How feminism and women's suffrage undermine and attack biblical manhood

Feminism and women’s suffrage were and are a direct assault on biblical manhood. They evolved hand-in-glove. They are part and parcel of one another and one cannot exist without another. Of course, most of us realize this but not everyone realizes the immense damage caused by them or that they were a direct assault on manhood and a man’s God-given command to lead and provide for his own family.…

the way this website balks at the term "culturally christian" is so funny to me like. oh shit you mean the religion our government and culture is structured around might impact you even if you're atheist and ESPECIALLY if you're ex-christian? noooo it's the people using it to describe a phenomenon of western culture that are wrong

Having had a theology subject every term but this one is genuinely so funny, especially now that all the art homework has been drastically upped in quantity. Like yeah, you do have to draw 2000 drawings by mid June. Why are you praying? God has forsaken you.

Will not lie I do not care for the way the Christian community often talks about how much better it was in the past! Why don't y'all catch scarlet fever without antibiotics and then we talk!!!

Your mother saying "I guess you would know" was the Relief Society Polite way of telling you to STFU.

Listen, I've been there. I literally walked the streets of Salt Lake City with my girlfriend and thought "are we gonna get hatecrimed if we hold hands?"

But here's a protip from Mormonland: even a fervently homophobic Mormon will never say a word to your face about it. Not to a stranger anyway. Not in person.

You don't understand how deeply Being Nice is ingrained in our culture. Every Mormon who's served a mission has been trained to take any and all discomfort and abuse with a smile. They know about catching flies with honey, and you don't get converts by stirring up "the spirit of contention."

So you can be very openly gay around a homophobic Mormon, and they will smile. They will Be Nice.

Will they complain about you to another homophobe later? Will they vote to take your rights away? Will they write vile things on the internet? Will they do it all under the guise of "I love gay people! Really! I just have some Disagreements?" Probably. And it's shitty.

But you can use Being Nice. The homophobic Mormon will be an accomplice to many a Gay Thing if the alternative is no longer Being Nice. And maybe, somewhere under all the Evil Cult Brainwashing (🙄) the homophobic Mormon will start to rethink their homophobia.

Or you can just make them extremely uncomfortable as you trap them by societal convention. That's fun too.

The geometry of the nave is not just a matter of numbers and measurements; it is a form of knowledge that is acquired through bodily experience.

The modern world uses math to create addictive social media algorithms. The old world used math to create works of timeless beauty.

Throwback to when Hozier said "There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin. In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene, Only then I am human, Only then I am clean". I need to go lie down for a minute.

I really don’t think The Owl House works as well if you treat human realm witch hunting as a fantasy adventure. Like within the world of the story I think it would have been “oh huh the human understanding of ‘witches’ mutated into this weird fucked up mythology they’re murdering people over, that sucks” and not that there was actually substantial witch presence on Earth in Evelyn and the Wittebanes’ time. IRL witch hunters didn’t think they were looking for pointy eared people born on a magical island in the middle of a boiling sea and TOH fictional historical witch hunters were the same. They were murdering innocent people as part of systemic persecution of women or religious/ethnic minorities, or for personal gain, or out of normalized violent enforcement of social norms, or whatever reasons out of many possible reasons, and the justification was just fake shit. I just really don’t think the TOH narrative works as well if you can at all claim that Philip actually always fighting magical spell-casting witches and wasn’t just being a hateful monster towards innocent people in his own community everywhere he lived for his entire life.
