why are they so much more pretentious and obnoxious than atheists even?

Because the preachers force them to go out and bother people. It's how it works. How it spread and doesn't die. Some day I'll run over them at a family planning center.

There was a bizarre flip ~2015 where all the neckbeards became Christian.

I saw one or two guys once a semester at my uni and just laughed. Bitches were calling for them to be banned every time and doing the stupidest shit. You can just ignore them, they're no louder than cars or the general chatter.

they trigger the ones who actually are spiritually dead and they know it. because if you ironed out your religious and spiritual metaphysics even if you are agnostic they would not seem threatening

In my hometown there was always this street preacher arguing with the same group of people, day in day out.

I went back for the first time in about five years, and they were still going at it. It's honestly pretty commendable.

I love that they always carry a little stepladder with them to preach from. There's a certain absurdity to it, as though they think that it doesn't count unless they're elevated about a foot off the ground.

Gluttony is a sin and abomination. One cannot be a glutton and a Christian. The christian life is one of penance and mortification.

The USA is meant to be rebellious originally and to this day has the highest crime and prison rates of any nation once adjusted to population ratios of other nations so yeah, it is rebellious to not be rebellious. The presidency was never meant to be respected outside of times of war. At all. It's a pointless position in it's original design and actual design. Even back during more religious times we had drugs and brothels and killed more often than we do now ironically.

You're beyond confused about things in other words. Religion is for literal boomers fearful of death and children forced into sunday school, traditionally.

Catholics are just pagans with gnostic terminology. Protestants are christfaggots though, obviously, to a fault. Too forgiving and unbridled.

Well, Judaism is an eternal sin / rebellion / revolution against God and mankind...

Cosmic cope mostly. They believe that their god created us out of nothing, and that we ought to thankfully rejoice this fact. Of course, this is build on an assumption of being and non-being being seperate, which is a distinction that only exists in our own heads. In reality, being and non-being are states within the same endless process, which robs us of a teleology, and therefore a purpose to work towards. The believer hates to be reminded of this, and so he made up in his mind a scheme of thankfulness and unthankfulness, and a moral system which rewards and punishes this. Again, all of this is a coping mechanism for an existence without an end point. I guess some people are so desperate for a solution to the riddle of life that they'll grab onto anything that gives them this, no matter how ridiculous and contradictory to everything we know about existence
