fake religious fucks

I'll name some specifics. This was around 10 years ago. It was two guys who appeared to be around their early 20s. I think one was black and the other was white. They were wearing religious themed t-shirts that had the Pokemon font and there was some gimmick on the shirt to look like Pokemon GO! which was a big game at the time.

I was walking and was approached by these fucks. They asked me if I had any religious affiliation or something to that effect. Background on me. I grew up in a white trash, Godless home in the middle of nowhere. I didn't even get to go to school as a kid. Religion was not something we talked about in the house. I was in my early 20s at this time and was exploring the concept of religion. I believed. I had surrendered (alone in my bedroom) to Jesus and felt like I had some level of faith.

In the conversation with these people, I actually thought maybe for a second they were genuine and believed in what they were doing. So, I said that I had surrendered to Jesus. They half listened. They then asked me what my religious denomination was. I named off the one that my parents told me we were. They then asked what I thought it meant to be one. That was when I had the confirmation and mentally checked out of the conversation. I knew at that point these were fucks who didn't even believe in whatever gobbletygook they were supposedly practicing, and just wanted to go around and talk down to everyone else about who was going to hell.

I kind of shrugged them off at that point and kept walking. Pissed me off. I lost my faith later on. The whole idea was just something I clung to, to believe that there is balance and order in the world when there really isn't. Religion is something descent people cling to out of desperate hope like what I did, and for shitty people something that they cling to to hide behind. It's why so many deplorable people boast about being involved in church.

My life was horrible at that point. Every odd and thing was stacked against me. I never did drugs or drank or acted retarded. I had enough wrong in my life that I wasn't going to add to it. While it took years of working non-stop, I did end up getting out of the life I was stuck in. I don't think badly of people who believe in religion and aren't shitty people. I do think badly of people like those guys.

If I had to guess, those fucks were types who were probably raised in a church and were one to assume that everyone else must have had that same opportunity and ability to get to go to. And if they didn't, then they are just devil worshipping trash who are all going to hell. No possibility at all that there are innocent people (like me) who were born into a shit life of poverty that was like the show Shameless.

Bet you anything those loser fuck guys are probably miserable now, and I hope that they are.
