This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon should just tell the parable of the drowning man and then just say, that's why I'm breaking up with you.

What is the parable of the drowning man?

[–] Quexotic@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lol. I see what you did there. Very clever.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

No I'm genuinely asking.

I'll add to the other reply. The moral of the story is that God helps those who helps themselves. This is why I thought you were being funny, because if you were helping yourself, then you would look it up.

Sorry for the assumption.

I looked it up.

Really Christian person refuses aid during a flood, stating that god would save them. They then die and ask god why their salvation wasn't enough to save them. God tells them that they sent the rescuers, which the drowning man turned down.

That he’s breaking up with you.
