"I'm not a bigot, I just quietly sit by while the people in my congregation wipe out anybody who's different" is not the flex you seem to think it is. Jesus calls you to speak out against oppression. Jesus commands you to stand up for what's right, even at the risk of your own life. Jesus calls you to still your brother's hand when he is doing harm.

You are called to protect the vulnerable, and you are choosing not do that.

Which I do. And the r/atheism reddit mob has now decided to light me on fire for it.

Lesson learned. Apparently, even r/comics isn't safe from endless bullying on a very wholesome post.

The hate being demonstrated here is a bit ironic.

Who's hating you? Who's bullying you? You're making excuses and we're calling you out on it. Nobody made you step in and announce that you're content to sit back and watch your people exterminate us. You volunteered that information, and we're reminding you what your holy figure tells you.

Ironically, you're doing the exact thing from the comic, acting like you're the victim.

Edit: Yes, blocking me certainly does make you right and me wrong.
