  1. The #Violent #Hypocrisy of #American #Christianity

    Christianity 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:

  2. As someone who has #deconstructed from both Christianity and liberalism, it saddens and mystifies me when #exvangelical friends aren't able to take the next logical step.

    Just like the Church, the State is a system of hegemonic control, maintained through propaganda, and claiming to benefit the people. You saw through one lie. Why not this one, too? 😢

  3. #13

    Ok last one for now. Not really a meme, but an important reminder about what Jesus was really about.

    ALT-TEXT: Line ink drawing. Three figures rest at the foot of a hill after shooting a scene, as suggested by a film camera in the background. The Father rests on a tree wearing a long robe. He resembles the artist (bald bearded old man) and holds a bottle to his mouth. The Son sits at his feet. He is Jesus Christ in a crown of thorns, carelessly smoking a cigarrete. Bottom figure (The Holy Ghost), most likely the filmaker, wears a baseball cap and sunglasses. Papers hang from his right hand, above a holy bible full of page markings. The scene has a burned-out heavy feel, as if having been played too many times. It is signed as Diaz/79. Hugo Diaz Jimenez was known for decades of prolific heavy political satire in #CostaRica Central America.

  5. CW: Religion

    Nice to see the top story on RNZ is about #shunning.

    "All of the 19 former or current
    #JehovahsWitnesses spoken to for this story want shunning to end, either by the religion softening its stance or by the government recognising its harmful impact and stepping in."

    From my lived experience as an
    #exvangelical – even soft shunning is incredibly hurtful.

  6. Also today is the last day of #PrideMonth but that doesn't mean we have to stop posting Pride memes or encouraging, supporting, or standing up for our #LGBTQIA peeps.

    Also one day I'll post ALL my #JesusMemes, b/c as a former #WorshipPastor and current #Exvangelical, I have a plethora of Jesus Memes.

  7. This is just another frame of something I talk about at length in my book, that Us vs Them thinking is established to create a Milieu Control towards testimonies from former members who had bad experiences in the group. This dehumanizes outsiders, and prevents existing members from sympathizing or even understanding the complaints of those harmed by the group. Looking at these tactics from different angles improves understanding. #exmo #exvangelical #exJW #shunning #AbuseCulture

  8. @kyleford I'm not *precisely* #exvangelical but I'm pretty damn adjacent. And I'm definitely into the whole #deconstruction aspect, though partly owing to its fascinating doubled word play with #Derridean deconstruction. #JacquesDerrida

  9. @natehanson So, I first really became aware of the #exvangelical etc. use of #deconstruction as a term at the #AmericanAtheists convention last year, with a bunch of absolutely amazing #TikTok creators. It was a cool juxtaposition because I'm accustomed to it in the context of #Derrida and "postmodernism," and I absolutely love the layers and wordplay this plays with. #play
