Happy Pride Month

Every time you catch yourself going, "Fuck, are humans just inherently evil and naturally inclined to selfishness and harm???" you HAVE to remember that that's literally a core ideal of Christianity.

So if it feels inescapable and like evidence of it is everywhere, whether at times or always, that might just because you're in a Western country where you're surrounded by Christians who believe that, fundamentally, in their worldview. And also they talk and make art about it all the time and run the vast majority of news outlets. And spent over a thousand years burning any art or texts that disagreed with them. Etc. etc.

If you're gonna come to as drastic and painful a conclusion as that, at least take the time first to make sure you're not working with biased evidence (surrounded by too many people and cultural products that believe original sin is real)

And if it turns out the feeling WAS partly the result of cultural Christianity, then hey, that's great news, because it means there's that much (and it really is SO MUCH) less evidence that humans inherently suck. Which is good, because we don't

you also have to remember that the ruling class has been using christianity as an ideological tool to justify themselves for more a millennium and a half. the broader term for this ideology is ‘veneer theory’, ie that ‘civilization’ is a thin veneer (the church, the state, etc) keeping us from giving in to our true, savage, nature. the idea that people are brutish selfish and cruel is a myth that is deeply baked into every aspect of western society. it is used to justify the state, the rich, police, wars, slavery, inequality, and just about every other cruelty you can imagine. but the evil you witness or perceive is a result of those systems, not a natural or inevitable state of affairs.

i dont even mean to be disrespectful by saying so but god is genuinely on the same level as santa claus or the easter bunny to me i cannot wrap my mind around how people wholeheartedly believe in it as adults

So I believe Santa is Odin now and as a child obsessed over pagan holidays and symbols without realizing that’s what they were.

I say this to explain how I believed in Santa till a very weirdly old age and then also came to believe in Santa as Odin as an adult full circle later.

Anyway there’s a journal entry somewhere from when I was ~12 disclosing my concerns that Santa, the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, and God Almighty may not be real — in that grouping.

I thought I was very edgy for this statement at the time.

Anyway I believe in Skygrandpa God, Fae, supernatural animals and Odin now. I hope little 12 year old me in that parallel dimension is all good. It was a rough angsty year.
