It may have taken me a month to get around to finishing this but here's the second page to this comic! This dives a little more into my reasons for leaving christianity, so be nice in the reblogs/comments. I'm not afraid to use the block button

i’ve read so much tradcath bullshit the last two years. i can confidently say tradcath men fit into one of two categories:

“protestant-raised and converted to catholicism because of his crippling porn addiction and racist tendencies. reposts crusader and conquistador memes. is hated in his local parish.” tradcath

“catholic-raised band kid who ate his lunches with the religion teacher. smells like mildew. cut off all his friends that came out as gay after high school. now larps as an aquinian scholar and cries after jerking off.” tradcath

Deconstruction flag/ Apostasy flag

(completely free to use and distribute, no credit needed)

Symbolism:

- Black: trauma and rupture

- Grey: uncertainty and letting go of black and white thinking

- White: hope, openness, and kindness

- Turquoise: exploration and movement

- Orange: joy, self-acceptance, solidarity and community

- Red dot on white: accepting one's own impurity, sexual positivity

- The sun: life and new beginnings

- Tapir: ex-mormons (per request)

- Bird: freedom/liberation, moving into light

This flag is meant for anyone who has deconstructed from a religion or spirituality. This includes anyone who used to be in one religion, but is now atheist or agnostic, or reconverted to a different religion or spirituality, or renounced a large part of their own religion or spirituality while still hanging onto other parts.

Apostates are often heavily ostracized and persecuted. In some places renouncing your religion can be punishable by torture and death. Many people who deconstruct experience being disowned, violated, and put into religious therapies and programs.

Even when you are safe, leaving your religion can be an extremely lonely experience.

This flag is meant to be used by apostates and deconstructing people to cheer themselves up and feel pride, while also signaling support and solidarity towards others with similar experiences. This flag is meant to unify all apostates and deconstructing people through their experience.

If you live in a place where identifying as an apostate/ex-religious openly might put you in danger, please prioritize your safety and anonymity!!!

Narrated `Ikrima: Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to `Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn `Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'"

https://quranx.com/Hadith/Nasai/DarusSalam/Volume-5/Book-37/Hadith-4064

Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Whoever changes his religion, kill him.'"
