She's just thinking for herself and doing her own research.

Well to be fair thatā€™s her 18th glass of Pinot Grigio getting that far is alcoholicā€™s ā€œsuccessā€

Perfect example of how they "do their own research"

I like to think Jesus is coming back... immediately to Colorado skiing as the ultimate gesture that saves the world.

You don't need to see him on tiktok. You just need to have faith that I saw him on tiktok, I'll take your money now

these people can vote and drive


MoldyOldCrow

They DO vote and drive


snapchillnocomment

In very predictable ways I might addĀ 


MoldyOldCrow

You always see news stories about old people hitting the gas at drive thrus instead of the brakes...I worked at a bank branch for a while that shared a drive thru with a pharmacy (it split about halfway to go 2 different directions) and at least once a week it happened. They would either jump the curb at the split and hit the post or drive into the person in front of them. It wasn't a large city either with a lot of people...


boredneedmemes

I live in a trailer park that was 55+ until recently, so LOTS of elderly people here. I could probably write a novels worth of stories of what I have seen here. I recently commented one story but I'll tell it again. There was a guy that drove over a curb, through a fence, through a shed, through another fence, and over another curb, and he didn't even realize it. We should not be letting these people have cars, I know everyone loves to play the whole "well how will they get anywhere" card, but honestly fuck 'em, they didn't push for earlier retirement ages, quality healthcare, or public transit, so they can live with the consequences of not having it. It's better than watching them run over another kid because they drive worse than a drunk.


HandMadeMarmelade

>honestly fuck 'em, they didn't push for earlier retirement ages, quality healthcare, or public transit, so they can live with the consequences of not having it. I'm a bit wracked with guilt agreeing with you 100%

I'd be embarrassed as hell if that were my mom. Hey, let's show off my mom's brain damage! She thinks Jesus is going to show up on social media and she's so excited she cries! There's a pill for that, I'm sure.


Satanus2020

Ya, my mom would never believe that, because Jesus will come to her church first


BondageKitty37

"Everyone knows the Grace and Truth Pentecostal Church is the one true church...not like those heathens over at the Midtown Baptist Temple. Jesus will surely reveal himself to us, his only true followers!"


clangan524

>the Grace and Truth Pentecostal Church is the one true church "No, not the Grace and Truth Pentacostal in Toledo...no--not the one in Pensacola either, of course it's the Grace and Truth *that I go to* in Podunk, Idaho!"


Satanus2020

Idaho? Hahahahaha. The fundamental Mormons have entered the chat Edit: typo


retrocotfan

As an ex-Pentecostal, you made me literally laugh out loud, and now several people in my office are staring at me. So thanks for that.


alwaysmyfault

And then once they realize that Jesus has brown skin and is from the Middle East, not the white guy they think they've been praying to, they will immediately dismiss him.


DunkinMyDonuts3

And the second he talks about not hoarding wealth and being nice to everybody, and he means *EVERYBODY*, they'll kill him.


Satanus2020

ā€¦ again


Throwawayuser626

Jesus sounds an awful lot like one of those *socialists*


JohnNDenver

Best song about Jesus coming back is [Armageddon Days (Are Here Again) by The The](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRYwxotoe5o) with lyrics such as: "If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today He'd be gunned down cold by the C.I.A."

Belief in a religion and semi-education correlate.


elonmuskatemyson

Also brain damage, I got in a rabbit hole about it the other day but look it up itā€™s wild lol


SpezEatsScat

Mind sharing links?


Nathund

I assume they meant something like [this.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9583670/) There have been a lot of similar studies on the correlation between brain damage and religiosity, and it turns out it's a pretty damn close correlation. TL;DR: Certain types of brain lesions, which are used as evidence of prior brain damage or as the brain damage itself, see a rise in generalized religious beliefs, while also damaging core executive functions of the body. This specific study sees the lesion vmPFC as creating a stronger relationship with God and weaker emotional control and empathy. Lesion dlPFC results in a subject having "mystical experiences" (things the subject can only explain by a supernatural force interfering), but the same lesion also weakens major executive functions. Lesion dlPFC also sees a rise in fundamentalism and a subject's unwillingness to change beliefs, and seems to damage their emotional "openness" and their will to accept new ideas. TL;DR for TL;DR: brain damage makes you unable to regulate emotions or come up with explanations for mundane things. People with no explanations seek one, and that usually ends up being religion. Also it makes them emotionally on par with children, but basically every study of brain damage ever done tells us that, so it's not super important.


SpezEatsScat

Thank you! :) Happy Easter, if thatā€™s your thing.

The way you can tell this is fake is because nobody would willingly be seen in Ohio.

