Didn't read the original thread you're speaking on and don't really care enough too but If what you say is true then that is kinda pathetic. But a lot of people don't like stirring the pot and aren't confrontational or firm in their beliefs around other people with more dominant personalities.
Personally I'm not the type to shyt on anyone's beliefs like that but as far as fam or people in general bringing up going church or any of that nonsense I hit em with a quick nah. And when they ask why I tell em that if there's a god that created all of this around us and the earth with 7 billion people why would he care about anyone going to a building for an a few hours out of the week. Plus what do I look like paying money out of my pocket for another man to live better than me because he has a way with words.
My grandmothers will be live don't talk like that, I'm like

I pass. My ma straight up will be like you trying to go hell. Never really hit it off like that with a strongly religious chick and that's probably the reason because I always say the same shyt when the topic comes up. Now these half ass religious women don't really give a fukk like that
I believe in God tho because I don't think all this shyt in the universe and how it was created is possible just because of some luck type shyt but follow some outdated rules in a book that's been passed through thousands of hands and edits
I don't know why anyone would be scared of discussing it tho because it is what it is as far as what you believe and the should be no one else's concern.
