    As a queer trans dude who grew up in a deeply southern baptist community in the rural south, nobody is ever going to be able to make me care about atheists saying mean things about Christians online ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I maybe didn’t use the best example, but it was less about people actually being religious and instead if they used any sort of popular phrasing that had any slight religious element they would try to turn it into a religion debate.

      A better example is that someone might post a polish word, someone else would reply “bless you” acting like the polish word was a sneeze sound, and then the 14-year-old atheists would descend and start a debate.

        I definitely remember some of that and being annoyed by it; sorry for misunderstanding your first post, I’ve run into a lot of people who are weirdly defensive of how society being more overtly Christian back then was good, when it was absolute hell for some of us.

        On one hand, it clearly showed me how much theist bullshit exists on both my culture and the internet anglicentric one.

        On the other hand, it makes me see very clearly how much I don’t care about the origins of culture instead of its immediate values.

            I don’t get the cynism, I never implied any of those things. My heart to you on dealing with the trauma, really.

            Most people on blahaj seem to have similar problems however and it makes for strange interactions, like this one here. I’m not sure how pointing out you probably were not thinking clearly in the comment above is bothering you so much. I mean, you’re even the one talking about PTSD I reckon, not I.

            Good luck with everything, hopefully you can read this before overzealous mods decide to delete it too.
