just a reminder that Christianity is a white supremacist cult, and that your sincerely held beliefs are actually a mental illness caused by generational abuse. The church has never had the moral high ground as they pillaged their way through history, and are currently functioning as a real estate hoarding tax shelter that protects pedophiles 💜

how do you actually know though? you haven’t been to every church. you're generalizing but you’re human though and not above mental illness like the rest of us. so i understand what you’re saying.

notes on god

believing in God again after a traumatic upbringing in the baptist church is both so comforting, coming back home, prodigal daughter, and so terrifying, triggering, do i deserve to feel comfort and safety in God/am i even allowed to believe. unlearning the shame and guilt and unbiblical rules i was taught and carving out my own conception of Believer is so scary and lonely

Leaning into the fear & trauma

Growing up in a very pentecostal upbringing, there was a lot of fear / anxiety / worry about the afterlife. Mom & dad really did their best to make sense of a lot of that, but our church just leaned into the fire & brimstone. We’ve all since come to terms with our beliefs, even though they’re varied from family member to family member. Recently though, I’ve been looking back to what scared me and finding ways to make “things” out of those fears, almost to show power and control over them. Those very thoughts don’t scare me / don’t hold me any longer. So here’s to all the late 90’s / early 00’s fear tactics used in churches with pews where you’d be handed a tract about hell to share with your friends.
