Frequently Thinking About How God Decided Off The Cuff That People Should All Speak Different Languages

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

i just got a call from my sis. She said morality police riding on motorcycles attacked her on the street and forced her into a van and kept her at a police station for hours and let her go just now. Her voice was quivering and she was shaken. Told me to be careful today on the streets. Said to wear something on my head so they won’t attack me as well. I am furious at how easily this fuckedup religion and this fuckedup regime reduce us into a quivering mess. Mere objects that they can so easily control and subdue. How we go from someone with a job and a life and family to a criminal they can attack and abuse and imprison. This is the true face of Islam. Not the pretty, cutesy one they show you in the west and you all fall for it. But this brutal, barbaric treatment of women who refuse to comply. It’s in the very text of quran. Please stop covering up the ugliness of organized religions and our daily suffering just to be ‘cool’ and liberal and polite. It’s always better to be informed and ‘smart’.

working in customer service makes you really see how small the microagressions towards women can be. i usually pick up takeout calls, and the first thing i notice is a man’s tone of voice.

why do you sound so condescending the moment you realize i am a woman?

why am i a “stupid bitch” the moment i tell you that our restaurant is not doing takeout at the moment?

why is the only way to deescalate a conflict getting my male coworker on the phone?

some westerners will be calling christianity a colonizer religion and it’s treatment of non believers,women,queer folks,and poc while making excuses towards islam

"Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us, only sky

...

Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too"

--- Excerpt from Imagine by John Lennon

Private celebration in my bedroom during a voice call with friends ended when i got forced to attend church for the new years. How memorable. What a terrific way to start the new years. Please do keep preaching about eternal torture while everyone else is having the time of their lives.

Just like how criticizing Christianity is not Christophobia;

Criticizing Judaism is not Antisemitism,

Criticizing Islam is not Islamophobia

Criticizing Hinduism is not Hinduphobia

Criticizing Buddhism is not Buddhophobia

Criticizing other religions/spiritualities is not Anti-Theism

Criticism is not discrimination

i feel like having religious trauma from mormonism is so fucking lame. like at least other branches of christianity have cool imagery like rosaries and stained glass windows. wtf am i supposed to romanticize, Joseph Smith? Family home evening? That one very specific painting of Jesus that every mormon knows?

For me it was moral perfectionism, i would constantly feel like i'm evil and immoral. I would sometimes become a doormat and let others push me around for the sake of that sweet, sweet, moral high ground. And back when i was religious, i would cope with others pushing me around by thinking "they'll be going to hell anyways".

Open discussion: has anyone dealt with perfectionism that most likely came from years of religious trauma?
