i feel like so much anti theism is a trauma response from being subjected to oppressive (mostly christian, since thats the pov i hear from the most) religious institutions. it reminds me of when radfems are like “men are bad so we need to kill them/wall them off from us/they serve no purpose and should be ignored/ostracized/exiled, etc.” and we all know they’re only saying that bc of trauma.

#you really gotta be able to like. put your trauma aside in these kinds of conversations- especially conversations over who deserves to be #listened to or supported or.. welcomed in society and not shamed for literally just existing as they are #because if you use your trauma to inform all of your opinions you're not gonna know what to do when theres like. *the perfect guy* who #proves your trauma informed belief wrong. like if ur traumatized by dudes and all of ur arguments are based off of ur trauma with dudes-#what do you do when a genuinely good guy comes along? do you just pretend theres something wrong with him by virtue of being a dude?#that seems incredibly unfair.#i think you'll find theres not many good or moral ways to argue for ppls ostracization.#i really just think like. ppl feel uncomfortable with ppl of the same demographic as their abusers supporting the same causes they do #like i understand you feel uncomfortable and maybe triggered by the person who says 'god is within us and moving us to revolution'#but thats. like.... not a good enough reason to act like they're not on your side or dont deserve to be.#just. avoid those ppl. stop trying to find reasons they're against you. your enemy cant be neatly fit in boxes anyways.#bc surprise surprise theres actually cishet white men who Aren't entirely toxic and (like some of yall apparently believe) irredeemable.#this is why people talk about bringing facts into these debates bc your experiences arent universal and cant be applied everywhere.#and the Fact is that you cant claim to have any humanist positions if you're arguing for why some humans shouldnt be treated equally
