  1. CW: Tuam mass child graves

    CW/TW: Mass graves, religious abuse, mother and baby homes
    The story of Tuam , Ireland 's mass graves has a very similar trajectory to those of the Indigenous children who died at residential schools in places like Kamloops, BC.
    Many of the Irish press, officials, and most of all, the church, tried to deny that this happened.
    But it did.

    These are some of their stories.

    Almost to the point I can break out of my inability to write because of my feelings and past trauma holding me hostage again.

  4. Possibly one of my favorite #Quotes of today: “Nobody excels at heaping religious abuse more than preachers who are ignorant about the cultural contexts of Bible passages.”

    It’s from David Robertson’s essay in The Moderate Voice and sadly, does not just apply to divorce. #ReligiousAbuse & #ReligiousTrauma can & does occur in virtually any religious setting or indeed any setting where religion, scripture, theology, liturgy, or other spiritual practices are given primacy. There is nothing wrong with questioning religious leaders, their teaching, or even the fundamentals of faith. Doing so is not a sin. In fact, we should all probably engage in questioning our faith tradiditions, religious teachers, and spiritual beliefs on a regular basis. Such discipline does not separate us from God, although it may separate us from a particular church, congregation, tradition, or denomination. In fact, it does quite the opposite by fostering a deeper communication with & understanding of the Divine

  5. “While there is no amount of money that can replace what was taken from these 1,353 brave individuals who have suffered in silence for decades, there is justice in accountability,” the plaintiffs’ liaison counsel said in a joint statement.

    It's very close, but I thought Christians would be the ones selling:
    - the bible
    - counseling
    - "this glorious set of DVD preachings"
    - forcible conversion by coercion
    - and "this vial of tap water, personally blessed blessed by the ministry's investment banker".

    A few years ago ago, members of Benny Hinn ministries shared some financial records with the media.

    On a 2003 trip to London where the "healer" stayed in a $4000 (US) a night hotel, he spent over $6000 on tea, lunchs and transportation, tipped staff over $3000 ($1000 to the concierge) and enjoyed $1000 restaurant meal. He then went to Harrods to buy about $200 worth of dusted almonds and fruit for his plane ride home. On the same visit, the record shows, he also gave a homeless woman with a baby a whopping $20.

    His custom tailored white suits made in Beverly Hills, with 14 karat gold thread marking his ministry logo on the chest, go for "several thousand dollars" each. His oceanfront mansion, listed as his patronage and paid for by "the ministry", was estimated to be over $10 million a decade ago. Considering what he's done to disabled people alone, I think they should do more than just tax him.

  10. Quote from Nicki Pappas on the Graceful Atheist Podcast:

    "I feared I was gonna fall apart. And that was when I was like,

    'Okay so we can actually leave church and I'm not gonna fall apart because I have something better than my trust placed in [pastor].

    I trust me.
    I trust myself.'"
