guys we do realize Splashtail ISN'T an atheist right? we know the definition of atheist?

#i wasnt sure why it was bothering me at first to see ppl complaining about Splash being a stereotyped 'evil atheist'#until i realized. he is not even an atheist #atheist means you do not believe in a higher power. it does not exist.#mothwing and cloudtail were atheists (but they are NOT anymore. both of them are shown to believe now #even if Mothwing still doesnt commune with them she DOES believe they exist)#splashtail believes StarClan exists he jsut doesnt RESPECT them. he refuses to accept them as his gods #but he BELIEVES in a higher power. therefore hes not atheist #not agnostic either i would argue.#see this is the thing about worlds where religion is REAL. its hard to have atheist/agnostic characters when the worlds religion is REAL #im warrior cats the existence of StarClan is undeniable AND its not just StarClan! but the Tribe of EH and ghost cats and whatever else!#cats are even BIOLOGICALLY BORN with this power of religion built into them (see: the Sisters the Three any med cat really)#Splashtail is not DENYING that StarClan exists. so i dont think calling him atheist is a fitting label #just my two cents as an atheist #warrior cats #warriors #splashtail #asc #asc spoilers #a starless clan #asc wind #wc wind

two different rabbis directly to me + multiple places online: jewish imposter syndrome is real and is (to varying degrees) almost a universal experience in one way or another

me, who has been actively practicing for over nine months and taken multiple classes while also being halachically jewish by birth: i am the exception and am an imposter in jewish spaces and should feel bad about it. no i will not elaborate on why i believe this is true of me and no one else.

#to be clear NONE of this shame is being messaged to me by my shul #i’m just so insecure since i was raised religiously christian and only officially stopped attending church in 2020 #*february 2020 #even though i’d been drawn to judaism and deeply uncomfortable with christianity for years before that #and also had a degree of jewish identity through my family and celebrating holidays secularly growing up #i stayed as long as i did because 1) the liturgy was familiar #and 2) i’d be guaranteed to see my best friend once a week #converts have to go through a gauntlet. i feel like i’ve…cheated.#part of me wonders if i should pursue an affirmation #whether it would help i mean #but if i did my jewish grandfather would rise from the grave and say ‘YOU DON’T NEED IT BECAUSE YOU’RE PERFECTLY JEWISH AS YOU ARE’#on the other hand he was also an atheist and probably would have mixed feelings on me practicing at all #although i’m not the only grandkid who’s done so #two of my cousins (their mom is my mom’s sister) were raised catholic but switched to judaism at least 10 years ago #to my knowledge neither of them went through an affirmation process #ughhhhh #my posts #jumblr #i guess i did elaborate why in the tags huh

Nothing but nonsense and bisexuality

#i can't even be mad I missed the stream today cus I saw the vision of one of my dream lovers today #the cutest pakistani boy he had glasses and a nice beard and nice smile and he was taller than me even in my 5'7 heels #he was kinda shy but had a good attitude and a very pleasant voice #and he was taking care of my bby nieces and nephews (his sister married my cousin) and was just like. . . a catch?#like the only downsides were: he's cis muslim and his family is racist to black people 😞😞#but like he was literally a person I've been dreaming about marrying and starting a family with #a cute desi guy who's sweet and caring #anyway there were a lot of fine asf people at that wedding (so many pretty girls it was unbelievable) but he was from my dreams so #I had to track him. . . OBVIOUSLY????#also it's all just fantasy. Cus my reality will be the soul crushing loss of my family when I come out as gay and atheistic #but I feel like it would hurt them less if it was a transmasc desi guy with pretty eyes and a full beard #as opposed to like.#. . .any woman #jovi talks

most of the schools i went to were catholic to its rlly surprising that i never had any type of religion class. it didnt actually affect anything other than us being made to stand in line and pray before class (and also sing the national anthem) but like you could just, Not do that and be chill

