The worship of Donald Trump has become, like, actually blasphemous. Comparing him to Christ? Saying that God bows down to him? Calling him perfect when the whole central idea of Christianity is that no one is without sin? Whatever happened to not worshipping false idols?

Im not religious or anything but God bowing down to Trump is blasphemous innit?

Let's vote for Robin to narrate a subreddit that makes him happy.

11:50 I’m with Robin on this. No one is trying to force people to be part of the lgbtq+ community, what we are trying to do is make information more accessible, so it doesn’t seem alien to people. Because it shouldn’t be. My mother is Mormon, so I was forced to go to church. I didn’t even know I had other options, I was just supposed to do what I was told, obey my parents and stuff. It wasn’t until I stared lashing out on church, because I was a child that didn’t know how to manage their emotions of frustration, and also doing stuff like falling asleep again in the morning, and making my mother loose time that at some point she said “no more” and didn’t make me go again. She still tried to manipulate me into going, by trying to make me feel like a bad person, but I said no and it was final. I was never told anything about gay people, sexuality and learning to find my identity. I had to learn that on my own, sometimes getting misinformed online, or putting myself in danger because I was still a kid. I don’t want people to go through that process, and I imagine many people on the community don’t want that either. We want people to get the validation and support they need, and to feel good on their own skin, and have at least that basic knowledge available for them ❤

It’s weird how most religious folks will say it’s indoctrination or even abuse if someone tells their kid that gay people exist, but they will casually tell little kids that there is a higher being that judges your every action, and if you don’t believe in him you will suffer for eternity as if that wouldn’t be the most terrifying shit to a kid. I was taught about hell when I was like in preschool and it scared me so much

11:13 Child: Why was I born dad ? Dad: To flex on the gays Billy Child: what !? Imagine making a child just to hate on other people. Why are people like this

with the church burning and the bible not: That kinda implies the church was... not up to gods standards. He smote the church and left them a book to study.

Robin: So what am I narrating? Other EmKay narrators: You're narrating the subreddits that make you angry. Robin: Oh my God.

I was kicked out of Sunday School for asking a question. “Why does god let kids die from stuff like cancer?” (One of my friends had died) I was told that I was a trouble maker. I became an atheist decades ago and realized they didn’t have an answer & their cognitive dissonance made their stomach hurt. Lol

"Jayden, Brayden, Okayden" had me absolutely rolling because for a moment I was ready to accept that that last one was legit. Teaching has nearly destroyed my ability to question naming conventions.

FUN FACT Jesus was actually Jewish lmaooooo

The number of people who claim to live by the bible while in the same breath damning and condemning the people their god made would be hilarious if it weren't for how many people suffer and die thanks to these peoples' ignorance.

People comparing Trump to Jesus is making my brain melt, I had a stroke while editing this

"Reject Religion, Follow Jesus" makes perfect sense to me. If someone just acted in the way Jesus said we should live, but left out all the religious and ceremonial stuff, they'd be a more decent person than a lot of people who claim they're Christian.

15:14 ah satin, satan’s fabric loving cousin! Haven’t seen him in a while!

I do agree with Robin’s point during the whole “what if I’m wrong segment” I’m a Christian but I never try to force my faith onto anyone. I instead focus on being the best person I can be because that’s what Jesus would have wanted in the end. This subreddit also makes me feel sad, because these people who claim to be Christian are some of the most hateful people on the planet. And basically worship a con-man and compare him to Jesus.

5:03 American conservative Christians keep committing blasphemy whenever Trump is brought up.

As a trans woman I immediately am hesitant to jesus things, but as a former Sunday school kid the peaches into jesus thing is GENIUS

7:20 ah but you see, that wasn't murder, that was genocide. There's a difference! God would never murder any one! (Obvious satire is obvious)

19:20 Robin’s speech about religion and living your own life sparks a very good point about God. If God is a perfect being, then why would he demand that we worship him with every ounce of our being? He would understand that the existence of an intangible being of supreme power is hard for many people to believe, and therefore would forgive us. My father turned from the church for their radical beliefs, but he still believes in god, but most importantly, he believes that god is all-forgiving. He is capable of convincing everyone of their wrongdoings and accepting their apologies. I don’t know what could be on the other side, but I hope that if there is someone greater than me, that they understand that faith is sometimes hard to believe over science, and that they can still love me like they would love someone who prays every night. It’s certainly something to think about.

Sex SHOULD be Socialist: "From each, according to their ability, to each, according to their needs."

Lol I’ll never forget what my dad said to his religious fruit cake brother and sisters after the inheritance was read and he never had to see their faces again: “If after I die, and I wake up to see you guys standing around me, I’ll know God and Hell exists and that you’re all in Hell with me.”

