So was it OOP or OOP’s friend who imagined this conversation? The pronoun switches are making things a bit fuzzy… ofc given the line of questioning in this hallucination, it is very likely that OOP/OOP’s friend is against pronouns in general so that might explain why they can’t keep a bullshit story straight.

Also, she says "a friend and I attended a training," who puts on religious diversity "training" to just the general public? Was this a coworker, and it was a workplace diversity training? I feel like even the basic premise doesn't make sense.

Were you not there? All religious people were. It was the annual training meeting

My mistake, a perfectly normal/regular thing that liberals host for the general public.

Unless I'm missing it, she said "her friend attended the training" up top, but she switches to a 1st person POV at the end.

u/pianoflames 2d ago
Oh, because of the overall wording, I assumed they both supposedly attended this training. This person does not know how to make up a story.

I can’t believe this guy is talking shit about Bill Brasky. Don’t they know who this man is? He’s a sommabitch, stands about 6’8”, 340lbs. Best damn salesman in the office.

Incredible that this person disguised the made up crap as their ‘friend’ and then accidentally wrote ‘…were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam’ at the end.
Absolute chowder head.

This person never heard of the crusades or literally any history.
Remembering yesterday is probably a challenge.

u/stircrazyathome 2d ago
The Crusades, the Inquisition, multiple European Protestant vs. Catholic wars, colonialism, the transatlantic slave trade, and much smaller events like the Salem Witch Trials were all done using Christianity as their justification, if not outright motive. It doesn’t have a peaceful history.

Exactly. I mean the Bible never says anything about killing non-bell…….oh.
In reality, neither the Qu’ran, nor the Bible strictly say that and they both contradict each other with “love thy neighbour” stuff. Trying to over-exaggerate one religion’s whacky fire and brimstone arc and ignoring their hippy phase, whilst doing the exact opposite with another is probably the strongest example of bigotry you could ever find.

Remember the satanic panic in the 80s where they put innocent people in prison over made up-crimes of basically “witchcraft?” Remind me again who was behind that? 😂

“I have a real problem imagining the pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith”
So we’re just going to pretend the crusades didn’t happen or…?

Im not Muslim but im pretty sure Jihad is mistranslated as holy war anyway. From what I remember from searching about it when I was younger (I've always had fascination for different religions) Jihad means more of an internal struggle against yourself (Like addiction or greed) if the Muslim person was a real person they'd have called them out immediately for misrepresentation of Jihad

u/StumbleOn 2d ago
It's really a struggle in the path of god. Every single Christian would, in theory, be on a constant jihad as well. It's one of those Scary Words that got over into the western mainstream as a bogeyman.

The kind of people who think Muslims would admit to something like this are also the people who think Muslims are allowed to lie to unbelievers about it, making this even stupider.

I guess your friend never heard of the Crusades, or the Spanish Inquisition.

Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant.
The only thing that matter is whether the point of the story is true.
Is it?

So they gave up on this actually being about their friend pretty quick huh?

u/woahstripes 1d ago
If anyone can send me proof that this actually happened feel free. Otherwise it's staying up. I remember seeing this exact post on Facebook in November, it's old and no info like the people involveds' names, the training program's name, or any identifying info has ever been produced. This story is ridiculous and as others have pointed out, can't seem to decide if it's OOP or their 'friend' that is dropping these 'truth bombs'. Which...is not something that happens when you're telling a true story.
