"God is a bit of a freak Why’s he watching me getting railed on the couch, staying pure for a wedding? He’s got fucked up priorities God is a bit of a freak Like what’s the fixation On hating the way he creates So why would I spend my eternity With God when hе’s a freak?” - Peach PRC

Top 5 Jesus-Centered Truths for a More Authentic Life

1. Love Over Legalism Jesus taught that true faith isn’t about following strict rules but embodying love, mercy, and justice. He challenged the Pharisees for focusing on the letter of the law instead of its heart (Matthew 23:23). To live authentically, prioritize compassion over mere compliance. Experience the powerful moment when Jesus appears to frightened Pharisees, challenging their beliefs…

tw // religious trauma, mentions of illnesses

i don't normally post heavy stuff like this, but i really needed to get this off my chest.

i have been living with pcos since i was 12. and to be completely honest, it hasn't been easy. i haven't gotten my period in a year, and my sanity is slowly slipping. but by far the worst part of it all, is being dragged to countless evangelical revivals and conventions in order to 'fix' whatever's wrong with me. i hate being the scapegoat for something i know nothing about. why should i have to suffer? i hate the feeling of a hand being placed on my head pushing me to the cold, hard ground. i hate being told that's it's my fault. now my mother's dragging me to another pastor's church in HOUSTON for fuck sake. ive already told her i don't want to go to something i don't even believe in. and she still won't see that her child is silently suffering so much that they're willing to trust literal strangers on the internet. i hate it i hate it i hate it i hate it i hate it i hate it i hate it

I learned that Real Christianity was Gay Friendly when I was in high school through a friend named Brittany who was a Christian and an Ally, this is when the whole Healing Journey began

I really need people to realize and respect that queer Christians can and do exist. 

They are not wrong for being queer and they are not wrong for being Christians. They are not traitors to their faith and they are not traitors to their queerness.

Can also apply to other things. Ex. constitutional originalism in the US

Content Warning: religion and transphobia⚠️

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ I made a comic reflecting on my church upbringing as an eXvangelical trans person. The Jesus conservative Christians claim to represent looked lot more like many of the LGBTQ+ friends I know and love. Just some food for thought 💖

I Know Why You're Afraid To Come To Jesus(an open letter to people who haven't given their lives to Jesus)

I know why you're afraid to come to Jesus,

you fear that you'll have to stop being you in order to follow God incarnate,

but if you really knew Jesus, then you would know that he wants you to be yourself more than anything,

you see, Jesus Loves You for who you really are, he wants you to rip off the mask and the chains of oppression, he wants your true self to come to him with an open heart and open arms,

you see, Jesus doesn't want us to change our personalities, he loves our individualities, what he does want us to change however is our bad behaviors, our behaviors that hurt ourselves and others, that's what Jesus would call sinful behaviors

I know why you're afraid to come to Jesus,

you're afraid that if you did you would have to leave the entire world behind,

but in reality, God wants you to come back out to the world to preach the Good News, that Jesus is alive and that through him we are a new creation

I know why you're afraid to come to Jesus,

but it's time to let your fears die

it's time to come back home to where we all originally came from

don't be afraid to become your true self through Jesus

this is the true meaning of being Born Again

[winged-thinged]

You have to let people love you. You have to let people get to know you. You have to let people help you. Being so completely selfless that you try to erase yourself off the face of the planet and never ask for anything and reject everybody's offers of support makes you very hard to love! Unfortunately. Emptying yourself out of everything that makes you, you is not actually what your loved ones want from you, generally. They want to make you happy! They will be so so sad if you don't give them the chance. It's not all selfish. I promise.

Hi I, an atheist, am reading the Bible for some reason (not the whole thing) and I'm reading a Bible that was given to me as a child (translation is NLT). Want to see some homophobic Bible translation.

"THEY BECAME THE BEST OF FRIENDS"

"NO HOMO, BIBLE EDITION"

Want to see how an accurate Bible translation does this verse?

LOVED HIM AS HIS OWN SOUL

THAT'S SOME GAY SHIT RIGHT THERE

DON'T DENY ME THAT, NLT

[escaping-amish]

I love how he finds the words to describe the concepts that float around my head daily ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love him!

*pulling out the biblical inerrancy brick and/or putting in the cultural context is important brick into my theological framework*

*theological plinko ensues*

Oh shit, oh fuck I can be gay now?

[babybup]

God is a God Of Love and Variety, of course he created Gay People, he creates any type of people

Whenever someone says God can't make people gay, it takes a lot of self-control not to say that telling The Good Lord what He can and can't do with His creation is not a hill I'd want to die on

[audreyrose7]

I think about this all the time.

i’ve read so much tradcath bullshit the last two years. i can confidently say tradcath men fit into one of two categories:

“protestant-raised and converted to catholicism because of his crippling porn addiction and racist tendencies. reposts crusader and conquistador memes. is hated in his local parish.” tradcath

“catholic-raised band kid who ate his lunches with the religion teacher. smells like mildew. cut off all his friends that came out as gay after high school. now larps as an aquinian scholar and cries after jerking off.” tradcath

[pretentious-librarian]

i dont want god’s forgiveness. i want HIM to apologize to ME.
