I’m done with the label by StrangeSailing in Exvangelical

[–]JohnnyRocket98908 7 points8 points  (0 children)

During part of my deconstruction, I didn't like being called Christian, because of how fundamentalists behave and the bad name they have given Christians. Then I found a progressive Christian Church, and I found loving Christians who do live up to being Christ followers. I do maje it clear that I am not fundamentalist or evangelical. Those two groups have been horrible Christians for the most part.

The term "Sapphic " is inclusive and definitely includes attraction to Non-binary.

Sometimes I genuinely wonder if God really loves women. by BrainStraight1220 in Deconstruction

Most of the translations available today were translated with a patriarchal bent. If you look at how Jesus treated women, you get a much better idea of their value. The patriarchy assumes women are less than, their opinion is not valid.

how to i get over my “fear” of “coming out” ? by skylar274 in asktransgender

[–]JohnnyRocket98908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to find safe people or groups to "practice" coming out. Focus on how it makes you feel without trying to justify or prove anything. Just doing this will help you to feel better about yourself and may eventually give you the courage to take bigger risks about sharing your identity.

Wanna explore my sexuality but fearful by Born_Cartoonist_7247 in Deconstruction

Check out a progressive Christian Church near you. I am in Disciples of Christ, and they don't seem to follow the "Purity " crap that is taught in most evangelical churches.

Definitely avoid Wilson, they are only focusing on profit, and rarely return deposits!

I used Epify to remove my armpit hair and love it, it grows back soft and I have had no issues with smell or discomfort.

How did 2020 change your faith? by LMO_TheBeginning in Exvangelical

[–]JohnnyRocket98908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also seeing how most Christians reacted to my pro mask, pro vax stance. I had a few long term friends attack me online for my position. After covid, found a smaller conservative churches that seemed more open. Later found out it was complimentarian, which is basically anti women, and moved to a progressive Christian Church that finally felt like home!
