First Year
Havenât updated in a while but sort of trying to be active again. Hereâs a short documentary of my first year as a CFAD student, hahaha.
Someone with a social anxiety disorder will never get tired of hearing you say:
âIâm here for/with youâ âI like youâ âI love youâ âI value you as a personâ âYour opinions matter to meâ âIâll go with you if itâs too scaryâ âNo matter what your anxiety tells you Iâm not going anywhereâ âYour feelings are validâ
Especially when theyâre anxious Especially when theyâre anxious Especially when theyâre anxious
Even if youâve already said it. Say it again. And again. Please. Cause it may seem silly to someone without S.A.D., but itâs actually really reassuring to be reminded of having support even if we were just reminded last week, or last month, or yesterday. Itâs important. Really important. Cause the anxiety will often lead us to feel alone, unloved, like the person might go away if we share our feelings, even when we know itâs not true. Itâs a million times easier to be convinced by someone else than by our own anxious brains sometimes.
This has been a PSA.

Isnât it nice how people twist their religious scripture to suit their weds but when itâs used against them itâs suddenly not okay
I talked to a monk about this quote once (we have mutual friends, and he came to a New Yearâs Eve party at my shared art studio). He said this isnât even talking about homosexuality. That the bible never actually says homosexuality is wrong. What that passage means is this:
Women were treated as subservient and it that you shouldnât treat other men as subservient, like they are beneath you. It is not talking about homosexuality. If it was, it would say it outright since the bible lists other things outright.
I take the word of a monk who have studied the bible extensively more than a self proclaimed Christian.
The above text, I would like to point out is from the point of view of this translation of the original Hebrew. I spoke with my cousinâs rabbi on the matter and his response was different, saying that it was a mistranslation. See, the true translation says that a man shall not lie with another in the bed of a woman, which is to say, the Hebrews had a shit ton of rules about when a man was or was not allowed in a womanâs bed and private quarters (including, if she didnât want you there, you werenât allowed there. Hebrew women were also allowed to divorce their husbands and the image of the âoppressive Hebrew peopleâ is an image that was propogated by Christianity which, historically speaking, doesnât treat the Jewish people too well and liked to paint them as being rather barbaric and backwards and cultish with their traditions, which, another piece of fun info, their traditions were one of the main reasons why the Jewish people were less likely, in medieval times, to die of the plague. Because washing your hands and avoiding the dead and vermin and the like was a lot of help. Of course the Christians persecuted them for not dying but thatâs another matter. Iâm sidetracked). So the verse is literally saying âDonât fuck in some ladyâs bed because thatâs just goddamn rudeâ
Also, whenever a Christian brings the book of Leviticus up, you should feel free to point out that these are rules that were given to make the Hebrew people prepared for when the son of God came to earth. In Christianity, itâs believed the son of God was Jesus. So by following the rules set in Leviticus or pushing them as things we should follow, theyâre saying that Jesus was not the son of God, and that Jesus did not, in fact, die for our sins. Jewish people believe, in their faith, that the son of God hasnât yet been born, so many choose to follow these rules.
Most people of course roll their eyes when I explain the translation of the verse (full breakdown found here) but itâs always fun to point out the nature of the rules in Leviticus and the implications of following them.Â
Iâm a theology student and I am on the verge of crying because of how accurate this commentary is. Historical context is simultaneously the most interesting and most important part of interpreting any texts.Â
Most religious people seem to base their beliefs on things that are severely mistranslated. I wish they would do their research before using the bible for hate.
I studied theology extensively and was going to become a theologist until I switched majors. The above commentary is 100% accurate and what I try to stress in a lot if conversations with Bible Thumpers.
Jesus also affirms the homosexual relationship between the Roman Centurion and his âslaveâ. The particular Greek word used to refer to this special slave was âpaisâ. Greek language studies and contexts show that a âpaisâ was a male love slave. Regular slaves were called âdolosâ. The Centurion makes this distinction clearly when he asks Jesus to heal his slave (pais), and then to prove his status he tells Jesus that his slaves (dolos) go when he tells them to. But this slave (pais) was special. He was the Centurionâs lover.
Hearing this, Jesus was so amazed he says he had not found ANYONE ELSE who had such great faith. He then blesses the Centurion and heals his male lover.
Matthew 8:5-13
THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY TEACHES ABOUT SAME SEX COUPLES.
In short, the English adaptation is a mistranslated farce.
