I don't see the irony.

A bunch of people going "wow, that's weird, but ok" is not hurting Chris Pratt in any way, nor is it trying to control people's behavior.

I'd LOVE if all Christians ever said to "I'm an atheist" is "wow, that's real weird, but you do you." Unfortunately, the usual official religious line is that we're going to hell, which is not comparable.

(I'm saying this from the pov of someone who can take or leave Christians.)

From the POV of someone who is openly pagan and grew up in a fairly religious community with many Christian sects in strong representation, "That's really weird but you do you" has been the majority response. I don't think anyone has ever actually told me I'm going to hell, except for atheists who assume that's what I've been told.

Whereas I was raised openly atheist in a community with a vocal majority Christian population and was frequently told (beginning when I was in elementary school and too naive to make up a lie or excuse when people asked me what church I went to) that I was going to Hell, and constantly dealt with people trying to rope me into an argument about my lack of faith so they could have that hAHA GOTCHA CHECKMATE ATHEISTS moment.

Almost like different people have different experiences, and your neutral experience doesn't mean that others are overreacting to their own self-described negative experiences.

But that works the other way around as well - just because you had some bad experiences doesn't mean that the majority of Christians are mean and evil. Almost as if Islamic terrorists are not representative of Muslim people, for example.

[(Anonymous)]

Who in this thread is saying that all Christians are mean and evil? Saying that you've had bad experiences with Christians so you feel weird about a celebrity erecting a giant cross on his property is not at all the same thing as saying that all Christians are evil and mean.

Wow. Good on you. I've been a pagan in the Bible Belt for thirty years now, and I have been told I'm going to hell--in the oh-so-sorrowful, we love you, can't you just come back to church so we're not separated forever when you die... I also don't put pagan stickers on my car (will get keyed, hit, vandalized because others in my pagan group had it happen), I order my books online and my last real life study group disbanded because picketing drove the little independent bookstore where we met out of business.

So...yeah. Awesome. I've glad you've had a great experience. I've seen lots of hateful Xtians and I'm not real fond. This makes me re-think Pratt.
