God Damn it, I Don't Even Know

I swear, the next time a Christian tries to compare the Holocaust to the death of Jesus, I may just start screaming.  I mean what the hell?  How is that even a thing you say to someone?  And yes, this is not the first time I have heard this one.   God fucking damn.

Exactly, they're trying, they're really trying to be empathetic, which is why when instead of giving them a pat on the back, I point out that what they said is actually really horrible, even when I'm really nice about it, they get angry with me, because they're trying to be good people.

I have noticed lately that when someone says something like this to me, I get a particular smile on my face, that means "You just said something unspeakable to me, and you have no idea, and I would tell you, but you would get mad, and nice Jewish/disabled/queer/female kids grow up learning never to make Gentiles/non-disabled people/straight people/men mad."
