gotta love being part in Worlds Shittiest Religion

#Owl hoots #anyways uh lent is a thing and I’m already upsetti spaghetti #It’s mostly fasting. I see no point in fasting. #It’s supppsed to “bring you closer to god” and “let you sympathize with the poor” ok shut up. #why am I encouraged to starve myself #And feeling solidarity with the poor isn’t enough. Not eating a real meal and calling it a day won’t help solve anything #And I don’t feel closer to god. I feel closer to pain. #Yes the point is to resist temptation but it just feels more like #“Oh I’m hungry that means my body needs more nutrients to sustain itself. #haha too bad I can’t satisfy what my body needs to survive because Jesus didn’t or smth :)” #I’m not the second coming of Christ. I’m not going to be a holy saint. I’m not a devout christian #And if this religion is actively having me feel disconnected from its benevolent god then I’m sorry #I don’t want it. #I’ve tried to want to stay catholic but it’s just not doing it for me. #the combination of this and that the other day we spent the entire school day talking about solidarity (I go to a Christian school) #and it made a huge point about standing with minorities #not one. ONCE. did anyone ever mention the lgbtq community #I’d rather they call me a fag and a tranny then just ignore my existencd #anyways uh I’m sorry. This is probably really insensitive #Just ignore this post I just needed to get this off my chest #Vent #tw christianity
