If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send this to the last 7 people in your notifs! Let’s get to know each other better! (Anon or not, it doesn’t matter)

ASDFGHJ I FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS HI NATE I LOVE YOU now lets see i have got to be the most boring person alive

I have two identical scars next to eachother at my hairline because i swan dove into a bath tub as a toddler (there was a reason but i dont remember it) and bashed my head open on the faucet part. and it was winter and when we were walking outta the ER after the stitches I slipped on ice and bashed my head on someones car bumper and had to go back in for more stitches lol

In true nonbinary fashion, when I was still waffling over gender and identity stuff, I considered going by the name Sheep, then Shep, then axed that whole idea and went with Ned which people had already been calling me for years due to my user name. Speaking of, I legally have three names depending on what paperwork you look at. I snuck Elias into the first name section last minute when I was petitioning my name change so I officially have two first names, Edward Elias. Then when I converted to Judaism they had me pick a Hebrew name and after much discussion with the Rabbi we chose Yitzhak, so thats my official name on that paper work. I've also lowkey been playing with the name Francis recently. Neds never going away but I love names lmao

Okay originally 2 was two seperate answers but i ended up rambling about all the same stuff so heres one thats separate from name shit. When i was in likeeeee 5th/6th grade, and very much Lying About My Age on the internet (as you did back then), I got promoted to moderator of Webkinz Insider somehow. It was the most surreal experience of my life I had no idea what the fuck I was doing I'd just like. Write some articles. Edit a little maybe. And then the pressure got too much (and I was sorta growing out of webkinz a bit anyway) so i just logged off and never touched it again the end asdf (i actually looked it up to see if I could find any of my old work but it looks like the site shut down in 2021 and i cant be assed to check the wayback machine for my shitty writing asdfvg)

Okay thats it for Ned trivia love you <333

A recent post and a heated response has caused me to think more about the issue of catholic and jewish interactions. i couldn't understand how or why somebody could compare genocide and evangelization, since the difference seems so clear to me. But a friend helped me understand there's emotional and cultural context that autism makes it difficult to see. Here's what they said about it:

i think the situation between jews and christianity is a bit more complicated than that. it seems to me that the person in that post is carrying some hurt about the antisemitism in the church, which is pretty valid. we can't just say "that's not what the catholic church teaches" when there is in fact a long history of people claiming to be christian but acting terribly towards jewish people. its important to recognize this isn't necessarily an academic conversation but an emotional one

it wasn't that long ago that a commonly held belief was that jews were all collectively responsible for Jesus's death, and should all be blamed for it. the Catholic church has repudiated this, but even that was fairly recent. and a lot of this reflection happened after the holocaust. for reference: https://www.vatican.va/jubilee_2000/magazine/documents/ju_mag_01111997_p-31_en.html and there's a bunch of christian churches who actually STILL have not disclaimed this idea i've heard catholics talk about how all the jews need to be converted before the second coming. and like that is not at ALL taught in theology, but it is a cultural thing. and its important to recognize that people saying these things, even when its ignorant of and flies in the face of church teaching, will still affect how people view the church in a massive way the religious aspect is part of it. but it's also this huge cultural thing and ethnicity thing that has gone on for quite some time. and is still worryingly sticking around in some internet communities. most conspiracy theories are drawing from antisemitism talking points, about evil people being in charge of the global banking system and secretly scheming to kidnap children and use their blood for dark magic. which sounds ridiculous, but hey, qanon is a thing! which is Very Bad i guess i'm saying that i don't think this person is really talking about the theology of the church at all they're feeling attacked and attributing that to the broader culture of discrimination, which like it or not is culturally christian in a lot of places. think of how we get holidays for christmas but it's difficult for jews to get yom kippur off. thats culturally christian, and for people who've been hurt by antisemitism it's going to sting like that's an intentional slight, whether or not it is

i think a lot of the resistance comes mainly from the idea that the jews are going to be "erased." which was a fear back in Jesus's time! because the jews have been historically oppressed a lot! to some, it probably feels like betraying their family by choosing a new religion or choosing a new culture, because of the number of jewish people who were martyred. i don't think its accurate to say the christian goal is "no more jews". judaism has been fulfilled through the coming of Jesus the Messiah. and there are a lot of jewish traditions that can give catholic traditions lots of meaning, like the canopy over the altar (which is from jewish wedding traditions). but i can see why people would feel that way, especially if they've interacted with people who've told them being ethnically jewish is something they need to atone for, and they must abandon their culture and traditions and language to become redeemed.

i think it's usually a matter of broken trust, and feeling like this "good news" is actually just an attack in disguise. a way to silence them. and thats not an issue with the theology, its an issue with christians. and we need to do better to reach out to those who've been hurt.

