Sinful-skeptic - Minerva

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

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.

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

it's really weird having a first dog be blind and then getting a second who can see...like how was I supposed to be prepared for this.

this creature can perceive when I put the treats up on the high shelf. or when I hide stuff behind my back. I can't fool her!! she's always watching me and she shouldn't have this much knowledge!!!

I walk around at night and I shine my flash light directly into her eyes and I'll just be standing there staring at her weird blue orbs for like 5 seconds until I realize it's probably extremely annoying to her, because she has eyes!! I'll turn on the light in the room and she gruffs and grumbles like ?? oh right!! light wakes you up!! the fuck??

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.
