#and I honestly… don’t like religion

[prstmmprhdl]

Art is my religion. Has always been. And I’ve never divided it into high and low. There’s a story a bit lower down my wall about the god of Arepo. About the god of small things. Because small things and dedication to them matter.

I can perceive that things are not the same. But it doesn’t matter. When you’re broken sometimes it’s the grandeur of history and hard work that saves you. Sometimes it’s the warmth of a well-known path. Sometimes it’s a change, a hope for everything in the world that is good. Sometimes it’s a moment to wallow in pain, description of the ugliness of the world. Everything is important. Everything has this potential to touch, to reach, to embrace.

I HATE “loving things ironically”. If a thing sparks something in me, I’ll burn with it until there’s nothing left of our love.

Everything deserves love, everything deserves this dedication. It doesn’t mean we should be head over hills over every single thing ever. But that we can be - over anything.

UPD: oh. It seems I’ve ratatouilled myself.

All these haters, including Lesyle Headland, make the Jedi bashing even worse because the Jedi are inspired by inspired by Asian culture, aka my people's culture and religion. Buddhism is NOT Catholicism. And to see the Jedi portrayed by an Asian woman in episode 5 get horrifically killed by Darth Annoying Asshole aka Qimir (who is portrayed by an Asian man also), Master Sol portrayed by a Asian man, and there's a Brendok witch who died in episode 7, and portrayed by Amy Tsang, an Asian woman, plus all the awful Jedi hate ("the Jedi are BAD, confirmed" NO THEY AREN'T!!!) just makes me wonder about how Disney, a Western company (run by several racist, ignorant assholes) and Lesyle Headland (thst racist BITCH) makes me really wonder about how white Westerners feel about Asians. My people and their culture deserve better than how white Westerners treated them!!!

you said it all.

I wish she would understand the complexity of your culture, which, as you said, it’s the inspiration behind the jedi order. :/

I’ve always been very interested in religion and spirituality because it’s fascinating that all different groups of humans all over the earth have developed religion and learning about it can teach us so much about humans and our complex needs. It has never been about if it’s true to me, it’s like a framework for understanding or a type of communal coping mechanism, and, like all frameworks or coping skills it has the ability to be helpful or harmful.

And with all the things a person sees nowadays with how our brains evolved to live in a very different world than we do now, like how we are bad at dealing with chronic stress from news and opinions being funneled into our brain constantly, it sort of baffles me that some people think that it’s a good idea to completely sever and discard one of the oldest ways of dealing with the randomness of life and vastness of the universe. Like, this isn’t about individual belief because I understand that some people don’t need this specific framework and they have other frameworks that help them process things, but to be like ah yes People As A Whole need to stop this Wide Ranging Human Thing That’s Existed Forever, even if they are practicing it in a non-harmful (and maybe even beneficial way). Like, be mad at the people who are using it to harm others and not people who are just chilling? Genuinely does not make sense to me

what if i brought my magen david rainbow flag into work but also buy a desk-sized palestinian flag to put next to it so that people know to stop wishing me merry christmas but also don’t make any other assumptions

i’m almost definitely not going to because it’ll be striking a hornet’s nest but getting so fucking tired of how much my team is openly assuming everyone is christian (complete with multiple explicit mentions of the church and jesus himself in our last meeting of things/people that coworkers were grateful for)

like yeah it would be inappropriate for me to bring politics to work and will probably make people uncomfortable but THEY STARTED IT

[squuote]

realizing that maybe I am just some crow who does not like labels. or at least using too many

[gods-favorite-autistic]

Literally just hearing the Applebees talk about religion at all makes it so clear to me that I could literally never go to church ever because the second I did I would somehow immediately manage to blasphemize or whatever and then get kicked out

[jeyaam]

jealous of people who find peace in their religion tbh

[allthedrugsforcreativity]

Hey. Adrian Crick is canon Jewish and wouldn't celebrate Christmas. I respect the fuck out of your holiday spirit but just as a reminder

Hey bro I have something for you

Happy Hanukkah

“there’s only one true religion/god” okay i see you didn’t watch kamigami no asobi at the age of 12 and understand that all of the gods are going to school together to learn the true meaning of love from a highschooler like damn ya don’t have to drag us all into this

i know you put redacted for a reason but can you hint or something to what that means? I wasn’t here for whatever that was and I want to understand the history

The fact that people don’t automatically know what redacted is makes my heart flutter. The world is healing.

I’ll leave it at the phandom has treated the year 2012 as a dark age because it was (despite 2011 being very happy). There was a single catalyst that made everything go from good good good to oh fuck, this is terrible, dans trauma is triggered, 13 year olds are fetishizing, oh fuck, this ruined the happiness and comfort Dan finally found after all these years, why are 13 year olds so into gay sex, bad bad bad, oh fuck.

Redacted is that catalyst

AND I’M STILL A BELIEVER BUT I DON’T KNOW WHY, I’VE NEVER BEEN A NATURAL ALL I DO IS TRY TRY TRY

i’m not christian anymore and haven’t been in years but simon peter is always going to be important to me

[steviescrystals]

Just got an ad on YouTube that was like “how do you build the kingdom of god and get rich while doing it?” My guy, YOU DON’T. Capitalism is the least Christ-like thing possible. The Bible says it is literally easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven.
