@crazy-girl-l
freedom of speech doesn’t protect you from the social repercussion of your words, remember that next time you try using that as a justification to spew hate.
hope you like living in your totalitarian world
god forbid you live in a world where your words have consequences
Arrrggg
I am 110% done with today and it's not even 10.30am yet...
A Racist pastor is not of God
A Sexist pastor is not of God
A Homophobic pastor is not of God
A Transphobic pastor is not of God
It’s 2014 going on 2015 and people still don’t realize that hating a group of people simply because they exist is not something a person of God would do
FUCKING THANK YOU!!!
Hate of any kind is not of God. “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” That’s 1 John 4:7-8. The bible. Not a pastors rant and twisted perspective. This is it.

So much more.
I needed this reminder.
I’ve survived a lot of things, and I’ll probably survive this.
I repost this every time it comes up on my dash. Because I need this reminder several times a day. (via missinyouiskillingme)
Hi Frogman! Hope you are well! I know you have overwhelming number of people bugging you, so I try not too, but today you said something that did not completely shed light on the subject. On the subject of Abstinence, you quoted exodus, but then completely ignored the book of Matthew, where it states to lust after someone in your heart is a sin, not a scare tactic, but actually teaching people how to be generally a good person. You can't just pick and choose scripture. No more space left to type
I don’t believe sexual attraction should be considered a sin and I don’t think people who lust are bad people. So I’m not sure the book of Matthew is very relevant here.
I quoted religious texts for two reasons.
First, I wanted to expose the hypocrisy of conservative folks who wrote in (and they did) to tell me I can’t cherry pick passages from the bible and that the old testament doesn’t count.
To them I say, I’ll stop when you stop. No more Leviticus for you. Good luck in your next debate on gay marriage.
The second reason is that I truly believe it is important to know where religious abstinence came from. It really does not seem like it was derived from a benevolent God. And I think a lot of modern Christians see that as well.
A long, long time ago… if men had a daughter, they would get totally bummed out. So a bunch of old guys with daughters got together and decided that if men wanted wives, they would have to pay for them. They decided to sell their daughters into marriage to make up for not getting a son.
Then another problem arose. Their daughters were doing the deed before they were sold into marriage. Women who were not virgins were not desirable in these transactions. So they said, “God says if you do the deed before marriage, you’ll go to hell and stuff.”
Religious abstinence was born.
But people are people and sex still happened. So these men decided to put in an insurance policy.
“If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall give the bride-price for her and make her his wife”
Exodus 22:16
You bang it, you buy it.
Ugh.
You want to skip over this stuff and pretend it is not in there? I think it is important to look at our past. Too see that maybe the idea of abstinence wasn’t born out of morality and purity. That maybe the idea of virginity being special was fabricated because some farmer could get a few extra goats for his daughter.
The option to not have sex is taught in every proper sex ed course. It isn’t excluded. The teachers aren’t telling kids to go out and fornicate immediately. They strongly emphasize that you should wait until you are physically and emotionally prepared. That you should not feel pressured to do anything you are not ready for. And if you do feel ready, they also give you the knowledge you need to do it safely and with consent.
Religious abstinence programs shame kids for having “lust.” They use dubious statistics about all the horrors premarital sex can cause. They lie about the effectiveness of contraception. And all of their teaching stems from a 5,000 year old passage that was written so old men could get more goats for their daughters.
And there is also that small matter of these programs not even being effective and just causing kids to have unprotected sex.
Do you want to know what’s a strange feeling? Having a platonic crush on someone. You go through all the same crap as with a romantic crush, trying to impress them, not wanting to seem over eager, wanting to talk to them all the time. The only difference is, instead of wanting to kiss them until they can’t breathe, you want to rent all of the movies with them and have a sleep over. It’s rather disconcerting.
Spending a couple of hours reading threw page after page of a friends blog because you’re thinking about them and you miss them, and then having the realization that all you have really accomplished is making your self late to bed and therefor extra tired tomorrow for when you are actually going to be able to see said friend...
Some times I do stupid things. This right here is one of those times -__-.
Slap me in the face with this at least once a day
My mum recently got engaged. Two of my friends have got engaged. Two of the young people I work with have just got engaged to each other. A work colleague and a friend are expecting babies in the next few months... I'm happy for all of them, so so happy that they are happy. But if I'm honest, for the first time in my life it's making me feel like I'm missing out by being single, that at 25 I should be further along in my life like everyone else around me appears to be. :/ Not loving this feeling at all.
please friendzone me. I want to be your friend so badly
You will fall in love with your friends. Deep, passionate love. You will create a second family with them, a kind of tribe that makes you feel less vulnerable. Sometimes our families can’t love us all the time. Sometimes we’re born into families who don’t know how to love us properly. They do as much as they can but the rest is up to our friends. They can love you all the time, without judgement. At least the good ones can.
