Religious Conservatives Love Talking About Trans People “mutilating Their Genitals” And Then Go Off

I cannot believe in the year 2024 popular media sites are still referring to child sex trafficking victims as “sex workers”

it’s so isolating being an ex muslim, i left islam for my liberal values and trauma only for a lot of people on the left to coddle islam and defend it from any criticism while ex muslims are still being killed, tortured, honour killed by their own family, it was very disheartening to see that the side that says that they are “here” for the people who are suffering to constantly demonize ex muslims and their trauma and suffering and actively create a hostile environment against them and then they wonder why some ex muslims turn to the right, cause they listen to them even though they may know that they are probably nothing but a token they still will be there cause they think that the right hears their criticisms and suffering.

"Satan is the cause of all evil!"

If Satan exists. He was made. By god.

You cannot have it both ways. Where your god made & is responsible for everything and yet is powerless in the face of its creation & abandoned it to one rebellious child.

And may I remind you...

Angels were not given free will.

Anything done by Satan may as well be sanctioned by your god.

one of the most fucked up things i remember learning was that g*d straight up KILLED all of job’s children. he murdered them. he also took everything else from him and made him ill and all… but he killed his family, the people job loved the most out of everything.

and then after he resolved his immature whose-dick-is-longer contest with satan he was like “here you have more children, no need to thank me”. like…. that’s not how it fucking works you fucking sociopath.

Demons are usually depicted as red to indicate that they’re heavily seasoned with paprika and chili powder, like a chorizo.

jesus may not love me but he does want to fuck me so checkmate catholics

If you ever find yourself in public with an obnoxious Christian that is trying to pray for an audience, just hit ‘em with the Matthew 6:5 quote:

And when you pray, you should not be like the hypocrites, who love standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets to pray, so that they may be seen by men.

The other thing about discussing harmful things about the christian church and getting "that's not what that verse really means/that's not how that doctrine should be applied/that's not actually supported biblically/etc" back is that... at a certain point it doesn't matter. Yes there are varying beliefs within christianity (understatement with 45,000 different denominations lmao), but you don't get to claim that christianity is separate from any harmful beliefs when a lot of harmful beliefs are the majority.

You can say "the bible wasn't ever talking about gay relationships in [xyz] verses" but that doesn't make the average church actually safe and affirming for queer people. You can say "actually hell doesn't have any biblical backing" but that doesn't mean very much when like 75-80% of christians believe in hell. You can say "men and women are equal in the eyes of the Lord" but it doesn't erase the rampant misogyny in christian culture.

If the members make up the church, if members are the church, then at a certain point the cultural beliefs or majority beliefs have precedence over what was intended. You can't say "oh just ignore [belief/doctrine/interpretation/etc]" when that would be dismissing the church's most predominant collective beliefs. You don't get to just disregard harm because that "wasn't the intention". You don't get to look at the result of said harm and decide it doesn't matter because it makes you look bad.

France did a review on the pornography industry and revealed that 90% out of millions of videos watched contained violence against women and misogyny.
