i’m gay but i’m always gonna choose the well developed straight ship over the 2 bland and incompatible white dudes that have 500,000 fanfics written about them. you guys just hate women.

#ok the notes are a mess so im gonna say this again #its fine if you dont like straight ships or wlw ships for their dynamics. like thats personal taste and thats fine #but if all you do in a fandom is ship and there are no women involved #then maybe you need to be considering why you dont think about female characters at all #'well the characters are just underdeveloped' ive seen people obsess over male side characters with so little screentime. get real for a se #just put more effort into actually caring please #howd this get here #kitkat fandom posting #<- prev tags #fandom

Why don't they make stained glass fish tanks? Give those fish Catholic guilt

#alright so if the stained glass causes the guilt #mormon guilt is caused by white and cream colored liminal ass looking rooms #and those damn couches and chairs that look comfortable but aren’t #exmo

One of the things I'm super grateful for is that after I had gay sex for the first time, I knew that they were wrong, that I had been wrong. There wasn't anything unholy about gay love. It was resplendent with beauty. I felt my lover's arms around me and I knew the wrong thing, the terrible thing, would be to continue to deny myself the joy of being held. I still had a lot of work to do to change my views and deconstruct Christianity, but it became completely and utterly untenable to believe that any justifiable moral code would prohibit gay love.

And I had been so afraid to go that far for so long, convinced that god would punish me in some way. I thought that if I ever had sex with a man I would be lost entirely and sink deep into a horrible misery. I thought it would destroy me, but instead it gave me what I needed to build a whole new life entirely, outside of the grip of what actually was destroying me.

It's really fucked up how Christianity teaches that some people can only be reached for Christ when they hit rock bottom. Christians will pray for people to endure tremendous suffering simply so that the non-believers can hear the voice of god. Truly an abysmal failure in imagining a loving god.

"he's so loving because he caused me to experience the greatest pain of my life so that I could finally listen to him"

Absolutely insane move on the part of an all powerful, all knowing, all loving deity. You're telling me the ONLY WAY was the road of agony? Unrelenting love, kindness, and divine revelation weren't options?

Kids who were called "one of the most deep spiritual thinkers I've seen" by their pastors are all apostates now

We were never broken.

We were given a broken mirror.

When I was a Christian I thought that I was born broken and that by the grace of God I would be fixed. And when I looked at myself I saw something broken. But then I opened up my world a little bit and looked at my reflection again and saw that the brokenness that I'd seen before was a product of the stories that I'd been told in Christianity.

We don't have to be broken in order to be loved. We don't have to be completely transformed in order to be good. We don't have to make ourselves small so that a jealous god feels big. We don't have to wait around to be saved because we can save ourselves from people who would want to make us feel broken.

The double bind of "if bad things are happening to you it's because you're not a christian and god is punishing you" but when you are a christian and bad things are still happening it's "bad things are actually a gift from god because trials make your relationship stronger" is actually wild. If a romantic partner was like "I'm going to cheat on you and treat you badly so we can overcome it together and strengthen our relationship" we would rightfully call it abuse. If you punished someone for the grave offense of *checks notes* choosing not to engage in a relationship with you, people (hopefully) wouldn't be like "just get in a relationship with them to stop the abuse". You don't owe a relationship to anybody, but especially people who are abusive and harmful!

my favourite Bernini statue isn’t a real statue, but the damaged clay and straw angel that was the model for the bronze statue.

actually im not a christian so if u try to say “but the bible says..” one more time to control what i do with my life, i will take a bible, a kjv bible, with study notes and apologetics lessons, and shove it so far up your ass that you will actually know the scriptures you claim to be quoting

Idk call me crazy but I don't think you should worship a god who says you can't kiss someone before you're married. Like you'd think he'd have his hands full with the wars and the famine and the fuckheads causing them, but no for some reason the lord god above is PRESSED about where and when you're pressing lips together. I feel like if we just take a step back for a moment and look at the world, all presumably a result of the divine plan, we might be able to start weighing the divine planner's opinion on kissing a little bit less. Let's get this universe a little peer review
