The Crazy side of Christian Social Media.. 🤯

Let's look at some weird and strange clips from the world of Christianity on line. but not just your regular normal Christians.. these people are ... a little bit weird.

[@Robert_Reacts]

My camera cut me off at an important point I was making (it only records for 30 minutes then you have to start again) Regarding the “saved from being gay” people. I know 3 people in real life, 3 men, who went through feeling they couldn’t be gay because of their religion (not all Christians) and were “saved” they then went on to marry women and had children. Later into their relationship they realised there is no such thing as being “ex gay” and divorced their wives because … they are gay . By trying to “improve” these men’s lives they have in turn potentially ruined others along the way.

[@judymcdougall]

I agree I feel badly for anyone who can’t be who they are. Why can’t people be who they are. This hurts me so badly I have many gay friends men and women I’m happy they can express themselves and be who they are ♥️

[@tendaspaghettaroni7183]

The screaming, pray over you Bible thumpers are so cringy, I believe in a higher power, just don't believe it's who or what they say it is. And all them "I am delivert, I'm not gay no more" folks are the very ones bent over for the preachers and deacons in basements, while his wife and kids are tucked away in the pews upstairs 🤭 cuz they believe if they tell the lie enough they'll be able to convince themselves and everyone else, instead of being who tf they are 🙄 😒

[@christapoling1877]

I just don't want people telling/yelling at me what I should or should not believe. I had someone I know post a picture of a man in a dress on FB and say, " What is this world coming to? God has to be disappointed in us" So my response was a photo of Jesus in what some might consider a dress and wrote, "Yeah I know he wore it better." Not sure why he unfriended me 😂😂

[@tins369]

I really h*te all the saving missions. Like you said, people are born this way. Why do people who believe in a book mean their opinion about sexuality matters more? And worse: I know a guy, he used to be a friend of mine AND the best friend of a dear friend of mine (who came out to me 2 years ago). This person once said "if God had wanted men to love each other, they would be able to have children" we got in a huge fight, because he's one of those occasional christians, who only go to church at Christmas (if at all) and then he comes up with god as an argument???? I didn't know at that time that my friend was gay, but I'm glad I fought with the other person, so my friend knew he could trust me. I'm a born Christian, and I have problems not to believe in any kind of god because I was raised to believe. But I definitely don't believe in the church. People act really blind the more they believe in God.

[@VanessaFallens-nt3gx]

the mentality that some people have about knowing what's best for other people is very dangerous and often results in hurting others and I hate the way so many people use these mentalities to control other people.

[@kindseyvaughn8667]

I agree with my great-grandfather, “if I wanted to be in a room full of bigger hypocrites than me I would go to church.”

[@dtb8663]

😂 Love this!

[@harliezB]

My grandmother was raised souther Baptist and HATED church. She was a religious woman. Especially in her final days. But she was privately religious. She said growing up she'd watch people go out on Friday and Saturday night, drinking, cheating on their spouses, beating their wife and kids, doing all manner of awful things. Then they'd slink into church on Sunday in their best clothes, hungover and acting holier than thou. Like you couldn't smell the booze on their breathe or see the bruises on their wife and kids. Turned her off all organized religion. She believed her relationship with God was just that, between her and her God.

[@vikkilooper4075]

​@harliezB your grandmother was a smart woman!

[@mollyapteros]

@@harliezB my great grandfather was literally a presbyterian minister and he cheated on his wife (who bore him like 7 kids) and then ran off with the church organist, totally abandoning all of them. He worked at like 5 different churches in the US and Canada. The fact that he was a religious leader and people looked up to him with blind faith is sickening.

[@Charlie.M.Green1905]

@@harliezB My great grandmother was raised Roman Catholic, and raised my grandmother the same way but once she could make her own choices my grandmother left the church... I didn't grow up in a religion because my grandmother says it's BS and doesn't believe in anything she can't see... I let people believe what they believe as long as they are respectful and such.. I personally identify as a Pagan these days.

When I was in college a guy set up a milk crate and started screaming into a megaphone that God is love but we were all going to hell because of our choices (he was listing education, sex, being a woman, sexuality, you name it) we would never be forgiven and were all going to hell. It got to the point the police showed up and had to break up the crowd who was screaming back at him to get off campus, the college Christian club made signs protesting him. It was wild.

