Nicaragua is living a Cristiada.
And, as usual, nobody is talking about it.

okay im kinda stupid but I don't think selfshipping with Judge Claude fucking Frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame, is a good idea
#did we forget about the scene where he compared romanis to ants and explained his motivation of exterminating them to phoebus or?#idk when the character is directly inspired by irl religious zealots that persecuted romani people and other ethnic groups#i would not go for it. like at all#its not even a mild part of his character. that is a VERY big part of his conflict and goals#his point as a character is to be a criticism of the catholic church and religious extremism#all of his actions in the film reflects this real ideology that effects real people#โi have bad taste <3โ....he attempted gen0cide in the film. yeah that is bad taste#(talking about the film. i heard the book includes more dark subject matter but im referring to the movie here)#worth the block. sorry it just bothered me#[just me yapping]

People declaring the Pope should excommunicate Joe Biden for genocide has me like??? Bro...what do you think the Catholic Church was built on...
#Pope Francis did call for a ceasefire and actually used the word ''cease'' even if he used waffly both-sides language#he's also been pretty progressive about recognizing and apologizing for the church's role#in the Canadian First Nation's and Rwandan genocides#but that's still bare minimum#and there was that whole deal with the Catholic Church helping save Jews in the Holocaust#but trying to help the people you helped victimize in the first place shouldn't be counted IMO#certainly doesn't erase centuries of Jewish persecution#xtianty#colonialism#Spanish colonialism#Portuguese colonialism#genocide#genocide Joe#free palestine#knee of huss

not me typing a whole rant about some catholics being insufferably smug about their "better looking churches" while ignoring the history behind the barebone austerity of protestant churches and then deleting it all because my seething anger isn't christ-like either
*gnaws on wood* God help me love your children even when they are absolute prigs
#christianity#catholicism#CAVES!! PROTESTANTS USED TO HAVE TO WORSHIP IN ACTUAL CAVES!!#THEY INVENTED PORTABLE PREACHING CHAIRS THAT COULD BE DISGUISED AS *BARRELS*#BECAUSE THEY WOULD GET KILLED OR SENT TO THE GALLEYS OR LOCKED UP IN JAIL OR SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES IF CAUGHT WORSHIPING#YOUR CHURCHES HAVE ALTARS TO MARY'S GREAT AUNT AND JOSEPH'S SECOND COUSIN'S TWICE REMOVED BE SERIOUS#EUROPEAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRALS WERE BUILT WITH TAX MONEY AND COMMISSIONED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE STATES#PROTESTANTS CHURCHES HAD TO BLEND IN OR BE DESTROYED#and sure some places don't have that historical context#protestants weren't persecuted in the US and the catholic church wasn't state-sponsored there#but obviously that bagage informed their architectural choices for centuries afterwards DUH#are you being dense#and do you truly genuinely believe the God who came to earth to tear the temple's veil and preach on beaches and mountains *cares*#He told his own people *repeatedly* that no house they could ever build was worthy of His glory please be humble#He *deigned* habit the tabernacle and then the two temples as a demonstration of his grace and love not because the buildings merited it#and then He explicitly made *us* his temples and He promised to be with us wherever we worship Him please be humble#God doesn't care about stained glass windows He made the entire sky so we could always see his glory <3

A famous Christian priest has recently been stabbed while preaching. Mar Mari.
He has asked for prayers not only for his health but also for the person who stabbed him.
This hurts.
Christianity persecution is getting worse.
Thousands of Christians have been killed, and almost 10k churches were attacked last year. (From what ive heard)
But we still dont lose faith. Pray for those who hurt you, leave the revenge for God.
โThe only thing evil hates is forgiveness.โ

"The inhabitants of Kaymakli expanded their living spaces vertically, creating a multi-layered community that could be sealed off with large rolling stone doors, ensuring protection from invaders. During times of religious strife, Kaymakli served as an important refuge for Christian communities, protecting their faith and way of life."

