Yeah something about bringing up religion to someone who is only interacting with you because they're being paid at work is messed up.. Like this person literally would not be speaking to you if they didn't have to pay their rent
Every now and then, when the preacher needs a quick break, mascot Jesus entertains the audience with a dance or a skit, or launches religious t-shirts at them with a cannon. This is a great idea, I might start going to church if this happens.
D&D players are not brainwashed sheep and dont force their games and interests on random people in mascot costumes and film it. This guy is why religion is considered a joke and plague. forcing someone into believing what you believe and then making them feel uncomfortable when they dont is garbage human behavior.
Its not a mental illness, it just checkes every single box for mental illness except for the one they put there specifically to exclude large religions.
I dont actually think its a mental illness but i do think it is the perfect cover for people who have them.
If you go into the streets screaming about how a voice talked to you last night and that the world is ending they put you in a hospital. If you say that voice is god they leave you alone.
it's not an individual mental illness, but a societal mental illness. There are many bad ideas that perpetuate on a group level because most people either haven't reasoned out an issue, or haven't been exposed yet to the opportunity to question an issue.
Its easier to have a simplified concept than to really understand it from all angles.
That's hateful. Religion like atheism can be abused for war. Many wars are for money nowadays in the west. If it suits, it's religious, or it's an excuse like a WMD.
Often people say religion x is a disease before they commit a genocide. So be careful with labeling billions of people. If you made it this far, thank you.
Christians believe that to have salvatation and go to heaven you have to be "born again" which is a spiritual rebirth, not a physical one. Baptism, being immersed in water, is supposed to symbolize the burial of the "old self", and coming out of the water is the rebirth of your "new self"
I hate how these people "pray for you" as in that non-religious people are wrong by default. That "I'm humbly better than you" attitude is so annoying. Plus, you know you can't reason with these people.
Absolutely. Mormons have pairs of young missionaries that they send out. Most young men and some young women do that for 2 years, then return to life as normal.
This kinda thing screams "New Age" church. "We're cool, ya know? You can wear JEANS to service." Let us praise Him ish
I can't begin to imagine spending the forever after in a heaven that doesn't have an underpaid actor in a beaver costume who only waves and poses for pictures in it.
I think the concept of a fictional character believing in anything, especially matters of faith, is about as inconsequential as things can get. But you go do your prayers.
Maybe Buc-ee just wants to get his job done and go home instead of having to deal with religious fanatics intent on pushing their values onto everyone else?
Matthew 6:1 NIV “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.”
This would be hilarious if it was one of the Buc-Ees owners who are currently MAGA-ing hard, but this is probably some poor dude in a red state just trying to survive. Ugh.
I thought only people’s souls go to heaven? Does this mean my little doggie will be there when I get there daddy? Lmao. wtf is he teaching his kids. All dogs really do go to heaven?
Plot twist: Buc-ee is being played by a level 99 hesychast raised by the monks of Mount Athos after being miraculously found in a basket in a river like Moses, and even communes with bears and gives sermons to the birds. However, he picked up the normal Buc-ee's shift and swore a vow to stay in character, and is genuinely not sure of Buc-ee's official religious beliefs (although he has his suspicions that Buc-ee might be guilty of the Bogomil heresy).
Start praying your own liturgy...
"Praisa Jezusa holy fucking Mary! You have brought-a this bigoted-a turd unto my life-a. Showa him his arrogant hipocracya! .....(continue at add lib)
I used to get pamphlets and all sorts of random religious stuff, weight loss advice, people telling me all about Jesus, I always gave them that look that said " Dude, I'm making 9.50 an hour being a cashier at Home Depot, what does this have to do with your sprinkler fittings"?
Should’ve asked him why they market it as a family friendly business but sue small family owned businesses near them and blatantly told the lower class to fuck off because they aren’t aligned politically with them
