Do you think there are Christians really like this? Do you find this boy's joke to be true in any way?

Question

Okay okay. So this boy at school was picking on me in art class (he was as senior; I'm a freshman). First he was joking about being straightedge, then he says "Oh yeah and I paint pictures of God!"

Keep in mind he isn't really a Christian (I don't think). He was acting out a satire of sorts. And picking on me in the process. xD

So he turns to me and goes "Do YOU love God?" I responded with, "I don't really know how to anwser that..." Keep in mind I am an atheist. So then, he yells in the middle of class,

"ARE YOU ONE OF THEM SATAN WORSHIPPING ATHEAAAAAASSSTS?!!!!" Take the number of exclamation marks in consideration.

I'm laughing and they keep yelling at me, "You think he's joking?!" Trust me, he was.

So he goes on and on with his little act. And the guy next to me kept saying "You should go to church with him! He'll pick you up!"

Then my friend comes over and actually is cautious about offending him; she thought he was serious.

So then he says "I hate fagg0ts!!" And she goes. "What?"

Then he says, "Well we don't hate the g**s but we hate.... well there's evil in side of them..... you know, this would be a lot easier with my youth group to explain...." So he goes on saying all these horrible homophobic and racists things in mocking Christians.

I wouldn't like to think it but... Are there people really like that (not joking about it like he was)? I mean... I guess my grampa is like that... but is this boy just making an exaggeration? I mean, is anyone really THAT ill-informed? What are your thoughts on this?

Do you think it was funny like I did? :D

Answer 1

Well his attitude, shows he was not a real Christian, just an ignorant idiot.  Unfortunately you will meet folks like that in all faiths, or who have none at all.

I think it is more sad than funny.  

Answer 2

Yes, there are people that ill-informed.  And there are naturally people who mock them.  But it is one thing to mock among friends and another to mock with targets in plain sight.  The friends would need to get the joke to be sure he wasn't serious.  The targets might not react well.  Parody can be dangerous.

Answer 3

Ahh, I see you are a level 2.

Stick around for a couple of months and you will find out that yes, there are MANY christians just like that.

By the time you are level 4 you will be sick of christianity.

Answer 4

like oh my god, in like, 6 years time he'll be working as a bagger in a convenience store.

Answer 5

I've met people like that.  They're definitely out there.

Answer 6

sadly, it is possible he was being serious yes I know, it seems illogical, but there are people who are like that

Answer 7

I myself don't find it very amusing, but of course I'm an old fuddy duddy.  Unfortunately yes there are people out there who are like that, and it isn't only the christians who have people who are like that.  Intolerance crosses all boundries and genders.

Answer 8

sadly there are rare cases when that is true... but thankfully for the most part it is untrue and at least if i was there i would have chewed him out for making fun of Christians like that (would attempt to do the same for any other religion)

Answer 9

Not everyone is like that.

Yea, there are people like that in just about every religion.

But you have to remember, these are only people, not the religion itself.

I believe that he was exaggerating to a certain extent, but past that he should have stopped.

No matter what his religion is, he should still have respect.

Although you think it's funny, to some people it might not be.

To me it really makes no difference, I defend those who can't defend themselves, and I go for what's right or what I think is moral or civil.

If that were me I'd probably say something to make him shut up.

THAT Would be VERY funny.

I still don't understand what the ******** and the .......... are for though.

So..I can't say exactly what I would think about the situation.

Answer 10

A friend reported to me that her cousin actually believes that the city of San Francisco is populated by many g*y people (and plenty of straight people as well), and that the g*y people have horns growing out of their heads.

I'm not making this up.

Answer 11

That kid is an idiot.

I would stay away from him, or tell him he is a craddlerobber if he tries to hit on you.

Answer 12

A lot of people believe Gods word

tGod bless

Answer 13

i would have laughed my *** off

Answer 14

I think that he's just "Sad" and need alot of Medical help before he ends up in the Mad house for real.

Answer 15

Jeez, what ever happened to dipping her pig-tails in the inkwell and carrying her books home from school.

You kids today, I don't know...

Answer 16

I don't know if what he did was funny, but there are people who actually believe things like that... it's sad.

Answer 17

Just keep in mind the God loves you, sweetheart. He will help you with whatever happens in your life. Just pray honey :)

Answer 18

I wish I had been there, it sounds hilarious, and sadly yes, there are people like that.
