#mine #you guys can ignore this im gonna rant for a second no one look #but like.... #the thing that gets me is how....like if i'm talking about my faith? and my personal relationship with religion? #i'm not looking to have an entire conversation about why YOU think organized religion is wrong and bad #you asked me a question about my faith and i am happy to answer it and leave it at that #but my relationship with my faith and my religion and my way of life is not an opening for you to #rant about why religious institutions are toxic and bad ESPECIALLY #when you have made zero effort to understand it #there is such a big disconnect between the institutions themselves and the faith itself #and there's a huge difference between me following my faith #and the countries that say they're following that faith #you asked me about what something means? you asked me to clarify something for you? fine great good let's leave it there #i'm not falling for the whole 'idk much about it cause actually it's complicated for me i don't really follow religion' #okay great good for you i'm not asking because i know wehre this is gonna lead us #and i'm not doing that anymore #i'm not defending my faith from someone whose sole purpose is to start an argument #i'm not defending my faith to someone whose entire guise for this conversation has been to throw their own two cents in #there's a lot wrong with the religious institutions and organizations handle themselves #but that is not my problem because that's not my concern #my personal relationship with my faith is my own business and something no one else needs to get involved in #so no sorry i'm not looking ot have that conversation i'm not looking to talk about why you think its bad #when your entire frame of reference for MY faith has been outlandish right wing news sources #if i say something about Islam or Ramadan or I try to make a joke about it and your first reaction is to try and debate the role of religion #it's safe to assume that the post was not meant for you in the first place and therefore you don't need to interact with it #lord almighty why do people think i care about their opinions
