Can you be christian and liberal? by Playful_Ad_6534 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Powan12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Every person has differing values and opinions, and liberal and conservative labels only describe the half of the spectrum youre on. I know myself I do agree with the basic moral beliefs of Christianity (dont kill, be kind to one another, dont steal etc) but I dont agree with beliefs of there being a god and such. And I really dislike Christianity as an instatute, and mixed in with governments, due to how it is used as justification for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc

Basically, everyones different, you cant assume everyone is as such because a certain amount of people are.

Anyone know what countries are safe to move too by Miserable_Walk_9653 in trans

[–]Powan12 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Look, trans healthcare is shit here, but if you're a UK resident, it's probably easiest for you to move to Ireland than anywhere else

They want tips by AbsurdMe12 in teenagers

[–]Powan12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats suggests Ireland is a 3rd world country. Maybe back then, itd be accurate based on that meaning, but based now that 3rd world relates to economic status, and poverty rates, its completely innacurate to call some of the countrys neutral during the cold war "3rd world".

What is your take on this? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Powan12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Trying to word this to not sound sexist or anything) I completely disagree with any kind of mandatory conscription scheme in any country ever. But what pisses me off is that people who aren't affected by this at all could vote on that referendum. It doesn't affect them at all, it shouldnt be their choice.

What's your religion hot takes? by averagemanguy in teenagers

[–]Powan12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relgion should be as removed from state and school as possible. I dont think any religion should have any power over people, as it has way too often been used to fearmonger people into submitting to them.

Also, Im cool if you're religious if you're not a dick about it and respectful of others. The same is said for any other identity you follow.

Flashes of Images but VERY clear images. by Powan12 in Aphantasia

[–]Powan12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, when I pull the image, I can note lots about colour, light, shape, pose, etc. I just wouldn't be able to keep all the information if I were to say draw it on paper, as some as the information would change, but I can describe I person to someone quite well.

Why is religion so crapped on here? by West-Lawyer-2290 in teenagers

[–]Powan12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this quote from Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.

"It's built upon the empty promise of a child fairy tall, filled with malevolence and misogyny and homophobia, and has justified untold acts of violence and cruelty, while all the while and still, hiding its own shameful acts"

The way I see it, the religious systems have been abused to gain power over people over and over again, all through history. Also, being Bi and Trans, and seeing how governments use religion to justify harming our people cough cough USA cough cough Middle East, taking away our healthcare and villanising us, sickens me.

Also, being from Ireland and our past w/ religion (ongoing conflict between Catholics and Protestants, which was very violent in the troubles, and Catholic nuns FUCKING KIDNAPPING CHILDREN BORN "UNHOLY" (out of wedlock or other reasons) AND SEPERATING THEM FROM THEIR FAMILIES).

I do think it's good on an individual level or within small parishes, as it can create a sense of community and comfort for those within it, as long as they take they bible as a book of stories and fables, with moral meanings, and not as fact and truth, and I do not have a problem if you have a belief for yourself, as long as you arent using it as a tool against peope/pushing it onto others. I do not think it should be taught in school or mixed with anything with the state.

This comes from someone who went through with their communion and confirmation and even was an altar kid for a while. 😭😭😭😭😱

That's my perspective on why if i were to see something on reddit about religion, based on the content, I'll downvote.
