#christianity. to pick ANY day of the week you are referencing the christian creationist myth –– even distantly

[emcads]

ok i just want to clarify my point here because i’m not criticizing christianity or any faith,  and if you are uncomfortable calling it sinday in relationship to your own faith (or for any reason at all) i am not objecting in the least. it doesn’t matter at the end of the day what you call writing sexual content on tumblr on a certain day of the week. but here’s my gripe with that post and the point i was trying to make:  the western christian canon is not a universal moral code.  the post says, more or less, “stop calling sex a sin,  sex is good,  you aren’t bad for writing about sex.”  but christians calling something a sin does not make it universally evil. doing something christianity says is a sin does not automatically make you an irredeemable person. the association we need to unlearn is not that sex = sin,  but that sin = evil and not sin = good.

#✘; I HAVE SEVENTY TWO EXAMS AND I HAVE NOT STUDIED FOR ONE ( ooc ) #i feel like im being so self-righteous here but like. i am a lesbian atheist. everything about me is a sin according to christianity. #i'm not a bad person just because christianity has labeled my actions as sins because i don't operate by that moral code #that post (even if their intentions are good) is perpetuating the same moral code imo #even by saying no no no it's not a sin - it's good so it can't be a sin !! #who cares if its a sin. #christianity says its a sin so what. its also human and fun. a day for sin does not mean a day for #being evil people or being bad. it just means a day for sin. like? that's it. no further moral judgements. #i don't know who invented calling it that but to me? calling it sinday says yes we acknowledge that this content has been labeled as a sin #and as wrong and censored in the past. fine it's a sin ! let's have a day to celebrate that content and how human and fun and good it can be #the word loses its power to strike fear if something can be good and a sin at the same time. #anyway. i just. needed to explain myself a bit here because i feel quite strongly about how christianity perpetuates everything #( and again. i'm not making a personal judgement on you if you are a christian. i am saying culturally / systematically ) #but that post just gives me such bad vibes. DONT call it a sin because sins are only EVIL AND HORRIBLE THINGS. that will make you go to HELL #you MUST call it this because it is a GOOD thing and therefore NOT a sin #it's just the same puritanical sin/virtue language but reframed as sex positive? idk. am i making any sense. #like. the reason sunday is even regarded as a Special Day at all is because of christianity. the reason weeks are 7 days is because of #christianity. to pick ANY day of the week you are referencing the christian creationist myth –– even distantly #you can't ever remove the context entirely so i would just rather say yeah that's a thing let's have a BLAST with those aesthetics #and not live in moral fear of sins one way or the other ? #again i feel like my religious followers are really gonna hate me for this one but like. HH many thoughts about religion. #not many of them coherent ones
