"You don't know what's best for you." the arrogance.

[sapphichazard]

"You would thank me *after* the brainwashing so that makes it okay" is a terrifying take.

[steveyuhas]

Harper is near incapable of thinking for themself. Just the question itself in the beginning betrays the gargantuan amounts of indoctrination that have been jammed into their head. When they say "I know you have trauma", I can practically hear the pastor coaching them as they talk. The question about social justice is the same crap. It's a script that has been programmed into them. And it's sad really, I'm not mad at Harper. But this programming has turned Harper into an absolutely disgusting person instead of teaching them to think for themselves. This is just so disheartening to listen to for me, it's just really sad.

[inthedark]

Wow what a complete psychopath so you would push a button to steal people's free will

[countroshculla]

"Hearts are hardened" - What a juvenile way of thinking!

[tekbarrier]

"I find this to be the case with a lot of atheists"

No you don't

[kowoh]

Wow creepy caller, so much so I’m not even upset. I’d never over ride someone’s free will. The audacity is bizzare.

[JanetStarChild]

"Hardened heart" is such an asinine euphemism for 'skeptical'. Christianity makes adults talk like children.

[Lorenzo_That_Vegan_Dad]

Imaginary characters can't push any buttons unless said button is also imaginary, and you imagine him pushing it.

[tekbarrier]

"I know what's best for you because a book says that I get to live forever so I want to force that on you and if you don't agree with me, it's not because of a lack of evidence, it's just because you've hardened your heart and don't want to accept that I'm right."

🙄

[Syrnian]

WOW, Harper would force everyone to worship Jesus. That is disgusting.

[Syrnian]

It is sick what Harper's parents have done.

[rashadbeybutov]

If it was Matt receiving this call he would be fuming, because the caller calls him a liar 😄

[Ninhotep]

This is what happens when belief is your number one priority, an eternal belief measuring contest. They are literally scared to say or think the “wrong” thing.

[isaoblack]

1) God desires a thing. 2) God is omnipotent. 3) God cant enact the thing he desires because reasons. One of these things cannot be true.

[eatsbugs]

Despair can be survived. But when you die with religion in you, you are only in despair.

[briannelson]

I would slap the hypothetical "no religions" button so hard. imagine a world with out mlms, crypto, conspiracy theories, christianity, conservatism, maga, q anon, flat earth, etc. It would be so great for everybody.

[yescats]

It was very noticeable to me how “wrong” the button pushing idea started to feel when this flipped over to the button making everyone religious.

[alnmcintyre]

My heart is definitely hardened, and I swear I'm going to deal with it by stopping my endless consumption of puzza and cheeseburgers. Any day now. Honest.

[cedarandsound]

Sounds like a poe using a voice changer.
