Hi, not sent in hate but I just wanted to point out that while yes the orthodox church is still conservative, it doesnt act like an imperial empire on any scale close to the roman catholic church. The crusades, the aggressive conversions and conquests of other lands, the absence and rejection of serious interfaith respect and discussion, these are inherent to the catholic church.

"The crusades"

sir you know that before the schism of 1054, the Eastern Christian church (i.e. Orthodox) not only participated in but were the ones who requested the Western Church to start a crusade to save them from the invading tide of Islam, right??? what do you mean they didn't do crusades??

"imperial empire"

have you not heard of the Byzantine Empire.... or Russia, for that matter...?

"the absence and rejection of serious interfaith respect and discussion"

what does this mean tho. this is very vague.

#im not trying to be mean at all im just genuinely puzzled by this ask #also as far as “aggressive conversions and conquests go” y'all need to remember there's a difference between teachings of the Western Churc #and then what Catholic rulers do in its name. they are not interchangeable and the distinction DOES matter #regardless the Orthodox churches political influence might have waned in the last 500 years or so but man im telling you #the core beliefs that drove the Catholic church are the same as the Orthodox thats why the schism was so dumb it was 90% political issues

listening to a podcast and the hosts are talking about why a lot of queer people tend to subvert religious imagery and language in a sexual way and one of the hosts was like "its the repression. it makes you nut harder"

#i cant even say she's wrong bc i wrote a novel length gay fanfic in hs full of catholic imagery to deal with my own religious issues #this is also true no only from a queer perspective but as generally as an apostate as well #i knew i was agnostic before i ever thought i was bi and my weird excitement about religious imagery only increased after i left the churc

since it’s apparently comparative religion monday it’s so interesting how the a lot of denominations vary so much regionally/by congregation to say nothing of high church/low church etc. like i went to palm sunday services when i was in utah and i felt really overdressed because a ton of people were there in like jeans. and also because there were a bunch of mormons out on the street heading to/from their own services and they were dressed more like i was. so i guess i come from a region where you dress up more for church and utah episcopalians don’t. i imagine that’s probably affected by being part of a left-of-center church in mormon central too.

#i grew up in a congregation that did incense and a lot of high church/anglo-catholic stuff and i kind of miss it bc most episcopalian churc #churches do not do all that

[weirdshrimphours]

god that post really turned some wheels tonight lmfao. being in therapy with a main complaint of "growing up in the inner cult circle of a megachurch" is just the gift of complex and unfortunate feelings that keeps on giving

#there is footage of me as a minor performing in elaborate easter plays and stuff! in one i make the christian equivalent of a dirty joke! #i did not understand it bc i was literally five or six and REALLY really liked snakes and lizards! #i still remember by heart the song i sang in one of them! it was a solo with a guy who was kind of into me! #people would recognize me at my workplace after I was kicked out and would take me to the side to tell me they were praying for me! #people who mocked me because i couldn't perform womanhood and then who condemned me when i accepted that I wasn't a woman! #i can't relate to other ppls childhood experiences because of how heavily my media intake was regulated & how much it revolved around Churc #i'm so thankful that i got out and where i'm at and how my life is rn. i'm SO thankful. #but i also can't help but grieve all the people who didn't. all the fulfilling relationships that I had but could not even begin to repair #because of the extremist paths my childhood peers have taken. my entire social group from 0 to 14. gone. ripped away from me #because people saw a lesbian when they looked at me and I didn't do anything to avoid it

People will be incredibly rude when they think they can get away with it and very few seem to consider on how it reflects on them as a person. I was watching my friend's brother get fitted for his turban for the wedding and the Indian-Dutch friend who only invited as a plus one by another guest started talking mad shit about how the turban fitter has a unibrow. She was standing maybe 2 feet from said turban fitter. Yes he might only speak Marathi and not understand what you're saying about/to his face, which literally less than a meter from you, but we all understand and now I know you're an asshole. We're supposed to get lunch together (me, guest, rude bitch) as the resident foreign guest trio and I'm just like uh no I'm gonna go photosynthesize on the balcony, bye.

