I’ve always been fairly live and let live about religion, and Christianity in particular - some Christians are annoying about it, sure, but most of them I have always assumed are just having their own faith and happy in turn to live and let live. The last few years though I’ve really come to despise Christianity in particular, and the majority of Christians as a result, because of shit like this. Christians on the while really do seem just completely incompatible with a live and let live attitude, they need their particular view on the world (regardless of how actually Christian is) to be the way of the world and they will use every tactic at their disposal to force it on the rest of us

All religions have zealots that gatekeep and threaten others to think the same way or die. It just happens to be Christians this time. Right now in other parts of the world, Hindi and Islam have the very same problems. I’m sure there’s some crazy Buddha sect but I just don’t want to fall into a zealot rabbit hole right now so I’m not going to look it up. But overwhelmingly this is the pattern for religions - be exciting, be inviting, guard the members, rule the members, die together (war or self harm).
If it weren’t for religion we would have mental health solved but the crazy people who become cult leaders convince enough people that the healers are the danger. Religion gives an equal voice to the insane.

Sure, and more generally I’m sick of religion, but Christianity is the one that has the biggest impact on my life and so it’s where all my disdain goes. I still don’t hate religion, fundamentally it’s religious people that I hate, and they’d only be using something else if religion didn’t exist. But fuck me do I have no patience for Christians these days
