also literally jesus was like "oh thomas thou of little faith" but the other disciples also like. believed bc they SAW you??? what makes you think they would believe you if they hadn't? and how convenient that the religion is telling me I'll be extra blessed if I believe without any proof 😁😁😁

anyways what is up with "blessed are those who believe without seeing"? likeee i thought we have to be careful not to listen to fake prophets? how are we dumb humans supposed to know lol?

haven't posted for a while but that gospel from a few weeks ago was so fucked up. the one where some woman was pleading w jesus to cure her daughter and jesus said "food for the children should not be given to dogs". sir why are YOU, THE SON OF MAN, being so mean

i’m beginning to think there’s a kind of indestructibility that comes with the territory of your first heartbreak being from your parents.

like, what are you going to do to hurt me? my superheroes chose religion over me. good try though

being an ex catholic is like, i grew up in this community. i never felt at home in it. now that i’m in the process of officially breaking away i can’t help but wonder if leaving was the right decision for me. i know that leaving was the right decision for me. i never want to set foot in a church again, and yet i can’t help but feel drawn to the artistic beauty of cathedrals. i think i believe in guardian angels. i’m not sure i ever believed in god. if god is real he will have a lot to answer for when i am dead. i’m no longer terrified of hell, because i think i’d prefer an afterlife separated from god to no afterlife at all. i’m scared of what comes next. i don’t want to die. i am so, so angry at everyone who’s hurt me and my friends in the name of eternal life.

"not all christians"

Then fucking be louder than the ones screaming violent hate the way the rest of us breathe oxygen. Because until you're loudly opposing them, continuously, even when it's "inconvenient", you're complacent in their hate. You're complacent in their abuse. That's on your hands. Hope you're ready to answer to your god for that.

Thinking about all of the times my family would bend over backwards to justify why actually, all of the passages in the Bible about slavery and women being inferior to men were totally taken out of context, as if there's a context where slavery and patriarchy aren't fucking horrible

It’s like. Yeah I was raised Catholic. Yes I am angry. No I don’t believe anymore. I still say a Hail Mary when I get scared in my home alone. My mother told me she knew there was something off because I never cared about praying as a child. I haven’t been to church in years. I still consider my full name as including my confirmation name. I am so fucking angry at God. I kept a rosary in my car and when I got in an accident that totaled it but didn’t hurt me, I secretly thought maybe the rosary protected me. I have to stop myself from scoffing when my family talks to me about religion. I am wearing a Celtic cross and a miraculous medal right now. I do not believe anymore. I don’t know what I believe anymore.

Yesterday at Pride, I was handed a flyer about how god loves queer people. The flyer contained several bible verses meant to reassure that god really does love us and he doesn’t care if we’re queer. 

While for some people this may be comforting and I understand that, I can’t help but see it as empty promises. 

If your god is so good, so loving, so accepting, why do you have to tell us specifically?

If your religion includes queers, why has this not always been clear from the very start?

If your texts has verses about god loving us, why are there also verses about condemning us?

Why do there have to be groups of christians calling themselves “progressive” and “lgbt friendly”, to specifically separate them from all those hateful, vile churches who want nothing more but to destroy and kill every last queer person alive, if your god really does love and support us?

(sorry for adding !!)

was just made to pray the seven sorrows rosary and i am once again reminded to "accept all the suffering god deems it necessary to send our way" . like haha god is loving and merciful but also makes us Suffer on purpose, starting from his own son. he wants to cancel our debt but he cant do that without the goriest death ever!! he cant just strike through our sins and let us into heaven. we need to grovel and remember each year how bloody and gruesome it was!

can we talk about how absolutely cruel god was to jesus

I hate hate hate when pastors are like -- how much time are you giving to god this week? You're spending hours on social media but not even a single hour in the word! Your passions and hobbies might be idols actually.

And I just want to say... you're allowed to enjoy things. It's not wrong to have things you're passionate about. It's a good thing actually. They enrich your life, not take away from it. It's okay if you find those things more exciting than the Bible. I promise you. Please have fun.