#so many things about this girl I do not like. might be the dropping her IQ score (ugh) might be that she was a Mormon missionary (UGH) #she was like I was a missionary and I was like oh for what church and she's like....my church? yeah no shit but there's more than one churc #and then we did a 'who's on first base with THE LORD' bit for a full minute until she said the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints #at which point I was like oh it all makes sense now #tbd

[yuoic]

are you a radfem? curious to your opinions on transphobia in the feminist movement

Warning: this will be really, REALLY long. I apologize for this. It's just that I honestly needed to avoid leaving a single aspect uncovered (I'm not a fan of self-diagnosing but I strongly believe this could be considered a symptom of some disorder, lol).

>"A-set" (comprised of one or more individuals) has an essential need, further called "A". >"B-set" (comprised of one or more individuals) has an essential need, further called "B". >If "A" comes to be, "B" can not be; if "B" comes to be, "A" can not be. >"A" and "B" cannot happen at the same time; therefore, "A" and "B" are mutually exclusive.

Example. Let "A"="cis-women-only spaces" and "B"="trans-women-inclusive spaces currently/previously considered exclusive for cis-women".

>"A" is perceived as a violation to what is essential to "B-set". >Essential = absolutely necessary, extremely important >If "A" comes to be, "B-set" will feel invalid, threatened, disdained, aggressed. >"B-set" will look for ways to overthrow "A" as the norm, then proceed to establish "B" as the norm instead. >Norm = something that is usual, typical, or standard. >"B-set" perceives "A-set" as a contributing factor to the violation of "B". >"A-set" perceives "B-set" as a contributing factor to the violation of "A". >It is possible that either "A" or "B" are enforced as the norm. >If there is no "A-set" or if there is no "B-set", the opposite set will therefore obtain the certainty that their corresponding essential need will be less threatened or completely cease to be it. >(some) Ways to dissolve an opposing set: invalidate it, threaten it, disdain it, aggress it.

Example. Let the norm be "A"="redefinition of what being a woman means in order to include a wider population to fit into it"; then "B-set" will seek to invalidate, threaten, disdain and aggravate "A-set".

>The more an authority fails to comply with either set demands and needs, the less such authority will be trusted and resorted to. >Radical = [relating to or] affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough. >Thorough = complete with regard to every detail; not superficial or parcial. >Since "A-set" and "B-set" won't recede nor dissolve, and since both sets feel unprotected by an authority, both sets will likely become driven to resort to radical behaviour against the corresponding opposing set. >Dignity = the state or quality of being worthy of honor and respect. >An individual's life and their dignity are fundamental to their nature. >The most effective way to dissolve a set of individuals or one individual once and for all is to deprive them of their life. >The more threatened of (negatively) affected the set feels, and the more essential the violated need, the stronger the impulse to resort to radical behavior. >Since murder brings considerable (negative) consequences for the perpetrators, the second best option is to devoid the opposing set of their dignity. >Genotype = the genetic constitution of an individual organism.

Example(s). Let "A1"="acceptance that only the female sex is referred to as girls/women", "A2"="acceptance of the inherently evil nature of all men as a fact", "A3"="public proposal to eliminate all men from society, regardless of the means taken, as part of the right of freedom of speech", "A4"="purposely ignoring someone's requests to be referred to as in a specific way, fully aware that nothing will impede it", "A5"="purposely ignoring physiological differences between the sexes to include a wider population into a certain category specifically designed to sort individuals based on their capabilities/characteristics", "A6"="an individual or set of individuals of a certain genotype are applauded for displaying an array of behaviours, habits and preferences, while another genotype is punished for displaying the exact same things"; then "B-set" will spread death threats, degrading messages and aggressive behaviour towards "A-set", since not all of the individuals comprising "B-set" are willing to face the consequences of depriving someone of life.

