Do You Know How Many Witches The Inquisition Burned?

Your concierge-god is too busy getting Maureen from Butkrak, Missouri a parking space, and fixing football games so that Bob from Pharthoal, Louisiana’s team wins.

Actually, ex-Christians have earned the right to make fun of Christianity. It comes free with the religious trauma.

Someone i know even admitted that the only reason he’s a zionist is out of fear of “God’s Wrath”.

Listen, i dont mean to sound like a reddit atheist, but... You ever think about how evangelical Chriatians very literally believe that there will be a genocide in which billions of humans, mostly just innocent everyday people, are condemned to suffer in hell?

And, like, that's the end. That's the finale. Of everything they believe. That's their solution for the world. A final one, if you will.

And they don't rebel. They don't say "hey, wait, that's a bit much" and appeal to their God to maybe reconsider. They don't even seem to really mind.

Instead, they worship. They conjure up an image of a genocidal maniac, and they worship it. The word "praise" is bandied about a lot. Praise. For a leader whose endgoal, very transparently, is genocide.

Suddenly a lot of history makes a little more sense.

most of the time I think my religious trauma doesn't bother me anymore

last year I took a creative writing class

I had my narrator take the lord's name in vain once or twice

(I like to do it, now. now that I can.)

I didn't think altogether too much of it because my story wasn't about god at all

it was just about guilt guilt guilt

but my professor called attention to the way my narrator said god when they were angry

"almost like prayer," he said

almost like prayer.

feeling empowered and actually having power are two very different things. women are usually offered the first one.

Christians hate when a gay man goes “fuck it, I’ll gladly go to Hell if you want me to so bad” because it takes the edge away from their tools of fear. If they can’t scare you with threats of eternal damnation then one of their main weapons is taken away.
