Absolutely.
A few years ago, there were two phrases being kicked around. Black Lives Matter, and All Lives Matter.
To many white people, All Lives Matter sounded like a positive message, but the black people understood it for what it really was: “Fuck your black lives.”

I heard a good way to call out that bullshit.
The next time the person says something about their particular god, say “All Gods Matter”. It throws them into a tizzy because how dare you. Yup, welcome to what it feels like.

It’s all about phrasing it a way where they say “no, you can’t say that”, and you say “yes, exactly”

Or, all gods matter the same - which is to say: they don’t.
