[thishazeleyeddemon]

Hi! I'm fundraising for my club again!

We need to raise

500$

In order to be able to host a speaker, Darrel Ray of Recovering From Religion at Sacramento State!

On October 12, 2023 we will be hosting Dr. Darrel Ray from Recovering From Religion! This is our chapter's first event and we would love to have Dr. Ray visit our campus and discuss his work at Recovering From Religion and the psychological implications of religious trauma.

Dr. Darrel W. Ray is author of four books, two on organizational team issues, The God Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture which explores the social-psychology of religion and his latest book, Sex and God: How Religion Distorts Sexuality. He has been a psychologist for over 30 years, practicing counseling and clinical psychology for 10 years then moved into organizational psychology and consulting. He has been a student of religion most of his life and holds a MA degree in religion as well as a BA in Sociology/Anthropology and a Doctorate in psychology.

Easter, eh?

Easter, a time of remembrance or celebration, or a good excuse for a few days off and go bush before the real winter sets in. TL;DR Who knows? You do you. Go in peace. My past is a bit of a mixture of different Christian traditions with some Hinduism and Buddhism tacked on. Early years in Catholic schools featured a mostly naked figure bleeding on a cross. Following school the…

As someone who went to Germany and spent like 70% of the time in churches, Von karma sibling growing up Christian head canons is so fucking personal to me

destiel with religious under/overtones is so close to me, which is insane because i grew up religious and have since denounced it. but it makes me understand what was always wrong and lost on me because loving is holy, it is worship and sin, and it is devine devotion.

My ever after high playlist has a lot of songs about religious trauma and the misuse of religion. The Garden by the crane wives, Preach by Jessie Page, Hieroglyphs by the oh hellos, so on. And that is a VERY deliberate choice.

augghhh I’m hitting such a wall in my life and have been spiraling so so so so so so so much my meds are barely doing anything and when I start to spiral and freak out and worry that I’m not doing enough I think of Shigeo kageyama. And life is ok.

INTRO PAGE PLEASE READ

Hello and welcome to my new and super cool blog! You can call me star and I generally use he/him pronouns. I'm in high school so please be aware of my immaturity. This super cool and awesome blog is for my self improvement journey! It's also dedicated to Lord Ares.

Why am I going on a self-improvement journey? Because I feel like ✨shit✨. That and I am currently grieving and trying to move on from a very unhealthy crush I have had on a friend. It was borderline obsessive and wasn't healthy for me or them. I think I've been really obsessed with relationships recently, which would usually be considered normal for teenagers, but mine has been, as I said before, obsessive and unhealthy for me and everyone involved.

So this blog is for me to work on myself and record my progress, and then hopefully, someday in the future, I can look back on this blog and see how far I've improved! It's a really exciting idea :)

I am going to do my absolute hardest to tag everything appropriately and put warnings at the top of every post if I think there is something there that could harm someone.

Now the less fun part: rules

This is my blog and account. I am in charge of the content I see and interact with. If you do not agree with the things I like or the things I post, then block me.

Any hate, bigotry, or bullying will be tolerated. I will delete things, I will block people. You get one chance to not be an asshole before you are gone.

DO NOT INTERACT WITH THIS BLOG IF

You are over the age of 25, you post p0rn, you are pro @n@, you are transphobic or homophobic, you post purposefully triggering content, you are unaccepting of other people's religions, and you lack critical thinking skills.

PLEASE INTERACT AND BE MY FRIEND IF

you are under 25, you are also on a self-improvement journey, you are a cool little queer person, you are interested in theatre or classics, you are a Hellenic polytheist, you are kind!

My tags cause that's a really cool thing I see people do!

Star reflects -> my super awesome reflections on myself, my life, and my beliefs. These may be sad, they may be happy! That's the joy of reflections :)

Star motivation -> motivation for me or you to live your best life

Star is funny -> my silly little posts/reposts that I found funny and want to share with you ;)

Okay, that's all love you bye!

It would be one thing if it was just a popular headcanon but I’m so tired of fans acting like it’s actually official canon that Ryu is asexual which not only has Capcom has never stated that but there are numerous examples of Ryu fighting off his urdges because he’s trying to save his dick for Buddha

Thinking about that time when I was pressured into giving my testimony by not only my peers but also one of the religious leaders at my church even though I kept stating I didn't want to and was uncomfortable.

And then when I finally did, the testimony I told was about how I'd learned that not all Christians were good people and about how people had used god, Christianity, and their authority to hurt me and people I loved and how I was having to seperate the way they acted from the beliefs I held and then everyone looked at me like this:
