            Ah yes, because calling God “santa for adults” is totally reasonable and not belittling. It’s okay when an Atheist does it because daddy dawkins says there is no consequences for my actions! But when a (Trigger warning) xtian does it, oh no no that’s horrible it shows that they’re unreasonable!

              It’s not an unreasonable point of view, when you consider how focused on judgement and divine surveillance Christianity is compared to literally any other religion. Santa, with his list of good and bad boys, who sees you when you’re sleeping, and rewards all the good boys and girls for their belief and behaviour, is very very very clearly influenced by Christian mythology. He might have weaponized it in a most uncharitable way, but you kind of have to own the core criticism.

                So Santa is more like a simplified and false materialist christianity for children?

                Although in Christianity, your works have nothing to do with your salvation. It’s your relationship with Jesus and if you trust Him.

                  The Bible is not 100% consistent on whether or not it is important to be a good person. Most people believe it is important or necessary for eternal joy rather than eternal suffering.

      I won’t go there on my own but don’t say no if someone I’m with wants to go…that place is the second most overrated fast food chain in the country right behind In-And-Out. I really don’t understand the hype, it’s just an OK chicken sandwich. The sauce is good once in awhile, though

        Nah, In-N-Out hits all the right spots imo. Chick-fil-A is definitely overrated as fuck though. The one in my local mall is almost always kind of soggy, never really crispy, and almost always just “meh.” They constantly have a line at least 10 minutes long most days.

        And then there’s another one down the street from the mall, and both their drive through lanes are always packed.

          Goyslop is an antisemitic slang term from 4chan so I’m not so sure I can agree with you there…

              No, it’s antisemitism implying that Jews are the elite oppressing the peasants. I am certainly not one to throw that term around lightly:

              goyslop

              (Internet slang, 4chan, offensive) Low-quality, unhealthy food, seen in antisemitic circles as being promoted by Jews for consumption by gentiles for malicious purposes.

              I agree that it’s not great…but not that a famously Christian fast food chain is serving low quality food at the behest of Jewish elites.

                  …are you implying that somehow changes what goyslop is? I just linked you the definition and origin of the term so doubling down is an interesting choice.

                  But ok

      I won’t buy from them because they’re Christians.

      I guess that’s an idea
