PSA - Delete Any Asks You Receive About "joyofsatan.org!"

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.

libfems be like: FUCK religion. it is OPPRESSIVE. it HARMS WOMEN. it's NONSENSICAL. how could you believe in your SKY DADDY. ANYONE who believes in religion is stupid and not worth the conversation!

... but not that one. that one's fine! listen to the people who practice it!! (in a conveniently western and privileged area) it's okay when they say women is property because it's cultural.

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.

Someone i know even admitted that the only reason he’s a zionist is out of fear of “God’s Wrath”.

Listen, i dont mean to sound like a reddit atheist, but... You ever think about how evangelical Chriatians very literally believe that there will be a genocide in which billions of humans, mostly just innocent everyday people, are condemned to suffer in hell?

And, like, that's the end. That's the finale. Of everything they believe. That's their solution for the world. A final one, if you will.

And they don't rebel. They don't say "hey, wait, that's a bit much" and appeal to their God to maybe reconsider. They don't even seem to really mind.

Instead, they worship. They conjure up an image of a genocidal maniac, and they worship it. The word "praise" is bandied about a lot. Praise. For a leader whose endgoal, very transparently, is genocide.

Suddenly a lot of history makes a little more sense.

someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good

“BuT hE LoVeS yOu1!1!!1!1”

'if you dont obey god god will make it so that bad things happen to you' is anyone else getting abuse vibes from this? tell me im not the only one who finds this incredibly fucked up and abusive

I don't really do breakup songs since I'm aspec and don't really get it, but "Somebody That I Used To Know" from an ex cult perspective hits so hard oh my god

"That's not god's fault," might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. My child, that guy's entire claim to fame is being omnipotent and omniscient.
