I really, really want to send this as a reply to the person who posted this, but she used to work with me and she’s still friends with a bunch of people there. It’s not worth the workplace awkwardness.
In my experience many religious people have a very entitled attitude about this, where they can assert their delusions as reality publicly but anyone who calls out their bullshit is spewing hate speech.
And if they can’t bring down some kind of authority, they’ll work in secret combinations to fuck around with you (the sheer irony)
Goddamn I hate the “we can agree to disagree, so long as my side is the culturally acceptable one that we can advocate for in the office, but yours is HR hate speech” attitude so many religious people have
Don’t. Don’t push your ideology on people even if they do. Be better.
Plus, there is no point in arguing about religion with a religious person, their belief is not rooted in logic and reason, so logic and reason won’t change their minds. Just let them be and live your life however you prefer.

I’m not saying you should, but if she gets offended by that then it’s her own problem.
She made a snarky post, you left an equally snarky response. If she can’t handle rational responses, then don’t post irrational claims.
But idk… Maybe she’s a snowflake
Isn’t “not handling rational responses to irrational claims” the basis of religion?

It’s particularly frustrating that the unreasonable people get to set the level of discourse simply by lacking in self-awareness or tact.
Truth. Which is why I’m working to be as unreasonable as they are, but in the right direction
