#like there are still things i'm untangling and i usually consider myself pretty willing to question my own actions and motives

[gideonisms]

I always wanna bring up my philosophical problems with Christianity to my younger brothers who are still into it and just say like “don’t you think this doesn’t make any sense?” but I don’t know if they have thought of those thing yet or would ever think of them on their own so I don’t dare cause the last thing I wanna be responsible for is disillusioning them :/

This is real. Idk a lot of times I have found that it's not logic that keeps people tied to xtianity and it's not even logic that drives them away. If they become disillusioned with it, that won't be your responsibility, and if they stay with it, that will also be their choice. However, if they are routinely expressing beliefs that bother you or you disagree with, imo it's worth it to make your disagreement known. Sometimes it's something you have to do for your own peace of mind, especially if it's stuff with an imperialist or gender essentialist vibe. In my experience, it probably won't be the thing that decides them one way or the other. And it shouldn't be! People have to think about these things on their own terms
