#sin leveling

[findingmyowntruth]

Sin leveling (arguments are as bad as stealing is as bad as murder) is the root cause of that terrible fear that comes with making little mistakes that dont actually matter.

It's like social anxiety but slightly to the left.

It's like the 'catholic guilt' I hear about except what I'm guilty of is locking myself in the T-rex cage at feeding time. Technically I am guilty of doing that but there are more frightening issues to handle first.

i got through 21 years without directly experiencing religious abuse and now my school is really kinda making up for lost time haha this is fine

(last anon cont) chilling in my literature seminar, learning about how questioning authority is a crime as bad as murder 🙃

Honestly kudos to you avoiding it that long (not that that’s something you can actively control as a kid but you get my point), take care bro

Really though, feel free to mock it and make it into an internal comedy sketch, or listen to clown music in your mind or headphones if you can sneak them in, or come up with a playlist with countering messages (and just some feel good songs to help you feel better), or just very heavily lean into the sarcasm when answering questions or doing quizzes, that shit sucks and I hope you get through it alright 💜

Actual, 100% real quote from my parents’ Bible study:

“Yeah and I was talking to this coworker and he was doing that human thing of saying that one sin is better or worse than another, like saying murder is definitely worse than not brushing your teeth”

Like I’m sorry what—
