I dare one of them to show up to my front door. They are going to be in for a fucked up conversation that will make them second guess their life choices.
One stopped by my house last week. I told them this is an atheist household and the bible is a fictional story book, no offense. I quite enjoyed the face they made.
My favorite interaction was on a college campus. They had set up a table and were telling every passerby “Jesus loves you!” So I cheerfully returned “and Allah loves you!”
I will forever cherish the physical recoil and look of revulsion that crossed their faces. I’m an atheist, for context
Funny stuff religions are. The Allah of the Muslims and the Yaweh of Israel is the same God. The split comes from the segregation of the people back then. Which just confirms my point. None of them investigate, and just follow whatever their "leaders" say without ever thinking to question anything."Go house by house and say THIS. Do not deviate from the script." They're like cattle, seriously.
In my younger days told a Jehova's Witness that Jesus was my favorite fictional character because he had the coolest superpowers. They went from overjoyed that I was engaging with them to Charlie Brown sad walking away in the space of a sentence.
These days I'd probably be more rude but less offensive.
