Don't you just hate it when people preach religion?

[DeathIsTheWayOut99]

My dad just told me "Just pray to god and he'll take care of all your needs"

BULLSHIT

Maybe its because I'm on my period/crabby mood. But my family lives as if they love god but they abuse each other

Ugh I hate people like my father I swear

 

[puppy9]

I loathe that so much. From the looks of how people treat each other, I think God is an asshole, narcissist, megalomaniac , and an asshole again.

 

[AnxietyAttack44]

I dont preach religion, but i love to talk about it because it actually comforts me.. So when i talk about it to someone else, im just really talking to myself, reminding myself that i will be ok. It will be ok for me. I sometimes go too deep into it as well,and too long, but only because i got into it.

In no way i ever want to enforce it on anyone. But it also brings me so much comfort that i cannot stop.. I lose sense of time.. Stopping brings pain back.

So im sorry to anyone if i ever do that to you. And im sorry for others who might do that to you for the same reason.

We get lost in the thought. Talking about it temporarily stops the pain. Just a little bit.

Sorry

Just to add, ppl do tell me to just pray away my pain, and i agree, thats wrong, annoying and arrogant. If person is suffering, such words will not bring any comfort. Theres time and spot for everything. So i hope people stop pushing idea of prayers to magicaly fix everything instantly. Just saying.

But in consented conversations i could talk too much. Sorry again.

 

[red_pen]

YES i get so tired of my mother telling me to pray more/saying that god will take care of things/referencing "faith".

it's like she doesn't realize that i have spent so much time praying for the tiniest of things to make my life easier (e.g. being able to focus on my lessons, not dealing with [x super secret very minor yet very troublesome socially medical issue]) and absolutely nothing good has come out of it.

don't think god gives a shit about what happens down here, tbh

 

[JD8080]

It's all bullshit ! Makes me so mad when someone tells me to pray and things will get better. Or the famous GOD doesn't give you more than you can handle bullshit

 

[Torbasco]

It's such an annoying tool that lazy people use to avoid personal responsibility. I respect peoples' faith, but I don't respect anyone who uses it as an excuse or cop-out for serious problems they should be handling themselves.

 

[DeathNoot]

I see that a lot, 'Jesus/God will save you'. Well he must have been on vacation when I was kid, because I was raised to believe in him and I still ended up here. No problem with those who believe, but I don't want it pushed on me like it's a cure.

 

[Broken Chimera]

If god gave half a damn, this world wouldn't be like this. Not one prayer ever prayed solved anything. And the people who say that usually don't care enough to actually do anything so they give you the god advice.

I'm tired of people saying that knowing that prayer has never helped anyone except to believe that an invisible man in the sky is going to help them. Then they get mad if you don't believe it. Sad.

 

[alizee]

To be born into a religious family is a curse that makes death be considered a reward.

 

[who doesn't matter]

Honestly, religion is now a "too bad that it's good" kind of thing for me. Kind of humours me now.

 

[Life_and_Death]

I'm fine with people having religions and their own beliefs and stuff. But when they start pushing it onto others and acting like it's the most important thing in the world then I get really annoyed. You can talk about your point of view but you can't make others see your point of view.

 

[Bct]

If praying works sure there will be no more suffering, but religious people will just deny why someone's praying didn't work by throwing excuses & bullshits.

 

[SpottedPanda]

I'm in a situation where I never have to hear about religion, and that's mostly been the case all my life. The only time I hear about religion is when I'm in the psyche ward, or if I go to the city center

 

[death unto me]

Very much, I'm from a very religious family- my mom joined convent but eventually left and met my dad, his father(my grandpa) regularly serve the church. So, just imagine all the preaching. They also sent me in a catholic institution for 14 years and I remember my religion teacher calling everyone who opposes the christian doctrine, devil incarnate/under the influence of satan. She also told the story that one time she was so hungry during the Eucharist because she forgot to eat but when she received the sacramental bread she felt full, she then continue to say that no one dies because of hunger because God will save us all.I mean, talk about brain washing and indoctrination. She also gave me a failing grade when I started to questioning the doctrine in one of my journals, wherein she told us that everything that will be written there will not be held against us.

Did you ask her if she would consider psychological therapy or something? Well, God doesn't cover medical bills.

I'm the same way. It comforts me but I don't push beliefs

 

[EraseRewind]

I'm no evangelist, my faith is for me and I believe that everyone should find their own pathway to faith and if they want too. I'm not a fan of religion because for me faith is different and does not rely on man made rhetoric and rules.

Ugh I hate people like my father I swear

Illogicality and hypocrisy is part of every religion.

Every time I hear religious people talking, I laugh my ass off :D

Oh hell yeah. if he was so loving and all knowing why the hell didn't he anticipate what you needed and provide for your needs before you had to ask?

I'm sure that victims of mass shootings have prayed for help. Never heard of a flash of lightening followed by a crash of thunder and all of a sudden everyone was saved.

Also, if his plan was so perfect and included fucking you over why would he change it just for you? The change to accommodate you would mean that his plan was not in fact perfect and that to get back on course he would have to change a whole lot of other things to get back to the original outcome.

 

[Stavrogin]

No, I find it interesting, as long as they are actually knowledgeable about their specific creed.

 

[Pryras]

My mother is religious but I am not. Yes she does give me the "just believe in god" affirmations and as another user mentioned it comforts her. I don't bother arguing or sharing my views because it gives her a semblance of peace. I don't hate it but I get annoyed when it's enforced on others. That all my problems were apart of gods plan and that by praying everything can be fixed (it won't)

 

[TAW122]

Oh yes, absolutely. I oftenly try to steer clear of such kinds of people. They are not only judgmental and arrogant, they are dismissive and annoying too with their preachy spiel about how to live life, how one must appreciate what one has, and what not. Furthermore, they use fear, threats, and shame to gain compliance and agreeance which is really disgusting, plus some are hypocrites (or rather a good amount of them) so I'm not even going to engage them when I can avoid them.

God = a butcher.
His only excuse is not to exist.

 

[bigdog]

My father was a complete psychopatic scum but he was really into god
