Indiana's Attorney General Todd Rokita launched a tool for parents to report "gender ideology" in schools. Users immediately began sending memes in protest,
What the fuck kind of question is “Remind me who murders people like you”?
I will remind you, you didn’t come into this conversation speaking calmly and plainly. You didn’t state your point in a respectful way that gave any benefit of the doubt as to where I was coming from, you flew in from left field to a reply I made to someone else with " Hey idiot, JESUS doesn’t EXIST!" sort of phrasing with the expectation that I was a Christian and your intention was to hurt and mock.
You engaged with every point I made from the perspective that I only deal and support with Christian groups and once I mentioned I was trans you started trying to use that to twist the knife and push your point. Then pulled the “Well I have a trans person in the family so I am not a bigot” routine. Heads up that flies about as well as the “Well I have a racial minority in the family”. It’s using your daughter in law as your justification, reducing her to a shield in your arsonal and that is also not okay.
My issue with you is not your beliefs. My issue is your angsty Christian Atheist teenager in full rebellion routine. Your rudeness and the anger that makes you lash out at even the mildest mention of “religion”. Would you have been so strident if I had been talking about Hinduism? Buddhism? Probably not because you make it pretty clear right off the bat you were hurt specifically and you have a score to settle and your aim is to give back whatever it is you got to anyone with even a fairly neutral opinion of Christians as a series of individuals. That isn’t an atheist perspective, it’s a trauma response. I used to behave the same way when I was a teen but I grew the fuck up and gathered some perspective and moved on with my life. I would hope you do the same.
