So, I met this guy awhile ago at church. I friended him on facebook, we talked and flirted, and he seemed like a cool guy. When I changed my profile pic to an anthro, he immediately commented with, "what are you all furries or something? God hates you, you know that right? (he proceeds to quote from the bible) No one even likes furries, they represent everything wrong with the world." At first I thought he was just trolling, since we had been pretty friendly before. But..turns out he actually hates me now, just for being a fur.
Yeah, I deleted him.
-
sorry to hear that. oh and ignore terrorists and the like, its the furries that are making this world bad. *exasperated face goes here*
-
Some people are just horrible people and will proceed to not even try to understand anything different. And I would like to know where in the Bible it says that "God hates furries", because I'm christian and I don't recall ever coming across it.
-
Wow, that's pretty lame. :/
Sorry to hear that. Some people just refuse to listen to anything once they've made up their mind about something.
-
You know super religious people, they say that god hates everything and everyone that they don't agree with
maybe god hates HIM for being an insufferable jerk!
-
I want to talk to this guy on an IRC... Maybe you caould find a furry friendly priest and get him to tell the other one to Repent. I would love to hear that story.
-
And here I thought you should be kind to your neighbour...
-
I have to laugh at his flawed reasoning.
In what way do we represent what is wrong with the world?
-
why don't you tell us what the guys facebook name is?
-

Please don't, drexyip.
No matter how big of a jerk the guy could be, he has the right to his privacy, and we're not going to gather ourselves up to go troll him.
-
Not to troll, but to talk... understand him and his reasons for hating furries, and then we have before ourselves a way to be able to break those boundaries.
-
I have been a protestent Christian my entire life and know quite a bit about my religion.
The thing is, many people, including Christians, do not understand that god loves EVERYONE. No matter how sinful or ignorant you are, God will never turn his back on you. God does not discriminate people for anything.
You made the right decision to delete him as your friend. I can not stand people like him.
-
You're what all Christians should be like, Fluffles. :)
-
Times like these that make me a proud atheist :P
-
There are just as many bad and evil, narrow minded and ignorant Atheists... But we tend to have "better" reasons for it maybe?
-
Not to be an ass, but things like that are going to happen. If the person is that shallow, you didn't even really need to bother with them anyway.
-
Ignorance ever so bliss...
-
But of course furries are the root of all evil! I mean, look at all the bad, terrible things they do, just because they're a furry!
For example:
Uh...
Er...
Gah...
Um...
You know what i'm talking about, and you should be ashamed!*
*While to may be taken to be offensive to those without a sense of humor, this is not infact bashing furries, but sarcastically bashing the jerks who would say something like this.
-
Was not the love of money the root of all evil?
-
People like that do kind of annoy me, but I don't really let them get to me.
why don't you tell us what the guys facebook name is?
Please don't, drexyip.

Well done, me lad! Well done! 0:)

I used to be Religious but then I watched my companion cube burn....

Somehow at that moment, when I was forced to kill my best friend.....
I lost hope.

That is such a sad moment..
I feel sorry for people that use religion as a reason to avoid things they don't know, that certainly including furdom.

Seriously? *facepaw*
Times like these make me ashamed of being christian. Why can't those religious people realize that God does not hate or discriminate? On the contrary, God loves everyone and is willing to forgive sinners despite whatever wrong they may have caused.
-
Wow, some guy.
Don't be sad it happened for a reason, made you more aware of what to do and who to look for, he is not for you at all friend or not, he did not accept you then don't accept and be with him.
It's ok! I accept you! xD
-
◆ Welp, then he is not your friend at all... True friends accept each other no matter what.
In my case, if they're my friends, I just try to tell them it's okay because it's their opinion but we have to accept each other no matter what we like or dislike, our preferences and personal likings, and of course, that if they will not accept me, tell them to please stop talking with me if they please. I do respect their opinions about me though, because I like to respect everyone, and in the end nobody thinks in the same way, may they be my friends, enemies or neither. That way, sometimes, things can be worked out ^_^ But not even that helps sometimes, that's when the other person just... Is not a good friend at all :(
As Fluffles said, in this case, many people overreact about their religions to the extent they don't even understand it well.
I had been discriminated for the same thing (not religion involved, though) even when I don't say I'm a furry myself, but I just let people decide if I am or not! People blinded by ignorance shall always exist, sadly.
-
The way that I deal with those kind of people, is by either: a. completely forgetting about them , destroying all memories of them b. Seek vengence for the rest of your life.
-
Sounds like a lot of work just for one single person. You're gonna meet a lot of them in a lifetime.
I say just accept and avoid.
-
he sounds like an idiot. i mean you said that you two were friends then the guy suddenly hates you because he found out your a furry. i say you did the right thing ditching him completely.
and sorry, couldn't resist putting these up.

Is this a fur discrimination thread or an anti Christian thread..?
-
I was just about to say the same myself. Guys, not all Christians hate furries or act like that. Honestly, even though I think you may be doing it in good humor, you're doing the same to Christians right now that you're getting all angry about people doing to you. I'd appreciate if all the Christian kicking would stop here and we get back on topic to anything helpful or retaining to Drexylp and their situation.
-
I actually think most of the good advice that is to give is already out here. At least at the beginning of the thread. :)
-
Agreed.
And to avoid further flaming... Locked.
