Honestly, pretending that Christians don't think god is male is just pathetic. That's just factually incorrect. You can reinterpret your emotional support book all you want, that does not change what is actually in it, and what has actually been done with it historically.

Get help. Learn to read. Stop fooling yourself, your cult ain't cute. It is a cult of woman hatred.

And before there's another long rant as though I'm pulling this out of my ass... I studied the bible at school since kindergarten. I've been indoctrinated since before I could fully read. I live in an extremely religious country, where religious tradition is commonplace and expected.

Don't try to pass off your new agey version of an asexual agender god as the absolute truth when you KNOW 99.9999% of christians do not have this interpretation in mind. It's just so fucking disingenuous and ignorant of basic reality... It shows what a fanatic you are, and to what great lengths you'll bend reality to for jesus... You know, the male son to the male god who, as per your precious book, was placed into Mary. Did she have a choice? Did she really?

"Came unto" can be interpreted as came upon, came over, entered, overtook. Don't pretend your personal favorite bible translation is absolute. Mary was TOLD she would bear the male god's male child by an angel. She was not asked, she was informed. Be honest. You know this is what you were taught as well. If it wasn't, then you are part of a small, very specific Christian community. This is what I learned in Catholic church, this is what I learned in Sunday school, this is what I learned in Seventh Day Adventist church, this is what I learned in Saturday school, this is what I was taught at SDA primary, secondary, and high school as well.

Just because they reframe it and pass along the interpretation that Mary was told she had been impregnated by the holy ghost and she rejoiced, the truth is she was informed by a male coded creature that she was to bear a child that wasn't hers. She was a child and had never had sex and she had no choice.

Also I don't think you wanna be claiming one particular translation and interpretation as absolute when it comes to the bible at all, considering the sort of deeply misogynistic stories present in that hunk of trash. It's all fun and games when we're all "love thy neighbor" or whatever the fuck, but please go ahead and spend some time explaining how woman positive [these passages] are.

Just because the bible isn't 100% about how bad and evil and gross and wrong and sinful and disgusting women are, it doesn't make it okay that so much of it dismisses women altogether.

Also please, the praise of Mary as a perfect holy being because she took a pregnancy she never chose, and bore a child she never wanted, and bowed her head, and said she was happy about it doesn't make the bible woman positive. It makes it propaganda for women to take their marital rape with a closed mouth and nobility, so that maybe they'll be remembered as beautiful, chaste, perfect martyrs as well.

Don't get me started on the concept of virginity that surrounds Mary and how it is used to degrade and control women.

Christians/new agey godly types often twist reality of the religious beliefs they claim to adhere to, so I truly hope your very very very male god keeps you warm at night, and that you'll at least start being honest about what you believe in, rather than making excuses for it. If you wanna be in a cult, go all out, don't pretend to hold out. It's even worse than just being outspoken about the inherent misogyny of your religion, because you fool other women into buying into your bullshit. Just be fucking honest.

I just experienced religious bullshit in the middle of Walmart

Old white woman comes out of nowhere telling me that I need to cover up more and I am in shorts and a tank top because it's fucking hot outside and bitch has the audacity they say that shit to me?

So I look her straight in the fucking eye and said "oh your husband can't keep his eyes to himself is that's what's going on? Then pluck his eyes out!☺️"

she says "what!"really confused and angry

I said "I didn't stutter Jesus said if you can't keep your eyes to yourself pluck your eyeballs out problem solved!"

Then she's making this angry noise getting red in the face and she opens her mouth about to say something. But I interrupt her and I say "oh did you not read that part in the Bible? Did you not read that verse? Do you need a refresher? Vuz I can help you pluck his eyeballs out with no hesitation!" and I smile at her staring her straight in the eye as I say all this.

She makes this like huffing noise all angry tell's me "You're going to hell you hussy!" grabs her basket, turns away and walks to her husband

Who mind you wasn't even looking in our direction, was instead looking at his phone. Sitting on a bench by the front door waiting for her to finish buying her groceries!

I'm not sure how to explain to my coworker that not only am I a godless science weirdo, but that the religion that I am most comfortable with looks nothing like Christianity. How do I explain that the closest things I have to "religious" experiences do not align with what Christians report.

There is no spirit that has spoken words to me. I have not thought about the Bible and come to some special inspiration. I have only had moments of knowing how small I am in the world and finding symbols for myself. And I have not felt any of this inside the walls of a church.

The religion I am interested is old, Earth focused, and no one makes any promises to my soul after I pass. I find comfort in physicality and ritual. I find comfort in mythology as symbolism and not the truth about anything. I find comfort in thinking that every small thing has a spirit, and that even the "gods" are small and flawed in similar ways to myself.

If I had to choose, I would be some kind of pagan. That is a complete 180 into a bunch of magical thinking, but I can not reconcile the scale and the promises of the Christian God.

this user thinks it's beyond hilarious that tumblr thinks these religious posts are for "for me"... by which, I can only guess tumblr means they're "for me" to comment on.

After all, if theists are free to proclaim their faith - I am equally free to proclaim my contempt for their insistence on shoving their fictional deity down our collective throats... or for pretending to be oppressed when there are christian holidays on my fucking calendar.

Arcade’s only sin is the sin of being born and I don’t think anyone can get it right when they write him.

Can you imagine the hatred? The disgust? Do you think that when he passes by mirrors and catches his own reflection he thinks “Innocent people died so I could be born” or “I am named after an idea of paradise that would cause the slaughter of thousands”? Does he feel guilt, this man who had to privilege of not having to go hungry, of being able to grow and tower over regular wastelanders? Does he consider the fact he was born of years of love and hate? That he was bred to be a fervent nationalist? Does he miss Navarro and then realize with disgust that had it not been destroyed he would’ve become the very thing he fights tooth and nail against?

And he simplifies it. He dumbs it down in his head and tries to save himself the sheer horror that the people he misses so dearly, his father, his mother, would’ve probably wanted him to mercilessly kill the very people he treats. He says to the courier “They did bad things. Kidnapped people, terrorized settlements.” But is that really it? No. But the thought that his parents named him, this tall man who used to be a child (that, had fate not changed, would’ve grown to be a soldier or a scientist hellbent on “purifying the wasteland”), after a paradise that would’ve brought about the destruction of thousands of good people must be a bone-chilling notion.

People don’t write him with the guilt of knowing what he was born to do. And they don’t write him with the pride of knowing that he defied it and works to better the wasteland all around him, to fix his nation’s mistakes.
