On Religious Trauma

I grew up in a high control religion, and on a fundamental level, I can see myself in both Crowley and Aziraphale, ESPECIALLY at the end of season two. Let me explain. (TW for religious abuse)

Within the church I grew up in, there was a very strong expectation that you build your identity exclusively within your religion; that you see Christ as the only source of good in yourself. It's one of the things that made coming to terms with my queerness and transness so intensely complicated. I had built my entire self image on being a good perfect Christian. Even after being forced from the closet at 16, I clung desperately to that identity because it was all I'd had my entire childhood. Even in the face of direct abuse pulled straight from that belief, I still couldn't let go of the only 'good' I'd ever seen in myself. I thought I could change my dad's mind if I could just prove that I was a good Christian and prove that the Bible didn't justify his hate. He didn't listen.

It took another year and a half for me to separate myself completely from Christianity. I'd been questioning my faith since 14 and it was an enormous source of guilt and shame, so letting go of that was a long healing process. The people I grew up with now go to religious unis and volunteer at the summer camps we went to as kids. It's surreal every time it comes up on my insta, and I feel like I'm the one who escaped, who saw through the sham to what was really going on. More than that, I know in my heart that my family (father aside) are also victims in their own right. I grew up watching my mother struggle, and I watch my younger sisters grow up wrestling with these same ideas. Perhaps even more strongly, having watched my fall from grace. But I can't DO anything, because I can see the fear in my mom's eyes when I reminder her why I'm not comfortable going to church with her; she was raised, just as I was, in desperate fear of seeing the damnation of those you love. She's terrified of being responsible for my eternal torture in hell. So we don't talk about it at all, because it hurts both of us.

I remember the overwhelming pressure to evangelize and convert, even as a literal child, because it was our responsibility to save them from hell. Aziraphale isn't CHOOSING angel Crowley over the one in front of him. He still hopes he can save the one person he loves more than anything in the universe. I've been there. It fucking hurts. But now I'm here, and that hurts too. Because I can see the people I love looking at me the same way and I have to say no.

Aziraphale never had a choice. Even in the face of cruelty, he sees heaven as the good in himself. It's the only identity he has. And he's scared out of his mind.

There's No Hate Like Christian Love: Exposing the Hypocrisy and Bigotry Behind Religious Dogma

Why I Refuse to Watch The Chosen and What It Reveals About Christian Hypocrisy

I refuse to watch The Chosen, a show tainted by Mormon influences, and I find the anticipation of it by several Baptists I know deeply troubling. When I hear about this series, I’m reminded of the repellent concept of “the elect” as twisted by Reformation, Calvinist, and Presbyterian traditions. Predestination in these doctrines is a grotesque, isolationist, and heretical interpretation of selective scripture. It renders much of creation meaningless, all to defend the fearful cultures it infects. Let’s be real—there’s no hate like Christian love when it’s wielded to justify exclusion and marginalization.

The Brutal Reality of Christian Bigotry

I am neurodivergent, a fact that has made me endlessly curious and painfully aware of the injustices faced by those like me. The traits that define me—deep yet detached emotions, intense focus, and an unyielding sense of justice—have isolated me from those who cannot comprehend a life spent in constant pursuit of truth. This isolation is not just a personal struggle but a reflection of a wider, systemic issue within Christianity. It’s not just me—it's the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, and anyone who doesn’t conform to their narrow ideals who are cast aside. They cherry-pick verses to justify their hate, dismissing the very essence of Christ's teachings.

The Sin of Cherry-Picking Scripture for Hate

The very essence of Christian love is betrayed when used to marginalize and condemn. Pastor Rick Morrow of Beulah Church in Richland, MO, embodies this hypocrisy with his vile claim that neurodivergent individuals are either demonically afflicted or simply not favored by God. “Either the devil has attacked them, he's brought this infirmity upon them, he's got them where he wants them, and/or God just doesn't like them very much,” Morrow says. This is nothing short of spiritual malpractice, and it makes me question the salvation of those who spew such hatred. Where are the fruits of the Spirit in this? There’s no evidence of grace, love, or goodness in such zealotry.

The Dangerous Pretense of Purity

I am outraged by the far-right "Christian" pundits calling for the elimination of autism, using it as a sick excuse for purification. Such ideologies not only marginalize but endanger the lives of countless individuals. The zealots who hold these beliefs are convinced that God requires them to purify humanity through exclusion and purging. This is a clear perversion of true Christian doctrine and a direct violation of the command to love one another.

