Imagine the sad life of the religious zealot that works at a Target fulfillment center that thinks they are going to make a difference slipping in some bibles over some gay books.

It’s not meant to change minds. It’s meant to be an insult.

yeah they dont give a fuck who the other person is, this is about themselves and making themselves feel good or powerful. It's really pathetic.

Yeah as a Christian this was a shitty move. They didn’t deserve that. Whoever sent that was judging them and wanted them to know.

I've engaged with a few people like this and it's fascinating. I got them to admit that their behavior was definitely turning people away from religion but they were totally unphased by this. I don't think it's so much an insult, and they just don't have a grasp on consequences.

I also once met a grayhound that had zero socialization with humans. Great dog but it would go for your plate, you'd push it away and it would keep going back like you were the wind and not a person. I moved my plate out of its reach and it wandered off looking for another.

I think it's more like that.

i’ve got a lot of mormon extended family and i feel very similar to how you said this. My grandma gave my parents a bible when my stepmom came into the picture, which they were both offended by (obviously) but at the same time my dad kinda knew it wasn’t necessarily malicious, just wasn’t them thinking 100%. if i remember right, my grandma got all her children a new bible that year i think (could be wrong, i was very little and only really remember stories)

You get it. They said "fuck your queer nonsense" and it's hilarious.

u/semitope 9d ago

That doesn't rise to zealot level.

u/SuFuDoom 9d ago

Well, a zealot is generally a derogatory term meaning overly fanatical. Are you saying this was the appropriate amount of fanaticism? Is there another word you'd suggest replacing "zealot" with?

u/Olivaar2 9d ago

It's trolling. So now the troll gets to sit back and look at reddit stories with a picture of some triggered guy and then reading the triggered comments like the ones you are making. He doesn't care about the bible, he wanted a laugh.

u/semitope 9d ago

Trolling isn't fanaticism. This is similar to that. You're overreacting

u/SuFuDoom 9d ago

Overreacting? I'm merely asking you for clarification. You're making a sweeping assumption about my feelings on the matter just based on my asking, "wdym?"

You: makes claim

Me: wdym

You: OMG CHILL OUT DUDE

u/semitope 9d ago

Based on your use of the word zealot. Strong words imply strong feelings. What was done is trolling

1

u/SuFuDoom 9d ago

Yeah, but was I the one who called anyone a zealot?

Are you now trolling me or is this a reading comprehension issue?

u/semitope 9d ago

I don't pay attention to names really.

Seems you called it fanaticism instead

u/SuFuDoom 9d ago

Reading comprehension issue. Got it.

u/semitope 9d ago

whatever makes you happy

u/Classic_Elevator7003 8d ago

It was obviously a mistake. Of course in your eyes nobody has ever gotten the wrong thing in the mail in human history, right?

u/fwango 8d ago

with the way target fulfillment works, this couldn’t have occurred by mistake; you use an electronic device when you’re picking items for fulfillment orders, and you have to scan the barcode of the correct item when picking to have it marked as completed. What happened here was an employee grabbed the correct books along with a Bible, scanned them so the order would complete, then intentionally substituted them.

u/mikewishesdeath 9d ago

Imagine thinking any of this actually happened lmao