I went through similar experiences, as I also was Mormon. I was baptized at 8 but only because I thought "This is what I should do because this will make the people happy, and my Arthritis will go away. No more pain!" Guess who still has arthritis, even though they said it will help? (The baptism was a terrible experience anyway. The water was freezing, even thought I and my mom asked for warm water, as cold water would agitate the arthritis.)

8:15, using "Praise The Lord" as a greeting is waaaay to close to the way "Hail Hitler" was used in Nazi Germany.

20:15 This idea here that Robin states is actually what Jesus taught. He wanted people to appreciate the life and world God provided, to take time to look at the sunset, to enjoy the wonders of the world presented before them. Jesus spoke out against working oneself to death, opposed the idea of working your entire life toiling away at your job, until you are too old, broken, and sickly to do more than sit there and die. I mean, Jesus was what many may even call a Liberal Socialist back then, a "hippy" even, encouraging people to share, to show compassion to the downtrodden and forsaken. The real Jesus would be hated today, because he is nothing like what the current Bible says he was like or is. He just wanted people to work hard, but ultimately be happy, to stop hating each other and give helping hands to others.

I feel like these people are the same kind of people who would get mad at someone for having religious trauma

I know that people of all faiths and none can be jerks, but being religious seems to bring out more of them. They're the kind of people who think being born white and male is some kind of accomplishment.

The fire burning down a church but a Bible being intact, reminds me of another similar thing where someone’s house caught fire but their Bible was undamaged and the also touted it as a miracle. I also remember a response that seems fitting, essentially calling god a jerk for burning down the place and leaving his card.

Took a while for me to realize I'm pansexual, but when I did so many thing made sense. I realized that the awkwardness I felt around some girls was the same awkwardness I felt around boys I liked or thought were cute. Exact freaking same. It wasn't just social anxiety: I am pansexual. I can be attracted to girls, boys, and anything in between (human and around my age or older, obviously.. and also alive). Finally felt like I knew what was going on with me. It was freeing. Wanna know how I found out? I started googling shit. Nobody forced me to. I was curious one day so I started googling things. Hell, I hadn't even had much contact with people from the LGBTQ community, as far as I know! I was 11, and went from small town to small town my whole life. Very few gay people in places like that. Met a few, was confused by it because I'm an oblivious autistic person, but someday I found out more about the community. There's still a lot I don't know. But absolutely none of this was forced upon me. I'm happy, that's what matters. My religion wasn't even forced on me because my parents have different views: Dad's atheist, Mom's Christian. But I know plenty of people who had religion forced down their throats, like my mom for example. So, as soon as she was old enough to do what SHE wanted, she bought a religion textbook and studied religions from around the world. Ended up remaining a Christian, but a very open-minded one.

@11:24, this litter of children is statistically likely to have at least two siblings come out in the near future; with a third shortly thereafter.

14:50 Apparently atheism invented color. TAKE THAT GOD!

I'm a Christian and a minister, and I can tell you I'm either laughing, or rolling my eyes at these, well, idiots. Don't judge the whole by the few, folks. I can tell you that most Christians are probably looking at these and saying "WTF?".

As a mormon, can confirm, lots of the people in the church are off their rocker. Had some lady get mad at my sister just because she was wearing tall boots. I can also say we're not all religious fruitcakes. I support you Robin, im sorry whatever ward you were in treated you poorly.

That guy at 14:40 is definitely going to hell for murdering the English language.

21:27 *dont threaten me with a good time*

As a _former_ Christian, I don’t expect to get raptured. But if I ever do for some reason, I will do everything in my power to make them send me back.

There's a quote from a pretty cool RU-vidr called the click and I think it is pretty valid right now "Jesus wasn't white and he certainly wasn't Orange"

12:20 - I wasn't *forced* into baptism, but I was, *manipulated* w/ my dad, into it. He told me, "Baptism (into the LDS faith) is you choice; you don't have too, but I would love you so much more, if you did." I was 7&1/2 years old!

Jesus wasn’t Christian either. 9:25

10:26 does that mean gloves are hand condoms then?

9:20 jesus wasnt even christian xD he was jewish

My grandma keeps saying she “feels so bad for Trump” because “the Democrats are just throwing everything they can at him! He needs all the prayers and help from God he can get.” Like… if he hadn’t done illegal stuff, he wouldn’t be going through this.

9:13 Christians are followers of Jesus. He himself was not Christian; he was Jewish.

