People aren’t laughing at you because you’re Christian in Texas you morons, they’re laughing at you because you think you’re being persecuted for your religion when you live somewhere where 80 percent of the population is Christian.
-
Even if it were 100% they would still find some way to play the victim.

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
-
Which is why I don’t take people like this seriously in any way, shape, or form.
-
-
-
The most unrealistic part of this is a conservative christian actually reading the bible. Unless he is just using it as a prop which is on form with these types.
-
Reminds me of this one
-
Can't believe people would treat a cunt like a cunt
-
-
No one hates Christians more than suburban white people in golf shirts. Everyone knows that.
-
Where is this pictured, the DMV? No one is that happy at the DMV.
-
Looks like ai?
-
I thought so too. There's one background head just left of the central figure's face that looks extremely off, and the teeth/mouths on many of them are kind of a giveaway, but there's nothing really conclusive here that I can find.
The idea that is the thesis of this image is so stupid that they can't even find a real person willing to draw it for them.
-
Looks like an AA or NA meeting to me.

whoever made it clearly had no idea on how to properly align the word BIBLE.
-
-
And they don’t serve beer (cup on the left)
-
-
Persecution Fetish.
It leads them to teach their children that they need to be ready to die for their beliefs. It's fucked up.
-
It's also a religion self-defense. If you tell people early on that their faith will be "tested" they are much harder to reason with because all they are hearing is "Satan is trying to take Jesus away from you" instead of the logical arguments against these made up stories.
-
-
Thing is, they are. Not because they're Christians (most people don't care), not because they're reading the bible (Most of them don't anyway), but because they post shitty memes like this to feed their victimization fetish.
-
i care that they're christians. i grew up in the bible belt south in the 80's. fuck these people. they wanna ruin my life? i'll gladly return the favor.
-
-
They're laughing because he was reading out loud and just got to Ezekiel 23:20
-
Ezekiel 23:20
Please mark that NSFW. I read it out loud on the bus and almost got arrested
-
I know of this lust
-
For the lazy:
###Ezekiel 23:20 (NIV)
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

Pick your favorite! I'm partial to the New International Reader's Version (NIRV). Then again, The Message (MSG) sounds like a book I'd like to read
-
-
-
This made me realize, I’ve never ever seen anyone genuinely reading the bible.
-
It's got a lot of good stuff. Like, "the worker deserves their wages", no wait let's throw that out, and "take care of the poor & needy", no let's ditch that too, and "your breasts are fiiiiine gurl", no wait let's never read that out loud ever, anywhere.
My favorite is "be skeptical - test everything", oh no wait no let's redact that too... (I just realized how that doesn't mesh with the most important verse of all: "just do whatever we tell you, no questions asked, capiche?")
The hilarious part is not that they are reading the Bible - it is that they are not! Likewise for the Constitution that they showed up on January 6th to "defend".
-
That's because it's not worth reading, it's very derivative and essentially it's just a rehashing of Life Of Brian anyway.
-
Some of it can be interesting to read, but I doubt most people care about how you can see a shift in warfare from bronze over to iron. Or the fact it works as a primitive bit of anthropological history or atleast gives a good look in how the societies writing and translating viewed certain things.
-
-
Nobody does. But I've seen plenty of people who walk around with them to pretend that they do.
-
I read it out of spite because of how often any random nonsense in my high school English class would be call a metaphor for Jesus and I wanted to be able to call BS on it when appropriate.
Suggested to my mother that she might want to read it sometime, seeing as she taught catechism classes for the local church and she gave me the most confused look and asked me why on earth she would want to do that. The very same lady who insisted I had to continue attending mass and catechism classes until I got confirmed right up until the nun in charge expelled me from their catechism program.
-
I did. I'm also an atheist. It's actually quite interesting from an historical perspective.
-
I'm taking a Jewish studies course where we've compared verses to other historical artifacts. It really is pretty interesting how much everyone wanted to claim "my
daddyGod will (or did) beat up yours!"