Jesus’ True Message Versus Christian Hypocrisy

A search for historical context reveals that even Jesus’ disciples could have had traits that would now be labeled neurodivergent. Thomas’ skepticism and Peter’s intense loyalty suggest that even the earliest followers faced misconceptions and judgment. The portrayal of Matthew as autistic in The Chosen is a step in the right direction but also a stark reminder of how poorly “weirdos” are treated within church walls. I would have fought for my place and for others like me, and I’m disheartened to see such prejudices persist.

A Call to Genuine Christian Conduct

It’s high time Christians remember their true calling—to correct and rebuke one another in love and follow Jesus’ greatest commandment to love your neighbor as yourself. If you cannot exhibit the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—then you are failing at the very core of your faith. The current state of Christianity is deeply troubling. We have strayed so far from the teachings of Christ that it’s become almost unrecognizable.

We must urgently address this crisis within the faith, or we risk losing the essence of what it means to truly follow Jesus. My heart aches for a faith that once stood for unconditional love but is now plagued by hypocrisy and exclusion. We need a return to grace and a recommitment to genuine Christian values before it’s too late.

In Faith, With Christ

The Supreme Court has sided with Lorie Smith who argued that as a she has a constitutional right to turn away lgbt customers because it goes against her faith. The Supreme Court 6-3 sided with her. Fuck the Supreme Court 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

[queeresthellhound]

An example of an awesome thing I experienced as a fundamentalist: I felt an unbelievably strong urge to be a pastor for many years and I was told many times that I couldn’t be because I was a “woman” (I’m an intersex trans man) and god doesn’t permit any woman to be in a place of authority above a man but that I should aspire to be a pastor’s wife instead, or maybe I could join a convent and be a nun!

HA I LOVE WHEN UP TIGHT ASSHOLE CHRISTIANS GET KARMA

Mad this. It literally says he got jailed for ignoring a court order telling him to stay away from the school - yet the headline says it's for not calling a kid they. He broke the court order cos he was being a self righteous stalkery Christian weirdo. I know the sort, they did the same to us at school cos we were scruffy poor unfortunates / desperate people that apparently needed god to save us. Loads of Christians are like this, proper weirdos.

[letmebefuggingme]

Losing people over them not believing in basic human rights is ridiculous.

They think they hurt, no. People like me do, because we have to live knowing those around them will never understand their privileges and what it means to not have freedom.

The Gospel of Love: Chapter 1

1 In those days, there was great division among the people, for many claimed to follow the teachings of Jesus, yet their hearts were filled with anger and judgment.

2 And Jesus, seeing the discord, called his disciples to him and said, "Let us go to the towns and villages, for the people need to hear the true message of love."

3 As they journeyed, they came upon a group of men holding signs and shouting loudly against those who were different from them. They proclaimed, "We stand for righteousness, and all who do not follow our ways are condemned!"

4 Jesus approached the men and said, "Why do you shout and condemn? Have you forgotten the greatest commandment, to love one another as I have loved you?"

5 One of the men replied, "But Lord, these people are sinners! They support those who choose abortion, they stand with the LGBTQIA+ community, and they cry out that Black Lives Matter."

6 Jesus looked at the man with compassion and said, "Who among you is without sin? Let him cast the first stone. Remember, it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have come to call not the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

7 And he turned to the crowd and said, "Love your neighbor as yourself, and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is the essence of the law and the prophets."

8 The crowd was silent, for they were struck by his words. Some began to weep, realizing their own hypocrisy.

9 Jesus then went to the house of a woman who had been ostracized by the community. She was a hijabi Muslim who had faced discrimination and judgment from those around her.

10 He sat with her, ate with her, and listened to her story. The people were astonished and murmured among themselves, "Why does he eat with sinners and those we condemn?"

11 Jesus heard their murmuring and said, "The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

12 And he spoke to the woman, saying, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

13 As Jesus and his disciples continued their journey, they encountered many who were outcast, despised, and judged. Among them were members of the LGBTQIA+ community, who had been marginalized and condemned by society.

14 Jesus welcomed them, saying, "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. You are loved by God, just as you are."

15 He also encountered those who marched and cried out that Black Lives Matter, seeking justice and equality for all. Jesus stood with them, saying, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled."

16 In every town and village, Jesus taught the people to love one another, to forgive as they have been forgiven, and to show kindness and mercy to all, regardless of their differences.

17 And many hearts were changed, for they saw in Jesus the true reflection of God's love—pure, unconditional, and everlasting.

18 Thus, the message of Jesus spread throughout the land, not through condemnation, but through the transformative power of love. And the people began to understand that to follow Jesus was to love as he loved, without hypocrisy or judgment.
