Vagueposting: I started writing a long multi-toot post about a favourite Christian musician from my youth, who left the church and/or "lost his faith" at the same time as me, but it brought up too many big feelings I just can't get words out right now.
How the fuck do i still have so much religious trauma, when i left the church over 20 years ago? UGGH

63% of LGBTQ+ Christians left the church. They chose comfort over us. We build better where they refused to hold. https://twp.ai/9OWM7r #LGBTQ #Queer #ExChristian #QueerJoy #Pride#ClimateJustice #Disaster #Resistance #Hurricane

He wore the blue shirt his mother ironed when the church voted him out. 63% of LGBTQ+ Christians have left — Williams Institute confirms what every empty pew already knew: institutions chose comfort over humanity. We build better where they refused to hold.

CW: Mental Health, Therapy
Started #EMDR #therapy on Monday. It’s completely different than any other therapy I’ve done. I didn’t go too deep into #trauma from my past, but it was still emotionally taxing.
Taking a 6-week leave of absence from work. Only 2 days left until that starts. Need time and space to find myself and get grounded. The last 2 months have been so intense.

The moral takeaway is a vague sense of "just believe" that falls flat when you grow up and realize that kind of thinking simply doesn't work. I don't "just believe", and neither should you. Demand more from your ideas. Put the responsibility on the unproven claim and not on yourself.

When Billy is singing a song about how Christmas never works out for him (his family is poor and/or fractured in some way), the girl sings to him about how great Christmas while listing off a bunch of good things about it; things that Billy doesn't actually experience. Christmas sucks for him but because it's great for her he's supposed to just believe.

On the other hand, in The Polar Express, the kids are supposed to just believe. Even though the main character has ample evidence not to at the start of the movie, his disbelief is treated as something weird or nonsensical by most of the other characters.

In RotG, the responsibility rests on the aforementioned Guardians to do their job so that kids believe in them. When kids wake up with no money under their pillows (due to sabatoge) they stop believing. When the Easter Bunny fails to put all the eggs out on Easter (again, sabatoge), they stop believing.

Alright, who's ready for an ex-christian rant about The Polar Express?
I think the reason I dislike The Polar Express so much while liking Rise of the Guardians (another movie centered around believing in mythical beings) is that each movie puts the responsibility of belief onto completely opposite parties.

You Can't Solve ANYTHING Without Critiquing Religion
From the way we vote to the way we view labor, commodities, and each other — our society is built on #religious ideology, whether we realize it or not. Yet, so many leftist and #socialjustice movements avoid critiquing religion directly.

Why #Religion Will Eventually Die Out

From outdated #dogmas and #contradictions to the rise of reason, technology, and human #progress, we’ll uncover the cracks in #faith and the unstoppable rise of #knowledge. The future belongs not to #superstition, but to truth, #logic, and human potential.

I saw this post yesterday.
I have some things to say about it.
Fuck the hardliners, as long as you’re doing your best to be a decent human being, all progress is good progress and the best praxis is to start right now with exactly what you have. There is no single definition of what being a “good leftist” looks like, and even if there WERE, there would need to be accommodations made for disabled people, Mad people, poor people, cultural nuances, etc..
Additionally, as an ex Mormon and a cripple punk, I wish leftists who talk like rebranded Christians would understand how nonsensical their takes sound. Nothing will get fixed without real progress and real work from real people, and that involves being patient when people fuck up, working together in community, and actively building a better world together, however we all can contribute, no matter how small. There will be no Revolution without progress made in the first place ffs.
So if all you could do is survive and take care of yourself today, I think that’s good praxis. Self care is community care, and I’m glad as fuck you’re still here. If all you can do is share memes and news, that’s a form of activism in and of itself, and I think that’s good praxis. If you’re making art, writing things, being a performer or creative in any way, even if you’re only sharing it with your friends, partner(s), and/or family? Art is political. This, too, is good praxis. If you can do more? Badass. That’s also good praxis. Please don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

The #Violent #Hypocrisy of #American #Christianity
#KayseMelone
#exchristian #exvangelical #christiannationalismChristianity has long been framed as the ultimate path to #morality, #familyvalues, and #goodliving. But #history tells a much darker story. From #missionaries who dismantled indigenous cultures to the role of Christianity in #colonization, #conquest, and modern Christian nationalism, the truth is clear:

The "#ShinyHappyPeople" #sequel highlights the #Christian boot camp that traumatized a generation
The three episodes focus on #TeenMania, a Christian #ministry founded by #RonLuce, with a goal of getting children to turn to #Jesus and reject temptations like #sex, #drugs, and #alcohol.
But the #darkside of the ministry destroyed so many lives.

GOP in OK, USA: the bible MUST be part of all school curriculum, grades 5-12
Me: my fave is Exodus 21:16, do you know that one?
GOP: oh yeah i love Exodus, its --
Me: good, lets recite it together! "And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death."
GOP: how dare you talk about ICE, Core Civic and GeoGroup like that
Me: its your bible

#ChristianZionism: The Most Dangerous Belief in #America
#exvangelical #exchristian #christianity
Here, I break down the most dangerous belief I was taught growing up evangelical: #Christian #Zionism. This powerful theology isn’t just about #faith — it’s a driving force behind #US. #foreignpolicy, billions in #militaryaid to #Israel, and the ongoing #genocide of #Palestinians.