Isn’t “Texan Secession” one of those Russian psyop accounts?
-
I became an atheist after reading the bible.
-
Yeah. We are laughing at them. It’s their own fault for being laughable.
They’ve been doing far, far worse to everyone else for thousands of years, so a bit of online snickering shouldn’t hurt them. Like witch trials, the inquisition, the crusades, the holocaust, lynchings – that’s all fine, but their god forbid we make a few jokes online… that’s too far.
Lol Prudence, fucking suck it up.
-
From someone who lives in this shithole: this has never happened except for maybe a few times on a super edgy atheist subreddit for teenagers.
No white Christian dude in Texas has ever experienced this. We get it, bro. You’re the victim. You and every other Jesus-loving white guy in office right now, passing laws to take away the rights of anyone not like you. Even if this did happen, you’re all victims because a few guys laughed at you while you read your sacred book.
How did you ever move on from this moment?
-
Not in Texas but Oklahoma, and I grew up "Christian" and there was definitely one asshole in high school that just wanted to be that atheist asshole. Like obnoxiously mocking. anyone that mentioned anything about religion.
I'm pretty non religious now and heard that he has since 'found religion' but also believed the COVID vaccine was a government conspiracy. So tables have turned a bit there, or maybe he's just dumb.
-
Edgelords gonna edge.
-
I knew those people too. It’s funny because I was the Christian they mocked at the time, but I’ve grown and went through time as an atheist, and am now pagan. For some people I think religious identity is primarily a tool to ensure they feel superior or enlightened, whereas for others it’s a search for an inner or outer truth or something else deep and private, and for others still it’s cultural or just “I don’t buy it”.
It’s easy for all of us to misunderstand each other when often our why is more significant than the conclusion we reach (per my observations). The people who want to feel superior are going to find people they agree with and gloat. The seekers are going to pursue understanding and self mastery. And the others are not going to understand why all of us care so much outside of transitional periods of belief.

