Please pray for my father D who committed sexual abuse against me and my mother.

Pray for his salvation.

I want this spread far and wide. It is my dream that the whole world would pray for this intention.

some people will be like "ah yes, purity culture comes from the puritans, which were fanatic Christians, so purity culture comes from christian doctrine, and the two are basically synonymous", and then unknowingly praise Christians for expression the counter-christian ideas of... grace and forgiveness and not needing to be perfect.

alright people throw the term around a lot but what I've generally seen people to mean by "purity culture" is:

the belief that sex dirties you (even if you're married, it's just considered okay to be impure then)

therefore anything to do with sexuality should be hidden or avoided

something that is dirtied or damaged cannot be fixed again

an implicit or explicit understanding that pure things are more valuable than impure things

therefore the highest priority is maintaining purity. if you fail, boo hoo.

and this attitude is present in a lot of christian communities, but it's still wrong.

christian doctrine is:

sex is good and sacred, reserved to a man and woman in marriage.

it should be concealed to express it's sacredness, not dirtiness (this is open to cultural variation.)

redemption, salvation, forgiveness, etc. God makes things that were once bad, dirty, and broken into things that are good, pure, and whole.

human beings, from the most virtuous to the most evil, are unconditionally loved by God and more valuable than anything else on earth

the highest priority is having a good and close relationship with God

I also see people trying to counter it with what I'll call "impurity culture"

sex is dirty, but that just makes it edgy, interesting, and cool. any restrictions and standards are for squares

things that are pure should be dirtied and the dirt flaunted everywhere in celebration

something that is dirtied cannot be made pure again

dirty flawed things are superior to pure things, which are basic and boring and need to be transcended

the highest priority is deviating from purity, which is where you get your uniqueness and therefore your value from

"The devil always sends errors into the world in pairs--pairs of opposites…He relies on your extra dislike of one to draw you gradually into the opposite one. But do not let us be fooled. We have to keep our eyes on the goal and go straight through between both errors. We have no other concern than that with either of them.”

-- C.S. Lewis

I'm gonna be real. Who cares if you're mid or ugly. Any decent lover will not care about that. In fact they will fall for you based on your personality and then naturally become attracted to your appearance. That happens all the time. You're okay. You're fine.

I try not to judge too harshly, but reacting to a baby crying with "that's why I don't want kids" is, to use the tiktok vocabulary, such a huge ick.

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.
