Atheists thinking it's okay to disrespect Christianity (and other religions but mostly Christianity) just because they're Atheist
This is anti-religion.
Shoutout to all my chill atheists! 💘
I understand having church hurt but I'm going to say something that is a hot take but really shouldn't be: if you are traumatized by a religion, it is YOUR responsibility to process that trauma and overcome it so that you don't become a hateful, spiteful, bitter bitch.
And I'm saying that as somebody that had a bunch of church hurt and became a bitter bitch and now, 7 years of deconstruction and study of biblical theology later, have processed almost all of my religious trauma and now no longer consider myself traumatized by the church.
If your take on Christianity is "it oppresses minorities" then I'm going to assume that you haven't done any in depth study of Biblical theology beyond a surface level reading of the Bible in it's non-native language.
That's not to say that the Church hasn't committed atrocities. They absolutely have, as a pagan and an indigenous mixed person, I am ACUTELY aware of that. But what the Church has done, for centuries, is take religion and twist it into something it's not.
The Bible affirms women.
The Bible affirms queer people.
The Bible affirms BIPOC individuals.
The Bible affirms pagans and witches.
The Bible affirms poor folk and the abused.
Actually STUDY. Please I beg you, because true and honest, genuine Christianity is genuinely so fucking beautiful.
Sincerely,
A multifaith person that practices Gnosticism, folk Catholicism, and bridal mysticism.