They're not laughing at him for reading the bible, they're laughing at him dressing up to go on a plane like it's the 1950s, fuckin nerd.
-
Well its true, just more ln an international stage. Locally, those fools rule the roost.
-
I live in Texas and I'm laughing. All the way to the grave. Pls send help.
-
-
May they be granted all the oppression they crave and more. Amen 🙏🛐✝️😏
-
this. i strive to make them feel as uncomfortable and unwelcome as i can, because, they are. get your stupid fucking ideas out of my society. NOW.
-
-
Where?
When?
Give me one fucking example.yhat this ever happened?
Crickets
-
When they knock on my door. I laugh
When I see them preach on the street. I laugh
When I see them on tv. I laugh.
When I see them voted into government. I stop laughing.
-
This thread? 🤔
-
True, but they aren't here to feel the rejection
-
-
-
How dare they find your loyalty to your imaginary friend comical!!
-
its funny because I thought the majority of texas was christian. who knew? /s
-
They don't need anyone laughing at them, someone telling them that someone else is laughing at them is enough to feed their victim complex.
-
-
AI art used in an attempt to manipulate our fellow mentally weak individuals to side with what we want, just as 'JESUS' taught us.
-
So persecuted :(
Damned Romans…-
Revive Nero!
-
-
I guess I'd laugh if they weren't so dangerous
-
If “true texans” understand the experience of being mocked publicly for their religion who’s doing it? Sure we can mock them online, but nobody here in the Midwest is mocking me for being proud of how cheap I get stuff or how friendly I am. Sure some people may but I don’t interact with them on a regular basis because I’m following my regional cultural values in that area.
So my real question here is: isn’t this admitting that many Texans aren’t christians
-
It goes much deeper than that, imho: "every accusation is a confession". It bespeaks how they make fun of the ones that they do not agree with - and therefore imagine that the "other side" simply MUST be doing that to them (regardless of any evidence yay or nay to that effect).
But to answer your question: yes there are a lot of "city folk" inside of Texas - mostly Austin and Dallas - but since they are concentrated into those areas, the state overall votes along with the rural base. Except that they fear that their children even in the rural areas are leaving Christianity in droves, so that too.
Mostly though, it is a "truthiness" statement - not meant to be factually correct so much as to evoke an emotional response. e.g. the Holy Bible, which they claim to revere, says things like "judge not, let you be judged in return" applied to non-Christians but also has enormous punishments for Christian LEADERS who are caught in things like infidelity especially with under-age children, both of which need to be swapped 100% in reverse in order to match their actions as depicted in this meme. As in, maybe people aren't making fun of you b/c you follow the Bible, but b/c you claim to but then don't?
-
-
that's Pride talking, grandma, and you're going to Hell for sharing that meme about your Pride
-
I bet all sorts of things could be photoshopped in there... :-O
-
I only laugh at people who think their Jesus preaches intolerance and cruelty the way they preach.
I laugh at those who think Jesus would be on their side, when they worship supply-side Jesus.
-
Fuckin’ guy is virtue signaling
-
Made my own AI generated version for fun
-
Thanks for the waste of energy, I guess?
-
There are more individuals out there generating Shrek buttholes 24/7 just looking for that perfect pout. This one isn't a problem.
-
When I run Stable Diffusion on my GPU it takes about 10-20s to render one image.
Power consumption is about the same as gaming, so its not much energy.
-
Plot twist he's hiding a hentai comic inside the Bible!
-
God must've of spent a lot of time getting hands to work right as seen on the guy in grey to the left of Bible boy.
-
-
People on the hard right have no sense of humor at all lol they think it's hilarious to make fun of literally anyone who isn't exactly like themselves but no one is EVER allowed to laugh at them about anything
-
This is total victim-Christianity. I went to an anti-protest against some militant christians protesting a bookstore that held drag queens reading stories to children. Those christians didn't know shit about the bible. I offered to come to their church and teach them since they were embarrassing themselves.
-
From who this is coming from, it's actually trying to portray how other Christians take their holier than thou attitude when compared to their actions and personality.
Edit: Or maybe, to be even more specific based on the seating arrangements, their holier than thou attitude in Narcotics Anonymous.
-
0/10 message but 10/10 technique and subtle reference to the last supper with use of lighting and single point perspective.
-
To be fair, that stylistic choice was made by the AI. Their prompt was probably "man sits with Bible being laughed at" or something equivalently trite and uncreative/lifeless.
-
I don't see any signs of AI, though? Their eyes and eyebrows don't look like cascading vaginas, they all have 4 fingers per hand, etc.
I guess the lady's hair on the right and the one finger missing an outline on the left are sus, but I feel like this could just be some regular human trace work.

Hey AI granny: we don't look down at you because of your Bible, we look down at you because you act AGAINST the core teachings of the Gospels, such as "love thy neighbor", yet you insist on cherry-picking 'n' thumping over our heads a book whose teachings you don't understand and if you did, you would REFUSE to follow them... like you already don't now, and haven't for your entire goddamned life.
-
I mean, I'm laughing, so it's not wrong.
-
The lengths people will go to avoid the dreaded smartphone pinky
-
Replace the Christian in the photo with Galileo and the crowd with Christians.
-
Dude we don't even do this in Cali lol.
-
That Matt Gaetz?
-
They are, just not for the reasons that they believe. 😅
-
not to be the hater but this is basically the vibe of c/atheism and other types. the book may vary but there is no shortage of this category of behavior lol.
-
I mean, if a Christian or other religious person goes into an atheist community and is shocked to find their belief being ridiculed there, I don't know what to tell them
-
i don’t disagree. the post title proposes that the laughing-at doesn’t happen at all. which is demonstrably false. that’s all im pointing out yknow :)
-
-
But do they make fun of people just reading the Bible?
I consume a lot of atheist entertainment, and the ridicule is always directed to some harmful action being perpetrated by a religious nut. I've never heard them make fun of someone for just reading the Bible. A couple of the atheist podcasts have read through the whole Bible themselves.

texas granny thinks christians are being laughed at