15:00 Breaking news: Atheism makes you age 🤯

19:47 This right here… the beginning of Robin’s monologue that was the MOST uplifting and comforting piece of human literacy I could’ve hoped for during my current life struggles. Thanks, Robin, for reminding me yet again that just because I don’t have the same level of religion compared to others doesn’t make me less of a successful person or that my worth as human is solely based on where religion has got me in life. Blessed be.

7:29 and you know what’s even worse? THAT WAS THE SECOND STORY EVER IN THE FUCKING BIBLE

13:28 this is not a joke. My mom told me that she would do that to me. Evil people.

Fruitcakes aside, I'm loving Robin's nails! Can we have more people just rocking some sick nail polish?

Robin was spitting straight facts at 20:00

14:17 So… is having a roommate against God to this person?

I’ve got pretty bad rapture and religious trauma, hearing you make fun of all this stuff brings me so much comfort

14:05 Good thing I’m a cis het white polytheist then.

As a non-ironic satanist I love this subreddit, always makes me laugh Edit: If you wanna flex on the christians by how better of a person you are, i recommend looking up The Satanic Temple's 7 tenets, you might already be fitting by these tenets and not even know. Edit 2: one of my main reasons of joining and supporting TST is the fight for legalizing abortion, here where I live this year a 14yo girl got raped and pregnant, and was denied abortion because it's "a sin" and I won't ever stand that.

My husband and I are both queer. We have two children 🏳️‍🌈we’re pansexual ❤

19:45 as a Christian, I agree with this,

As a Christian, pretty much all the posts in the video made me cringe the hardest I ever have.

9:08 also, Jesus was jewish. Christianity didn’t exist at that point in time, only after his death

People go to religion for the same reasons they go to a tavern: to stupefy themselves, to forget their misery, to imagine themselves, for a few minutes anyway, free and happy.' - Mikhail Bakunin

9:30 jesus wasn't a christian, he died and lived a jew

I think at 16:41 that’s supposed to be sarcasm it just doesn’t feel like it’s praising anything.

8:57 They really think it's us that are "Indoctronating"... Don't they? I could say the same for religious people. Not all, but you know... A good portion of them.

16:05 What about tornados and wildfires proud american?

21:46. You can see the spine of the Bible, she’s holding it upside down. She doesn’t know how the read either

The Bowser one of him singing abt jesus was actually pretty cute and clever lol. Like I can see some kid coming up with that and sketching it for his youth group

13:12 God damn, "America in Bible prophecy". Thats not being full of yourself at all 😅

I'm a Christian because I believe JC's message of compassion, forgiveness and second chances, but god*damn* do some of my brothers and sisters in Him test my patience.

0:11 I first saw this image in a group chat and I've been in love with it ever since. Thanks Emkay for spreading this masterpiece

15:07 Obligatory 'Pagans are not satanists, do not believe in Satan, and do not worship Satan, please stop getting them confused' comment

Seeing this subreddit and the crazy people within makes me happy to be an atheist.

Yeah, I was raised Christian. Never had a choice about going to church- not going was just unthinkable. Heck, as an ADULT my mom wanted to LOCK ME IN THE VAN because I wouldn't attend a church service with the family. (It was a family trip to attend the funeral of my great grandmother. I attended her funeral service. I just didn't want to go to a regular church service the others wanted to attend before we left for home. And by that point my mother, sister, and bil had been treating me so harshly that I was suicidal.) I was taught homosexuality was a choice, and sinful, etc. I didn't even know what bisexuality was. I was SO confused when I realized I was looking at other girls' butts on the stairs, etc. I had to do research to find out what I even was. There was no one to talk to. No one told me it was okay. Given how the people at church had reacted to finding out I have depression I never DARED to tell them I was bi. I was a lonely mentally-ill teen with no support network who had to figure it out on her own, and I'm still one of the lucky ones because at least when I did come out to my parents I wasn't beaten, kicked out to live on the streets, or killed like some are. In fact it's one of the main reasons I left Christianity. Realizing I'd been lied to about homosexuality being a choice, I started wondering what else I'd been lied to about, which also led to me becoming pro-choice once I was actually willing to listen to other sides of the story and actually listen to my college classes with an open mind. Also, once I had to choose between a lifetime of self-denial, lonliness, and shame but keeping my faith, or finding something to believe that would at least let me love myself, I quite understandably chose the latter because I am not a masochist. I decided that no decent God would create gay people and then decide they were evil for being that way. I decided that no God worthy of worship would be such a sadist. I looked into it and found that the evidence for the Bible is actually hopelessly, tragically bad. It could be laughably bad except it still causes so much harm even today. I learned that there actually is no evidence that people being gay, or society accepting it, leads to any widespread harm at all. Instead it's the rejection of LGBT people that causes harm. And also, I know I would never be able to convince the majority of the Christians to come around to accepting LGBT people. So I really had no reason to even try to stay, because I would never be accepted or happy. I want kids to know about LGBT stuff not because I want them to "choose" it, but because I know some of them will inevitably be LGBT, and they deserve to understand what's going on, to have social support, to be accepted and loved for who they are. I don't want to force any of it on them. I just want the hatred and ignorance that has hurt so many and will continue to hurt people as long as it's allowed to continue to stop.

