What Christian phrase annoys you the most?
Blessed are the nonbelievers, for they've figured out how to shed that nonsense.
I haven’t voted, because they are all equally inane. As someone who has never had a belief in any religion they actually don’t even register on my consciousness. The one thing I have found curious since coming into this community on Angostics is how much annoyance these sort of remarks cause you. They are all around me too, they are meaningless and so they don’t warrant any attention from me. I went to church on Tuesday morning, it was a Catholic Mass in memorial for my best friend who died two years ago. Whilst the priest was incanting and the congregation were replying and bobbing up and down, I was actually remembering my friend and the good times we enjoyed together, and actually shed a tear or two. Just let all this wash over you dear friends, and feel sorry for your more religious friends that they can’t feel what we feel, freed from the tyranny of dogma.
the blessed one is the only one i've ever actually heard! i always get "i'll pray for you" after i've already said i'm an atheist. amazingly enough, as a jew i also encounter "how can you not believe in jesus? he was a jew!" i always reply "so am i. so worship me. wear a fat little old lady on a chain around your neck." i shouldn't be surprised by circular logic from christians but that one is so funny (and frustrating).
