I feel like Christianity constantly teaches to you to “forgive”, even under the most heinous circumstances. The term “forgiveness” worms it’s way into abuse, murder, sexual assault, trauma, etc. Obviously none of this stuff is as cut and dry as “forgive and forget”, but Christianity (religion in general) makes it feel that way, and in doing so tends to make victims feel as though their reactions and feelings toward their trauma and or abusers (however acceptable) aren’t “Christ-like” and they should be ashamed. “Forgiveness is the only way to healing.”
Fuck that, you don’t have to forgive anyone. Like, work through the trauma, speak to people you trust and those can help you navigate the tumultuous feelings and don’t steep in anger your whole life but fuck it you do not have to forgive. Ever. There are other ways to heal.
I don’t “forgive” my abuser. What they did traumatized me, and it’s obviously not okay. It’s not something that is “forgivable” to me, nor do I have any desire to try and contort my thoughts and feelings into thinking I should forgive them.
But, in that same breath, I used to think that I did forgive them. My guilt for not wanting to forgive them ate at me, and I thought I was a bad person for it. I’m not a bad person, I’m a regular person with valid feelings.
This was a ramble, but that’s what this blog is for!

Me: I don't like a lot of religious people in popularized religions being the worst versions of themselves out here, thinking that they're somehow still good because of that religion having some loophole that saves them (or rather, saves their ego) if they do something immoral
Shitty satanists and wiccans and people from other alt religions: yeah!
Me: that includes you
Them: well you're just mean ): karma is gonna get you ): die lol ):
# - being part of a religion that is considered better than Christianity doesn't make YOU a good person, if you don't even uphold yourself to the morals and standards of it, except for "I'm my own god" and "I'm powerful, don't mess with me" to please your ego -

Why do I always do shit like this
TLDR: threw water on some religious nuts
About once a month these religious fanatics set up a microphone and speaker down the road and scream in tongues from about 5pm-10pm.
I cannot express how loud it is. I have no idea how this one speaker can do this. We’ve called the police on them before but they say it’s free speech. My dad has gone over and yelled at them.
This time, I got a big glass of water, walked over to them and threw it on the speaker, microphone, and the last little bit in the guy’s face. Btw, this didn’t break anything, trust me they kept going for hours after this.
I screamed, “my baby can’t sleep! Stop!” (I don’t have a baby lol). This girl who looked like 15ish and embarrassed to be there said she’d tell them to turn it down, and they eventually did.
As I walked away they yelled “el diablo! Lucifer!” One lady on a bike followed me home and told me the devil was going to get me and if I came back she’d beat my ass.I said “good, bitch! I hope he does! How Christian you’re being right now”.
This was last night and I couldn’t sleep thinking they’d come and break in or something lol. Karma? And if so, for who?

"'Yes, the bible has a lot of sick stuff in it but it has some good stuff in it too.'
You mean it's like arsenic laced with vitamin C?"
-- Michael Sherlock
If it's the word of, or even merely inspired by, an all-loving deity, why is there anything troubling in it at all? And whatever your explanation for the troubling parts, why can we not assume the same is also true of the "good" parts?

I don’t like people who try to convert someone to whatever religion they are. I’m not religious, that’s my choice. Everyone has the right to choose what religion they do/don’t want to be part of. Just because someone’s different to you in a certain way doesn’t mean it’s your right to try & change who they are! Let people be who they are! How about instead of being a jerk, respect them for their choices in life, because that’s way better than trying to inflict some form of hurt on someone else.

Religion is crap and if you defend it don't mess with me. Religion is a front. People use it to be good when you should just be good without it aren't good people... Religion is bad. It's literally just a means of control. Stop, keep it to yourself unless asked. Take that shit off license plates and money. Get rid of these giant churches. Keep that shit away from my damn food too! I don't want a stupid verse on my bag of food. Stop forcing it. Just...keep...it...to...yourself...

The irony of "god is everywhere" and then building a temple for them and telling the believers that they have to go there to become good followers.
