Mormonism is way more entertaining in video essays and reality tv shows, in real life it’s like spending fifteen - twenty hours a week listening to long boring lectures that you find out were psychological abuse years later

(I got ambushed yesterday at the dog park by a woman who was giving out Christian literature, so I did some art with it. Genuinely that woman could have had no way of knowing what she did for me)

So Jesus died for our sins--cool and all happy for him--but is anyone concerned over the fact that he came back to life 3 days later?

Like is that NOT a take back? I'm just saying that's a take back. I'm saying that's a whole returned to store with receipt in hand deal. That's a refund to the original method of payment. JC returned our sins back to Walmart and walked out of there swaggy in his sandals and no one noticed.

Judas and the other three Beatles should have been POSTED UP outside Jesus's casket with like, extra crucifixes, more nails, some kinda suspension system, ready to pinata that man back up at the first sign of a wiggled toe. Instead they fucked it and JC gave us the slip and now our sins are spilled all the fuck back over everything like an unmanageable armful of limes.

I don't like the way "religious psychosis" is being thrown around.

religious psychosis is not:

being evangelical and attempting to inflict your religion on others

being particularly devoted to a religion

having bigoted beliefs because of religion

allowing religious beliefs to inform your world view

being religious (in general)

religious psychosis is:

an example of psychosis that is intertwined with religion

often detached from prior religious beliefs, or is an extreme version of prior religious beliefs

often something that includes hallucinations alongside the delusions that people talk about

debilitating and often frightening.

consuming and obsessive

usually caused by another condition

you can talk about bigoted religious beliefs without pathologizing bigoted behavior. odds are that christian nationalist doesn't have religious psychosis- they're just a fascist. pathologizing fascist and bigoted behavior just gives a free pass to the people doing it. acknowledge that fascists are making these choices of their own free will and have every ability to stop making those choices at any time- they just don't want to.

"Be in the world but not of the world" fuck that I am in the world and I LOVE the world.

Thinking about how people used to ask me why I was so mad all the time and it was because my resting pose was folding my arms. Like prayer. And when I would explain this to non-members they would be SO CONFUSED because nobody else prays like that. Does anyone know where the Mormon praying pose comes from?

[robyn-starre]

this isn’t the normal prayer pose???

[pimocurious]

Nope! Crazy, right?

A mildly disrespectful religious joke my mother told me

Moses and Jesus are hanging out together on the beach. Moses gets up, stretches out his arms, and says "I wonder if I can still do this?" Lo and behold, the water parts!

"Nice!" says Jesus. "Now let me see if I can still do my thing!" But when he tries to walk on the water, he sinks to his knees.

"That's weird," he says. "I wonder why I can't do it anymore?"

"Dummy," says Moses, rolling his eyes. "You have holes in your feet!"

This work is about the joy and freedom that come with deconverting from an oppressive religion. I hope you enjoy!

Debates about belief/religion are not welcome. If you disagree, just keep scrolling :)

A lot of people are hate the idea of life not having a specific purpose but after growing up Mormon it’s the most peaceful idea I can think of.

No heavenly body watching your every move, no begging for forgiveness over loving the wrong person, no crushing weight on your shoulders for not being and looking perfect at every turn.

A quiet life of loving whoever you want, not worrying about whatever shame a random man decides you need, the bad things that happen are just bad things and not punishment for the things that happened to you as a child. spending time in nature knowing you get to dissolve into the dirt one day and not be terrified of what comes next.

How wonderful is it to get to pick your purpose and mine is to live.
