I’m sick of having to censor my language and beliefs in order to save face in my community. I am polytheistic. I am pagan. I believe in many gods. I worship many gods. I speak to the gods and they speak back. I can hear them. I can see them. I have conversations with them. I believe in faeries. I have faeries that are my friends and live in my house. I give them offerings and they help with the chores. They also take my things and play other practical pranks, just like the old stories said. I know their names. I speak to them and they speak back. I believe in ghosts and spirits. I grew up in a haunted house. I’m psychic. I can speak to the dead. I have spoken to both living and dead animals. I’m superstitious. I find comfort in old wives tales. I am spiritually powerful. I will speak my truth, even if it makes me yet another witch on the outskirts. So be it. That is my destiny.

Khairete.

i want to say first of all that i fully respect a community's/denomination's/culture's right to have closed practices. i am not entitled to other people's traditions, and when i am a guest in a space i understand that everything is not automatically for me. and i know i do not have to understand to respect.

and also! when i go to a catholic church and can't receive communion i want to fall on the floor weeping. what do you mean i can't have him he's right there. sorry my baptism was the wrong kind of baptism. i'm hungry and you want me to become someone else before being fed.

#lutheran alert but will NEVER understand closed communion. i respect it. but i do not get it #none of us will ever be holy enough to hold jesus within us but we do every day anyway. and so we are #communion is what brings me to god. to put a barrier of entry on that. to say you have to believe certain things or be in a certain state?#idk it doesn't sit right with me.#again i respect it i have catholic family ik the beliefs/history/good intentions.#but i need to come out as an open communion fan #roman catholicism didn't exist yet at the last supper. jesus said do this in remembrance of me.#everyone who does this has already fulfilled the requirements to be present at the table #i think that was the only hard part of my grandfather's conversion. that he could break bread for me at the altar but couldn't give it to m #i would give anything to watch him preach one more time (he's retired/sick now)#but more than that i would give anything to be fed by him again. to eat with him as our lord commanded #just once.#i will have to be satisfied with the foretastes of the feasts to come that i have received from/with him. we'll have that again

Romans 8:28‭-‬32 (AMP). “And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. For those whom He foreknew [and loved and chose beforehand], He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son [and ultimately share in His complete sanctification], so that He would be the firstborn [the most beloved and honored] among many believers. And those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified [declared free of the guilt of sin]; and those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity]. What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us? He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?”

“May all things work together for your good as the Lord lights up every room you walk into.” Amen. 🙏

The misconceptions about Genesis 1:28 explained:

“God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon earth’.”

- Genesis 1:28

The phrase “be fruitful and multiply” will more than likely sound familiar to you whether it’s from your own experiences with religion, or from documentaries such as Shiny Happy People.

Regardless of if you have come across this phrase from religion or documentaries, you likely don’t know it’s true meaning.

While yes, “be fruitful and multiply” does objectively encourage the act of procreation, it does not mean that you have to have a large amount of kids. In fact, it doesn’t mean you are required to have kids at all.

The words “be fruitful and multiply” were said to Adam and Eve when they were first created. This sentence has no inherent value to anyone except those it was spoken to. Never once does the bible say not having kids is a sin. It heavily encourages you to have children, but does not say you have to.

Even if you do believe not having children is a sin, “be fruitful and multiply” still wouldn’t mean you have to have a lot of kids. Many people who believe motherhood is a calling of the bible believe all that is required to fulfil this goal is to have 2 children. One male, and one female.

After watching Shiny Happy People it became incredibly clear to me that many people misunderstand this verse. “Be fruitful and multiply” never meant anything beyond that Adam and Eve were required to have kids, and the only reason the IBLP said otherwise was to have more children to bring into their cult. IBLP’s goal was to raise a generation of kids who would take over the world. They did not care about the true meaning of this verse, they cared about power and control.

While not everyone who believes this verse inherently means you have to have a lot of children is tied to IBLP: It is an important distinction to make.

