Long Crazy Rant™ about religion, sex, and purity culture

Ok OK, I know this is a crazy heavy topic considering most of my posts are literally me wanting to fuck a fictional computer... But this is actually super important to me so I'm gonna talk about it!! [typing quirk off btw bc of how serious this is]

[Crazy trigger warning for obvious reasons]

Just because your religion tells you what you are doing is right, doesn't mean that you are in the right. Crazy but no religion or belief has actually ever been confirmed!! So why is it that because someone is dressing a certain way that apparently gives a hoard of people the go ahead to harass that person? It makes no sense!! 

I'm using Christianity as my main example for this because I was raised in a cult who's beliefs stemmed from Christianity so just bare with me for a second. 

Why is it that so many Christians will shame victims of rape, abuse, ect even though the Bible is meant to teach you not to do that?? Didn't Jesus say love thy neighbor? Why is it that people think Jesus would want his "followers" to attack random people who were victims of rape, pedophilia, sexual harassment, or general abuse??? And not only that but people will also go after queer people because "oh! Being gay is a sin!!!" THE ORIGINAL BIBLE NEVER SAID SHIT ABOUT GAY PEOPLE. 

The line was originally about pedophilia, about how a man shouldn't sleep with a boy, not about man with another grown man. It was a translation error that we're still paying for!!

And pedophilia is scarily common in the Christian community, with pastors and priests being outed as creeps on the regular so I'm not even surprised that they don't want to use the original meaning. 

Another thing is sex in general. If you are having safe, sane, and consensual sex within your own room... I don't think it should matter!! Getting kinky is ok!! Having sex with more than one person at a time is ok!! Being queer and having gay sex is ok!!! But because it's not just a man and a woman with the man on top, that suddenly means that the world is going to explode according to most Christians!! It's so fucking stupid! Who cares if someone wants to be tied up by their partner, as long as is consensual sex it really shouldn't matter. 

Purity culture and religion is also fucking insane. Oh! Most girls hit puberty at around 10 in my area but we weren't allowed to learn about things like pubic hair, safe sex, consent, periods, growing pains, being aroused by things, or anything else because talking about puberty means you'll probably need to learn about sex. I knew what sex was when I was 8!! We have the internet people!!! In fact, that lack of sexual education in religious groups has caused suicides to happen!! I've seen multiple cases of 12 year old girls killing themselves because they though their periods were actually the losses of virginity and they thought they deserved death!! One of those cases happened at my old church by the way so you literally can't even say that I'm exaggerating. 

Sexual education is very VERY important, I don't care if you think that not talking about sex and how puberty works is inappropriate, this stuff is able to ruin a person's life!! 

Feel free to rant about this stuff in the comments by the way. I have plenty more I could say but I won't since I don't need to get banned. I just needed to get this out.

this exactly was the reason why I was so adamant NOT to become a christian. I would literally jump from religion to religion to witchcraft to omnism to agnostic to shifting, EVERYTHING! I was raised in a very christian household as well so I was literally just rebellious in everyday, especially after my family found out I was suicidal. I just didn't want to be associated with christianity in anyway because people are so cruel.

it wasn't until God called me back and I actually read the Bible. and then I was like... this isn't what people say it is at all??? I realized it was the PEOPLE that were the problem, not Christ or the Bible. Hypocrites and fakers that believe saying they're a Christian makes them holy and saved, when that's the OPPOSITE of what Jesus says is true. now I make it my mission help "Christians" realize what they're doing is wrong and not of God or His Word.

That is something that I've noticed, how many people who clam to be Christian just cherry pick things from the Bible but ignore other things that they don't agree with

Low-key that's so agreeable though even as someone who isn't really christian but in my own take I wanna grow up to be a catholic priest I think!! I always dreamed about being one a few years ago as my job career. And now that this whole thing about religion is out it's really hard to want to be a priest when I'm older. Like hello what if I wanna be a priest that teaches that being gay isn't a bad thing or accepts igbtq? Ive never seen any priest or pastor do that so I wanna grow up, transition into a male and a few things done to me like surgery and all and then make a church where igbtq is accepted and all and other types of things, and your not wrong though sex education is really a good thing to learn about, otherwise people might not know anything about it. But still the main part I hate is that pastors and priests are getting outted as creeps like some can even be accusations though I know some can be true but if I grow up as a pastor and someone accuses me of that I'm gonna genuinely quit my job at that church. Like I swear media (south park which is a good example of this, and other media like it) have shaped into where they make some pastors look bad or creeps and all like no... Not all priests are creeps I think only ones that make bad decisions and are actually that harmful stereotype. Seriously I really think I'm cooked in this generation cause I ever say my job career is a priest in highschool I think everyone is gonna bully the crap out of me

