If Jesus was real, Christians would absolutely hate him. But then again, they've already done that by crucifying him.

[apostate-in-an-alcove]

Oh damn the Catholics have joined in on the war against AI "art".

ALL MY FRIENDS HATE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

[queerorthodoxy]

If you're going to be a Christian you need to acknowledge its history of violence and colonization so you do not continue the violence!!!!

It's not that I hate fanon or that I think fanon is inherently less intelligent or morally wrong, but a LOT of fanon is based in racism, misogyny, and classism that I feel like a lot of you accept without question.

WHY is Duke (Daredevil, son of a god, has never once allowed himself to be defined by anyone's actions but his own) relegated to a background role, only characterized by reacting to the whims of other bats?

Why is Babs - Birds of Prey leader and backbone of the hero society, tells Bruce to fuck off and die 4 times a day and is constantly ruining her relationships by being biased and unhinged - Gotham bound, the mature responsible mom of the group who never argues with Bruce and never gets in trouble?

Why is Dick, both a tactical genius and master manipulator, a himbo only appreciated for his sex appeal? Especially when he is both Romani (group of people demonized and condemned as hypersexual by their nature alone) and an SA victim.

WHY is Damian "feral" and "uncivilized" despite being raised as a literal prince? Half of you treat him like a sociopath with no hope of redemption for an unfunny three second joke and the other half of you go full throttle into Bruce's white savior bullshit so that Damian can be "redeemed". Y'know when you're not villainizing Talia and acting like Dick is his other parent, actually.

WHY is Stephanie - extremely intelligent detective who can't stand Bruce and has a living mother she loves - lumped in as another member of the Batfam, a blonde ditz who only cares about prank wars and emotionally supporting Tim?

WHY is Cass - intelligent, a grown adult, suicidal perfectionist - emotionally intelligent, primarily existing to support the characters around her, immediately accepting of everyone she meets regardless of her own morals?

Why is Bruce the golden standard? Enough so that though everyone in the fandom could agree that he's an emotionally unstable wreck, being considered "the most like him" is seen as a compliment and not the HIGHEST insult? Everyone would agree if I said that Bruce purposely self sabotages his relationship half the time and the other half he simply does things without caring about the emotional impact it will have on people because he has to be the smartest in the room, but if I said that makes him a shit partner and emotionally abusive parent the fandom would bend over backwards to argue with me.

Why is Tim "the best Robin" when Dick Grayson invented the mantle, it is impossible for someone to embody the spirit of Robin better than him because he made it and he created what being Robin means. Maybe Tim is the best in Bruce's eyes, but what Robin means and who has the right to give it over was a significant thing they argued about. Tim the high school drop out, and yet also somehow the smartest? Tim "the most like Bruce" except no he's not, that's Cass. Poor neglected, abused, victimized little Timmy (the rich boy at the elite boarding school with loving albeit busy parents and almost every instance of him being victimized by another character has either been racist bullshit - The Al Ghuls and Rose Wilson- or a complete 180 for the character that made no sense when examined through the lens of prior characterization - Jason for instance.)

Almost every fanon trope that gets passed around like gospel seems to deliberately push POC characters and women into the background and strip them of interesting complex traits and stories, usually for the purpose of fitting them all into bite sized incorrect quote character types and uncomplicated narrative roles that are not only completely divergent from canon, but primarily exist to prop up the two rich white boys.

Also the insistence that Bruce, a 20 year old at the time, should actually be excused for how much he mentally and emotionally fucked Dick up because really they're more like siblings! While deciding that Dick at the same age was actually the perfect candidate to be Damian's new parent/guardian...have you lost the fucking plot you don't even make sense to yourselves.

Okay I lied at the beginning, I do hate fanon. You guys are so uncritical about the media you consume it is BEYOND just letting people enjoy things and have fun. I guess it's one thing if you KNOW this stuff isn't canon and UNDERSTAND why these tropes are problematic and you engage with it as such, it's fine read and write what you want, but just spreading the same nonsense around and parading it around as "better than canon" (version of the character so bland and boring you've somehow made the old white men at DC look like geniuses in the art of representation) is just infuriating.

You do not have to stay up and wait. The end of the world is not coming. You do not have to act as a witness. Nothing bad will happen if you close your eyes. Go to sleep. The man called Jesus is dead. The terror of that night was over a long time ago. Humans hurt each other all the time. It doesn't mean anything. There is nothing you can do about it right now. It's late. The world will still be there in the morning.

Go to sleep.

Birth control and abortion were not made legal to allow women to have control over their bodies. It was invented to add the domestic population to the work force.

[mazzystar24]

Frank,you’re fired.

Hot priest,have you ever considered a career in psychology? I think you’d be great at it

We are funnier AND hotter than the Catholic Church just like you are and we don’t have as many rules so much as morals UNLIKE the Catholic Church

Legit tho this man has done more to free gay Eddie in one ep than Frank has in years

Get this man in a cardigan or a button up and some glasses and I’m totally not just saying that cos he’d look hot in them

[whereserpentswalk]

We need to start depicting this lil guy doing heretical things asap!

