BYF: READ DNI OR GET BLOCKED

PINNED POST. Religious trauma and deconversion blog. Exchristian.

[joanburned]

DNI with exchristian/christianity-themed posts:

• Non-questioning theists of organized religion

• Anyone looking to proselytize or 'debate'

• Atheists who were never religious

• Blogs with gory themes, 'hail satan do meth' type stuff, dedicated to self harm, or exclusively hardcore porn

• racists, r/adfems, pedos, covid deniers, all antisemites, pro-ana, ableists, blank blogs, right-wingers get blocked on sight

WHY THE FIRST 3 DNI?

To avoid derailment, harassment, and having my experiences treated like a spectacle to gawk at.

• "So you hate me for being in an organized religion?" No, this particular blog just isn't for you.

I am aware many people won't check a DNI/pinned post and won't care. This is just here for those that do. I have no issue with simply blocking people but this DNI has proven very effective.

BEFORE YOU REPLY TO MY POSTS:

• Any criticisms I have of old testament stories are specifically about that--the christian old testament--not the jewish texts they mutilated, as I have no experience with those. The translations differ, some lines are completely removed/added/changed, and the way they are taught is often different.

• If you want to add commentary on how something is taught better in your religion, don't. Even if your interpretation or understanding is better, it isn't relevant to the point of my post so please be respectful and make your own.

• The reason I post so much negative stuff about christianity is that I had a negative experience with christianity. Don't go "but what about islam" or whatever tf here. I'm not the person to talk to.

ABOUT ME:

adult | she/her | disabled/chronically ill

• I was raised in various evangelical denominations, lastly with faith-healing and prosperity gospel teachings.

• I'm an atheist but I like dystheist jokes.

• I know I can seem like a very angry person but that's because this is my Angry Space. Please understand 💔

• I will answer asks privately if you request I do so but they'll otherwise be public.

• My stuff is tagged #idlejoan

do you think the catholic church effectively utilized wokeness by funneling money into the colonization and rape of the americas after issuing the doctrine of discovery which effectively legalized the subjugation of indigenous peoples?

Being an ex Christian is weird

I dont believe in that stuff anymore but I just have this random biblical knowledge sitting in my head taking up space

What would Jesus think of your actions

If Jesus wants to rise again he's gonna have to get through me first

why ppl leave things in jesus hands knowing he got holes in them, is beyond me

They’ve been rebuilding the Tower of Babel, but this time they have a team of linguists on site. Every time God smites the builders and invents a dozen new languages, the linguists have a dozen decently sized translations in about a month and work can start up again.

The linguists have been really into it. They say the new phonemes are fascinating. As for God, I assume that at this point he’s just curious to see how far this goes.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

To keep us on out toes, God gives the next group of builders an extra place of articulation called the flongus between the pharynx and the glottis, creating an entire new column of the IPA chart with sounds between sounds that are literally physiologically impossible for non-flongled people to replicate.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

Improved symbols for the flongal plosives ("gacks"), flongal trill ("hacks"), flongal fricatives ("groans"), and and the flongal lateral approximant ("moans")

[inthefallofasparrow]

Update: The builders have now simply switched to communicating entirely through a universal sign language like they should've done to start with. No sounds need be spoken, flongal or otherwise. The Tower steadily rises. Be seeing you soon, God, you little bitch.

[koth-harvest-final]

update: the builders are all speaking different sign languages now

Everyone keep sending your attacks. She can't protect him forever

this bitch is literally crazy… she used to be a fitness influencer and scammed hundreds of women with alleged personalized fitness and diet coaching and she got sued by the state of texas and i believe settled for like 250,000 dollars. she then pivoted hard to conservative evangelical christian influencing. her husband is actually her second husband and he was fired from the kansas city police department for excessive use of force and when their family dog got hit by a car he whipped out his gun and shot it instead of taking it to a vet. they also forcibly exploited an unhoused man and sent him to a christian rehab… AND she holds religious retreats for roughly 700 dollars where her husband shows up despite the fact the events are described as being “women only spaces” and they baptize people in a horse trough…

Also for anyone that didn’t grow up in a fundamentalist Christian space, “husband is under spiritual attack” is usually code for having an affair/watching porn/is gay