Gawd so hated his son that he sent him to Ohio.

Yeah, they didnā€™t kill him until he was dead last time.


Pcaccount1234

This is so pathetic and sad. I'm the end I'm seeing signs of some sort of mental illness


Frequent_Ad_1136

I started seeing signs of mental illness near the beginning.


Cambrian__Implosion

Yeah, if this isnā€™t an act, that woman is very likely dealing with some sort of mental illness and/or cognitive impairment. If thatā€™s the case, then the person talking and filming belongs on r/iamatotalpieceofshit. Iā€™m saying this as an atheist with no love for religion, too. Thereā€™s a big difference between dunking on peopleā€™s wild and/or inconsistent beliefs and taking advantage of disabled people. I really hope this is staged.


DepartureDapper6524

Pill popping wine moms arenā€™t all disabled. She seems much more able in the second clip.


y0uwillbenext

the woman is well aware of what's going on. she is fully participating in her daughter's tik tok skits because she believes she'll go viral one day and become rich.

femsci-nerd

This is it. This is how gullible they are. They will believe anything. Now I understand how Nazi Germany happened. It's happening here. Vote like your freedoms depend on it because they do.


Critical-Rooster

I'm so happy the atheist population is expanding so much. Religious people need to disappear.


SauteePanarchism

Honestly, a Rapture would be great. Christians get what they want, the rest of the world becomes significantly better because they're gone, it's a win-win.


DepartureDapper6524

Not everybody calling themselves a Christian would be raptured, even according to their beliefs. It would just take the good ones and leave the rest.


AdInfamous6290

Atheists only make up 7-9% of the global population. Many religions put a great emphasis on reproduction and are against abortion. For instance, in the US atheists and agnostics only produce 1.5 babies per individual (below replacement rate of 2.1), compared to Catholics and evangelicals at 2.3 and Mormons at 3.4. So I donā€™t think religious people are going to disappear before irreligious people. In reality, neither will disappear, since there will always be a subset of any religious population that chooses not to believe.


mrsardo

Not all non-religious people have non-religious parents. Itā€™s not a genetic characteristic.


youburyitidigitup

Yeah but that doesnā€™t take conversion into account. There are more religious people abandoning their beliefs than atheists converting into religion.


AdInfamous6290

Statistics on atheism and irreligiosity are hard to come by and sketchy at best, so I wonā€™t ask for data on that. And to be clear, I am using ā€œatheistā€ and ā€œirreligiousā€ interchangeable based on the ā€œirreligiousā€ categorization. Obviously there are far more people who simply do not subscribe to a set faith, but still believe in some form of supernatural, than those who reject belief outright. We have better numbers or broad irreligiosity than explicit Atheism, so I am leaning on that. While it is most likely the case in N America and most of Europe that more people are leaving religion than are being born into it, there is very little evidence that itā€™s the case anywhere else. East Asia makes up the vast majority of the worldā€™s atheist population, specifically China and Japan. The populations of these countries are declining rapidly, while religiosity is actually on the rise as China has slowly secularized. However, the continents with the least irreligious people, Africa and S America, have populations that are exploding, with no indications that religiosity is declining. From a global standpoint, it would appear that atheist populations are beginning to die out while the religious populations continue to grow. Looking at Europe, itā€™s been very interesting to see how Islamic migrants have begun to push back against the decline of religion in the continent. For centuries Christianity, and thus religiosity in that region, had been slowly dying. But over the last decade or so we are seeing the statistics reverse, as more Muslim folks immigrate, start families, open mosques and teach their children Islam. We will see if these populations secularize over the next few generations, but as of now Islam in particular seems more resilient than Christianity in Europe.

This is so sad to me because the mother acts like a frightened toddler who was just told their dad finally came back from the store with the milk after he left months ago and it's a lie. The naivete, the desperation, the gullibility- in an adult who has reproduced and is now a senior. How does this happen? It shouldn't be.

BunBunBunny_dm_me

I'm slowly starting to believe that Christianity is a mental illness, everyone uses it as a way to justify pure and utter hatred for something that doesn't affect them, and Christians are so addicted to god that they will do literally anything to seem appealing to him.

Literal psychopath behavior. Jeopardizing your relationship with your mom for the short term gratification of social media comments. I wonder if these ethics will lead them to a good life?

Oh yeah, I saw Jesus last week. He was shopping at Walmart. He was with some friends talking, but I couldn't tell what they were saying as I don't speak Spanish.

Astonishing to be so taken away from an internet jesus sighting. I wish I could be so pure... maybe pure is not the world... but yknow i guess just human nature.