Reblog with what acts you want to see him commit!

[traditionaldream]

Feminism is full of lies: being a "boss babe" won't fulfill most of us, birth control harms your body and no, it doesn't heal you, it just cover the problem, like a band aid, children are not a burden, but a blessing, men aren't oppressing you, you can't find total equality for things that aren't equal.

Don't belive that man aren't needed. Man work jobs that most feminist don't want to work in: building, mines, military....

It is not backwards, oppressive or misogynistic to realize that all of these things are true.

Embrace your true essence

I love how people are fighting with their whole lives trying to defend Christians

"But not all Christians..........🥺🥺"

If not all Christians, then why is Christianity the religion that caused the most deaths?

If not all Christians, then why are the people picketing outside of abortion clinics and Planned Parenthoods to "protest" abortion services are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the people who believe that Queer people are groomers and pedophiles are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the people who are telling women what they should or shouldn't do with their bodies are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the politicians who want to push laws to restrict a woman's right to her own body are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the politicians who want to push laws to criminalize being Queer by banning drag, banning gender affirming care, and banning Trans people from using the bathroom based on their gender identity are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the people pushing misinformation about the COVID pandemic and vaccines are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the politicians who refuse to do anything about the rise of school shootings and refuse to prevent them from happening again in the future are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the people who are telling disabled people that they're "possessed" and need prayer to be "healed" from their disability are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the politicians who disagree with the idea of separating religion from politics are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are a large chunk of adults who sexually abuse children are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the majority of Zionists are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the people who get upset that there are other religious holidays besides Easter and Christmas are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the people who stole Pagan traditions and appropriate them are Christians?

If not all Christians, besides Antitheists, then why are the people who shit on other religions and try to convince others that there is one "true" religion are Christians?

If not all Christians, then why are the people who are blaming Jewish people for the murder of Jesus Christ (who was a Palestinian Jewish man who was killed by Roman Christians) are Christians?

I can go on and on with this, but I'm just gonna stop here. There are way too many instances where Christians have done shitty things to make me not believe that "not all Christians" bullshit. And the whole "not all Christians" shit has the same vibes as saying "not all men".

I also want to point out that I grew up Catholic up until sometime during middle school when I began to question my religion and became an Atheist. During that time, when I was still identifying as an Atheist, I learned about the atrocities that have been done by Christians from centuries ago up until modern times. That revalation made me realize how satisfied and relieved I was with my decision to leave the church and to no longer associate myself with Catholism.

I want to add to this that I don't give a fuck if there are Christians that aren't bigots. Those people are on thin ice, and they need to be held accountable the same way as bigoted Christians due to the fact that there are more instances of hateful Christians than good ones. If you say that you don't "claim" the bigots within your religion, then you have to prove yourself by continuously holding Christians accountable for their treatment of marginalized people.

[the-muppet-joker]

As a Catholic, I am deeply upset by my Good Omens. The portrayal of heaven and God fills me with a fear that there may be flaws within the religion I was raised with, which is WRONG AND IMPOSSIBLE. The only solution is to Cancel Good Omens.

[ex-catholic-in-new-england]

I don’t understand LGBT people who willingly identify as Christian. What’s the point of following a religion that’s actively trying to eradicate LGBT rights and healthcare? What’s the point of following a religion that calls you a “sinner” or “sodomite” because you’re attracted to the same sex? What’s the point of following a religion that calls trans people “abominations” because “God doesn’t make mistakes” (regarding biological sex). It sounds like an exhausting uphill battle to me.

[trying-to-be-catholic]

Question for Catholics: Abortion/Pro-choice vs Pro-life Edition.

Why is abortion and Pro-choice considered murder?

Why should a child conceived through coercion or rape be forced to be born?

Why should a child with a severe disability be forced to be born?

Why should a child who has little prospects in financial and emotional support be forced to be born?

Why should a child who will not be loved and conceived through a mistake, be forced to be born?

Why should a woman who has been coerced/raped, be forced to give birth?

Why should a woman who cannot financially or emotionally take care of herself be forced to give birth?

Why should a woman with a disability be forced to give birth?

Why should a woman who made a mistake on impulse be forced to give birth?

order 66 was NOT a genocide. you can only genocide people & cultures, you can’t genocide a systemically deified super-religion that wants everyone in existence to either agree with them & exist their way or burn in hell for eternity. any decent ppl who went down with the purge forfeit their lives down the drain along with their family, home & very sense of self. they. had. it. fucking. coming.

from an indigenous person, fuck y’all for even comparing order 66 to genocide & talking all over survivors of real genocides to save face for your evangelical faith & the people you think are good guys. you are not about to disrespect the continent-sized OCEANS of blood that make up our ancestors & loved ones who were lost to real genocide. fuck off.
