trying to explain warrior nun to someone
#it’s like Catholicism right and there’s nuns but also the nuns have guns#and there’s an Angel halo but it’s not really a halo it’s stolen from this other realm#but we don’t wholly know why how or when#and there’s a godlike figure on the other side#and also the guy who knocked it originally right…he wants to like…bring all of these monsters into the world#and he’s SUCKING prayers out of the air to like charge this portal thing…#basically you just have to watch it. Fuck off

The way white Christians get all huffy when people call Christianity the white man's religion is telling. Be in denial all you want but Christianity has and continues to be a tool for racism and white supremacy.
#white christians sucks#ex christian#deconversion#deconstruction#apostate#the way white christians treat POC who aren't Christian like they're stupid and savage#i see you pricks demonizing practices that come from predominantly non white countries and groups#sorry i think of how catholicism was used to colonize canada and how that legacy still lives on and get mad#white canadian catholics are deeply racist pieces of shit

Math sucks
I struggled with math in high school.
Before then, I’d done alright in math. I wasn’t the best, but I could keep up.
That changed freshman year. With a teacher who explained things. Once.
If you didn’t get it the first time, he would (grudgingly) repeat the same explanation. But that was it.
If you needed him to break it down for you. Or to explain it a different way, you were out of luck.
The school found out about it. And sacked him at the end of the year.
But for me, the damage was done. I had convinced myself that I was bad at math. And that math sucked.
With that idea stuck in my head? The rest of my formal education gave me the grades to prove it.
It wasn’t until years later, when my kids started needing need help with their math homework, that I learned the truth. I wasn’t bad at math.
My “I’m bad at math/math sucks” idea? Had no connection to my actual abilities.
I had internalized my experience with an awful teacher. I had convinced myself that I couldn’t do something.
All because I couldn’t get it perfect on the first try.
When all I actually needed was a better/different explanation to help me get it.
Maybe it wasn’t math for you. But a lot of us can tell a similar story. Whether it happened with a subject in school, or sports, or music, or a job, or a relationship. It’s a trap that is all too easy to fall into.
It’s one of those things that only becomes obvious with the awful clarity of hindsight. And one that can take years to dig out of.
It’s a stark contrast to what we see it in today’s Gospel.
Where Jesus is explaining His love and care for people in an extended metaphor. But the people He’s speaking to just aren’t getting it.
The best part? What happens next.
Unlike my awful math teacher, Jesus doesn’t grudgingly repeat the same explanation. Or belittle them for not getting it perfect on the first try.
Instead (in a move that reveals the heart of God), Jesus gives them a different explanation. More direct, more obvious.
If you read the rest of the chapter, they keep struggling. But Jesus doesn’t give up. Jesus understands where they are struggling. And keeps working with them. Until they get it.
It’s a moment that reveals a lot about God.
That if you and I don’t get it perfect on the first try, that won’t stop God. God will keep working with you. And working with you. Until you get it.
Because God loves you too much to quit.

Let’s say, for the sake of debate (and au lore) that Pony Island took place in the 80’s and that The GameWorks was made in the late 80’s-early 90’s
And for further debate let’s say that the employees at that time, admins included, got a lot of creative freedom with their outfit presentation because the uniform wasn’t established yet.
Must’ve been a lot of denim in the office… a phase Isaac doesn’t like to remember lol
#my art#demon’s ocs#art#artists on tumblr#anarchy doodles#the hex#the hex oc#admin t. isaac#Before they converted to Catholicism and fell a billion times 👍 and ofc the uniform#Even back then Isaac was still a nervous suck up. They just were also quite stylish!

And ANOTHER thing!!!! I’m supposed to believe that Danny Castellano, who knew how to make the perfect workout motivation specifically crafted for Mindy, who choreographed a dance to a song she played years earlier as a present for her, who knows she wouldn’t go to a crepe place because “Mindy likes a thick bread”, who knew how to plan the perfect date for her, suddenly doesn’t know how to buy a good present for her?
#season 4 writers when I catch you#oh ha ha Danny’s clueless and sucks at getting presents#well the last 3 seasons I watched say otherwise!!!!!!#the mindy project#tmp#danny castellano#IF THERE IS ONE THING DANNY KNOWS IT’S MINDY LAHIRI!!!!!#also Bruce Springsteen Catholicism and oral sex

