you’re acting like you’re being persecuted here.
this is not that.
It’s a simple fact that the majority of people using some form of “jesus” as an exclamation are Christians and they’re not being prejudicial towards themselves.
I am not going to obey your religious proscriptions. I’m certainly not going to be too bothered by it when you’re proscriptions are particularly rare, even among people who broadly share your faith.
If you want to be offended, that’s your problem. Insisting others modify their behavior is not appropriate. Especially since you’re equating it to “Christian’s are being killed.”
Fucking hell. You’re not being persecuted here. Probably not even wherever you are. And I’d be willing to bet you don’t know anyone who’s been killed because they were a Christian. Take a beat and chill.
I do not feel persecuted. I don’t like seeing “others” get ragged on, regardless. I should clarify: individuals who deserve it absolutely should get railed on; the distinction is when the ragging moves above the stage of the individual and to an entire class of individuals. The literal definition of a bigot is “One who is narrow-mindedly devoted to their own ideas and groups, and intolerant of (people of) differing ideas, races, genders, religions, politics, etc.” I did not make this definition up, nor it seems can I explain it to someone who does not want to know (as your hand-picking of some of my answers to directed questions, ignoring the larger context, would seem to to indicate: I know, reading is hard sometimes), so I will stop here. You may chalk it up to simply a misunderstanding or… whatever you like, I suppose.
