I’m an atheist. I despise evangelical christians. That said, if more christians were like this guy, I imagine there would be a lot less misery in the world.

“To many Christians their immense privilege seems invisible. They don’t understand how much of our society panders to their unspoken power. The churches on every corner, the holidays and celebrations structured around Christian dates, the pandering of politicians, the ceremonial deism that acts as a placeholder for state-sponsored religion. Even our vernacular is colored by Christianity: “God bless you,” “we’ll pray for you,” “I’m in heaven,” or even “go to hell.” Yet despite this, many Christians, particularly conservative Christians, have a major investment in seeing themselves as part of a persecuted minority. This was reinforced for me in the comments section of a recent post at the journalism commentary site Get Religion. There, I was informed that Michele Bachmann was part of a religious minority, and that due to mainstream media criticism “one has to speculate that perhaps Christians are a small minority in the United States.” Where does this inaccurate perspective come from? How can a group see itself as a minority when it holds so much power?”

theology student here with a friendly reminder that there is no scriptural basis for demanding that people with a uterus reproductive systems capable of bearing children use their bodies as baby incubating chambers at the risk of their own lives. God asked mary’s permission before her pregnancy. mary chose to be pregnant with christ. the most divine act of grace is allowing someone their bodily autonomy. 

your religion is not an excuse to not support reproductive rights. you are a bigot.

does every other young adult lesbian or bisexual or whatever have a little memorial somewhere in their hearts to all the girls they loved (or almost loved or almost almost loved) when they were too young and repressed and afraid to do anything about it, a shrine to all the puppy loves and summer romances and first kisses they might have shared if it hadn’t been for the shame, the doubt, the self-hatred, the fear, a monument to all that could have been if they’d have had the courage or simply lived in another time and place where they could have tried, where they could have loved and been loved, or am i just uniquely nostalgic and lonely on this thursday night

Saint Peter smiled at the new arrival. “My favorite type of soul to welcome into heaven? Without a doubt, the downtrodden, saddened souls who were led to believe they were going to hell.”

How many mass graves and extinct cultures are needed to convince Christian apologists that missionaries and missionizing are inherently xenophobic?

The answer is apparently always, "At least one more."

[the-library-alcove]

It just like... look. If your religion has an explicit instruction of belief that it needs to take every other religion out there in the world, wipe them out, and replace them with itself, that religion is xenophobic. And the people who engage in the fulfillment of that process are xenophobic. It might not be as explicitly nasty a xenophobia as ethnic genocide, but it's still an instruction to commit cultural genocide.
