I cannot overstate how much it is a true thing that evangelicals have specific theological beef with the idea of doing good things. Why are you doing good things when the only way to get into heaven is through faith in Jesus Christ, if you do too many good things or if you advocate too much for doing good things that sounds suspiciously like workism. Also trying to alleviate suffering is bad because suffering is purification and the only thing suffering people should have is to turn to Jesus Christ.

religious men be like “we respect women! we love that they are made by God to fulfill our sexual desires and be vessels for our children!!! we even let them speak sometimes!”

yall realize you can criticize religion without like. making fun of people for having things that are sacred and holy to them right.

I feel like it would really help Christian interfaith dialogue to acknowledge that the overwhelming majority of martyr stories from the Roman Empire were entirely made up, but that is a conversation that pretty much no one is ready to have.

the sky does not listen

the prayer is not answered

the men are in cages

the men are in cages with the lights on

bruise tender

the sun is still burning

the trees are still burning

loathe deep surrender

when god can do nothing

when god does nothing

we ask why we are left here

the reason you, a white american, believe that white americans don't have culture is the same reason fish don't believe in water

it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation

The Biblical figure Enoch is my favourite example of an incredibly minor character in canon who nonetheless gets massive amounts of fanfiction. "Oh he's immortal, he's the psychopomp, God imparted His Wisdom unto him, he met aliens, he spoke with angels, he's basically the Hebrew equivalent of Thoth or Hermes Trismegistus"

He is in. Two. Sentences.

being an ex christian is so stupid because the guilt follows u in such weird ways. screwed up at work today, guess i should be shot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this might sound stupid but I can’t help but believe that the new wave of “birth control is actually horrible for your body, you need to get off it immediately” misinformation from influencers and the ‘natural cycle tracking’ apps suddenly being advertised is a sneaky underhanded way of causing more unplanned pregnancies that people now cannot abort. now is possibly the worst time ever to turn towards ‘natural family planning’
