Can't joke with religious people?

[moonbogg]

Damn man, I just texted a friend who is a christian and I jokingly said "this godless human loves you". I was just saying hello. What do I get? a mile of texts that haven't stopped yet as i type. All bible verses and links. I was told I have a heart of stone and god can fix it. This is sad.

 

[MontyAC]

Seems they are too uptight.

 

[Corporate Thug]

depends on the person. I'm fairly religious and I take all jokes for what they are - just jokes.

I should have known better. Really.

I suspect this guy has a secret that is killing him and he screams how he is so in touch with god all the time as a way to throw people off. Seen it before. I could be wrong and really hope I am. Hes going through a hard time as well so maybe thats all it is. Still pretty offensive.

I suspect that even if this person was not religious, they still wouldn't respond to the joke in an enjoyable manner.

Dude...you told him that you love him. Of course he's freaking out.

They're going to heaven and you're going to hell you goddamn atheist heathen, joke's on you!

 

[JM Aggie08]

Religious or not, that's just a strange thing to say...

My and my friends aren't afraid to say we love eachother. We hug too.

 

[DesiPower]

Anybody who has strong belief in religion or political our whatever should never be joked with, you can get hurt... their brain in closed to logic when it comes to the item of their belief...

 

[chusteczka]

You reminded him that you are a heathen needing to be saved.
Even worse, you showed interest.

 

[Maximilian]

Seems they are too uptight.

and boring.

Religious types suck, steer clear.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Know your audience.

Sounds like you need to hire him a gigolo and stand back.

Why didn't you just text "This human loves you"?

Look within ...

 

[Krazy4Real]

way to knowingly stir the pot.

Yeah, maybe I subconsciously trolled him. Oh well. He needs to know that people do fine without god. He needs to think like I do. I will show him the light. (hypocritical sarcasm)

My and my friends aren't afraid to say we love eachother. We hug too. And hold each others balls. If you're good friends you can blow each other without it being gay.

TMI dude! lol j/k

 

[Kadarin]

Depends on the person I guess. Im Muslim, and when a friend makes JOKES(Not Seriously) about me being a terrorist we just laugh it off cause he and I know that its a JOKE.

Yeah, but what about when he starts giving you shit about never being able to know the true awesomeness that is bacon?

 

[Rumpltzer]

Depends.

I went home for lunch last week, and the Mormons knocked on my door. I swung it open and yelled out, "Mormons!" We talked for 15 or 20 minutes. I dated a Mormon girl for years, and I went through (tortured) a lot of missionaries. Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that I just don't buy into it.

They seemed fine with that. I know these guys are young and away from home and doing something that they really believe in, so we just talked about nothing for a while. I asked them if they've seen the Southpark explanation of Mormonism (they haven't). Told them that they need to look it up on Youtube or something to see what it is that they're competing with.

They seemed cool with whatever.



Different ex-gf found god hard after dating me. Couldn't talk to her at all without god coming up. Got bored with it and stopped talking to her.

I drove a girl to god.

that's not what Aggie meant and you know it

 

[TheSpy007]

I was telling a story once to born again christian coworker and said "god dammit" at one point. He instantly cut me off and yelled, do not say the lords name in vain. I said i don't believe in a god. We don't speak much anymore..

 

[Mixolydian]

People who get defensive about their beliefs are obviously insecure about said beliefs. It's common in religious peeps.

But it is a bro hug like this right?

and not like...

know your hugs bro....its serious

We, my brother and I and a contractor doing some work at the house, were sitting around. My brother loved Sarah Palin for some reason I ended trying to tell him how stupid she is. I told him..."She believes the Earth is 5000 years old." All of a sudden the contractor, who so far hasn't said anything almost shouts, "I believe the Earth is 5000 years old."

Before I could shut my mouth I said to him, "Well you're as stupid as she is.."

ARGUMENT... INSULTS... he ended up telling me, "I hope Aliens eat your lunch." LOL.
