I astounds me that alternate religions like Jainism, Buddhism are so accepted here but to believe in the mainstream religions a person must be a delusional twat
yeah... we see how enlightening psychedelics and education are
I deal with these vicious mutants often on my college campus. They're not preaching the words and teachings of Christ (I'm personally a Jeffersonian-esque Christian - Jesus of Nazareth was a righteous guy, but I don't believe he was the son of God) but rather, decrying what they see as moral debauchery on college campuses. They're trying to make young people feel bad for being themselves, yelling about how we're going to hell for practicing the sins of homosexuality/promiscuity/etc.
They rant about the Old Testament in all its baby-murdering glory. There is no love or tolerance in what they have to say. To put it bluntly - they're trolls.

A lot of people object to the constant proselytizing and the heavy involvement of evangelical Christianity in U.S. politics. I am one of those people. That said, there are a lot of people here who are just uniformly hateful and scornful of Christianity in general, and to me that is an unhealthy attitude that doesn't represent any kind of intellectual superiority or transcendence. That to me is being caught in the same kind of appeal to base emotions that people criticize Christianity for using to negative ends.
That's why I love Jehova's Witnesses.
One Saturday morning, I was waking up to put something in my car. I had just vaped a fat bowl pack of nug with my coffee. I opened the front door and two Jehova's Witnesses are on the door step. They just wanted to hand me some literature and they peaced out. I thumbed through it and saw that it's against their beliefs to involve themselves in politics. In fact, a good Jehova's Witness isn't even allowed to vote.
