#sin tw

Unholy reminder that sin is not about morality, but obedience. The tyrant god wants obedient sheep, not moral ones.

They will tell you that morality comes from it, and thus obedience is moral. This is an obfuscation of the fact that it is obedience above all which their god demands.

✨I can’t believe I have to SAY THIS in the year of our lord 2020, but if you think homosexuality is a sin, congratulations — you’re a fucking homophobe✨

If you happen to fall into this category, please see yourself off my blog. Don’t bother arguing with me, just leave.

“Surely my sins have found me out

God rest my soul, but show me out

Surely my sins have found me out

Spit on my grave, but kiss my mouth,”

“Sin” is not “immorality” or “unethical behavior”: they are different things.

“Sin” is disobedience to a god or religious authority.

“Immorality” is disobedience to commonly held subjective principles.

“Unethical behavior” is action which goes against long-debated principles of conduct which are made in an attempt to craft a non-subjective principle of human behavior. Ethics is an evolving field of study meant to understand this.

Some “sins” are actually unethical / immoral behavior, such as cheating on your partner. Some “sins” have no active moral or ethical connection, such as having a partner of the same sex or rejecting a religious authority. Some “sins” are ethical / moral behavior, such as listening to other viewpoints and letting women teach and speak in public.

Many times, harmless or positive things, such as consent to sex within marriage (or types of sex within a marriage), are considered “sins” and thus needlessly punished or censured. Needless punishment is unethical behavior and immoral.

Even worse, many immoral and unethical things are not considered “sins” - such as genocide and slavery. What use is “sin”, then, if it does not provide a workable principle of conduct?

"Sin” is morally worthless and should have no bearing on one’s actions.I reject the very concept.

Christianity tw ( mentions of sin, God, Jesus ).

Also warning, this post is going to be harsh because i am unmasking in my ASPD and i have been irritable all day and this really fucking pushed it.

I just wanted to check my regressor blog to you know, vibe and regress. And i get this ask in my inbox.

Now, before i get too wound up. This is probably a scam or copypasta, something no one will actually care about. But on some off chance it isn't, i am going to go off.

First off, you cannot just go into someones inbox and try to convert them. This is just as bad as going door to door to do it.

Secondly, what about the religion i may or may not already have? I do not talk about religion online as i don't care and mind my own business.

Third, you cannot be preaching about Sin or honestly any religious text to random strangers on the internet because they might have religious trauma, schizophrenia, psychosis, and guess what asshole, i have all of those things. You're lucky i am in a grounded space at the moment or i could have tweaked the fuck out violently.

I will not be silent online when i have to be silent in real life. I don't care about your christian views or religion the more you push it onto me but just for oh so many more reasons that anyone with a brain cell can put two and two together.

I am a system with mixed beliefs. But i am not Christian and therefore i do not suffer from your pathetic "sins". If you think i am sinful so be it.

I will sin away, being queer and disabled and traumatized and in love and fat and trying to make my way in the world.

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 💜