BOTH parties suffer and idk it’s wild to me that you see forced heterosexuality as the gay man trying to bamboozle ppl like Jesus Christ . You’ve told on yourself tbh

[@wingsablaze8386]

Sometimes I know it isn't too bad, mainly cause some of those 'healed' gay men are actually just bisexuals who don't know that bisexuality is a thing.

[@lethfuil]

​@@wingsablaze8386 Given that in many ancient (and even not so ancient) civilizations/society bisexuality was basically seen as the default (for example there's greek and roman texts making fun of people who just like the other gender instead of both. They where called weird, pitifully and crazy. Purely gay often wasn't officially allowed, but that's another story, the point is that straight was openly belittled. (Which also isn't right! But that's also not the point)) I'd bet it's preeetty common. And my theory is that at least the absolute majority of people that think being gay is a choice do think so, because they could actively chose to only get intimate with the opposite gender. Because they're bi, without knowing so.

He said he was a drug addict for eight years so I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess it’s charges from that time. If one were to be extra cynical, I’d say this religious persona is his attempt to stay out of jail or keep from going back. It’s all way too over the top and performative. That would also explain the public defender’s irritated response. He doesn’t want to be a part of his charade.

I also agree that you cannot "pray the gay away." Why would you want to? God lovingly made you exactly as you are and told us his greatest gift is LOVE! I say be who you are and if God blesses you with a partner that loves you, regardless of your sexuality, be thankful for that blessing. ❤

[@Charoke]

Exactly this!!! To me, my faith is very personal. I dont talk a lot about it except for in situations like this. This is why people get scared of religion or view religious people as insane!! I believe being born gay is how they were meant to be in God's eyes. There is no praying the gay away! I have gay friends, my best friend is a buddhist. I talk about my faith to people I trust but no one else simply because it is so personal for me. It scares me when Christians get loud and insane and scream in peoples' faces that God loves them/they go to hell if they dont do a/b/c etc. I really dont like that!

I'm a person of (Christian) faith, but I take exception with people who think you must make even the tiniest things religious, to the point of obsession. It can really make you crazy. I had someone tell me, when I was a teen, I should control my thoughts. This led to obsessive and intrusive thoughts and a form of OCD called scrupulosity. I struggle with this every day of my life. I still believe in God and Jesus but am deconstructing from organized religion. I also do not judge anyone. I know that I cannot know the mind of God and I am not God. I just try to live the best life I can and love everyone. The information for any religion is prevalent and I think trying to evangelize really does more harm than good. JMHO.

That guy is studying to be a doctor, why is he being labelled a ‘bad guy’ it’s one of the hardest jobs and he’s gonna help so many people but just because he wears gothic styling he needs saving…he’s gonna do more in his life to ease the suffering of people than that social media praying guy is wouldn’t you think.

Sounds like that first guy is suffering from some very real mental issues - possibly related to the accident he mentioned and his past substance abuse. Don't blame his lawyer for shutting it all down real fast.

"What do I believe in? ...looking through a book of adoptable puppies-" Relatable, sir. Very relatable.

[@FeelTheRainOnYourSkin]

I absolutely agree with you about addictions and faith. I had a few yoga teachers who were very very veryyyy devoted to yoga. When students were not as devoted or had questions, they often felt that their faith in yoga was being put down or whatever. When I find out they've had addiction in the past... I had to back away cuz replacing drugs with yoga is one thing. That's their choice, but being upset with others for not being as into it as them... I'm good, I don't need that manipulation.

This unlocked a memory from high school. There was this guy who everyone knew was gay. He knew he was gay. He wasn't bi either. BUT he married a woman because of his religion. I really hope he's doing alright. I feel bad for them both.

Cops aren't great at handling people who are having mental or emotional problems. I think it's important to separate discomfort from actual danger and, if possible, avoid escalating the situation by calling police.

[@stina9659]

I volunteer in my church, we do food bank, lonely elderly people social groups, we do sorrow groups, we do AA ect. But the thing I absolutely do not agree with, is some of the insane people in that Christians society thinks we have to talk the gay away. Im like you cannot talk me from loving my husband, so why do you think you could talk other people to not love an other person?! Theres literally animals that has same sex relations, and sex between 2 adults that both agree, is non of other peoples business.

