This poetgirl on Instagram says some off the wall shit.

Some of these old bitches have totally lost their mind and just spread misinformation.

This is more than mildly infuriating for me but I wasn’t quite sure where else to post this lol.

    God, fucking Christians. We need a slur for them or something so badly. I’m so sick of them.

      In Italy, in our Humanist association we used “credini” for all religious people.

      “Cretini” means “idiots” (originally “affected by cretinism”, the developmental syndrome caused by iodine deficit during pregnancy).

      “Credere” is the verb meaning “to believe”.

      So it could be read as “believing idiots”.

      Always loved it and have been trying to replicate it somehow in English ever since.

      Comedian James Acaster offers “crizzos” in one special. That’s got some zip to it.

          The crucifix is an implement of torture and execution, upon which the titular Christian god was executed to fulfill a blood oath. Executionists, torturers, blood magicians, nailers, death cultists, the forsaken (Psalm 22)…

          Being shephered by a higher authority is also a common theme. Sheep is right there, although some actually use that directly.

          Another common theme is the second arrival of their god, starting the end of the mortal realm and the death of all mortals. Death cultists again, apocalyptics, doomsdayers…

          There’s lots of heinous things in their book, but most reject them or are unaware. You could call out lots of things there.