I do understand the genuine fear people have when they love someone who's gay and they believe they're going to hell for it. Like it's not from a place of hatred it's from a place of fear & love! but I just also don't conceptually understand how Heaven could exist as a place where you're separated from those you love to the point it causes that sort of distress in the first place. How can you believe Heaven exists when it's a place you could be while you child is in Hell?
#I mean OBVIOUSLY this is extremely homophobic! it sucks! but it doesn't make someone evil to have these fears yknow. it's real to them.#that fear.#incoherents#tw homophobia#granted hell as a concept is pretty hard for me to buy too. I can believe in so much about Catholicism as a form of creation within the#unknown of what humans are capable ofe knowing and perceiving#but Hell. doesn't compute. i think it's more abstract than that

mkay not to be like. a little insane or anything. but god i've been going crazy over religion (catholicism) and blood lately. did anyone else drink blood as worship every week since they were seven. was anyone else inundated with images of open wounds as holy. is anyone else consumed by the thought of holding onto a crucifix tightly enough for the edges of it to draw blood. i turned in a poem about drowning in communion wine in an empty church while bleeding from crucifix-inflicted hand wounds and trying to talk to god and my creative writing professor gave me extremely normal critiques i feel like i'm losing my mind
#is ANYONE ELSE here.#also i made my poetry insta and i was gonna backpost but i think i might just sit and stare at it until april sfkghsd#it's me and my few hundred tumblr followers on my poetry acc. and the five thousand pornbots on this one ig#life is so. like.#i CONSTANTLY think that being raised catholic didn't do that much to me but obviously it did SOMETHING#you know what. yeah. cause i didn't end up with guilt over being queer but i did end up having my whole world view torn away from me#cause when god is the fundamental building block to everything...#my parents were extremely reasonable about things all things considered#but losing trust and faith in god is like having the bottom block pulled out of your little tower#and since i was fifteen i feel like i've been trying to either get it out fully without letting it all crumble#or trying to push it back without causing more damage#and the tower's never gonna be the same no matter what. you know.#i suck at self reflection so i never actually think about this stuff but dear god does it consume me#like no i did not end up with catholic guilt really. however being asked to examine yourself as a sinner at 7 will do things to you#HATE myself why am i still awake. so fucking upset i need to be up so early tomorrow skdjfgh#screaming and crying. anyway anyone else up thinking about catholicism and blood???#valentine notes#catholic tag

i feel like there is so much to be said about drizzt do’urden’s religious views and how he’s a stand-in for culturally christian atheists. he grew up in a corrupt religious society and has religious trauma, so as a result he views all religion as bad. at first it seems like he’s going to have a “pagan finds jesus” story but he eventually rejects mielikki too, and imo, it always felt out of character that he followed her in the first place so i wasn’t surprised when he changed his mind. he was looking for a name to label his preexisting system of ideals, which feels very much like christians who claim “all that matters is that you live by the bible and live in a godly manner”. many religions are about teachings and traditions as much as they are about “just being a good person and following god’s vibes” (which i feel like is INCREDIBLY standard in american protestantism)
i think a lot of it comes down to the fact that the forgotten realms (and a lot of fantasy tbh) treats the gods as just Very Powerful People instead of the forces of nature personified (and again this is to be expected from a christian culture, where jesus was Just A Guy)
#ik i don’t really post about dnd lore bc most of it sucks ass and i prefer to ignore it lmao#only a very large sum of money could get me to reread those books tho lmao#it’s to be expected that they would apply morality to the gods when dnd has a morality system yk#it doesn’t work imo. but the way they approach religion feels like it was written by someone who is not religious and doesn’t rly understand#it’s the latent catholicism talking but religions aren’t synonymous with moral systems#it’s ethical guidance for sure but more than that#it’s belief AND practice AND also faith that you can’t know everything#the latter is kind of off the table in a world where the gods tangibly exist bc then it just becomes#‘the king is so powerful and better than you and has many secrets that he keeps for your protection’#in this type of religious system it makes all clerics seem like sycophants or fools#and yet we also have drizzt who says the gods and their worship are pointless#(which is why i never really bought that he was bought into mielikki)#if you want to make a criticism about systems of power. most fantasy still has kings and queens#been thinkin about drizzt and the drow a lot lately after one of my side moots and i were talking lol#and just how. utterly garbage the official lore is. from all aspects#mine#dnd

