catholics be like “don’t be horny kids” and then bombard you with images of half naked men tied up to things
I cannot express the anger I experience being unable to do anything about anything while Christians salivate over the idea of the Israel-Hamas conflict being a sign of the Rapture
France did a review on the pornography industry and revealed that 90% out of millions of videos watched contained violence against women and misogyny.
Me but mostly her roman equivalent, Juno.
In your opinion who is the most beautiful?
Aphrodite? Athena? Hera?
This is how Homeric wars people talk about for centuries get started I'm gonna pass lol.
But just saying if *I* was married to Hera, I'd be nice to her. I would love my divine peacock wife.
“Not to shade religious people but it’s kinda chilling how some folks praise Abraham for being willing to kill Isaac for God to prove his devotion. Like idk about y’all, but if God told me to kill my son i’d kinda be like maybe this isn’t the god for me.”
Religion prioritizes submission, devotion, obedience, blind faith, etc. so it’s obvious what that tale was trying to do. They’re telling the followers that they will be rewarded for putting their god above any other.
“You must submit, but you have to do it willingly (like Abraham), forced submission is the same as no submission.”
They’re portraying this behavior as something to be praised and something to strive for. Abrahamic religions only give the illusion of “choice”. The tale is used to keep the followers in line while making them think that they’re admirable and worthy of praise because they chose to submit.

I can understand that a lot of fellow leftists don’t want muslim folks to get attacked for simply having their faith or wearing hijab, but apparently for most of them, it ended up being translated to “we’re not allowed to criticize islam as a religion.”
I wish we can separate attacks with criticism because the latter is very necessary. I can absolutely talk about how islam, like other abrahamic religions, can teach some very harmful things and become a tool for the justification of violence, without attacking people who happen to only hold some parts of the faith that doesn’t include the bigotry. (Or without attacking people in general)
it’s so isolating being an ex muslim, i left islam for my liberal values and trauma only for a lot of people on the left to coddle islam and defend it from any criticism while ex muslims are still being killed, tortured, honour killed by their own family, it was very disheartening to see that the side that says that they are “here” for the people who are suffering to constantly demonize ex muslims and their trauma and suffering and actively create a hostile environment against them and then they wonder why some ex muslims turn to the right, cause they listen to them even though they may know that they are probably nothing but a token they still will be there cause they think that the right hears their criticisms and suffering.
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
frequently thinking about how god decided off the cuff that people should all speak different languages and therefore become divided culturally and interpersonally because if we managed to successfully organize and work together we would eventually reach and defeat him. OG fascist.
