hello!! i was in a similar situation a few years ago and i was luckier because i could escape to university. i’m still in a situation like this since my parent wants me to give my life to christ (i think this is the same thing as confirmation but different denomination), and again i’ve been saying no (i also stopped going to church and that’s been difficult for my parents to enforce because again, i escaped to uni) but i recognise that i probably have a bit more freedom. all i really want to say is that your life is your own. even if you confirm today, and feel like internally unconfirming tomorrow, that is completely fine. if you decide to tell your parents that you don’t want to confirm then that is also fine. it makes sense that this feels awful and for me, it sometimes felt like a violation and someone trying to take away my agency, but when you recognise that no-one is leading your life except you and that your loyalties, beliefs and heart belong to you alone, it becomes easier to see this as a platitude rather than something that has meaning

guys my parent want me to confirm Christian

I don’t really want to, but my church is fine, and I don’t want to deal with aftermath.

I am going to, but it still feels awful for some reason

#i hope this helped!!!

I made a uQuiz to figure out how you would fall if you were an angel. My credentials are that I am gay and my mom was a pastor.

was not aware that people in the fanfiction community are using the term purity culture to describe negative reactions to topics that they write

#kinda aggravating bc ppl being annoyed at you writing dark smut is NAWT purity culture #dpmo

i’ve always maintained that missionary work is rooted in white supremacy but i revisited the story of the guy who went to sentinel island to try and evangelise to them and i’m just in awe at the audacity granted to missionaries by christianity

#how pig headed you must be #ex christian #deconstructing christianity #ex religious #deconstructing religion #exvangelical

I met God today. She asked me why I was crying. I looked at her, concerned, and asked if she’d heard of all the people dying? She said, “Oh yes, but why do you care? Don’t you know that life is nothing compared to my castles in the air?” I retreated from her and pondered, What deity could laugh -  And think of their created world as nothing more than chaff? The more I thought, the more I found I valued life upon the ground: The joy, the pleasure, the pain, the ache, And all the little things of life we make. So give me earth. Give me stars and life and love Don’t give me a place by your throne above. As I turned to go, I couldn’t help but wonder why, She cared so much about those castles in the sky?

Look, I'm just saying that if I were to make a religion and I wanted to manipulate people to stay and join, I would say things like "those outsiders think they're SOOO SMART but they're actually DUMB and WE'RE the SMART ONES" and "it's SO OBVIOUS that god is real and anybody who doesn't think that is a BIG DUMB DUMB" and "those outsiders are so EVIL and BAD and you can NEVER trust them" and "outsiders ACTUALLY SECRETLY BELIEVE but they're just CHOOSING to be EVIL HERETICS to LEAD GOOD CHRISTIANS ASTRAY" and "those OUTSIDERS don't know REAL LOVE or KINDNESS or HAPPINESS because they are WICKED and EVIL and HAVE NO MORALS" orrrrr basicallyyyy the entirety of Romans 1:18-32

#i always thought i was just raised in a quote unquote normal church #as in a non evangelical church #yeah no #very much exvangelical

Instead of posting Sunday reflections this volume, we will share posts/tweets/memes that the ēj editorial team have found and connect with - i.e. "Sunday Sillies." We hope you enjoy these collections of deconstruction adjacent memes over the next few weeks. Happy Sunday

i think i’ve always told myself that i have to be measured and super consistent in everything i do, lest that make me a christian but no!!!! sorry but i am human!!!! i am not anti-religion, i am anti-christianity!!!!!!!!!! i was always like, “well you can’t really claim to critically appraise religion as a structure when you only talk about christianity.” and i was somewhat right but like, i’m not this super articulate spokesperson!!! i just hate christianity, that’s really it. yes i hate all organised religion but my BEEF is with christianity.

#always tried to be super consistent in my criticisms #but sorry!!!!! #i HATE christianity #goodbye!!!!! #also #i can’t really speak for other abrahamic faiths

the church, and all organised religion, has so much blood on their hands. and it’s literally unjustifiable. you can’t believe you are deserving of paradise when the road there is marked with the blood of the millions that have died as a result of your influence on the world.

#it’s unforgivable
