I hate when people a) act like Christianity is not a religion, and b) act like Christianity is fact, not faith. It is faith, and yes, you do have to have faith. Not that my beliefs are better than someone else's, but they are beliefs. They are not facts. I accept them because I want to, but it is only faith, not fact. Christianity is not any more or less valid than any other religion. And it's certainly a religion. Not a "personal relationship with God." Fuck no, I don't want a personal relationship with the most powerful entity in the universe or out of it. I don't know what sort of God I believe in, but whatever it is, it's not something you have a personal relationship with.
I'll stop eating beef lamb and pork the same day they start letting me eat vegetarians.
And this one: "I'll pray for you." I get this too damn much. Lady (it's almost always women), I don't need praying for. Not for my Soul, not to get better. Not for anything. Maybe it makes you feel better but it doesn't help me. You want to help me? Cook me a meal, donate to science, donate to your local hospital, give me gas money. But praying does squat for me.
Lithp and Vene really need to have some kind of confusing sexual encounter where Vene spends the entire session lovingly insulting Lithp's technique, then cums on his face, ruffles his hair, says, "You're all right, kid!", and then punches him in the nuts.
Just about any phrase spoken in "Christianese" (you know what I'm talking about) weirds me out and makes a person impossible to be taken seriously

I'll ask people "Do you mind if I..." or "Can I..." before saying I'll pray for them. Generally I don't offer anyway unless I'm feeling helpless or like there is nothing else I can personally offer.
"Keep Christ in Christmas" - Nobody wants to take away your Jesus Worship, fucknut. Saying "Happy Holidays" because - *choke, gasp* - there are other holidays than Christmas around the same time and nobody has time to say "Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" is not an attack on your religion. Nor is the abbreviation "Xmas". Nor is calling the time American students get off school around the same time "Winter Break". If you really want to talk about cheapening the message of your pagan-turned-Christian holiday, look at every goddamned department store in the country. Of course, complaining about that would reduce your odds of getting a new console, and so nobody says anything.
Yeah, gays cause hurricanes, tits cause earthquakes, and lack of prayer causes tornadoes. Learn to science, people.
Porn peddlers peddling pedal porn? My life is complete.
I too could use an example of Christianese. I THINK I get it but I'm not sure.
The logical response to getting that tingle in his dingle is turning into an asshat, of course.
