And that it’s your god.
When I was little, my dad was always very openly racist and homophobic.
So one day it pissed me off so badly that I told him when I grew up, I was going to marry a black woman.
He beat the shit outa me and threatened to disown me. He was just a horrible man.
But, isn't that kinda what God is doing, threatening to disown his own children...for loving someone?
religion is so complicated because on on hand yeah i think i believe in God but i don't know if that's because i've been told to believe in Him for so long but i think He's real?? but on the other hand life would so SO much simpler if He wasn't except that feels mean 2 say
Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind those which are caused by a difference of sentiment in Religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing and ought most to be deprecated.
George Washington, letter to Edward Newenham, October 20, 1792
I don’t do what others do. I don’t follow what others follow.
And no, Miss Thing, I am NOT going to name my pantheon’s “real names” off for you, just because you think it’s “unfair of me” to hide them. People can find them the same damn way I did, or not at all. The latin-mish words I use for public consumption have enough of their essence that you could figure it out if you tried... if you can’t, then they are not for you. Pick someone or some THING else.
I am slowly crawling through the mud, the grime, and the filth of my past towards my goal. Onwards ever onwards.

My dad is religious and I was just telling a story about how I freaked my boyfriend out by stopping breathing in my sleep. My dad was all like 'you sleep in the same room at his house???' And I said yes, he was surprised as we've never been able to do that here ('his house, his rules') and he said 'well that doesn't happen here' and I just couldn't be arsed hiding my disdain anymore and snapped "that's because you're an idiot", oops...
