The thread title is the headline from the Slate article, verbatim

Unbelievable

quote:

When my husband and I moved into our new house, I was thrilled to find out that the family living across the street had a 7-year-old, “Elizabeth,” the same age as our daughter, “Emily.” The parents were also wonderful in welcoming us to the neighborhood. I admit, I had fantasies of a repeat of my own childhood, where my best friend lived on the same block and our parents often socialized. Then Elizabeth’s parents invited us to their church and we turned them down, making it clear we weren’t interested. Suddenly, they became politely distant neighbors. I’ve looked into their church and found out it’s fiercely evangelical.

Yes. Treat them differently like you would black people.

I love how leftists have made religious people the greatest evil and threats to the world.


They'll let little Suzie roll around on the floor with a 45 year old man dressed in drag who calls himself "Pickle Tickler Tony" and brand the act as "modern" and "progressive", but God forbid the neighbors go to church on Sunday and have bibles sitting on their coffee tables out in the open.

These people with their pop-culture morality make America look weak and shred any possibility of community.

The Christian family is the one who should be asking that question.

Now replace the word 'Evangelical' with 'Muslim', 'Buddhist', or 'Satanist'. Those types of headlines will never exist out of fear of offending these other faiths, yet they single out Christianity.

Let's ponder that for a moment.

Sounds like religious family got distance first?

I had the exact same thought

Does it? The woman said they became "politely distant," which I assume means they stopped inviting her to their church once she told them she wasn't interested

Had they continued to invite her, she would be bitching about that because it's not their behavior she finds offensive. It's their existence she finds offensive

I wonder what triggers the author to describe the church this way. I'm sure no gay flags to be seen is top of the list.

I also find it funny that she throws that in there after she looked them up after she already adamantly refused. As if her decision would change if it were a "cool" church.

If I were the neighbor I'd let the girls play with each other but never alone at this broads place.

They can be separated eternally. The mom will burn in Hell, peacefully away from uncomfortable conversations with people who have morals.

Don’t worry. They don’t want their kid playing with your kid.

Yes. Because woke doctrine is much like the doctrine ISIS followed. Zero tolerance for those with different beliefs.

If their daughter plays with the neighbor kids, and a chink appears in the extremely rigid woke armor her parents constructed for her... then her parents will make the lives of those neighbors a living hell.

I mean you should expect this as the norm and be okay with it. I don't really want to associate with religious fundamentalists of any kind because they are probably boring as hell and no fun

Most likely what happened is the Christian neighbors rightly decided that their immoral new neighbors might be a bad influence on their daughter. But the new folks are oblivious to this type of scenario in their SJW righteousness.

The writer yada-yadaed past what she said when the neighbors invited them to church. I would guess the response was inflammatory and demeaning.
