Unrelated to the actual topic, but is anyone else starting to find this “my brother in Christ” meme really irritating? I ain’t your brother, and I don’t give a fuck about your Christ.
Nah I love it. That’s the bit, using it so nonchalantly sort of diminishes the expression. I don’t think anyone using the meme gives a fuck about a Christ either
My Brother in Christ is a recaption meme trend using “my brother in Christ” as a slang term put on top of words, most often replacing the N-word, in other meme captions to enhance the original meaning by adding a flair of polite Christianity for humorous effect.
It’s just a phrase. Like “how are you” as a greeting. Nobody who say how are you wants to know how you are or gives a shit about any answer other than “fine thanks! how are you”. Just treat MBIC the same way, maybe invent your own responses, my sister in Buddha?

Yes!!! It was funny the first time I read it in 2019, kind of. Since then it’s not been slightly funny but has gotten pretty irritating to me.
Would you prefer they go back to using the n-word instead?
Edit: maybe the downvote was because you don’t know:

Edit: fixed link.
Without context this is extremely funny though
“I don’t like this expression”
“OH YEAH? Then I’m gonna go back to using the N-word”
I didn’t say I was gonna do it! I don’t use either expression.
Colon is breaking your link, btw. Thanks for sharing, though, that was interesting.
Huh, today I learned. Thanks grue.
Go away, batin’!

I don’t ever use it, but I love it.
do you also get angry when people say “thank christ” or “jesus that was close”?