This is why I've said I wanted to be a non-christian priest, cause man Im starting to really be convinced to be a catholic cause the christian community has so many problems it's insane, especially shaming people for being r@ped?? Like hello??? I was SA once in my life and im always scared of him coming back and doing worse to me if I ever see him again so I really hate seeing that. Like people can't help that they got assaulted like it literally just happened like I would atleast be there for the victim and support them all the way through.

Exactly. I hate when religious people uses their religion as an excuse to be an terrible human , for example when people say things like " My religion don't let me support you in any way" or "Sorry in my religion they don't accept people like you" , like what? It's no like trying to live my life just like another human but in my way a sin or some shit , if you can't support other humans lives just because silly things like gender identity/ sexuality or the way other ppl dress , or live their personal lives (while not doing anything bad to others) , then is not your religion is you , religion shouldn't be a barrier for people being good humans to other people. I also hate with all my guts when some religious people talk about SA , and say stuff like " God wanted it ,in that way."??? . I just fucking hate sooooo much purity culture. I want to be filthy ,'inpure' , a fucking sinner , evil , whatever you want to call me , just lemme live peacefully for once.
I don't like to vent in other people posts but this is pretty much related(If it makes you feel uncomfortable , feel free to delete it) I still remember the things that some morons of my school did to me because I were Alt , queer , and I didn't believe on their God , and also because I were different(so damn different from them , but thanks Satan for that at least) , they traumatize me at point that I stopped feeling safe in a place that I was supposed to feel safe . They were extremely hateful , giving creepy comments about me , calling me diabolical , filthy , Satan , the Devil , sinner , unpure, shi like that , people used to throw all the fault at me or sometimes just tell me to ignore that kind of concerning behavior from them?? They even say sexual comments about me , hell , and others . So disgusting. One thing that just fucking break me when I remind it , and is one of the main fuckin' reasons of which I hate when religious parents brainwash children , were the one time they trinna choke me with an scarf that I was wearing on the name of GOD???? They call themselves Godchild when they were so fuckin' evil. Worst thing about this is that next year they may stay in the same school as I'm. I can't emotionally handle some religions because all the trauma I got from it , I know not every believer are like that , but enough are like that to that , to just fucking give me pretty flashbacks sometimes. As at once trans(now genderfluid ) person , I still remember how fucking traumatized I got when I was trying to transition , my mom (I was raised I'm a very religious family , and these assholes are still trying to convert me into one of them ) just fucking misgender me and care more about me being in the way 'God' make me born as , than just trying to be a good mother for once . Religion hurts .

True I can understand all of this especially as someone who has dealt with and has seen homophobia and transphobia and all... And I just wish the christian community could get better but I don't think they will anytime soon which sucks but I blame america for all of this low-key 🥀

I completely agree with you ! the homophobia, the purity culture, and all that shit aren’t from Christianity itself, it’s mainly from in patriarchal oppression ! and religion is used as an excuse.

Also, I wanna add that when you read the Bible, it says that Jesus cared for the weirdos, the marginalized, and the sinners — THE DUDE WAS A LEFTIST! How did we go from Jesus, a symbol of empathy — to alt-right religious people being jerks?! That’s crazy !

(Actually, I don’t know a lot about religion, I just know some passages from the Bible.)

real :( like i feel like most people who swear theyre god devoted christians just cherrypick it so they can attack minorities
cause like judging people is a sin, touching/ looking at women inappropriately is a sin, debt should be relieved after 7 years, and theres probably more
and all of thats considered fine but god forbid someone feel love
also the whole "dont use gods name in vain thing is misinterpreted"
cause it isnt saying "oh my god" or "god damn it" which is what some "god devoted christians" harass people for saying
but rather saying stuff like "god will punish you if you (not thing explicitly stated as bad and judge worthy)" or saying god doesnt like it just because you dont like it
which is what some "god devoted christians" do
and this is just some of them im not saying every christian ever is like this

Ok but the cherry picking things is wayyy too common, if you actually read the original Bible most things are considered sins. Maybe not one of the 7 deadly sins or some sort of forgotten commandment but like... I feel like we as a society should think about what's not being cherry picked by most Christians... Y'know??
