The content creator, Wendigoon who made that long ass video on Blood Meridian. I just think he has a lovely relationship with Christianity, like he's confident about it but doesn't force it on his viewers. I wish sunday studies would come back honestly. I was thinking of doing something similar to that where I analyze like Bible stories and give my interpretations but a lot of old head, more conservative Christians really disagree with me so I'm a little scared to put that out there. I don't want that kinda toxicity. I've met a lot of Christians in my day and so many of them are so hostile towards queer people. Like putting hate out there is the opposite of what the Bible preaches. Anyway, I was just thinking of doing like Bible studies here. Mostly for myself but if you're interested, you can keep an eye out for that, whether you're a fellow Christian or an atheist or someone from any other religion who just happens to find it interesting.
I just kinda want to be more confident with my Christianity and my relationship to God but of course, I don't want to force it, that's insensitive. I know a lot of people with religious trauma, so if it's not your thing, then that's fine too. I've been getting more into the Bible and I'm reading from Genesis. I know it's not meant to be read from cover to cover but I want to read it like that for some reason. I also just love Genesis, I've read it so many time. I think I could make for a refreshing perspective.

I thought this was just me! as a queer revert Muslim I'd say the first thing to do is find progressive resources of your faith, churches, discords, organizations, etc. it helps weed out the hateful sources that pop up. do research into different translations and their intentions and interpretations (mpvusa has a great resource on this that I think applies some great info). Find progressive people of faith irl and buy books so you can stay off the Internet if it overwhelms you. God in so many faiths is truly beautiful, loving, and forgiving. I assure you that the time you need to adjust and process whilst acting out of good will would please God! Just connect with the beauty of life and realize extremists and antitheists will be LOUD because they want others to be miserable like them. They think pessimism means intelligence but there is something so brave about accepting the unknown and being good regardless. Many blessings!
Thank you so much for this. It's a really old entry but I still find myself grappling with this issue. I'll take some of this into account! Again, thank you!

I haven't actually seen a lot of him, I love and love his literature videos though, his 5 hour video on Blood Meridian or his one on No Longer Human but I've been meaning to check out more of his stuff, he seems really chill.

oo for seeing the positive spins he tends to do id highly recommend the nsfw raft and surprisingly I have no mouth and I must scream. hes also super receptive to religiously based fiction like TMC and likes to congratulate that. Just in general with videos on topics that are weird funny or sorta existential he adds a cute optimist touch to is without being forceful

I do actually love that he feels comfortable talking about stuff like Paradise Lost and the other book that I forgot the title of. I'd love to watch more of his religious 'fanfic', I've also seen that compilation video where he talks about giants in the Bible and then I actually read that part and it made me chuckle a bit. I'll check out the NSFW raft but I'll have to wait to watch the I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream one, a mutual of mine recommended it to me and I first have to read it.
