Sinful-skeptic - Minerva

Even if transgender people were all just delusional and mentally ill people who refused to accept scientific reality, they'd still deserve to be 100% accepted.

God isn't a scientific reality, but people who believe in God are accepted. They're even allowed to force their beliefs on children. Many even use their God as an excuse to hate. They frequently teach children that anyone who doesn't worship them goes to hell. Religious people are also regularly caught sexually abusing children.

Meanwhile, transgender people just want to exist and not be bullied for it. If you can accept religious people whose beliefs are much more farfetched, then you can easily accept transgender people. You're choosing not to.

i can’t believe this apparently needs to be said but y’all. cult jokes are not funny. things like calling yourself a cult leader, calling a friend group or a fandom a cult, joking about starting a cult, ARE NEVER FUNNY. jokes like these diminish the seriousness of cults and spit in the faces of actual survivors. the only time making cult-related jokes is okay is if you are a cult survivor joking about your own trauma.

it's really weird having a first dog be blind and then getting a second who can see...like how was I supposed to be prepared for this.

this creature can perceive when I put the treats up on the high shelf. or when I hide stuff behind my back. I can't fool her!! she's always watching me and she shouldn't have this much knowledge!!!

I walk around at night and I shine my flash light directly into her eyes and I'll just be standing there staring at her weird blue orbs for like 5 seconds until I realize it's probably extremely annoying to her, because she has eyes!! I'll turn on the light in the room and she gruffs and grumbles like ?? oh right!! light wakes you up!! the fuck??

In my personal experience, i’ve heard of women around me with undiagnosed disorders get called “possessed” and sent to priests and other religious figures, meanwhile men get the luxury of mental healthcare more often.

"No one cares about men's mental health" is such a lie when women are massively underdiagnosed with just about everything else except "hysteric" cluster B disorders and everyone's up in arms when men go rape kids in war and come back with PTSD but no one has cared about prostituted and abused women's trauma since the beginning of time and there's so many girls and women with ADHD and autism who never get diagnosed because they don't fit into the male-centric diagnostic traits

Plot holes in the bible? What next, the sky is blue?

If consenting women are sluts, I love sluts.

This blog is a space for apostates/ex-religious, self-proclaimed heretics/heathens, secular/irreligious celibates.

With this blog, i post and reblog topics related to severing my ties with god and religion.

Growing up as religious, I was taught that my purpose is to get married, reproduce, and increase the population of believers, which i reject.

I’m on a journey to find meaning through philosophy and celibacy, without needing to depend on relationships or religion to have purpose in life and find individuality.

"Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us, only sky

Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too"
