Kids who were called "one of the most deep spiritual thinkers I've seen" by their pastors are all apostates now

So um. Why the fuck do people follow a religion. That made me, as a 5 year old, wish i could die of food poisoning or get hit by a car, so I could go to heaven? That made me, as an 8yo child, wish with all my heart that I could just die right after taking the sacrament, that the chapel roof would cave in or something, so I would be free of sin and go straight to heaven. Like what the fuck. Actively making -10 children suicidal isn't really okay you know

So the comments in this post make me very uncomfortable and it disturbs me.

The cross is not an accessory. The cross does not stand for the “T” in LGBTQ or “T” for trans rights. As much as I love those people and I want what’s good for them, it disturbs me because it’s almost an insult to the church. God did not support Trans rights or LGBTQ.

Now I shall say this and I hope you remember it.

The cross is what Jesus died on to save us from sin, it is not your aesthetic.

[gorps]

^theyre lying it the t on the wall stands for trans rights

[toastpotent-deactivated20250619]

the T stands for Transgender because that’s what jesus was

[goddessofwaifus]

Don’t go inserting your lgbtq+ views into the Christian religion or on Jesus. I may not be christian or believe in god myself but i draw the damn line when you say jesus was trans. He was born a man. I’m all for supporting trans rights and lgbtq+ but if you say the cross stands for trans or that jesus was trans.

Gtfo Tumblr and if you follow me, gtfo my tumblr and get help. There’s a damn limit to where you can and can’t insert the lgbtq+ but you don’t insert it into Christian faith. Jesus is not trans and if you say he is, you’re not educated in the bible where they say HE. He isn’t a trans man. He’s a man period.

Fuckin hell 😡

[riggedforsuccess]

no jesus was definitely trans and queer, sorry you haven’t read the bible like i have 😔

[thelimegreenmachine]

literally though if Mary actually had a virgin birth and never had sex, she wouldn’t have gotten a Y chromosome (unless you say God has DNA which, idk I was always a Bad Christian, sounds a little heretical to me). therefore for Jesus to have actually been the result of a virgin birth, he would’ve had two X chromosomes - aka, born biologically female - because getting a Y chromosome was impossible. Jesus was trans pass it on

[doccywhomst]

jesus is a trans icon

Also JC had like 12 boyfriends he lived with in the desert. Do you really want me to believe they were not having sex.

How to tell someone from the relief society that I don't want a ministering assignment because talking to people I don't know makes me almost physically ill sometimes, while still sounding like a believer.... Advice?

[godsporncollection]

in my experience, it really depends. they might be the kind of person who respects that, or they might be the kinds of person who thinks that you need to socialize *more* to get over your anxiety. any of my followers got any advice?

[amotherfuckingbadger]

idk screech like a velociraptor at her, ig. in my experience doing that will make people leave u alone

[the-righteous-heathen-deactivat]

Yall ever have family get mad when you don't close your eyes for prayer when you're literally an atheist

[godsporncollection]

years ago, my sister got mad at my brother for not closing his eyes during prayer, and my dad just shot back with "and how would you know?" and the topic has never been raised in my family again.

Not to screenshot my own tweets on main but yall need to see this too.

Bonus:

[mermaidpiratevampire]

I see a lot of lovely Exmos in my notes on Sundays and just in case someone needs it I would like to say:

You are not less than, impure, a sinner, or a bad person.

Your body is yours and yours alone, and it is amazing and nothing to be ashamed of.

The world isn't ending.

There are people who love you unconditionally. You are valued.

It gets better. This is temporary.

The "inclusive heaven"/"everyone goes to heaven unless you're REALLY bad"

Bull shit. Let me tell you a little something about the Mormon idea of heaven. In the Mormon heaven if you aren’t Mormon, don’t have kids, aren’t married (in the temple) you still go to heaven but a LESSER heaven. A heaven that Jesus and God don’t live in. A heaven where you spend eternity not as good as those who were Mormon on earth. Where you’re separated from your family and friends. Sounds like hell to me.

Don’t let them fool you with their “all inclusive heaven” delusion.

[mermaidpiratevampire]

Do you spend tearful hours listening to Tyler Glenn or Mindy Gledhill or Brendon Urie to cope with your deep and complex religious trauma or are you normal

[godsporncollection]

I've been getting a lot of new followers lately, so I just wanted to take a moment to say, to the new and old followers, hi. And I'm sorry you're here.

I'm sorry that you're in this place; whether it's physical, mental, spiritual, a combination, or all of those situations that make us reach out to total strangers for comfort.

I know a lot of you are trapped. Either literally- with your religious families in quarantine, or mentally- with the feeling that you are undesirable, unloved, and less than.

I'm sorry that it looks like the second coming just when you realized that that isn't real. Maybe you think this is a sign or a punishment. It isn't. It's just what's happening.

As I've said before- I don't really have a lot of advice for getting through this. I wasn't quarantined with my family in my teens. I was lucky; I got away with just the generalized trauma of growing up in a controlling and sexist cult.

All I can really do is let you know that I'm here. I see you. If you feel like nobody in the world cares about you, I do.

A Dreaming Threat

One day at church in relief society we were talking about our dreams. Since I attended Singles Ward, many people raised their hand stating that their dream was to be married in the temple and be a mom. What concerned me however was when the person giving the lesson asked what we dreamed about besides being a mom and wife. “I want to learn how to sew,” one answered, “I want to learn how to garden,” said another. “I dream about going to the temple more,” which afterwards someone chimed, “Yes to that, but I also dream of reading the scriptures more.” I’m not about to insult those who garden and sew. Those hobbies and talents are amazing. However, what was concerning was that these answers along with the others they gave were all things that the church said that women should dream about. Hobbies and goals the church told women that they should do. No one seemed to chime in with anything other than what could be read from the prophets. So I chimed in. I raised my hand and answered. “I wish to graduate from college with a communications degree. I dream about being an animator and working for myself.” Half of these women gave the reaction I suspected. Instead of praising this like they did with the others, they just looked at me in shock. What I didn’t expect however was the other half of the women. They looked at me with anger. As a threat. They looked at me like I had just declared myself as an exmormon, for I had said I dreamed of something that the church hadn’t written I was supposed to dream about. Two women however, looked at me with envy in their eyes. True envy that I would allow myself to pursue this dream anyways. Their envy was quickly shaken as they looked away and back to the teacher. After an awkward pause, someone chimed in that they dreamed of being the best visiting teaching person ever, and they were right on track. After church, no one spoke to me. I wasn’t sure what they were thinking as I quickly left. What I did know however was that the church had a strong hold on their hearts. That I was a threat to their standards. And what I did know, is that I would never let them influence my dreams and passions. That I would fight on anyways. For I am a dreaming and passionate Exmormon.

As a young Mormon girl, I made many lists of what I wanted my future spouse to be like. Still, I could never picture myself as a happily righteous Mormon wife…it felt like I would be a cat always trying to pass as a dog. Even after I left the church, marriage still felt like a trap. But then I came out, and then I met a certain broad. She was funny, and smart, and passionate, and loyal, and all the things I’d put on my lists (except a return missionary 😂). And suddenly marriage seemed less like an impossible role to fill and more like an exciting partnership. This is the image I painted to put on our wedding invites, which we just sent out. It’s a few of the decorations we collected for the “1960s lesbian book nerds go camping” theme, put together from our love of reading and a nostalgia for our working class Rocky Mountain backgrounds. Wedding planning is so different from what I expected. Then again, so is pretty much my entire life. It’s nice to feel like I’m no longer playing a role, but putting together a life that feels authentic.
