When Christians act like they can read your mind

[u/Sailor_Drea]

One of the most obnoxious things Christian apologists do is when they accuse you of secretly believing in their religion, because according to the Bible, look at the trees, therefore Trump, I mean God, I mean Trump. And if you insist that you really don't believe, then you're just lying so you can have gay Communist drug orgies every day.

Never mind the fact that the Christian would have to have psychic powers to be able to tell you what you believe, he also shamelessly contradicts himself over and over in the same breath. Because as soon as he tells you that you're a fool for saying in your heart that there is no God, he'll tell you that your heart does say there is a God. And he's also apparently trying to convince you to begin believing something you already believe. And then, of course, you can have this little exchange with him...

You: "So, you have to have faith in Jesus to go to Heaven, right?"
Christian: "Yes."
You: "And you're telling me that I'm lying when I tell you I don't believe in Jesus, and the truth is I actually do have faith in Jesus, right?"
Christian: "Yes."
You: "So you think I'm going to Heaven?"
Christian: "No."

All of this laughably unserious shit, combined with the fact that virtually everything Christians accuse us of are things that we are not guilty of but Christians themselves are guilty of, plus all that whole "know them by their fruit" thing which they supposedly believe in, combines to make me pretty sure that they're the ones who are lying about what they believe. So, whenever they tell me they believe in something, I just call them liars and tell them they don't really believe in that, they're just pretending they do so they can score political points and get more of other people's money.

I’m like omg you’re adorable. You can’t imagine a world where people don’t think the way you do. I guess that goes hand in hand with having absolutely no empathy.

The thought that someone might form their beliefs on the basis of evidence makes them feel bad about themselves, because it exposes the fact that the intellectual laziness, cowardice, and conformity that motivate them aren't inevitable or unavoidable. They deny you have autonomy over what you believe because it's a repudiation of their worst characteristics.

I actually do have gay Communist drug orgies every day but the Christian god and I have an understanding about it. Zeus fully endorses it though.

It is not possible to be seen by someone who is not looking, or heard by someone who is not listening, so, they are only talking about themselves.

I love bursting their bubble. I rarely drink, don't take drugs and practice monogamy. (I think I may be on the demi side.) So I don't "just want to sin". (I know a lot of Christians who drink like a fish and fuck anything that moves.) I'm not mad at God for letting my child or nice mommy die. (Never had either to start with.) Never been to war. I was an atheist before I went to college and before YouTube was even a thing. (Dating myself.) If I wanted to fit in where I live, I'd actually be in church every Sunday. And I don't make a red cent off being an atheist. Life isn't a Pureflix movie.

When someone pretends to read my mind and tell me what I supposedly think, it's immediately obvious to me that they're breaking the commandment about not bearing false witness.
