We lived in Texas fifteen or twenty years ago and sold a bedframe on Craigslist. This guy showed up with his young son, gave my husband an envelope that presumably had cash in it, and started hauling the bed frame out. Fortunately he opened the envelope before they left and it had a religious flyer in it, no money. He showed me and I stopped the guy and was like, where’s our money? He said that he was taking it for church charity and that he thought the bedframe was free. I called him out for being a fucking liar in front of his kid and threw him out. He didn’t think anyone would give him any shit in front of the little boy but he learned better.
An envelope is a huge red flag, seen too many online marketplace deals to accept anything but visible cash. The audacity of that man.
I even count it out when paying and ask them to count it again. I’m paranoid I might miscount!
You worked retail too?
Sure did! Home Depot Class of 12’
The only thing I doubt in this story is the last 3 words.
Good point
Yeah I’m sure if Jesus was watching he would agree she is out of line
Jesus operated a carpentry business. I’m sure he knows all about dealing with difficult customers.
He quit to become the Messiah, didn’t he? That was probably easier than retail customer service.
I literally led the campaign to form a 600 person union. I was buried in bullshit from the company every single day for over 3 years.
Still preferable to when I worked at Aldi.
Thank you for your service.
(The unionizing part, not the Aldi part. Even though I like Aldi.)
Dying on the cross was easier than customer service
Time to get the whip
He would probably nail them to a board.
Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long
~ Ministry - Jesus built my hotrod
Jesus was an architect
I’d heard he was a stonemason because there aren’t a lot of trees in Israel, so carpenter isn’t the best translation. I have no idea if that’s true, but it sounds plausible.
Jesus is watching your kids suffer and does nothing.
And he’s omnipotent and omnipresent, and does NOTHING.
If Jesus doesn’t give a fuck about your 4 sad kids, lady, I got nothing for you lol
should’ve prayed better
Or: Have you tried Vishnu?
Thank you God for fixing the cataracts of Sam’s mum! 🎶

Didn’t you hear? He’s just testing her! By intentionally putting her through torture! To see if she will stay loyal to him! And of course she will, or else!
Jesus loves all, and the love of Jesus is the most beautiful and totally non-toxic relationship to be had… 😌🌸
poor kids
“Clearly, god is testing you and your kids. I will not risk hell by helping you cheat in his test.”
I would prefer:
“I know, which is why I am giving it for free to a single mother of 5 children who is also interested.”
There are real examples of this, why did you feel the need to make a fake one
ClassicNEXT!
Such a power word, apparently. It’s poetry.Transporation
My biggest residual craving from leaving reddit is interaction horror story screenshots like this.
Feel bad for her kids, she obviously gaslights her kids with this shit too.
She’s obviously a scamming reseller.
She’s one of the good apples, hasn’t even drowned her kids in the tub once!

Not this batch at least.
If God were real he’d be laughing his ass off at this own
I like to think if God was real, they’d have a good sense of humour. Not just from the line from the movie Dogma ‘you ever see the faces you make in coitus?’ (or similarish line too lazy to double check), but cause they’d have made what is equivalent to us making sims in a game, remove the ladder from the pool and have a laugh etc. Except it’s more prod these people and watch a war… Though if they exist I hope they wouldn’t be as cruel…like so many of us.
Huh realized this area, pretty much atheist but have to account for things that are unknown for sure is all. Up to there with unicorns really, hard to prove a negative.
I know god has a sense of humor, cuz he made farts.
^also an atheist, but we can have fun
No idea what the context of this chat log is even supposed to be.
I’ll say, doing the “your life choices” line immediately poisons any sympathy I’m supposed to have for OP.
But that whole thing reads like rage bait.
Youre rage bait
Youre moms’ rage bait
Your apostrophe usage is rage butt
No wayyyyyyyy
You are apostrophe usage rage bait
Your’ rage bait apostrophe usage bait
Your butt is the rage!
Nah, somebody would’ve told me
Ohhhhh snap
I think you and I are used to seeing “life choices” as a canard used to rationalize psychopathic public policies (just-world fallacy), so it is a red flag. That’s not to say that personal responsibility doesn’t exist, of course. I just reject the idea that the fact that we might help someone who “doesn’t deserve” help is a reason to help nobody.

In the context of the exchange, it just sounds like a Reddit Atheist branded Marine Todd clapback.
Just a fake FFG exchange intended to generate cheap upvotes.
I agree that it seems fake.
Even if you’re Just Some Guy rather than an institution, you’re still a pile of shit for punching down. “I didn’t recognize this character flaw before having a child with this person” oh well you deserve to die while I spit on you then. This is a disgusting culture.
The lord says render unto ceaser so pay the $200
Seems like Jesus is pretty adept at telling this person no as well, given their circumstances.
Was Jay-sus watching when she decided to have 4 chilluns out of wedlock?
You don’t know that at all she could be a widow or husband bailed or any thousands of options, never mentioning there’s nothing wrong with that but be misogynist i guess.

Hey, are you alright friend? This isn’t a bit. I’ve seen you around some and just want to make sure you’re feeling okay.

I asked because I saw your post about being schizoaffective, and I only looked because you reminded me of a friend who also had it. She taught me that it never hurts to at least ask or check in. I miss her a lot and the least I can do is honor her by living by that lesson.
I’m not going to tell you to do anything. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. Just wanted to ask, because I know that sometimes people have a hard time seeing the person amidst folks that might be judging. So… I hope you’re taking care of yourself. Also, you didn’t deserve to be abused. Fuck that.

Thank you for humoring me even though you have every right to be defensive. As long as your doing what you can to stay in a place that feels healthy, I can rest easy. And I’ll take you at your word. I hope you have a lovely night!
I like the term “whited sepulchre” for the people you are describing.
“Idoltarer” isn’t a word. Do you mean “idolater?”

What on Earth? Are you serious? If it’s that much, why did the Reddit post about it get 25 upvotes? If it’s that much, what’s the artist’s name? You’re clearly pulling my leg, or else you’d be glad to share more.

The right thing is to stick to one’s convictions.
Uh, conspiracy to cover a public statue with mayonnaise?
Maybe if she had had fewer children she could afford whatever she is trying to get for a discount
