Mixed Feelings

-

The stage I am currently at I am having some mixed feelings about Christians out in the world. 

In my woke state I fluctuate between being unaffected by the idea of people believing anything they want to believe and absolutely irate over watching Christians use their beliefs to bully people. Like, I am okay with the notion of people believing in Yahweh or Odin or Faeries or whatever they want. But I am NOT okay with people trying to use their theology to belittle others. It's disgusting and it makes me want to scream in their faces that their Gods are fake and they're complete imbeciles. I don't do it. But I want to.

Somehow I have been able to come to realizations and have epiphanies many people need the help of psychedelic drugs or deep meditation to have. I have a completely different perspective when it comes to reality and life and death and the idea of what is important and real and what is not. 

None of this stuff Christians think is so important, actually is. It's literally all just made up. It was all made up by humans! Christianity is only as prevalent as it is, because of forced colonization and genocide, when you take a non-biased look at history. What you believe has everything to do with where you were born.

Most of the issues the Christian religion takes stock in aren't even theological. Most are political. Many aren't Biblical at all! Not that something being in the Bible or not, means shit. It really doesn't.

It's pride month so there's a lot of negativity being thrown at the LGBTQ community by the religious right. They feel so self important. Talking about how they're called as Christians to call out satanic/sinful behavior. Sin is a human construct. Satan isn't real.

The thing is, most people don't actually read their Bible, aside from some excerpts their pastor directs them to without proper context. Most people don't read nor do they understand the Bible. They believe what they do because it's what they were taught to believe. That does not make it correct.  

I keep going back and forth between live and let live and wanting to scream at people about how brainwashed they are. So, that's now my day is going.

Atheist is a Scary Word

-
Scary to Admit Part of the reason why it took so long for me to accept my true beliefs is that I was legitimately afraid. It was too scary to go there. I had been taught awful things happen to anyone who questions. I was taught it was dangerous to look into other beliefs. Things like yoga and meditation were un-christian and an invitation to let evil into your life. Condoning things like homosexuality meant I didn't care enough about that gay person to stop them from sinning and my complacency was condemning them to an eternity in hell. Was curiosity and tolerance worth eternal hellfire?  I'll admit, I was afraid of my thoughts and questions, for a really long time! I had been taught that denying God was going to mean some REALLY bad things for me including inviting evil into my life up to and including spending eternity in hell. Not to mention, women who questioned these things long ago were called witches and burned at the stake! People did not mess around with alternative th...

More Things That Bother Me About Sky Daddy

-
Here are some other issues I take with the church’s sky daddy and followers: Praise and worship out of fear of what might happen if you don’t. Seems like non-believers that know how to serve others and do good to help the world are more holy than believers who do it because they feel obligated or to attempt to secure themselves a better spot in the afterlife. The atheist just helps to help, without expecting anything in return. Moral superiority and virtue signaling. Playing the victim. Claiming to be victims of discrimination over things like a fabricated war on Chistmas or marriage or whatever.  Tax free money. Tax the church. Not doing so is absurd at this point. There are “teachers of the Bible” who are obscenely wealthy. Tricking the poor and elderly out of their money.  Good deeds with an agenda. Assuming people must live under the fear of eternal damnation to be able to have a concept of right and wrong. The most empathetic people I see and know in the world do not iden...

Yes, Master

-
Early this morning my husband rolled over and he said, "You are the prettiest and nicest girl in the whole world."  I said thank you.  He said, "It's true." I said, "Even the nice part?"  He said yes. Followed by, "Nobody wants someone who just says yes, master to everything. Well, except on the weekends."  I chuckled.  I have been challenging him a lot in the last year. He and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum on some topics and we don't always communicate effectively or understand one another very well. I used to be more of a yes, master, wife. I rarely challenged him or disagreed.  He has made some comments in the last couple of years about how little we have in common. I am such a chameleon, he rarely knows what's going on in my head or how to keep up with me. There have been times lately when I have wondered if he ever felt like we were too different or I had changed too much and wasn't who he fell in love with, anymore....