10:04 sounds a bit suspicious… especially the stuff about Jews and blonde white blue eyed guys?

Went to school for math... do you know how viscerally angry "math doesn't change" made me?

3:38 Man I never realized how much of a babyface Robin has

5:23 treason. stealing those papers was treason, and that can be the death penalty

18:36 I agree: Hell sure sounds cool as hell

14:32 love how people that get all preachy like this always forget that judging others is also a sin, and according to the Bible just for posting hate and discrimination like this, they will have no entrance into God's kingdom either. People who post stuff like this are not actual Christians, they are literally antichristians. Instead of loving their neighbor like they love themselves and not judging them, they use hate, discrimination and intolerance to persecute and harass others who aren't living their lives the way they believe they should.

My mum has been forcing me to be Muslim my whole life. I've never wanted to be Muslim. I'm pagan now and my family doesn't know. I have to become a different person every time I see my family. Sad life.

What jumpscared me was the knocking. I have really good headphones so I thought someone was at my apartment door.

18:21 this sounds like a really fucked up metal band 😂😂

21:00 And if they are an asshole, I will go to hell proud of myself for being a good person

3:05 God (who just refused to cure a 10 year old's cancer): "Damn, can't let my book burn"

19:30 is so accurate damn

5:44 this is just straight up blasphemy. The frick are they doing?

12:26 ok now you have to get into why

11:01 Do these people even think about what they're saying? Imagine being a parent of a child with cancer just for someone to say "You know, it's blessing from Allah/God that your child is terminally ill and won't get to see adulthood because they get into paradise!"

2:54 Reminds me of the one where someone died in a fire but it was somehow a blessing because their bible in the night table didn't burn. Or the one about how the gold cross in Notre Dame didn't melt, when the fire didn't get hot enough to melt gold.

Next time put a real life jumpscare warning, I nearly got hospitalized.

I'm really happy to see Robin getting back into his own thing. Love him on EmKay and more Robin is always welcome :)

12:50 mine was very similar. Also an ex-mormon in CO, forced into it at 6, forced to wear dresses and to give up my precious sundays and wednesdays during summer by my "dad" My mum had to de program me every time I cam back home from his house. Then I stopped visiting him in June 2015. I stopped believing when I was 11 when I never ever got an answer to my prayers of why I was constantly ab*sed by everyone adult but my mum and a few teachers. God can't be all mighty and all knowing and all good if he knows that bad things will happen and just lets bad things happen to good people, especially kids.

13:55 "Athiest"... sure lol. Anyway. This. This is what indoctrination and homeschooling does to people. It would be hilarious if not so sad.

I love how all religion makes my brain connect it to binding of isaac. Literally gracy christian is after you, and even if it makes you feel weak and cry, you can come up stronger. Don't let the fruit cakes take you down.

I don’t know man Hell looks like a great sauna location

Hello was actually invented after the telephone as an alternative greeting to "ahoy-hoy", when answering the phone.

I was so lucky that the church I went to when I was younger was a Unitarian Universalist church (all religions allowed) AND THE CHOIR TEACHER WAS GAY WITH RAINBOW HAIR HE ABSOLUTELY SLAYED

8:40 Where did they get the idea that the word "hello" is used worldwide? People in different nations use lots of different telephone greetings, e.g. pronto, tak, bueno, diga, moshi moshi, guten tag, etc. Even in English people use various greetings, e.g. good day, hey there, wassup, etc. Are all of these derived from the names of demons?

0:11 do they know it's a love song? the implication of bowser wanting to marry jesus is kinda funny ngl

9:40 Wasn't Jesus also "a jew"

at the 3:10 mark when the "subscribe and hit the bell" popup appeared I quickly read it as "subscribe or go to hell" and thought this subreddit had brainwashed them lol

Unfortunately, a lot of specialists like rheumatologists, tend to be super religious and will bring it up during an appointment. They are so hard to find and get an appointment that you just kinda have to deal with it. I have to go to a rheumatologist, and literally 4 out of the 5 I’ve had in the last 15 years have done this. I just grit my teeth and bear it.

I think the most ridiculous part of this, is that Jesus, was a middle eastern *jewish* man! And white people still claim that he was white with blonde hair and blue eyes! That’s nearly impossible! 🤣
