Once in Royal David's city

stood a lowly cattle shed

Where a mother laid her baby

You'd do well to remember

the things he later said.

Current Thoughts

Based on my experience, in America (and other more progressive countries), it’s so easy to lose sight of what it means and entails to be a Christian. The Bible tells us to vilify ourselves, sell everything we own, help and love others in the same we would like to be helped and loved. When we have choices, we choose the comfortable route opposed to radical Christianity.

TERFs and various transphobes are scapegoating trans men and testosterone, even though the shooter was not trans. In fact she seems to have been one of their own someone who self ID'd as a radical feminist and wanted to kill all men. Absolutely disgusting behavior.

western women in privileged countries, when feminists from the global south tell you to watch out for white men and that your superiority complex won't save you, it is not an insult, it is a warning

what happens to women in the global south isn't happening because we have dark skin or non-european cultures. the threat that terrorizes us openly that makes you feel pity for us is not unique to us. that threat is in your bed, too.

I love radfems that aren’t afraid to criticise certain religions.

I would like to see more of it tbh, a lot more.

I live in a country that is not very religious, and so sometimes feminists in my country don’t address it as much as they should. Think about the entire worlds population and the prevalence of religion in society, its impact on culture, the government, the law. Almost all of the oppressive ideology promoted by major religions is aimed at women.

Here’s just a few things that major religions promote/justify:

- Child marriage

- Sex slavery

- Purity culture

- Modesty culture

- Victim blaming

- Less inheritance for women

- Women’s witness testimony worth less than a man

- Silencing of women in public spaces

- Polygamy only for men

- Gendered stereotypes

- No financial freedom for woman

- Physical abuse

- Emotional and verbal abuse

The list goes on and on and on, this just scrapes the surface.

I honestly argue that these religions should be one of main things we address and fight against. They are the blueprint of modern patriarchy.

Religion is just an excuse for blatant misogyny. Argue with a wall on this

The misconception of Christ

The common modern view of Jesus Christ is warped and a totally wrong view from what Christ actually is.

The modern view of Christ is of a kind, almost "chill dude" who accepted all and told not to judge, this is very very very wrong!

Let us start with the first one, a kind man, this is true, he is a kind man, but that does not mean he didn't get angry, because he did. For example, when he went to the synagogue (which had been turned into a market) he was extremely angry at the shopkeepers and flipped tables and chased them with a whip.

The second misconception is that he accepted all. Again is this wrong, he accepted people who came to him, not of those who blasphemed against the father.

The third misconception is that he told not to judge, this is also very wrong, what he DID tell us, was to not judge based on appearance but according to righteous judgement, see John 7:24.

When he returns, he comes with a sword, as Matthew 10:34-36 states.

So overall, Christ is our saviour, a kind man who forgives us when we repent, but do not think he accepts our sinful behaviour if we keep sinning, we must pray for guidance away from sin.

Amen.

religion will be like, it's because women talk to animals and eat fruit that childbirth is so painful, and the soil so hard to work! Not because we took away all of the midwives and created horrendous agriculture practices
