What was the inspo for Acolyte AU

So uh… this explanation might be a bit deeper than you wanted to go but here it is:

I grew up in a small Methodist church. All of the members were like my family, some of them still are (even if our relationship is more complicated now). I always had a lot of questions about my religion and they were rarely answered, yet I kept going. When I didn’t understand the Bible because I was too young I read a comic book version over and over again until i knew it by heart. (I still know more of it than necessary) Then, I found out I was gay and Trump was elected and things went down hill. I couldn’t understand how a religion supposedly based on love could root for a man so full of hate. After that everything began unraveling. Church wasn’t fun to go to anymore and everyone around me seemed like they were secretly judging me. I was gaining nothing from anything anybody said and was overall very unhappy. This year, my family moved to a Unitarian Universalist church (a church that is for all religions and is all about activism and human rights and nature and stuff), but a couple months ago our ex-church had a vote to disassociate on a matter of human sexuality alone. When you sit in a room full of people you knew and cared about and watch as they high-five about voting against you… that does something to a person. Especially when the vote is 40:45 where three of those votes were you and your parents. After that I just grew more and more angry and have really begun to try and unpack what my former religion did to me. This au has been my way of sort of processing some of my feelings. My experience was nowhere near as bad as any of the characters’, but it gives me a place to deconstruct and sift through my own emotions.

Long answer short: my religious issues were my inspo for the au

Yeah also just a heads up this whole au is about religious trauma and if that’s a trigger for you please don’t feel pressured to stay!! take care of your mental health!!!

I love queer Catholics. I don't think I'll ever feel safe or happy being a member of that religion, but seeing queer Catholics who live out a kinder, truer, more livegiving version of the traditions I grew up with is very reassuring and healing to see. I can never go back- I've been hurt too much -but seeing this gives me much-needed hope for this institution that has caused so much harm, to me and to others. Keep doing what you're doing guys, and thank you <3

So, with that help of a friend, I have determined that I'm pretty sure I'm sapphic, and the about of turmoil and conflict inside of me because of growing up in a Christian home where questioning the faith and being anything but cishet was disapproved of is insane.

I feel like I'm being ripped in half. There's one side of me that wants to go on a complete deconstruction of the Christian faith and then there's the side of me who just wants to bury this new discovery and go on trying to be a good Christian because of a fear of Hell that has been instilled in me since a young age.

Jeez, I thought I didn't have religious trauma....

when I'm going to write an essay about lucifer using Sam's prayers and pure beliefs in God to manipulate him back into the cage with his abuser, is such a horrible way and Sam crying over this state of affairs that, Dean was right (writers 🙃), that God isn't there and don't help them — don't help him

What I think #1

Have you ever been on a freeway or an expressway? Well if you have then you might have noticed that the road is divided into four lanes. Now suppose there is a car on each lane. The one on the extreme right teases the one on the extreme left saying “look at this foolish fellow driving on the left and look at me driving on the right.” And the one on the right does the same. The two cars in the middle are just confused and are thinking to themselves what is actually going on? They forget a very simple thing: whichever side they choose is leading to the same destination. Same is the case with today’s world. Now I believe that religions are just different ways of reaching god. And the people choose the way they like and there is no problem in doing so but in recent times there have been countless cases where communities are fighting out trying to prove themselves supreme….which is wrong. The basic thing that every religion teaches us is to just be a good human being. For example In Christianity greed is a sin, in Hinduism lobh is a sin which means greed, In Islam it is said in the holy Quran that a greedy person is far from god. From all these examples we learn that all the religions are teaching us the same thing but with a different method. Now what can we do as a person to help society? Well as of now we can first of all start by being a good human being. We can respect each other’s religion and teach it among ourselves too that secularism is the future. We are the future and it is us that can bring the world to peace.

Not to sound weird or anything but I wonder what it'd be like to hug someone I was comfortable with and not scared/weary of instead of hugging someone who's a conservative and I have to hug because I have to. I've been surrounded by conservatives and have rarely ever met anyone who wasn't a christian who hated abortion, gay rights, and liked trump. And that kinda sucks I wish I was allowed to go meet more people who were not awful but they won't let me because those people are 'sinners' :/

Far-right Ben-Gvir to be Israel's national security minister

Far-right Ben-Gvir to be Israel’s national security minister

JERUSALEM — Extremist politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, who has a long record of anti-Arab rhetoric and stunts, will become Israel’s next minister of national security, according to the first of what are expected to be several coalition deals struck by former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party. Likud announced the agreement with Ben-Gvir’s Jewish Power party on Friday. Negotiations with…

Dear Christian who are queer/who are questioning/who are struggling with their faith, please help me. I have spent three, almost four years, burying the fact I think I'm queer, and it sucks. It also doesn't help that I've come to realize I've never truly had a relationship with God/Jesus, and it's making me really question my faith. It's like I'm standing in this room and all these people are talking about this great guy, and I can't see him. Everyone is promising he's amazing and perfect, but I still can't see him and it's like he's purposely hiding from me and the Bible says that not God wouldn't do that, but that doesn't make the feeling go away and I am so lost.