Teutonic Order occupied Lithuanian sibling tribe Baltic Prussija (Prūsai), although Prūsai already had Catholic churches and education centres, stole Prussija's name, raped, killed, looted and burned hundreds of families under sauce of "Converting heretics, снамибог", helped Livonian Order to occupy and introduce future Latvia to literall slavery for 500 years, erased many languages including Old Prussian from the face of Earth - but yeah, Lithuania probably hated them because paganism. :/
Also, yeah, Lithuania as a nation really REALLY didn't want to unify with Kingdom of Poland till the last. However, they lost Ruthenia and part of Gudija, so their government didn't really have a choice.
It's actually crazy how people love to portray Lithuania as some kind of unreasonable hater of Catholics (whom they are not, btw) when both Lithuanians, Latvians and BELARUTHIANS still have a generational trauma. (Which is STILL used by russia btw)
#hetalia#hws lithuania#aph lithuania#also translation sucks lol#hws prussia#aph prussia#average Ukrainian family doesn't have Catholicism trauma because we weren't neighbours with Teutons#Christianity was introduced to us through government not via genocide#my family nevertheless cannot stand crosses in our house

Talking to Boomers who were Catholic is absolutely hilarious because you even so much as mention going to Mass, they immediately have to let you know how much they hated going and how much they dislike the Church and the religion itself. They hold absolutely nothing back and give zero fucks. Love that for them.
#my nana is one such boomer and its hilarious hearing her talk shit about Catholicism while still believing in some of it#ex catholic#boomers#growing up catholic#like yes nana you tell those priests and catholics how much they suck#like so many Catholic boomers believe in god but hate the institution and man that is so valid

#i also keep seeing absolutely buckwild things from it completely out of context and im more confused#about what this series is actually about than ever#i also can no longer tell what genre it is bc latest reports say it's a space opera locked room mystery#i admit i did actually try to read it once but i didn't make it through a single chapter bc i hated the writing style so much#does that get better? is the shenanigans and actual story worth it?#frankly im sick of getting queer media reps that actually suck and are poor quality but ppl go nuts for the queer bit alone#im worried this is another one of those but frankly the reports sound wild and i kind of want to know what the hell is going on 😂#like is Gideon dead? a walking corpse? are they not with harrow? did someone fuck god?? and WHAT is the arm scene???#apparently there's catholicism for their world too and god is a mess and there's Some Guy who sucks involved in that#i have zero clue what this series is about anymore every new thing i see makes me more confused and bewildered#but chaos reigns so i might need to find a way to muster through it lol#anyways 👀

I just realized that I might’ve had a crush on an old friend of mine when we were kids in the weirdest way possible.
So I’m just chilling and thinking about how sometimes you see someone or meet someone and they remind you of someone else or a character from something? You know how that can be a good or bad thing and depending on the character it usually is interpreted in only one way. So anyway, when I met this girl, idk why but my instant thought was “She reminds me of Fiona from Shrek” but when I was young it was still the culture of “women are supposed to be thin queens” so I couldn’t tell her this cause she might take it the wrong way (reminder this is earlier earlier 2000’s like 2006…aka a time where you would be called so many things that most don’t say nowadays, or at least get scolded for saying them, by your fellow 6 year old classmate) anyway but while I knew I didn’t think of it as a bad thing. I only saw the positive parts, she was strong and kind and very smart! She had a caring personality and her smile was beautiful. That’s when it hit me
“Oh my god I had a crush on her” but I didn’t know what being gay was! I was 6!!! And the only time I ever heard gay was a few years later when people used it to insult me and others, and even then I had no clue what it meant! (Neither did the other kids they just were taught it was a bad thing sooooo you know it became an insult)
Years later I accept that I’m Bi but damn I wish I had know sooner cause I don’t talk with that girl anymore (also after some things she did I don’t think I’d feel the same way as I did before but that’s a different story)
Long story short: I realized I had a crush on my friend because she reminded me of Fiona from Shrek in a positive way.
#story of my life#this is now the earliest memory I have of being bi and stuff#like the other time was when I thought ‘what would happen if a girl liked me in that way’ and I just got all giddy#cause like ‘whhhhaaaa a girl liking me?!?! and wanting to kiss me?!?!? ahahhaafbsyxthehsbxg’#then I got all blush thinking about it#I was 8 when that happened#damnit childhood me#you were too sucked into Catholicism to realize! nooooooooo#anyway thought I’d share cause damn wtf

and they still fucked it up
#the trinity is so fucking funny like the single most heretical thing to catholicism is one of its foundational beliefs#to the point where most formally designated heresies in history actually are more in line with true catholic monotheism than the holy see#which ig is how you get the new brand of neo nazi online 'catholics' who are just evangelical christians who dont realize catholicism is#entirely a lie and based around sucking and fucking everything that moves and going to hell forever
