I'm almost certain that xtians and other religions that think there's a sort of apocalypse looming are actually denying climate change not because they believe it is a conspiracy but they actually want the world to end. I mean, what a confirmation of your faith? #religion #climateCrisis
My mom has hoped for this or to die so that she can join my dad...wherever his soul may or may not be.
And then, of course, she laments that the whole family won't be reunited because; I'm Pagan, oldest brother is Aethist, and middle-brother...who the fuck knows what he believes.
π I either ignore what she's said, change the topic as sneakily as I can, or shrug and say, "Yep."
What I really want to say is, "WTF would I want to be reunited with all of you after I pass away? Fuck that shit! I'm coming back as an elephant, thank you very much!"
@see_the_sus @scottyorange You could ask her if she thinks God who created the Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindu, Buddhists, atheists, and Pagans, loves his creations. Does he punish them for being as he created them?
Nah, it's not worth it. She'll never accept anything but Catholicism because she doesn't believe it and Christianity are the same. I even told her, "Mom, Christianity is nothing more than believing that Christ is the saviour, which, last I checked describes Catholics." She just does her norman, "It's not the same" song and dance. I do my best to ignore what she's saying and not engage.
I've already been told I'm going to more than once.
@see_the_sus @scottyorange Depending on what she believes heaven is, you could break her brain by pointing out that everyone has to go to heaven because it couldn't possibly be eternal bliss if she's missing her family that never made it.
