#but now i’m atheist

[whumpy-wyrms]

is Anton into Christmas? Does he celebrate anything else in the winter? If Anton does celebrate Christmas then when does he put his tree up?

oooh okay so Anton and Pierce were never religious so they didn’t celebrate christmas or anything else. BUT… now that you made me think about it i love the idea of Anton and Dew like setting up and decorating a christmas tree together and baking (and probably absolutely butchering) little holiday cookies and treats (Anton would make little mice cookies) that sounds soooo cutee omg… they probably will do little stuff like that for the holidays but i’m not sure about the tree hmmmm… that sounds so fun for them honestly though. like i’m pretty sure Dew used to celebrate christmas so maybe Anton gets a tree for them to decorate to make Dew feel more at home (LOL) cuz he’d definitely do that (i assume he’d get the tree probably at the beginning of december). and presents!!! and since Anton literally knows nothing about christmas he’d make the most random stuff up as he goes along trying to make it seem like he knows what he’s doing. but he doesn’t. but he’s trying!!! he’s so silly your honor

so yeah something like that :3 thanks for sending this ask because now i know what Dew and Anton are gonna get up to during the winter holidays!!!

One really awesome thing about being a Jew is how widely accepted it is in our people that we all have very complicated and personal feelings about the idea of a god, or any sort of religious concept at all. I love being able to explore my own beliefs as a person who doesn’t believe in a higher power, and I fucking love seeing those beliefs represented in so many Jews, in so many theological Jewish sects and schools of thoughts, in so many centuries of Jewish history. Judaism is all about those in-betweens, it’s all about complex ideas and shades of greys and personal understandings of life

Above all else, there’s always a search in Judaism for meaning, for purpose, for the human experience. And wether that manifest itself into ideas of a tangible higher power, or some vague feeling of something making existence meaningful (like for me!) or anything in between or outside of that— it’s all accepted, it’s all genuine and okay and valid interpretations of Jewish beliefs. And it’s also accepted to not believe in any sort of spirituality or religion, or to not know, or to not care! We’re all just Jews and we’re all just walking through the world together! I just love it so much, words escape me when I think about it

Thinkin about how I’ve seen a lot of super interesting interpretations of Henry being religious or at least believing in God (makes sense— he was raised in Utah after all, lmao). I really dig this, maybe it’s because I was raised in a regions environment and hashtag religious trauma!!! But also- do we think if he did believe in God, he stopped doing so after Charlie’s death, the children that went missing at HIS restaurant, aaaaaaaaand finally figuring out that his best friend that he once trusted and cared for uh. Was responsible for ruining his life and taking so many others??

Basically in my head he went from 🙏 to

I just did some really helpful guided meditation.

A few years ago I had a dream that I met God. I can’t remember all of the details of the dream. I remember everything being bright and warm but also soft. I couldn’t see her face but I know she was female. She asked me if I wanted to hold the universe in my hands. She asked me in a way that was very excited — it reminded me of an excited kid running to show you a frog it found (I remember thinking that was significant. Not something she made. Something she found).

I said yes and she placed the universe in my hands and the galaxies tickled my palms as they swirled. I woke up nearly on the verge of tears with an overwhelming sense of peace and warmth.

That meditation I did just now. Thinking about some of the experiences I’ve had. Dreams. Feelings. I.

I think my god is the Sun.

Fun fact!

I don’t know what ‘outspoken atheist’ needs to hear this but coming onto a post quoting an eminent Jewish philosopher pointing out how worldly habit and doctrines can sterilize a genuine faith with your, “good thing I haven’t believed in fictional deities in years” schtick is not, in fact, very flattering to your ideology.

You know I love Crowley with all my heart, and I am just like him and relate to him.

But he is the reason that some of us get periods now so fuck him. He’s a terrible feminist.

Something something if I’m expected to respect other people’s religions than my lack of belief should also be respected

i’m abt to be a theist on main

[justtogetthrough]

Today at work someone asked how easy it is to register at a Catholic school if you’re not baptized and someone said easy and ????

I piped in to be like idk the Catholic school I went to for a few months reallyyyyy didn’t want to enrol me when I told them I was Jewish and not Catholic but the public school across the street had literal gangs and my group home was right there so staff were able to advocate for me being at risk and needing a safer environment than the public one could offer. The school DID admit me but it wasn’t easy. I showed up on the first day of school already in uniform, had to beg, and cried. I had to wait with my staff person in the hall while they consulted amongst themselves on the legality of whether or not they would offer me an education.

While I was speaking today it dawned on me that it might not have just been the not-baptized thing. As the word “Jew” came out of my mouth I was like ………oh. Maybe it was also partly that.

This time last year I was like “I’ve been reading fanfiction for over a decade, and I wrote semi-professionally for a few years, maybe I should try to write my own fic”

And now I have an ongoing fic, a side-series for that fic, and several one-shots under my belt.

And I wrote the majority of it while spending months in bed, trying to recover from literal brain damage due to a head injury and medical malpractice, immediately followed by long-covid

Even if I’m not gaining anything by doing this, and even if the rest of my life is in absolute shambles, I’m still really proud of it :’D