#i did go to catechism classes as a kid but that only lasted for a few months #i was 9 i think or 10 #kinda diff subject but i have a lot of memories of being 10-11 and figuring out religion #a lot of my memories for that time period are Gone I Am Memory Issues Man but not those for some reason #babies first independent thought <3 #i remember first doubting what i knew about god when i was like 7? but i shelved that until 5th/6th grade #as ive repeatedly brought up in this blog my sister died when i was in 5th grade which caused my parents to double down on the catholicism #at the same time i had found Atheist Progressive Facebook Pages and doubting everything #they made a routine of every day before bed reading me a passage from the bible and i had to sit there like yas queen so true #but me and this friend from school were heaving deep philosophical talks about religion dailyyyyyyyy #she reached the conclusion of god not being real a bit before me and i remember mentioning to my parents how i dont think thatd mean she #was gonna go to hell in one of the Nightly Bible Sessions #before i reached that conclusion i actually adopted the line of thinking thay god Was real #he just sucked ass and was a terrible being. and also fuck christianity #tho a few months later i went full atheist #one time me and that friend were on a fucking amusement park ride discusding religion. thats still funny to me #also a while later my mom started dipping her toe in other religions mostly as she tried to figure out how to deal w my sister dying #she got into spiritism and took me to like a. idk. lecture???? sermon??? i did not care so i daydreamed lesbian ever after highxmonster high #fanfiction during it. 👍#my dad also gave me a very long talk about how my mom was being tempted by the devil at that time which like. ok #also at age 11 the last time i went to church happened. it was on the 1 year anniversary of my grandpa dying (which also happened in 5th #grade) and his name was gonna be mentioned. i was already atheist then and i felt Very out of place. also intried convincing my younger #cousin the tooth fairy was real doing it #oh and i can never forget how i posted on facebook telling my extended family that i was an atheist and then my aunt held a prayer session #at her house while me n the other kids were playing and Loudly talked about how parents who let their children be atheists are doing the #devils work or whatever. or the family friend that told my mom the reason my sister died was bc my mom didnt go to church regularly #my mom didn't go to church regularly bc my sister was dying and she was busy trying to prevent that. lmao.#my sister dying actually had nothing to do w me questioning religion but literally everyone seemed to think so at the time. theyd be like #i know you might be angry at god because of your sister.... and i was like? no bitch theres just no scientific proof that guy exists what #oh there are so many typos and mistakes in these tags im not editing that. good luck

I don't need to share a faith with someone to believe in their human rights and their right to not to be violated/killed en masse. (I would hope that is obvious)

That being said, I was unprepared for the very...specific pain I would feel reading about the atrocities inflicted on Christians in Gaza. It's just... horrible 😟

#to be clear again it is also horrible for palestinian muslims/jewish people/atheists etc.#nobody deserves to go through what they are no matter what #but something about hearing what's happening to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ #especially RIGHT before Christmas #hurts me to my very core #sidenote but that's part of why I don't really vibe with those “now will the west christians care???” posts bc like #yes? I also cared when it was happening to people other than Christians? it shouldn't be happening to anybody?#idk I know they're well meaning but they've started to bug me #anyway #marie speaks

I should be studying, but I feel like I have to write this lest I forget.

If you find religion and discussions about it uncomfortable, specifically Christianity, then don't read.

Also, for some people who are going to accuse me of not knowing anything about Christianity, I grew up in a Christian home. I was formerly a very devout Christian. I even read the entire Bible, from cover to cover, when I was like 12.

Also, I just want to clarify this isn't an attack on a religion or beliefs, this is me pointing out something fishy within a certain religion. I do not hate anyone based on their beliefs/religion.

Anyways, I was talking with my cousin and my sister about colleges. My cousin was telling us how he likes his college because it's very diverse. I said and agreed that very diverse colleges are very good. That's why I don't like Christian colleges. I added to that statement by saying that I believe that people who go from a Christian high school to a Christian college are pretty sus (because I think that they are afraid of learning other peoples opinions and are prime for being taught extreme Christianity and conservatism, since that's all they kinda know (note, this isn't an attack on if this describes you).

My sister disagreed, saying that those who go to a Christian college probably just want to fellowship and that they are brave for doing so, since Christianity is looked down upon in society.

I literally had to do a double take, because I heard that people believed this, but thought that they were somewhere, out there. I didn't expect to be hearing this rhetoric from my own sister.

The thing is, in a majority of countries, you can't say that you are looked down upon as a Christian. In some Christian minority countries where you might be isolated or forced to hide it, then yes, that argument can be made. I'm not saying that everywhere, Christians face no persecution, because that's obviously not true. I'm saying, in a majority of countries, Christians are not looked down upon. They are treated as the norm, or even the ruling group.

For example, a Kenyan politician, in response to being asked why LGBTQ+ rights are not there, he literally responded "this is a Christian country". If Christians were really being looked down upon in Kenya, then surely, that wouldn't be his response.

Or even in the US. If Christianity was really looked down upon, then why do we say "under God" during the pledge of allegiance (albeit, they don't specify which God, but it is an unnecessary clause added during the Cold War because they believed that Communists and the Soviet Union weren't Christians, but atheist). If Christianity was looked down upon, how come a pastor was able to get up in an Ohio house meeting, in front of many cameras televising him, and say that if you did not accept Jesus, you are demonically possessed?

Or France for example. If Christianity was looked down upon in France, then why was there a push banning hijabs on Muslims in public, but not for nuns (French people, please come correct me on this, I am not too well versed in French politics, so if you have any additional information, please let me know).

The thing is, I understand where this line of thinking comes from. Way back when Christianity started, Christians were persecuted by the Roman empire, literally killed. I'm not saying that kind of behavior's is okay, but as centuries moved, Christians began taking more political control in Europe, spreading and forcing Christianity to it's colonies as well. It's 2023, not 233.

