#Christian’s are weird yall

[pirateprincessjess]

When I was a kid my family pretended to get raptured so I would think I was left behind on earth while they all went to heaven.

I was like 8 years old and my sister and mom had gotten really into the Left Behind novels (bible fan fic about the rapture). In the books when the rapture happened the clothes that people were wearing when they got raptured were left behind in neatly folded piles.

One day when I was getting home from school my family decided that they would leave piles of neatly folded clothes around the house, and then hide in the basement.

The intended effect was that I would get home and see the clothes then, think that my family had been raptured and that I wasn’t good enough to get into heaven… or something?

The problem was that I had never read these books, and didn’t really think about the rapture very often. There was no reason that I would see some laundry on the floor and think “The rapture happened and I’ve been abandoned by God! I’ll never see my family again!! Oh nooo!!!!”

I just sat down and watched cartoons and eventually my family got bored and revealed that they were all hiding in the basement.

It’s a good thing I didn’t understand the joke, otherwise that shit would have been traumatic.

Okay tumblerinas, I need your attention for a few seconds.

Because of that aglet poll (see prev reblog), the Phineas and Ferb song is now stuck in my head. Which reminded me of a weird connection I made with it, and now I'm wondering if yall see it too.

The Aglet Song - does, or does it not sound like a y2k Hillsong song? The catchy, pop-y vibes? The uncessing borderline brain-washing repetition? Listen:

and now compare it with, say, Jesus Is My Superhero. Especially around the 1min mark:

Does it not sound like a children's worship song?? Slightly slowed down?? The whole mega-church vibes on the stadium too?? Do you guys see the vision??

My two cents about the whole Olympics Dionysus feast being interpreted as the last supper is that, as someone who grew up in a very christian nation and christian culture, I would never in a million years, look at a big blue man with bright beard rolling in fruit and go "they are mocking the Christ". It would never cross my mind because why would I think about my god when seeing something that's so out of pocket? I would never insult my religion and my god like that (speaking from a christian's point of view).

As a christian, if you saw all that and thought of the holy jesus and the last supper, I truly think your mind is a little bit twisted and you don't really respect your god to be seeing him in something so vulgar. (Because you denounce it as vulgar right? Yet you saw it and saw your god in it? Have you no shame?)

These religious people crying that the olympics was insulting christianity are the ones who are actually insulting it because it is them who saw something holy in something so "vulgar". Is your religion so vulgar now, that you see your god in a naked blue man surrounded with fruits? And as a Christian, I would accuse you not only of hypocrisy but of blasphemy. Who's the sinner now?

the way taylor and some of her fans think marriage is the ultimate marker of true love is wild to me but it tracks for a fandom that likes the prophecy that much tbh

Hey people of tumblr I have an idea of a way to help support Gaza. This one's especially for people living in Christian areas with a lot of mainstream acceptance of israel. It's only a few days until Christmas and as for all Gazans, things are incredibly desperate for the small population of Christian Gazans. In particular here are some articles talking about fears all Christians in Gaza will be dead soon.

So how about we call up our local churches and ask what they're doing to help the people of Palestine?

The articles I've linked come from a variety of backgrounds. Some predate oct 7th. All focus on the plight of Christians in Palestine. Take your pick for what source you think will speak to your audience.

I want you to find a church that is ignoring the genocide or even praying for israel and then point out it's not just people being murdered. It's their people being murdered. Contact your local church like "Hey I'm Name, I'm not really a member of any church these days but it's Christmas and I really want to do something to help people in Palestine. I was wondering if you have something planned over Christmas? Maybe a prayer meeting or a protest or something idk 🥺" Then if you recieve any pushback switch to "oh but I'm just sooooo worried about our fellow Christians unable to celebrate Christmas".

It's a great place to ease people into caring about genocide who normally wouldn't. And if you convince a priest they might tell their whole congregation about how this christmas they have to show up for persecuted christians in jesus' birthplace. Worth a try?

I have a secret for you!

Whatever ship it is that you're super into and feel like you shouldn't be - you're so valid. Anyone telling you otherwise is not someone you need in your life.

I dont like to be identified as queer anymore. It literally means nothing to me. I fall in love with people of any gender and often friends, so what. Dont we all. Why should i give it a name? I already have a name that wholly describes who i am, queerness included.

I understand giving it a name and wearing it proud can give you confidence and i support you because i have felt like that. But i think it is great to not make being queer a big thing. To be queer and to disagree with some queer community beliefs. To not be a stereotype or an activist.

I want to show people around me that being queer isnt the same as being extremely progressive or atheist or activist or weird or loud. That even little silent christian cis girlies can be queer as fuck. Anyone can be. Queer is not a certain type of people.

Dude.. my ex boyfriend totally did get me into conspiracy theory shit, even if unintentionally (i think its intentional im sure he believed in that shit. Would not surprise me at all.) At the time i was already pretty isolated from anyone online who mightve countered any of my dumb spiritual or alien related beliefs because of some dumb shit i said online making most of the friends and followers i made online generally avoid me, depending on who it was. I was just a regular pagan and then he showed me this weird video with all this weird conspiracy theory symbolism in it. I looked it up later on and looked up the meaning of the symbolism and came across a whole bunch of stuff posing itself as Secret Information The US Govt Doesnt Want You To Know About, etc. And then i just fell deeper into the conspiracy theory pipeline, traded my paganism for new age beliefs, and goddamn dude. Like we both got suspended from school bc he had a dumb idea to dumb shit there and i spent my time in detention fucking. Trying to read "the emerald tablets" or whatever tf. Its all coming back to me rn.
