In spite of the separation of church and state and the fact that anyone should be able to freely practice any religion they choose, an ever-increasing number of far-right conservatives have used their Christian beliefs to espouse hatred and bigotry.

An all too common attack they utilize is telling someone who disagrees with them that they're "going to Hell."

Unfortunately, this prediction rarely leads people to quake in their boots as was intended.

And instead, they're the ones who often find themselves at a loss for words when the people they verbally attack have a comeback line all prepared.


Redditor Tacobellgrande98 was curious to hear the snappiest zingers for the occassion, leading them to ask:
"What's the best response to a Christian saying 'you're going to hell'?"

"At the very most, shrug in total confusion."

"Do your best quizzical dog impression."

"They will give up and walk away, and regardless of how they try to seem outwardly, they will feel defeated, and question whether being an enormous a**hole is worth it."

"It may not last once they get back into their bubble of people who think that's a great way to act, but realistically, it's the only way to fight back."

"The minute you engage with them at all, you lose."

"Any comeback feeds into the victim complex inherently baked into Christianity."

"The only winning move is not to play."- PowermanFriendship

It can be very easy to judge others.

But one can't help but stifle their laughter at those who judge others for not being as devoutly Christian as they are.

As they are all but literally going against the beliefs they are supposedly practicing.