The idea that this verse means anything more than for Adam and Eve to have kids or for you to have one child male and one child female is a cult concept. It is directly created by a cult. That is not Christianity, it is a misogynistic p*doph*lic cult leaders lie.

tgeres so many ddlc fans now who think libitina is absolutely for sure the name of a person and looks like that one white woman image in natsukis file. and im pretty sure this is matpats fault

to be fair i don't think that's a horrible theory. i think the idea that libitina is a name comes from the projectlibitina.com website, the one hidden under a few layers in sayori's file. the file on the website does seem to suggest it is about a person named libitina, or someone referred to as libitina.

personally i think it's like a code name for this test subject, but it does seem like it. is a name. or a nickname

and since the name libitina and such is hidden in the character files, and the image of the white-haired woman is another easter egg from the character files, i don't think it's unreasonable that people put those two together and came up with libitina = woman in hidden image

the part i think is totally wrong is that libitina is literally yuri, somehow. and i think that's 100% matpat's fault

#ask #ddlc #yippee a ddlc ask just as i was coming to post about how i was having ddlc thoughts #project libitina #anyway my personal theories for project libitina are like pretty convoluted. ask me about them if you wanna be like '....what?'#ok so part of it #i do think that libitina is a real person who was probably like. test subject zero for this whole cult/study thing #i call her libby #but also probably she was named/nicknamed that after the god they worship #or after some other symbol of their uh. belief system?#considering the entire project is named after libitina and also libtina is the name of a roman goddess #unsure if libitina (real person or goddess/symbol) is the woman in natsuki.chr #but either one might be plausible?#anyway follow for more ddlc theories im like if matpat was a girl

Don't forget that neighboring regions experienced cultural syncretism and did not just 'copy/paste' religious beliefs and their Gods. Different cultural interpretations of the Gods are just as valid as the culture from which they may have originated.

There is no single interpretation of a God. Pagans are allowed to worship syncretized Gods without feeling guilty or judged for not following mainstream beliefs.

This was commonplace in ancient regions. Not everyone followed a strict pantheon with rigid boundaries. It has always been normal to have overlap between neighboring cultures.

Please do not insult other religions of which you know nothing about. You are just perpetuating misinformation.

“There is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” —Romans 8:1 (NLT)

“Jesus Took Your Judgment” by Rick Warren:

“Do you get it right all the time? Of course you don’t! None of us do. None of us is perfect.

There is a lot of pressure in our society to have it all together, to be successful in every endeavor, to be everything to everyone. But those expectations are unrealistic. Why? Because you are human. And being a Christian does not make you a super-human.

The Bible says you won’t be perfect after you become a Christian. If someone tells you that, that person is not telling the truth. You’re going to mess up. You’re going to fail at times. And most likely you will beat yourself up for your failures.

But, if you’re a follower of Jesus, you can be sure of this: God never condemns you.

Way too many believers live in fear, bitterness, and insecurity. Although they’re saved, you’d never know it by how they live. They’re too stressed out with fear that God will condemn them for what they’ve done wrong. They’re walking around with tension in their mind and body, and it shows in how they look at the future and how they treat others. Instead of dealing with their own guilt, they often pile it on others.

Yet the Bible says there’s no need: “There is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1 NLT).

In other words, God doesn’t judge you for all the things you’ve done wrong if you’ve trusted Christ. Jesus took all that judgment upon himself on the cross. God doesn’t have to judge you because Jesus was judged. He took the blame for your sins.

That’s amazing news. That is Good News—the Gospel! There’s no reason for a Christian to walk around in shame. There’s no reason to be bitter. Before you were ever born, God knew all the sins you’d ever commit—and he paid the price for every single one of them.

Whatever you’ve done in your past, whoever you’ve hurt, no matter what other people tell you—you can be sure of this: If you’ve given your life to Christ, you’re forgiven.

It is finished!”
