    Possibly unpopular opinion by a fellow atheist, but you’re just as bad as a preaching Christian by doing that. Trying to turn others to your belief system, however right it may be, is shitty, homie. Way to ruin a kids party, when you admit yourself you didn’t even know what they meant by Jesus Party. Made an assumption, ruined a kids week. YTA.

      The difference is OP didnt go knocking on their door spreading their belief. If they cant handle differing views fear of shaking their faith… than maybe dont go knocking on stranger’s doors preaching your beliefs.

        When did he say they were spreading their beliefs? Didn’t sound like they said anything about religion except that it was a Jesus themed party, and he didn’t even know what that meant, it could have meant a lot of things.

          Unless the people were latino and the kid was named Jesus and there was a misunderstanding… pretty obvious what a ‘jesus party’ is.

        True that the parents were using the kid as a shield. True that Our Hero turned the fire that should have targeted the parents onto the kid. ESH.

      Nah. They knocked on the door and interrupt a stranger’s day to sell Jesus. They need to learn to not do that if they’re not prepared to deal with the responses.

      Meh. If you come knocking on my door and tell me all about Jesus I’d probably tell you he’s been dead for two thousand years. I don’t have to support your delusion just because you barged into my life, and I think accommodating that bullshit just makes Christians worse.

      Would I say that if I passed someone by on the street? No, of course not. But if you ask for my opinion you’re going to get it.

        Yeah totally understandable. Except in this case, they didn’t tell him all about Jesus, they invited him to a kid’s party. And they didn’t ask for his opinion, nor did they give theirs.

      I bet this guy also goes to the mall during Christmas and yells to the line of kids that Santa isn’t real.
