This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Growing up Jewish in the American southeast, Rugrats was literally all I had. Sometimes Christians can just get fucked.

imagine growing up entirely unaffiliated with anyone's imaginary friends.... in places like louisiana and alabama.

'which church do you go to?'

none

'no, honey, where do you go on sunday mornings?'

the kitchen, for cereal.

'oh lord you must worship the devil himself'

lady, if I don't believe in your imaginary friend why would I believe in his imaginary enemy?

Don't have to imagine lol Judaism is my heritage and culture but it's never been my religion. Not since my family was thrown out of a synagogue for insisting on Palestinian's rights when I was young. It is scary, being told you don't have any morals because you don't believe in eternal damnation. Sort of makes you grateful that person does believe in hell if it's the only thing keeping him in line. It's like the old Ricky Gervais bit: "If you don't believe there is a God to answer to why don't you go round raping & murdering as much as you want?" "I do, as much as I want, which is not at all."

Your family sounds based as fuck. I'd like to join; do you have any eligible women between 20 and 35 for me to attempt to court?

yeah there seems to be a consistent thing in nutbag adults that they love to scare children with their own psychosis-driven fearmongering. as if they're driven to pass on the infection via shared trauma.

The south is so polarizing for me. I have relatives who live in southern states amd visit often. Compared to northeastern states, everyone down south is soooooooo fucking nice and polite and out going. Yet somehow, on avg, also the dumbest and slowest moving people I've ever seen in my life. Never in a rush. Always got this and God that.

Fuck me running tho they got the best fucking cookout food in the world. BBQ, corn bread, Mac and cheese, greens, its all like a coming of age thing. You turn 13 and you either learn your family recipes or get banished north of the Mason Dixon line

My bad. Just switched from Sync app to Thunder app and was still learning its mechanics. The Thunder app wasn't giving me any indication comments were being posted. The comment window would stay open and even when I backed out of it the comment thread wouldn't show my comment until I backed out of the post comments and reopened them.