by the way i kinda want to talk about the whole "christians arent oppressed" and "oooh christians wanna be oppressed so bad" stuff because i do feel strongly about it because of how much history it ignores lmfao ...because, yes. but actually no. Long ago, the Romans... actually did not like Christianity! Oh no. They despised them, especially Nero, who hated them so much he called for their execution. Eventually though Rome decided "actually yeah Christianity is cool". And that's not all!
Christians, especially Jehovah's Witnesses, weren't safe during WW2 neither! Oh no. Jehovah's Witnesses, while not persecuted as badly as Jewish folks, were still targeted and faced discrimination by the Nazis. And many were also unlucky enough to end up in concentration camps as well. Not to mention the fact that Christians are currently being targeted in other countries, such as North Korea. Oh yeah! Don't think America's getting out of this one neither! Black Christians especially aren't safe. In 2015, a black church in Charleston, South Carolina (particularly Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal) was shot up, killing 9 African Americans, including state senator Clementa C. Pinckney. And going further back in 1963, 15th Street Baptist Church, the first black church in Birmingham, Alabama, was bombed by members of the KKK, with four children, the youngest being 11, killed as a result.
So yes, Christians *have* been oppressed before. ...Just not in the way evangelicals want you to believe.
#christianity#religion#christian persecution#religious persecution#persecution#christians#progressive christianity#catholic#catholicism#protestant#jehovah witness#btw ik jehovah's witnesses arent really considered 'christian'#but they're still technically a christian denomination so they're still worth a mention#anyways#i know christians arent really as oppressed as much as jews and muslims#but to say they don't face discrimination at all is... just not correct at all#like you do not have to like christianity (or religion in general)#but please just learn some history#and actually take the time to do research#(

i'm so glad i won't be working with my pi after this month. i think i've reached my limit. i just can't deal with her anymore
#she said 'oh idk if i can make it to your thesis'#SHE IS ON MY THESIS COMMITTEE. SHE'S KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR A YEARRRRRR#she said she might be on vacation w her bf... instead of going to my fucking thesis defense.#there was a special vote just so she could be on my committee. wdym you have to go on vacation#ALSO i've been asking her to check my calculations for a thing for MONTHS#and she still hasn't. but she made me present on it in front of a bunch of people.#i'd like to note that this calculation is like. the point of my thesis. and she hasn't even bothered to look at it#she forced the interns to work 50 hours last week. they're only being paid for 40.#she hasn't read any part of my thesis... others have but they don't know the details like she does#i told her to read my fucking thesis and she said she had and that it 'looked good'#what does that mean. WHAT does that mean. how do you have no comments. on my thesis. that determines whether i graduate#and then she said i'm ''irresponsible'' bc i went to a concert???#like it didn't affect anything. i showed up to work on time. i completed everything i meant to.#but i guess going to one concert is like. unacceptable.#i'm sooooo sorry i decided to go have fun for one night instead of agonizing about my thesis (that again. she hasn't read)#she asked if i want to give a talk at the new place she got hired at but she now works for fus#which is a incredibly conservative homophobic private catholic university. i've never heard anything positive about it#like they're legally allowed to discriminate against lgbt people... does she know what i fucking look like????#she's so so conservative but she only interacts with other conservative catholics#and doesn't understand how fucking vile her views are. and she wonders why people don't like her#like maybe she should shut the fuck up about how she thinks abortion is a sin at work!!#she once said 'the only time i feel uncomfortable in my skin is when i talk about being a conservative catholic at work'#AND THEN SHE SAID 'it really makes me understand how hijabis feel'#IN FRONT OF MY HIJABI COLLEAGUE. HELLO???? like she is not persecuted for being a conservative catholic#i literally started laughing when she said that. i think i said 'please get real'. and she's still mad#anyway. my colleague decided to no longer work with my pi. idk if it was bc of that comment#she mentioned that once i leave there won't be anyone who understands the data on the project anymore#like yeah. maybe you should've looked at the data. like at all#and not had an unpaid master's student do literally all the work for you