Her fellowship argument doesn't make sense, because going to a non-religious college doesn't stop you from fellowshipping with your Christians. (I want to make it clear that if that I am not against fellowship). In many colleges, there's often a Christian society, prayer groups, bible study's organized by other Christians' students. There are also many churches in the US, so you could always go there for more worship. The point is, if you want that Christian community, you can and will find it, while also being surrounded and exposed to non-Christians and different viewpoints, just like how the real world operates. I personally believe that there is nothing wrong for wanting a community with your beliefs, but that shouldn't be the only thing you know, because that only creates an echo chamber

So, I believe that my sister is incorrect. Unlike Muslims in America after 9/11 (or any vaguely Middle Eastern person, not that it mattered to those who hated them), you will not be, or very unlikely to be attacked, threatened, for just following your faith. You might be called lame for not drinking, or to uptight for sticking to your beliefs, but that's about the worst you will probably get.

Sometimes, I feel like it takes an outside perspective to really see how crazy inside the group really is.

Social media is full of weddings baptisms and other religious-focused events with people in the comments supporting and praising them

I wish there was more support for people who are happier as atheists

Less depressed, less confused, less cognitive dissonance or unanswerable questions

#I’m happy as an atheist thank u #my sister in law texted me like “there’s a church in your area with rainbow flags!1!1!!l #like my only issue with religion is their hatred of queer people like me #and not the fact that it’s stupid and contributed to colonialism and Isn’t True #if it’s true for you that’s cool but stop trying to convert me #i was mega religious for years #and it didn’t help #i feel better believing in science #why does god let bad things happen #he doesn’t #there isn’t a god #bad things happen bc we’re alone in the cosmos and Gary will rap as he pleases #also capitalism and colonialism #which if you’ve been saved you do Jack shit to help the world be better #in my experience #bc they have Faith that he will work it out #and a lot of the time!#he fucking doesn’t!#people die poor or homeless or in terrible medical pain #you have to deal with that fact while also thinking he loves you and only you and wouldn’t let bad things happen to you #until he does #and none of this god is a woman shit #Italy has a woman in charge doesn’t mean sexism or racism doesn’t happen #ok I’m done #rant #atheist #AND PROUD #and stop making me talk about it bc I’m gon hurt your feelings #bc my reasons are based on logic #which is why I think I’m right

I fucking hate my family’s homophobic church.

Like what the fuck does “fix Gen Z” or whatever the pastor said mean.

#look I try to be nice about because my family is religious #but this church makes it really difficult #like I’m an atheist being forced to go #and I can’t say I disagree with the sermon because my sister makes me the bad guy #for “trashing her religion”#like I’m criticizing this specific church as a whole #not the entire damn religion #never attending a church again once I leave

this world is bonkers mate i feel like the callouses of my skin are being torn down bit by bit layer by layer and when my heart is exposed it will explode into a pool of oxygenated haemoglobin and i will still be there standing on the side of the driveway trying to cross the road without a traffic light in sight.

#it fucking sucks when you from a third world country with fuck all constantly thinks about the horrors yet you barely do jack #<- talking to myself #and at the end of the day money is power money is god power is power and god is no more in this stupid world #and if youre atheist you should be determined to kill this money god because no god like that should exist #can the ummah start boycotting hajj and umrah. please. do you want to let religious free riders use your money to kill innocent humans #just let them go support the killing of their own brothers and sisters and siblings of islam #should we really let the holy lands be in the hands of people this corrupted. you know the munafik..#i feel like that title rings a lot more true to these so called muslim world leaders #i am talking to a wall i am throwing my voice into the void i am sorry i am sorry #for selfish reasons i want to believe people are still doing all they can offline. despite the dash being 'normal' now #despite it being alot worse than it ever was before. stripping humiliation of detained palestinian men and the kamal adwan hospital inciden #i am just. fucking appalled.#yet the only thing i do is fuck all.#on this stupid fucking site #what tha fuck

yooo you ever at a family gathering and someone whips out a game created and sold by michael j. knowles (christianconservativepoliticalcommentatorfascistwhooncesaidtranspeopledeservetobeeradicatedfromsocietyentirely) and they all start actually laughing in agreement over statements like “trans idealology is more detrimental to this country that critical race theory” and “DEI is a racist movement against white people” and “if a woman was president wars would be started once per month” and “bisexuality is fake” and “the #metoo movement was toxic to our country” and when you leave you still have to hug them goodbye because oof that one hurted

#as if I needed another reason to dislike my sister in law FUCK #she does this shit on purpose I’m so pissed rn she literally cannot leave us alone #and this is the same bitch who claims that her Christian way of loving is superior #fuck her for real #and looks me dead in the face to watch my discomfort #fuck her fuck her fuck her I hate her ugly house and her stupid dogs and her hateful personality #I would rather burn in hell than be anything like her #I love being atheist and pagan and spiritual and nothing at all and loving and gay and gender questioning and socialist #and everything that she is not! I love myself! I love being genuinely kind to others!#I love my community! I go proudly to hell with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes shouting my love for humanity!
