    Look, I respect your right to be how you are, but keep it in your church. I don't need to see it everywhere I go, and I damn sure don't want it anywhere near me. I don't have a problem with you, but if you try any of that God shit on me, I'm gonna put you on your ass, bro.

    This is all funny until you do it. Trying this kind of shit in 2009 as I was starting to fully transition got me a full swing baseball bat to my hip. I laid there for maybe 30 mins before I could crawl to a phone.

    From a safety standpoint, please don't do this. Just flip them off as you walk away and then vote as if your life depends on it, because it just may.

    This is why everyone who isn't a cis hetero white Christian man absolutely needs to buy a gun and learn how to use it. It's your job to defend yourself. (Don't get me wrong, allies are great, and people should be helping each other against the bigots, but end of the day, you're alone, gotta defend yourself)

    Edit: also, I'm really sorry that happened, not trying to blame the victim, just advocating for people taking their power back

    No. Hard to do when there was no way to identify them. I mouthed off at a gas station, and before I could react, a dude jumped out of a truck and assaulted me.

    Surely the gas station had cameras?

    I'm sorry that happened to you but I appreciate you warning people of the dangers of being confrontational with these people.

    It's not worth it. You won't change their mind, people nearby aren't going to clap for you, you're just unnecessarily putting yourself in harms way because many of these people are not kind, they will respond aggressively.

    I just don't understand why they feel they have to flaunt their religion. Like, we get it, you worship a zombie-corpse God and you really, really dont understand the concept of eternity but you don't have to make it your whole personality.

    Some other phrases you can throw at them for greater impact:

    • God will send you to hell for doing that
    • Jesus would never approve of you
    • You lack God in your life
    • You're blindly following Satan's lies

    Remember when he flipped all those tables because people where trading in church. Then the church went ahead and did trading in church, sure he'd love all those private jets and cars.

    It seems people can join and quit religion. I'm thinking it's more a choice than biological or sexual preference (which aren't choices at all).

    Thank you so much for posting this, I needed that levity right now.

    I don't know what happened to me, just suddenly realized that christians are totally nuts and they should not be allowed in any position of power.

    Have faith, no problems there, believing in an existing book as a source of all truths is a bit much, forcing any part of it on anyone else (including their own children) is despicable and should be stopped.

    And the thing is, unlike someone's sexual orientation, which they are born with, someone's religious beliefs are actually a choice. A lifestyle, if you so will. They're not something you're born with, but something you're taught.

    You're desperately giving them the victim seeking mentality they crave
