    Eh. I kind of have more disdain for “christians” who aren’t doing shit like that tbh. You really believe that billions of people are going to face brutal torture for all eternity and you haven’t devoted your entire life to converting people? pathetic

      the more effective way of converting people would also be to actually practice what they preach re: charity, earthly posessions, treatment of the poor, outcasts, sinners, etc.

      Ugh, I used to have this mindset as a kid and my parents didn’t bother asking me to tone it down because “Eh that’s technically what they teach at our missionary based church.”

      My dork ass didn’t convert a single child, thank fuck.

      That’s because the god of capital is more scary than the god of abraham. One of them will just watch you suffer while the other actively inflicts suffering. So you gotta please it first
