Yes, the mythology fandom won’t wish death or eternal torture upon someone because of their mythology, unlike christians.

It's a lot easier to deal with Christians around Christmas when you start thinking about the religion as mythology.

Treat the stories the same way we treat Greek or Roman mythology.

Christians are just all part of the Jesus fandom.

HUNDREDS OF REASONS NOT TO BE RELIGIOUS!

when I was very young my mother told me “they’re going to try and teach you that we came from monkeys but that’s not true and you shouldn’t listen to them because we were made from god” and she was my mom and I was like 7, so I pretty much just went “okay, noted, anyway”

anyway like 2 years later evolution comes up in class and one of my classmates goes “is this the we evolved from monkeys thing?”

and I’m on Red Alert. this is what my mom told me about!

the teacher replies, “well, we share a common ancestor, but we didn’t evolve directly from apes. if you go back way before apes or people existed, you’ll find a different third thing we both came from. we know this because of things like fossils”

and I was like whoo! dodged a bullet there, good thing my 4th grade science class isn’t trying to teach us we came from monkeys and instead figured stuff out using fossils and taught us that instead :)

Instructions Unclear, Ended Up Believing In Evolution Anyway

i find the trend of getting offended at goth people for wearing rosaries so funny because it’s like,,,,, how do you know they’re not ex-catholic? how do you know they’re not irish? or polish? or mexican? or italian?

you gonna tell them they can’t interact with imagery from their own culture? pls lmao.

All religions can’t be right.

But they can all be wrong.

You cannot demonstrate any claim by referring to the claim. It’s nonsense. 

someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good

People protect a woman who is burning her scarf

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.

If they ask this question then they probably don’t have one

“Where do atheists get their morals?” It’s called a brain and you have one too

PSA - Delete any asks you receive about "joyofsatan.org!"

We've been through the "Gold Star Lesbian" spam asks, as well as the amegaotaku/rekka007 ones, and it seems that the new copypasta spam ask everyone is receiving is one where people are asked what they think of Joyofsatan.org, claiming them to be "the largest Satanist organization in the world."

These asks are mostly sent to users who frequently talk about the occult and/or witchcraft, feminist bloggers, and Jewish users, with the message slightly altered for each person it's sent to. Here are the two most common variations of the ask:

"What do you think of Joyofsatan.org? They claim to follow the Pagan Goddess Lilith/Lalitha, they’re pro-choice and they’re the largest Satanist group in the world." <- This one also occasionally includes "they support women's rights" after "they're pro-choice." This also seems to be the most commonly sent ask.

"What do you think of Joyofsatan.org? They claim to follow the Sumerian God Enki-Satan and they’ve become the largest Satanist group in the world."

Although these asks are usually sent on anon, they're also sent by the burner account 88643468, presumably to bypass anyone who has anon asks turned off, so I suggest blocking that account, especially if you have anon asks turned off.

Now, the reason you should delete these asks, instead of engaging, is because the Joy of Satan Ministries in question is a Neo-Nazi group, as detailed on the Wikipedia page I just linked, and these asks appear to be a recruiting tactic, going by the types of users most commonly spammed with the asks, and how the asks are re-worded depending on who they're sent to; instead of a singular copypasta that gets sent to everyone, it's variations of the copypasta that are each targeted towards a different demographic.

The people sending these asks want you and your followers to go to the Joy of Satan website, so that it gains more traffic and, of course, to suck people into their white supremacist cult.

So please, please, don't engage, just delete the asks and block the 88643468 account, and if someone you follow answers one of these asks, urge them to delete their post and to block the 88643468 account for extra measure. Right now is also a good time to disable anonymous asks, or even take it a step further and only allow asks from people you follow, just in case 88643468 isn't the only burner account.

Please share this.

This blog is a space for apostates/ex-religious, self-proclaimed heretics/heathens, secular/irreligious celibates.

With this blog, i post and reblog topics related to severing my ties with god and religion.

Growing up as religious, I was taught that my purpose is to get married, reproduce, and increase the population of believers, which i reject.

I’m on a journey to find meaning through philosophy and celibacy, without needing to depend on relationships or religion to have purpose in life and find individuality.

"That's not god's fault," might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. My child, that guy's entire claim to fame is being omnipotent and omniscient.

Christians, or far-right zealots?

Christians will abuse you their entire life and then tell you the reason you’re mentally ill is because you don’t have jesus in your heart

i can fix him *traumatizes him*

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.

My least favorite kind of reply to posts with valid criticism of organized religion is "Don't say "religion" when you mean Christianity!!" like...

"Why can't you just respect my opinion?"

Because your "opinion" is dehumanizing an entire group of people.

"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.

The nonbinary urge to sink my teeth into the divine and Eat God.

“BuT hE LoVeS yOu1!1!!1!1”

'if you dont obey god god will make it so that bad things happen to you' is anyone else getting abuse vibes from this? tell me im not the only one who finds this incredibly fucked up and abusive

I love how the bible basically implied that knowing “what’s right and what’s wrong” is apparently forbidden.

Which also reflects on how religious people who blindly follow their faith without questioning it, because questioning is said to be wrong.

Also because questioning it would mean people would leave once they realize all the morally wrong things being preached.

Thankfully, some people still stopped to question.

Questioning what you know shouldn’t be forbidden.

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