[strawberihart]

K you dont have to respond anymore just keep Islam and Muslims out of your mouth. And no self-defense doesn't count as violence. If someone wanted to kill you and you defended yourself than the media framed you as a barbarian you'd be pissed off right?

1. Not just any stealing, like if an orphan steals for example they are not punished, it depends on what the person stole and of what value it was. The Qu'ran actually tells us to cut them off of support and put petty thiefs in prison. Other punishments apply to much serious crimes. Most people consider the bible inhumane and immoral too, whats your point?

2. So what about it? The bible mentions how different nations treated different prophets sent to them (I.e with contempt), how are we supposed to trust that? If Islam were a religion of violence and Muhammad s.a.w was a warlord than he and his followers didn't have to make up a reason to fight the pagans they could've just said "oh they are the enemies of God anyway". SubhanAllah I'm actually creasing at how far some of you Christians reach with your arguments, how on earth was the battle of Badr started by the Muslims? Can you elaborate on that?

3. Once again, war is allowed in Islam but you cant just declare war whenever you feel like it, it has to be for a reason. The bible has it too, for fricks sake stop critiquing Islam on what your God allowed too. Yeah they were punished for waging war not for refusing to convert. If they did succeed in that, you can only imagine what they'd do to the Muslims.

4. Relax bud not every Muslim wants to pin shoot you with a bullet made of banana leaves and staple bombs to your ear. There are good and bad Muslims. Good and bad Christians. There are good and bad ppl in every religious group so stop singling us out. At this point you dont even attack the Quran or Islam you are attacking what Muslims are doing. Many Muslims oppose todays leaders and btw just bc you're considered an "Islamic leader" doesn't automatically qualify you in the deen.

Please look to early Islamic scholars and show me the fatwas they issued on apostasy and compare them to these misguided "Mullahs". You mention suicide bombings but you can hardly bring up a verse that MENTIONS them. You can't refute Islam. You can't prove Islam is an inherently violent religion. You are only proving your ignorance on the matter, I don't give a damn about what Muslims say I'm asking you to bring me a verse from the Qu'ran, a text from the hadith and a TAFSIR. Also I can pull reciepts abt what yall Christians have been up to throughout history but I won't, I'm only looking at what your bible says and according to what I've examined they weren't far off. Show me where Prophet Muhammad told his followers to spread the religion by sword or where he was a merciless warlord.

7. M8t without substantial evidence you can't make a case thats why we Muslims require witnesses unlike you guys. The truth is ppl back then were ignorant and thought that if women didn't bleed on their wedding night they must have committed adultery. Also notice that the man is fined and has to pay the womans father (not her, even tho she was the one humiliated.) 50 sheckels. Its all about the fathers honor and not her.

The bible does in fact shame women and has been the main source of their oppression as far as I can recall up until the feminist movement took place and more liberal Christians kept popping up to say "the bible is actually very empowering for women xx."

I can tell YOU don't read your bible bc wdym it doesnt allow sex slavery. Are we talking about the same book?

Deuteronomy 21:11-14

New International Version

11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails 13 and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. 14 If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.

Notice how it says he dishonored her? Looks like this verse suggests he might have in fact forced himself upon her. Also pls can we put aside the myth of 72 virgins its literally 2023 I can't believe yall are still not over that. No, there is no such thing as 72 virgins, its a mistranslation.

But anyway you dont have to discuss further if you dont want to, I've made my points clear. Have a good day.

Me: Islam is an inherently violent religion and terrorist acts are condoned by the Quran. 

Someone: Yeah well there is violence in the BIBLE!!! Christianity is JUST as violent as Islam!! Remember the crusades????

[blessedarethebinarybreakers]

Coming for advice- I think I'm just, done with Christianity. I was raised Baptist, my parents are involved with our church/private christian school which i attended. The issue is that they're very deep in it, and I know it will break their hearts if I tell them so. I'm trans, and out/on testosterone, so I already have broken their hearts once, and I'm worried my dad especially will think thats the main reason why (he's not particularly wrong). I've tried to gain my faith back, tried to find a comfortable space, but the past few years have shown that there really isn't anything worthwhile for me in American Christianity. There's too much hurt, too much broken, and I can't separate what "good" there might be in the Bible from the evil I see in the church and America's Christian Nationalist culture. I've been looking at other religions, because I do have a desire for the spiritual, and have been specifically looking at Judaism in part to unlearn the antisemitism that I grew up with, and because I do find genuine beauty in what I have found there. I haven't made plans to convert, but it's something I consider a potential. All this to ask; how do I talk to my parents about this? They ask if I've been doing anything for my faith lately (reading the bible, watching an online service), and want to know why I haven't. I don't know what to tell them.

CW: non-accepting parents

Hey there, anon. My heart goes out to you to hear what hurt you've experienced from communities that should be founded in love. I'm also sorry to hear that your parents didn't take you coming out well. I pray that in time you find the healing, wholeness, and support you deserve, no matter where that is for you.

