People Protect A Woman Who Is Burning Her Scarf

some westerners will be calling christianity a colonizer religion and it’s treatment of non believers,women,queer folks,and poc while making excuses towards islam

Socializing with non-apostates is odd. Like they're just chilling and meanwhile your internal monologue is like

I need to tell you immediately it'll never come up please ask more questions it doesn't matter you think I'm a freak you don't even care I need you to understand it's impossible to explain I was raised in a cult I'm literally so normal.

No tags because what the actual fuck?

Just saw another "if you hurt people because of your faith you don't really have any faith" post, and wanted to point out once again that this weird thing we do where we pretend that "real" religion is incapable of doing harm isn't doing us any favors. Of course people with "real" faith can hurt people! Christians beat their queer kids because they have real faith that being queer gets you tortured forever after you die, and that beating kids is a 100% god-approved activity! India's beef vigilantes kill their Muslim neighbors because they have real faith that cows are sacred animals that shouldn't be killed!

Stop this No True Scotsman shit! All it does is cede the moral high ground in every situation to religious belief, automatically agreeing that religion makes you a better person, and anything that makes you a worse person can't be religion.

You cannot demonstrate any claim by referring to the claim. It’s nonsense. 

thinking about it, part of the reason the "you were never a christian" accusation hurts is because of how much i wish it was true

Kids who were called "one of the most deep spiritual thinkers I've seen" by their pastors are all apostates now
