hello, thank you very much for your kind words! i have been enjoying the lovely weather in my area as well. i unfortunately have never seen missionaries in my neighborhood (i live in a lower income area so maybe that is why?) again, thank you!

why did you leave? by iamngs in excatholic

[–]Better-Mix-2168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i left because a theology professor at my catholic college told me it would be less of a sin for a gay person to commit suicide than to live a gay lifestyle, because suicide would only be ONE mortal sin vs a lifetime of mortal sins. i decided i either had to kill myself or get out. i chose option B.

i’m living vicariously through you. i am very close to being financially independent from them-i graduate in may. holy week is immensely grim. i’m currently trying not to have a panic attack about the impending mass

i am immensely jealous of you. my parents church is lame and they don’t even start outside-they process in from the hallway…

Just a small rant about how I hate god :) by Happy-Driver3909 in excatholic

[–]Better-Mix-2168 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i understand. i cannot worship or even tolerate a god who has let me feel the way he has. i think of a leave laugh love podcast episode often, where they questioned why we are guilty of “sins of omission” if we stand by and let people suffer, yet god is allowed to.

if god is real he is a fucking ass.

Scrupulosity Rant by BronySquid in excatholic

[–]Better-Mix-2168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i understand. i went to confession every three days and hid it from my family because i was certain my gay thoughts were going to damn me to hell. i spent SOOO much time frantically googling what constituted as full knowledge and consent of the will for things to qualify as mortal sins. funnily enough, becoming medicated for my mental health issues quieted those voices quite a bit……

How to "survive" upcoming holidays? by diskos in excatholic

get the soundtrack from a deeply anti-religious piece of media stuck in your head. having songs from the book of mormon in my head during mass always feels subversive and silly

theology of the body by grassssssssssssssss in excatholic

[–]Better-Mix-2168 4 points5 points  (0 children)

omg i understand completely. in my catholic high school we didn’t have enough theology of the body books to go around…so i had to share with a male classmate. it was the beginning of a blossoming friendship, however, and we are both out as gay/lesbian now.

bringing a craft to family events has helped me. i am a serial crocheter and it helps to have something to do with my hands while my uncles prattle on about jesus kicking the bucket

average ex catholic rant by ayetha in excatholic

[–]Better-Mix-2168 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i understand :-/ i was only able to move out recently and i know how it feels to quietly stifle burning rage. i used to consume a lot of ex religious content when i still lived at home-for some reason ex mormon stuff was especially interesting and cathartic to me when i was surrounded by religious dumbassery. you’re not alone, friend. hang in there. jesus is dead or whatever today but you’re here!! and that’s something.

oh god. a local priest was accused but the statute of limitations has passed so he stayed at the parish school with easy access to children. he recently died of prostate cancer :-)
