You find it funny that Christians demonize others for dabbling in "Dark Arts," but they worship someone who came back from the dead, something that's not natural. Seems to me that that is a double standard.

I like to remind myself that one day, the great stars will die, the earth will crumble to nothingness and I will return to the G.R.3.A.T_V.0.1.D that I once was.

"No politics." and "No religion." rules are Massive Red Flags.

These rules are common in a lot of places that are intended for discussing specific things like your personal disability and relationship to it, or your personal queerness and your relationship to it, or your hobby, be it trains or cross-stitching, and more often than not, this rule creates an unsafe environment for marginalized peoples.

These rules are especially common on US based forums and chat servers, but they're found all over the world.

The problem with these rules should be obvious, but in case you've missed it; Everything is Politics.

Everything in your life is affected by how your country and the world around you are governed. From the price of your tap water to whether or not your postal service works. From whether something is purchasable locally to if it can even be imported or not. From whether you've got a safe place to live to whether or not you can legally drive your car.

Every single moment of every single day of your life is affected by the rules and regulations that exist around you. The fact that you can read this right now is because I live somewhere where my access to the internet and freedom of speech allow me to write this, and where you either have access and freedom to read, or you've found a workaround that lets you get away with accessing and reading what your government has forbidden.

EVERYTHING! Every Damned Thing is affected directly and indirectly at all times by politics.

And everything you do and say anywhere outside of your own personal bubble where not a single soul can hear you is both political and shaped by your politics.

It can be so minuscule and so mundane and normal that it's effectively irrelevant, but every last one of you has some idea, vague as it may be, of what kind of world you long to live in. And not only that, every last one of you, even if that too may seem vague and mundane, is shaped to some degree by the world you Do live in.

Religion, for better or worse (mostly the latter in most cases), is intricately interwoven into the world in much the same way. Even heathens like me are prone to exclaim "Jesus Christ!" or "God Damn It!" when the occasion calls for shouting expletives and throwing your hands up in frustration.

Much of western European and US culture is so steeped in cultural christianity that people treat the idea of going to church for a concert as an entirely secular and non-religious thing, even when that concert is a team of church choirs singing songs from Jesus Christ Superstar to mention a real life example.

So when these rules are set and implemented, they don't actually mean what they say on the packaging, and they're consistently enforced in a way that is based in conflict avoidance first and foremost.

And here's the thing that happens, and while exceptions may exist I have never seen one: - Someone makes a post or writes a comment or shares an image that contains dogwhistles or other forms of fascist propaganda, without using the words that people associate with specific political parties. - Someone else, often times the very target of the fascism in question or at the least a semi-aware ally, responds by calling out the problem with the post or comment or image, calling it out by name. - The rule of no-politics is invoked and the person responding is scolded for either making it political, or failing to keep their criticism of the politics a private matter with either the fascist or the mods.

That's the sequence of events I've watched unfold, and been a part of, too many times to count, and the results are a testing ground for dogwhistles where a fascist feels welcome and protected.

Their politics are never challenged because you're not allowed to talk politics.

They get to feed you tropes and dogwhistles all day long, as long as they don't say the quiet part out loud, and if anyone challenges them, the mods and rules are used in their favor.

Any environment that tells me "No Politics!" and/or "No Religion!" is an environment that tells me that this is a place where I'm forbidden from speaking up for myself when the fascist start implying, polite as can be, that perhaps the world would be better of if people like me were simply not allowed to exist.

Or at the absolutely very least, it tells me this is a place run by people who have forgotten that they live in a world and that pretending otherwise won't make that a political fact.

MARY IS DEAD : Everyone must die once, and after that be judged by God - Hebrews 9:27

NO BIBLE VERSES DESCRIBE MARY BEING TAKEN INTO HEAVEN AT THE END OF HER EARTHLY LIFE.

Do not be cheated anymore by preachers, who twist God’s word for selfish gains or force you to follow 'man-made' religion, denominations & its ungodly traditions. STAY AWAY FROM RELIGIOUS LEADERS & THEIR PLACES OF WORSHIP (1 Tim 6:5 KJV, Col 2:8). Blessings to you & yours.

"It only takes one generation refusing to serve god for the next generation to know nothing about him."

Today's apostates and "nothing in particular"s will be the parents of tomorrow's atheists.

You know how so many people say that God is in all of us?

Well they are right, except they misinterpreted God as the Ego.

I thought about it with the help of Michaelangelo's painting "The Creation of Adam" and Gaurdians of the Galaxay movies.

**SPOILERS FOR VOL 3**

The high evolutionary had a god complex. They thought that everything they created was by their design, so they knew its limit. But when Rocket pointed out something that they didn't know, it shattered them. They couldn't understand how something they created knew more than them, and it was a blow to their ego. It destroyed their perception that they were in control of everything.

Like Ego, the living planet, they thought themselves as a god because they didn't know anything else and when they met other beings, they decided to change things because they didn't like how everything was and tried to make all of it them.

Michaelangelo's painting, if you look at god you can see the the shape around it is a brain. The mind created Adam not god, god is just the ego. And Ego was just a brain that didn't value connections with others.

(This is my opinion, but when you look at the antagonist of gotg, Ronan was a zealot, Ego was a god, and the high evolutionary had a god complex. There seems to be a theme in this trilogy.)

They say that God exists. ok let's try 😇🤭

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss Bank.

• It's humor ☝️ I, thank God, am a convinced atheist.•

Atheist

I was explaining being an atheist to my friends, and one of them said, “But then you can’t celebrate holidays like Christmas?”

To which I responded, “I can, they just have no meaning.”

“So Christmas is just presents for you?”

“Pretty much.”

there ain't no savior

As I trudged down the street today, heading to the post office on a mission for some godforsaken reason, it hit me like a sledgehammer to the gut: life is a goddamn circus, an absurd spectacle of the living dead. We're all just shuffling along, going through the motions, waiting for the cancer, the heart attack, or the stray bullet to take us out while we feign ignorance of our own fragility.

And then, there they are, the Bible-thumpers on the corner, dressed up like undertakers, white shirts and black ties, shoes so polished they'd blind a man if he looked too close. They're out there, itching to save us, or themselves, with tales of the baby Jesus and promises of eternal life. But what they always seem to forget is that once those babies are born, they couldn't give a rat's ass about their well-being. At that point, it's every man, woman, and child for themselves.

I can't help but think that deep down, somewhere in the recesses of their tortured souls, these self-righteous folks know they're peddling a steaming pile of bullshit. They're just too damn scared to admit it, too terrified of facing the cold, hard truth that life is nothing more than a chaotic dance with death, and there ain't no savior waiting in the wings.

So, we keep up the charade, playing our parts in this grand performance of life, pretending that everything's just fine and dandy. But beneath the surface, the storm rages, and we can't help but feel that nagging itch at the back of our minds, that sinking feeling in our guts that tells us we're all just fucked.