[@what.the.whatever]

Yeah some Christians fail to realize that we are called to love everyone as God loves us

[@gaia7240]

In some sense it make sense if they follow the concept of having sex just to make children to avoid lust, but those people just seem to hate gay people out of nowhere

[@nahdeshiko]

I'm a christian pastor's kid. Evangelizing is literally the mission, so as a christian you're expected to shout Jesus' name from the rooftops to spread his name. Growing up in that evangelical christian bubble, this is normalized where you don't even realize how weird, strange, or disturbing it actually is. I used to go on missions and lead worship during services. Casually bringing in Jesus in all conversations to evangelize, even with the "little" things, is all just considered "normal". After leaving the church and becoming atheist, I cringe at evangelism tactics and practices. This is why, when you're a christian, they tell you to marry a fellow christian and surround yourself with other fellow christians - so you can stay in that bubble and never question any of it 😅

[@karinasankarsingh5707]

I have two uncles who were pastors at one of those churches where they all went crazy and cried and screamed about Jesus. They think earth is like 6 thousand years old. Still. I have no idea to talk to them anymore. Last time I met up with one uncle he first asked me if I was honoring my husband. I told him only he honors me first and could barely talk after that. People are crazy

[@bethanyrose9026]

To be honest I grew up in a Christian school that had its own beliefs like how old earth was (only thousands of years)and they really harped on it. To be honest I just never cared how old the earth was.Even as a Christian I never understood why they were so against the earth being millions of years old? But now as an adult, I don’t really trust either side and have no idea how old I believe the earth is 😅

These "powerchuch" people 😅 my MIL is like this too and it's so exhausting sometimes... they say that "normal" catholic or protestant christians are not "real" christians. And in front of her, even my kids pretend to believe in this, because they are afraid that she's telling them, that they have to go to hell if they don't have the "real" believe as a "born again" christ... and she's always in panic, that 90% of the family who are atheist, "normal church christian" or have other spiritual believes are led by the devil....

When you're suffering a Christian will say, "I'll pray for you." An atheist will say, "How can I help?" And that's why we are morally supreme.

I always feel super uncomfortable with people who are so over the top with religion...Like, honestly, faith in actions means so much more (to me) than people who holler and scream how they are "Christian" and then in the same breath judge someone openly due to their alleged piousness. Saturday night sinners turning into Sunday morning saints, and still having the same gross attitude whilst sitting in the church.

[@bunji_beans]

I was a Christian for most of my life and offering to pray for you is not a sweet gesture. They could just do it without telling you, but they want you to know they're praying for you. They call it planting a seed when it's really just incepting god into your brain.

[@Kinikia95]

I pray for many people out of love. I will sometimes tell them "I'm praying for you and your family" and so forth if it seems appropriate and I feel it will bring them comfort in tough times.

[@mala3isity]

I heard that Bless you after a sneeze started with the Puritans who believed that your heart stops for a second when you sneeze which would give Satan a chance to enter. If you're blessed, you're safe. This also accounts for the contempt given to those who won't say it thus giving away a person.

As someone who grew up in the church, if I were approached and asked to be prayed for it’s an absolute “no”. Even without religion if you are spiritual you are taught not to let just anyone pray for you, you don’t know what energies can jump from a person or what their true intent. Religious or not be weary of others wanting to cast anything over you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

When I worked at my first job as a cashier of a grocery store, I was a baby gay (newly come out). I was so excited about my newly discovered identity and had a bunch of pins on my shirt and hat to celebrate it. I think that was when I got the most out of pocket Christian encounters. I was forced to take a lot of those little Christian comic books with no color. They would just drop them at my podium and leave😭 Mind you I’ve been through some shit in my life and I never got people offering to pray for me when I was actually suffering😭😭😭😭😭

[@elisabethscott20]

Evangelism is the problem. I think a lot of religious folks feel perfectly comfortable keeping their religious beliefs between them and their God(s) but some sects of Christianity tell followers they must proselytize to everyone they meet or else those people might go to hell (the implication being that the loss of their souls is the disciple's fault for not bearing witness at every opportunity). It's a recipe for disaster and I'm glad I got out a long time ago

[@hannahcrothers7661]

From your perspective, I understand you. However, to be a Christian and to be a Christian quietly are two opposing things. Sharing the good news is at the core of the Christian belief.
