Twitter trending backfires on chrisTians

Apparently many Christians on Twitter were repeating the saying "No God, No Peace; Know God, Know Peace." They were retweeting it to try to spread the word. Well, it became the top trending topic, but kind of backfired on them...



Yes, Twitter's algorithm made "No God" and "Know Peace" trending topics, much to Christians' chagrin. Whoopsie! Then I had to go start instigating things...

"Let's hijack the trending topic, shall we? There is probably No God, so get over it and enjoy your lives #atheism"

And promoting my fellow instigators...

"Know god, no peace; No god, know peace. #atheism"
