former cougar, current milf

there are infinite contradictions inside everyone, who am I to judge the intersection of them all

[what-even-is-thiss]

You're religious? You're like so chill and not homophobic and believe sex workers deserve human rights

Considering that there are literally billions of religious people on the planet yes, some of us are progressives. Jesus says to share what you have and be kind to your neighbors so idk why I wouldn’t support human rights.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The thing about chill religious people is that we are chill and kinda quiet so unfortunately the unchill loud kinds get all of the airtime.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’m not gonna try to convert you to my way of thinking but I will explain that spirituality is a fundamental part of the human experience and the universe is never going to be fully explained. On top of that community and culture are often connected very closely to religion.

Choosing to admit that you are a being of spirituality and you will never fully understand everything about how the universe works and connecting with a community and culture that fills those needs for you is a perfectly rational decision to make.

Yes I literally believe in the existance of a singular God. Yes I also fully believe in science. This is not a contradiction. I’ll never know for sure if I’m right about how the universe works but I don’t care. What I get out of my faith is incredibly important to me whether I’m correct or not.

I also don’t really care if you agree with me or not. I know what I’m about and I’m not one to try and convert people but I’m also not interested in hiding such a fundamental part of who I am. My queerness, my love for modern science, my love for life, are all linked deeply to my faith and I have no interest in trying to hide that even if I am a bit quiet with it at times.

AMEN! I'm also a Christian, and I'm reaching into more woke circles because I realized that so many of you believe in objectively good things, and it would be a shame to shun you just because a bunch of conservatives called you evil when I was eight years old.

To be clear, I don't understand how to reconcile transgender thinking with the Bible, but you're still a human being, and I can absolutely love you for who you are because of that. Christians are supposed to be the least bigoted folks around, so I do my best. I fail sometimes. I hope you can forgive me when that happens.

But yeah, Christians should take wokeness in stride, and it sucks that a lot don't.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’m a transgender Christian and God made my body in collaboration with my mother and myself. My mind is part of my body. My mind is that of a nonbinary man and I am happier and feel closer to God when I live as a man. It was rational for me to conclude therefore that denying my transness would be fighting against who God made me to be.

God made humans in his image. God is sometimes compared to a mother in the Bible as well as a father. So, God can be both a mother and a father. So, God himself can hold multiple genders, multiple truths. If we are made in his image, who’s to say we also can’t have that kind of layered and strange relationship to gender?

I don't like it when people refer to Joseph Smith as a "convicted conman." As far as I'm aware, being a "conman" isn't in itself something you can be convicted of. His charge was being "a disorderly person and an imposter" and accounts differ as to whether he was convicted. There were actually three separate "disorderly person" trials. As I said, accounts of the first differ as to whether he was convicted, convicted but allowed to escape, acquitted, or had the charges dismissed. In the two subsequent cases, he was acquitted.

I think my favorite depictions of Mary are the ones in which she’s laying into demons like nobody’s business

Like yes queen, kick his ass

As someone who is both trans and has a child, absolutely hilarious to me that society presents one of these as absolutely only to be done if you are 110% certain and have proved to several people that you want it bad enough and are ready, and the other is like. You might as well everyone else does. Just do it nobody feels ready. You don’t want to? Yes you do

Especially since one of those is pretty reversible if you change your mind after a couple years and the other one, well, technically but that’s pretty frowned upon

I’m LDS and considering that I may be queer. What do I do?

welcome!!!! I've found that the biggest problems for us queer LDS folk are feeling alone, and feeling suspended between our sexual identities and spiritual identities. you need the other members of the queer LDS community!

on tumblr, check out the tag #queerstake. especially check out the blogs @nerdygaymormon, @official-mormon-posts, @mormonculturememes, and @bookofmormonmemes - all prominent members of the queer LDS tumblr community.

irl, if you start wearing rainbow anything to church, like a pin or bracelet, you may find that people approach you to talk about queer family members or friends, and you can meet other queer folk and allies that way. you can also go on facebook and search for LGBTQ LDS groups in your state or province or wherever.

Queer LDS podcasts include Questions From The Closet, Listen Learn & Love, Latter Gay Stories, and Lift + Love.

For literature, I recommend Toward a Post-Heterosexual Mormon Theology, Queer Mormon Theology: An Introduction, The Book of Queer Mormon Joy, and We're Here, We're Queer: A Proclamation to the World.

again, welcome to queer mormon tumblr. make yourself at home 💖

piping hot, poorly thought out take. I don't think the LDS church uniquely protects child predators or sexual abusers. I think that men protect other men from the consequences of sexual violence. because they're cowards. and men frequently do not stand up for vulnerable people if it risks breaking the status quo. i don't think mormonism has a "built in" way of protecting predators. i just think men frequently suck

[go-forth-to-serve]

Fully agree. Patriarchy and white supremacy are the real issue, not necessarily Mormonism. The argument could be made that Mormonism is inherently patriarchal and racist, but that's also not unique to Mormonism and is found in pretty much every society and institution everywhere. There's not something uniquely evil on top of that about Mormons. It's just people and society. Still bad obviously, but it's not the Mormonism making it worse.

[brothermouse]

there are mormons on tumblr??? ngl i thought you guys were fake and made up by tiktok mommy influencers bc ive never seen a mormon outside of that context

I say this as someone who was born and raised in the Utah Mormon bubble: y'all are way too sheltered, you need to get out more, live a little, experience the world, touch some grass, maybe.
