This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What's annoying about religious people discussing atheism(which happens every time it's brought up) is that they invariably assume atheists also have religious thinking. Like I must go to atheist church every Sunday to convince myself there's no god. It betrays either a lack of empathy or a lack of honesty.

Nah, I tended my garden, had some coffee, and going to have some tacos later. I only think about religion when it's brought up, usually when I see a billboard telling me my life is worthless and magic daddy is gonna have me for barbeque after I die.

It betrays a lack of theory of mind, likely indicating they're below a fuzzy sort of threshold below which you don't have the cognitive bandwidth to imagine a perspective beyond your own.

Of course there's also the group that are probably intelligent enough to understand that other people think differently to them, but don't care because they are narcissists.

Which is how you get conservatives.