As you journey, you might like to wander through my #leaving Christianity tag or #exploring and discerning tag.

For instance, there's a post in there from someone asking advice on telling their parents about their exploration of Islam. There also a few messages from other folks exploring Judaism.

Unfortunately, you're probably right that your parents will be upset about your decision about Christianity — but however they take it, it's your decision to make. I wish I had some solid advice for you about how to tell them. Ultimately, you know your parents better than I could, so if anything I suggest doesn't sound right to you, don't go with it. But what I can think of is:

it's probably better to plan a specific time to tell them, rather than blurting it out spontaneously (such as when they're asking you all those questions about whether you've gone to church lately). .

pick a time that's relatively low-stress for everyone involved. Ask for your parents to hear you out because what you want to say means a lot to you. .

write out what you want to say beforehand, so that if you get tongue-tied in the moment (if you opt for a spoken discussion), you'll have your writing to fall back on. .

i'd probably avoid getting into a long debate about the merits and faults Christianity. For instance, i can't imagine you trying to explain to them how tangled up Christianity is in white nationalism will be all that fruitful in a discussion about your own personal experience. Instead, I'd stick to something like "I understand and respect that Christianity holds a lot of meaning for you; I hope you can respect that it does not for me", and "I feel" type statements, rather than letting them pull you into a debate. .

have an activity line up for later that day that brings you comfort, whether that's going to get your favorite food or watching a comfort show; or ask a friend to be waiting for you to visit or call them up afterward to talk through it and/or just quietly be there for you. .

depending on what exactly your parents' beliefs are, it might be somewhat comforting to them to know that even while you're leaving Christianity, you're still exploring spirituality. Especially if you do decide to delve deeper into Judaism, you may emphasize that leaving the church doesn't have to mean leaving all faith or "leaving God." .

if they seem responsive or willing, you might suggest you all read Holy Envy by Barbara Brown Taylor together: it's a book for Christians, by a Christian, about learning to respect and appreciate other religions. It addresses common fears about non-Christians going to hell, for example, if that's a fear your parents express. .

know that their initial reactions may not be their final reactions. it's possible that they'll respond first with stronger negative emotions, and need time to accept your decision. set what boundaries you need to set, and hang in there.

This situation sucks, no getting around that. Wishing you so much love and courage, anon.

If anyone else has advice or encouragement, please share.

They were on a train in a red convertible with the engine on, pretending they were driving for their first date together, first of many he hoped. He wanted to find ways to always spoil her. He watched her as she got something out of the glove compartment, a CD he quickly realized and soft music surrounded them. He smiled, he had to be dreaming this all up.

As she shuffled closer, her fingers caressing the back of his hair he couldnt stop the soft purr that pushed through his lips, he smiled at her confession, the nervousness slightly easing "I've had one amazing date in my life.." turning to face her, his smile grew "..this one with you. Dont worry Luce, this is the amazing already. So anywhere with me then? Hmm let's drive to the stars" he smirked, leaning slightly into her touch. He felt truly happy and thats when he noticed it, henwasnt on guard in any way, his muscles were relaxing around her and his eyes are searching for a potential threat. She made him feel safe.

Suddenly her touch left him, both with the fingers through the air and also her hand on his thigh. Damn that hand had been close. Watching her as she got out of the car, her flowing dress lifting with the gentle breeze she caused with the movement, she wanted to dance? He smirked as he watched her hands out for him as she began to sway to the soft music, it was when her hands touched the bonnet as she swayed he had to swallow down a moan. How did such a sweet act look so sexual in that moment?

Jumping out of the car , he took one of her hands twirling her around then pulled her into his chest as one hand rested on the middle of her lower back and the other held her hand near their hearts. His hips swayed intime with hers "you look beautiful tonight, baby, but what if I dont want to take you home " smiling softly he ducked her as he swayed her around only to pull her up, dancing closesly together in the lights of the headlights to music that he had t heard in years. "I'm dreaming arent I?" Tworling her back out, he smiled more before he twirled her back in. He could imagine lowering her down on the red bonnet of this convertible and kissing every inch of her body, licking his lips, he knew being close to her was always going to be difficult but he wanted this with her. He wanted to be with her no matter what. "You know my date is the most beautiful woman on this planet. How ever did she choose me of all people?" A small smirk creased his lips as his eyes buried into hers "thank you" he softly spoke, slowly dancing with her in his arms, he wasnt just thanking her about the train heist but she had opened up his heart, he had ling ago locked away and thought didnt exist, he was happy and free and he was madly inlove with this woman. Yes, Curtis was dreaming, he was more certain of it now more than ever.

"Dont worry, baby, I'll get you home before midnight" he nuzzled his heard against her cheek, holding her closer as they danced to the soft music. This was heaven, there was no question about it anymore.
