    Yeah it’s all performative. I know a few people who are very well taught in christian scriptures and none of them do that kind of shit, or are an active member of any church, for the ones that do believe in God. Even after talking about religion with them for an hour you could think they’re actually atheists

      extra annoying is that these half-assed protestants have gotten to my mom, now she won’t stop trying to “convert” me in ever more annoying ways.

      she’s never been seriously religious, she’s just…old, isolated because her immediate family broke apart (9 siblings but none of them live close to each other, but also self-inflicted, moving out to bumfuck nowhere), and probably scared of dying like any sane human is.

      i don’t care so much about her fleeing to religion to deal with fear of death…but tthese chucklefuck protestants don’t help with the fear of death they just make it even worse by convincing you any family members that don’t join along will burn in hell…which if she found a denomination that was slightly less crazy wouldnt be an issue
