I don't know anything about what has happened so if I'm wrong or dumb literally go off at me please BAHAHA but I'm Mormon (Christian) myself and it irritates the heck out of me how Evangelicals do this. They're the same ones who wear crosses or have a model of Jesus hung up somewhere, which is sacriligeous and a sin to have any model or personification of Jesus of Heavenly Father! It's hypocritical and it irks the heck out of me. Everybody should be able to deal with their religious trauma in their own way without everybody trashing on them for it. It's your trauma, you get to deal with it in a way that makes you happy and feel healthier. Nobody gets a say in it but you (I mean, unless you are actively targeting every person of that faith you see despite that individual not harming you because obviously that is never acceptable, but that's different).
I will always say this as a Mormon myself, I am so sorry if our community has ever hurt you in any way. They are not a true reflections of what our beliefs and teachings are supposed to be and should be. They don't represent us all. Those people are awful and how they can call themselves Christians is beyond my comprehension lol.
god i dont want to tack onto that post but AS USUAL I HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT CHRISTIAN SHIT and I'm fuckin dying at so many people bitching about lil Nas X """appropriating""" christianity
like, first and foremost, he's said explicitly that this art is a direct response to his own religious upbringing, so he's not appropriating anything?? you can't viciously hammer all this iconography into kids from birth then decide they don't get to own their own stories when they grow up and process what was done to them lmao. if christianity doesn't want ex members to be so outspoken about their trauma and make aggressive art about it probably it should quit traumatizing people idk
second oh my god the evangelicals shitting their pants about all this are the same ones who are aggressively TRYING to make their own religious icons so ubiquitous and commercialized, you can't support a guy using jesus to sell pillows and then turn around and go "umm our symbols are Sacred actually :///"
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A VIRGIN TO WORSHIP A VIRGIN DEITY!!!!!!
Athena doesn’t care that you’ve slept with someone.
Hestia doesn’t care that you’ve slept with someone.
ARTEMIS doesn’t care that you’ve slept with someone.
No virgin deity cares!!!
You don’t have to be a virgin to pray to/seek guidance from/worship/as favors of virgin deities. If Artemis, a Goddess who asks her Huntresses to swear off men forever, doesn’t care that you’ve had sex or are having sex while worshiping her I think you’re good. I’m so tired of the misconception that you have to be a virgin or swear off all men in order to be close to these deities please, guys, my dudes, my peeps, worship whoever the fuck you want and live your life.
Remember when the fucking Notre Dame burned down and everyone knew instantly and it was over every single news outlet?
Well there’s been a massacre going on in Sudan for DAYS and NOBODIES COVERING IT!
So there is currently a media blackout in Sudan to try and coverup the horrors taking place:
Stop what you’re doing and please reblog this. Innocent people are being murdered, people are trapped, have no internet access, and are being raped by the dozens on the streets of Sudan.
The death toll is estimated to be over 300 civilians. And the fact that not a single major news outlet is covering this is horrific and disgusting. Please help get the word out about Sudan!
