As an #exchristian it can be hard to express personal #anger. The key is in recognizing that anger typically indicates a violation of #boundaries. #religions have a vested interest in adherents remaining #obedient & #subservient , demanding they offer #forgiveness. This provides the perfect atmosphere for #narcissistic #predators to take control. #Christianity breeds #codependency. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO FEEL & EXPRESS ANGER. It is also a legitimate part of grief. #atheist #psychology #healing #RTS

TBT: 1976. My Pentecostal father was convinced that Jesus told him to move our family from BC to NY, so he could become a preacher/evangelist. I am the one dressed in red and leaning on the George Washington fire hydrant, in honour of the American bicentennial. #ReligiousTrauma #fundamentalism #narcissisticparent #childhood #TBThursday #1970s #kelowna #BC

This is why religious delusions, especially, must be called out & challenged. When adults start believing they receive messages & instructions from nonhuman (“supernatural”) entities, they feel entitled to violence. #christianity #supernatural #entitlement #nonsense #prophets #prophecies #mentalillness #delusions #magicalthinking https://abcnews.go.com/US/lori-vallow-booked-murder-charge-arizona/story?id=105277594

I am sorry to you,
I am sorry to you.
For all the religious trauma,
I AM SORRY to you!

Reality is a bitter pill when you’ve been fed a steady diet of religious fantasy. While life always was random, I felt safer when I could explain it as “God’s will” or “Satan’s handiwork.” I felt extremely exposed & vulnerable without my Cosmic Big Brother watching over me. Step by step, I learned to own my life. Divorcing religion is painful - but it’s also liberating. I love my life ♥️ #independence #criticalthinking #identity #reality #science #equality #reason #SecularHumanism #atheist #joy

I will not praise Xtians for simply acting like decent humans. Religion is not required; #humanism is. If I were a union member, I would be annoyed at the union leader for preaching at me from his magic book. #secularhumanism #atheist “Social Gospel movement is changing our politics and reshaping our perspectives” | CNN https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/13/us/social-gospel-movement-uaw-strike-blake-cec/index.html

Because Christians are taught to expect #persecution (and essentially wear it as a badge of honor), they see it everywhere - even where it’s not. #fundamentalism #radicalism #extremism #exchristian #criticalthinking #nullifidian #SecularHumanism
Mike Johnson embodies evangelicals' embattlement strategy. It may be backfiring. https://religionnews.com/2023/11/06/mike-johnsons-embodies-evangelicals-embattlement-strategy-it-may-be-backfiring/ -
In the late 80s, my now-retired #ornithologist husband spent time bird-watching with #margaretatwood (whom he called Peggy) and her husband, Graeme. Occasionally, he even stayed with them in their #toronto home. Fast forward to today: I am mailing a hand-written note to this literary giant, thanking her for speaking out against the #fundamentalism that defined my first 40 years - and asking her to be a guest on my Divorcing Religion #podcast . Wish me luck!

#MLMs are massive #scams that proliferates in #churches. Top person makes most of the money, bottom ones lose as they buy more & more product but can’t sell it. I got sucked in a few times during my religious years w/the lure of "You’ll make so much money you won't have to work - leaving you free to save souls!"
EXAMPLES:
Amway, Avon, Mary Kay, Herbalife, NuSkin, Primerica, Usana, LuLaRoe, Vorwerk, Young Living, Tupperware
KEY WORDS
Plan, sponsor, recruit/partner, upline, downline, distributor. -
CW: Flat Earth conspiracies
#conspiracytheories #MLMs #religions #science #criticalthinking Very few conspiracy theorists embrace just 1 conspiracy. As with #religion , once we allow the willing suspension of disbelief for one “miracle,” it paves the way for more. #magicalthinking makes us vulnerable to all manner of #charlatans , #nonsense , & nincompoopery.

Still in hospital. It’s been over a week, for something (laminectomies) that was only supposed to be 2 to 3 days. However, I have received very good care and do not have to pay for one penny of it. Canada has some problems with our healthcare system, but personal expense is not one of them. #socializedmedicine #Canada #healthcare #GettingBetter

I love Seth Andrews' take on social media's impact on our interactions. 🌐💬 In the digital age, the quest for quick wit and validation can overshadow true human connection. How does our desire to 'win' online shape our conversations? Discover Seth's insights.

#ReligiousTrauma #mormonism #exmo #criticalthinking I have interviewed several #ExMormons on the Divorcing Religion Podcast & had them as speakers at #CORT (the Conference on Religious Trauma). Mormonism is an intense & high-demand religious group, viewed by many as a #cult - or at least, culty.
Will Mormon service missions become a thing of the past? https://religionnews.com/2023/09/28/will-mormon-service-missions-become-a-thing-of-the-past/ -