Q: Am I a radical feminist? R: I hope I never find myself in a scenario such that I will be forced to engage in radical behaviour; and whatever radical behaviour I partake in, will definitely not consist on vague threats, weeks-long social media debates with disagreeing strangers, or disdainful insults towards any of them.

>Phobia = an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something. >Fear = an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. >Fear/aversion can be acquired because either set has been fed lies (either because their perception is malfunctioning or because they were systematically indoctrinated) >Fear/aversion can be acquired because of negative experiences with what is fear in the first place. >Fear/aversion becomes extreme under the same two previously provided scenarios. >Not every fear/aversion will be irrational. >Not everyone will feel the same as the next person. >Not everyone will consider the same situation as harmful as the next person will. >Not everyone will have the same criteria to deem something harmful. >Not everyone will consider one or more thing as being transphobic.

Q: Is it wrong to give in to phobias and its projection onto people's views, opinions and behaviour? R: Of course - as long as they're irrational, NOT born out of a traumatic experience as extreme as the fear/aversion that resulted from it; because then the questions should be "When are you available to elaborate on what you consider an effective way to repair the damage done and to prevent the traumatic experiences and the dangers that cause irrational and/or extreme fear/aversion towards an individual or a set of individuals?" and "May I please elaborate with you on what I consider an effective way to repair the damage done and to prevent the traumatic experiences and the dangers that cause irrational and/or extreme fear/aversion towards an individual or set of individuals?"

Moreover, in hopes that the rest of my views are implicitly read between these lines:

>"A-set" and "B-set" are subject to include individuals who are willing to take any means to (negatively) affect the quality of life of themselves and that of people around them, specially when they feel threatened and/or are devoid of the ability to accurately tell whether they're actually being harmed or not. >People willing to (negatively) affect the quality of life of those around them, even if they know they're not being threatened and/or harmed, could very well partake in comprising any one set to achieve their own ends and their utmost satisfaction. >It is because of those people that both sets are and will always be unwilling to recede from their stance. >Once either set has established what is considered the norm, they will be granted with many benefits and it's implications. >While not every individual of either set is ill-willed and/or lacks the ability to accurately tell whether they're being fundamentally challenged and therefore when or how to proceed, the possibility of at least one such opposing member being benefited from becoming the norm represents a harmful risk. >Neither set is willing to take not even the faintest risk of being (negatively) affected.

>One of the hardest things human kind has always remarkably failed to achieve is effective, peaceful communication, let alone getting to an agreement. >People in power benefit from this, since what is at stake evoques a very strong, very wide array of powerful emotions in every individual or set of individuals involved, thus becoming easy to exploit. >After weighing their chances, they'll know which group they should better appeal to and which group they should emotionally "milk"- at any cost -in favour of keeping on fueling the drives and opinions of the others. Like breeding mice to feed a pet snake. >Better supporters = better benefits. >Purposely not saying "more supporters" because a fistful of powerful people can easily establish whatever norm they deem convenient, not needing a single other individual but themselves to impose their will upon entire countries and countless industries. >People in power devote oceans of resources to study our most fundamental nature and then use every ounce of knowledge to attain the best way to manipulate us (non-influential people) into doing their biding. >People in power already know that an army of easily triggered, upset, out-of-control, hypersensitive, undisciplined, easily aroused, indulgent, indolent, unfocused, fragile, explosive, ignorant, lazy, hungry, resource-limited, incompetent individuals are the fittest sort of people to control and manipulate at will. >People in power will do everything- and I mean EVERYTHING, at any cost -to make that possible and to perpetuate it. >That way, there won't be a single individual left who is willing and fit to engage in a respectful agreement with a counterpart, thus allowing people in power the ability to keep on avoiding our attention, granting them impunity since everybody's too busy pointing fingers at each other, avid to get the other extinct, gifting these people in power even more material to discover better ways to use us and then dispose of us.

Mad love to every single one of "you", who are not so different from "us".
