Anyone else having a crisis because it took them upwards of 5 years to really understand how truly hard Christianity is because they accepted the i-love-and-affirm-everyone version acceptable to most modern young people and not the centuries-old established rules and precepts but are just now questioning the major tenets of modern left-wing ideologies that have been their home for years and are realising that they could very easily lose all of their friends and even their family for doing so? because same and i would really love someone to talk to about it.

When you follow Jesus Christ you will know longer be the same old person you used to be.

Christianity isn’t about being cool. It isn’t about being comfortable. It isn’t about simply staying out of Hell. It isn’t about being a good person. It isn’t about the world liking you (just the opposite in fact, the world will hate you for following Christ). Christianity is about pursuing God, putting yourself aside, reaching out to others with the Gospel, doing what’s right just because it’s right and honors God no matter what resistance you face. It’s about bringing honor and glory to Him.

Reblog if you:

• Believe men should be forced to help support their offspring

• believe unwed/teen pregnant women / moms should have support and respect

• believe the foster care system is flawed severely flawed and needs change

• believe breastfeeding rooms should be just as common in public areas as restrooms.

• believe that abortion won’t solve any of those issues but rather allows them to be swept under the rug and forgotten

Here's my hot take today inspired by a conversation I had with Honeybee:

Any Catholics out there using Church teaching to justify prejudice of any kind, but in this case specifically, against our brothers and sisters in the LGBT communities need to check their hearts. Like making such a big fuss about gay marriage but staying silent on domestic violence, birth control use in marriage, sterilization, and cohabitation??? Cohabitation and gay marriage is the exact same sin. It has little to do with sexuality and more to do with the sanctity of marriage and the dignity of our bodies.

All criticism should be founded first and foremost out of love. If you have no love for your neighbor, then you need to attend to the log in your own eye first. I believe in what the Church says on same sex marriages, but let's remember what the actual sin is, and that we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves

PSA:

If you’re “personally pro-life” but “pro-choice for others”

You’re actually pro-choice

Pro-life means you believe babies shouldn’t be killed in their mothers’ wombs

Regardless of whether it’s your baby or someone else’s

Nobody would say “I’m against child abuse for my own children, but I’m pro-choice on child abuse for other families.”

Abortion is the ultimate child abuse. Abortion literally dismembers a child in their mother’s womb, which should be the safest place for that child.

Be consistent. Either it’s okay to dismember children, or it isn’t. Pick one.

turkey and azerbaijan are attacking armenia right now, and it's 1915 all over again because the world is distracted and people are too busy wondering if they're gonna live or die, and who gives a shit about my country anyway? my mum told me to tell my friends and explain to them what's happening and that we are the victims in this war because azerbaijan is spreading lies and people are believing their lies and i told her, what good is that going to do? do you think anyone's going to come to our aid? is russia going to help us? is america? is england? erdogan said they will finish what their ancestors started, and he means genocide. he means ethnic cleansing. he means to massacre every last one of us. and in doing so admitted to the very same thing turkey has spent 105 years denying. i don't know who to tell and what good telling people will do because we're a small, insignificant country, and we have nothing to offer to the people in power, the handful who rule the world. so i sit here with my pain and i feel helpless. i know there's twitter threads and links to petitions and people being urged to contact their senators, and sorry if im being pessimistic, but azerbaijan has been attacking us for the last 22 years, and though we defend ourselves, we can't do anything to stop them. they've violated ceasefires (and geneva conventions) multiple times. i don't think they'll rest until every last one of us is dead.

we just want peace. we just want to live peacefully. we're not asking for a lot here.
