The double bind of "if bad things are happening to you it's because you're not a christian and god is punishing you" but when you are a christian and bad things are still happening it's "bad things are actually a gift from god because trials make your relationship stronger" is actually wild. If a romantic partner was like "I'm going to cheat on you and treat you badly so we can overcome it together and strengthen our relationship" we would rightfully call it abuse. If you punished someone for the grave offense of *checks notes* choosing not to engage in a relationship with you, people (hopefully) wouldn't be like "just get in a relationship with them to stop the abuse". You don't owe a relationship to anybody, but especially people who are abusive and harmful!

Sometimes people demand you justify being an atheist with a 200 page well-sourced thesis on biblical scholarship but one of the reasons I am not a Christian anymore is so fucking simple. It made my life worse. It made me unhealthy mentally. I’ve grown one thousand times more as a person without it. If it were really the one true wisdom from an all knowing infinite god, it would make my life better. And that’s enough proof for me. And it’s a valid reason.

Everyone has their own spin on how they’d like Eddie and Marisol to break up. Well, here’s mine: (under the cut)

Marisol used to be a nun but she doesn’t seem like she outright rejected Catholicism in her life. She makes light of that part of her life, telling Eddie she’ll spank him with a ruler if he asks, suggesting she doesn’t harbor religious trauma or serious negative emotions associated with Catholicism. She may still be a deeply religious woman. We see the large cross she brings with her when Eddie is unpacking her things. I know there’s the premarital sex and premarital cohabitation she’s been engaged with but we all know believing in a religion doesn’t mean you always follow the rules.

Eddie, on the other hand, we know does have at least some feelings of negativity towards the church. This can be seen in his heart to heart with Bobby when he talks about how he doesn’t identify as sharing his faith with Bobby and how he felt pressured into marrying Shannon so young. There’s also the comphet undertones to his character that would cause him to further reject the Catholic belief system.

I want Marisol to start asking Eddie to go to church with her. I want her to bring up Christopher getting confirmed. I want her to invite Eddie to pray with her. I want her to start making the difference in their religious values apparent. And Eddie? Eddie is SO not down.

He’s already opened the door to the Catholic guilt and he does not want to step through it. Cue introspection and pondering the role the church has had throughout his life but also repress, repress, repress. So he picks up extra shifts on Sundays so he can use work as an excuse to not go to church. He does everything he can to avoid the topic. But eventually he can’t hide anymore and realize that differing on religious beliefs is a fundamental relationship killer and that the relationship can no longer continue.

So he breaks up with her over it. A definitive action that illustrates how he feels about the church and its role in his life. He’s not just breaking up with Marisol, he’s breaking up with Catholicism, for good. Letting go of Marisol = letting go of some of the beliefs he held that shaped his worldview, possibly including being comphet. He could finally examine how he approached relationships and start a journey into his own sexuality (though he wouldn’t be aware his sexuality was something to be contemplated).

Tim, please, I’m begging you. I will write this show for free, please put me on staff.

there is an insane amount of antisemitism floating around right now.

i just want to say:

this blog loves and supports jewish people.

this blog does NOT conflate the israeli government, or the atrocities it commits, with jewish people.

this blog is disgusted with those who use or express antisemitism.

this blog knows that if someone needs to invoke antisemitism, they do not actually care about helping palestine or the palestinian people.

this blog will do its best to ensure that it remains a safe space for all.

I cannot express how jarring it was after being raised by a "Porn Addiction Coach" to get into a relationship with a woman and come face to face with the fact that she did actually want me to sexually desire her.

Like, in Evangelical Purity Culture, male desire was basically poison. It was a threat. It was this constant temptation that would destroy everything. And even after leaving, in the sort of queer, feminist spaces i spend most of my time in that wasn't something that pretty much anyone was spending time actively dissuading me from feeling.

But my desire is good. It's not something that I'm being accepted in spite of. It's a positive thing. It's a bonus. Not even just vanilla stuff, all the stuff I'd convinced myself were these weird terrible desires that were shameful to have.

It honestly took me over a decade to fully accept that. To stop dissociating during sex and confront that I was, in fact, being a massive perv and that was fantastic and preferable and that I could accept that into my self-image without shame or self hatred.

But it's important to do. It's important to leave relationships that don't welcome that part of you. To know that your sexuality is valuable and valid and worth owning and celebrating. Because the alternative is just...not being. Either existing as yourself and repressing the part of your identity that is sexual or allowing that sexuality to exist but turning off your self while it does.

If you're trying to unpack and heal from Christian religious trauma, a thing you really need to understand (if you don't already) is that you were probably misled about Judaism a lot. Christianity generally tries to paint itself as the self-evident successor of Judaism, and one of the ways it does this is by painting Judaism as Christianity Without Jesus.

In reality, Judaism is practiced very differently from Christianity, and Jews have a very different relationship to their Bible than Christians have to theirs. Just about everything you'll hear about Judaism from Christians is total hogwash - literally, it's Christian propaganda. Christianity as most of us know it was shaped by the Roman Empire's political agendas, and that's a huge reason why it's the way it is.

Me, trying to figure out what iced coffee i want before work: ...mocha?

The thing that's been clawing at the inside of my ribcage since I was 13: GOD IS REAL AND HE IS THE SPACE THAT EXISTS BETWEEN ALL THINGS. DO YOU HEAR THE DRUMS?

Me: i think.... french vanilla
