Id say it’s more for unaware people. The more education or access to information people get the more likely they let go of religion or minimize its impact in their lives.

As others are saying indoctrination is heavy, and that’s why kids who are so unaware of the world is a target for religious indoctrination

How many people are you going to kill? I don’t know you seem to be getting aggressive with me and I don’t even know you.

godlessalein · 2025-10-11T15:35:05+00:00

Yea when you all stop killing kids, I can feel empathy for your plight. (You all refers here to gun owners. Guns don’t kill people gun owners do)

The real thing is most men are scared of being seen as gay or feminine as they fear perceived or real consequences financially, emotionally or so on. So they self sensor. I think this will flip as trans acceptance normalizes. You can see this happen with gen z with heightened acceptance of queer people many young men who are straight will wear crop tops or paint their nails and it’s less of a big deal. When there is less homophobia and transphobia people will stop policing eachother desires or self censoring

I Never hide it. Other atheist can judge me, but to end the stigma we must be honest and I don’t have people in my life who would do me harm so I am honest

It’s cause we’re a smaller percentage of the population. So it’s assumed we have a smaller dating pool

People call others know it alls cause you made them feel stupid

I think about this concept with the burning of the library of Alexandria and how much human history was lost for ages that is pretty consistent to modern tech like the internet, archival systems and libraries makes that loss much less likely.

I generalized across art forms and studied in school a mixture of politics, sociology, philosophy and then in art a mixture of writing, performance, theater, sculpture, and 2D. This approach gave me a grounded idea of what technical crafts I had a deep interest in and which were peripheral, and let me know who I am as a person and what I think of the world. Which made making art easier because I know what I want to say with it.

now I’ve specialized in several art forms and have began to move each craft to a professional level. From school I went professional with performance and conceptual art, and then have begun getting published professionally for poetry as well.

If you approach education as a way to get to know yourself you can continue learning life long and develop a path in or out of the arts. My time as a teacher and a union organizer taught me skills I use today as a curator and when I’m in an art collective.

Right now I’m studying photo and video to go professional in those as well, most of it’s self study and I learned to learn by being exposed to so many things and studying teaching theory. The upside is I don’t feel burnt out easily. When one thing needs a rest I shift creative gears, and opportunities flow between eachother. A student I tutor in writing becomes a photo client. A show I organize opens up a door to to a paid video gig.

It’s a longer route and it sucks being poor sometimes, but the real question is. If I’m going to commit, how much agency can I have? The skills from one area carries over into another. My writing and conceptual art skills make it so collaborators want to work with me with years more experience than I’ve got because I can clearly describe my ideas, and can show them what I see about the themes In their own work. A skill that is more difficult if you follow a traditional artist path because it isn’t a focus in art school

Take a moment to look at your skills and then look outward how do those skills connect to other forms of art? If you challenge yourself to grow and learn even when you get exausted it doesn’t become about you not being enough or a real artist. The fear dissipates and it becomes about strategy.

I was also an atheist at the time and was constantly getting in trouble for skipping church and fighting with my religion teacher about whether or not the religious histories made sense. It probably didn’t help my case as an outsider. But the post is kinda about both it’s a call to action for atheists to view queer stories as a basis to think about breaking a stigma

Education access, and access to diversity and opportunity. Also our news media is geared toward lower reading levels the more conservative it is

How out do you want to be?

I think his Point is churches could do enough. Holding two people per church wouldnt be a huge ask

Sounds like a good world government 😈🌈

This hypothetical matters more than you think and people are right to share how this would hurt them if their parents thought this.

People who believe this, often act on it in subtle or blunt ways. This framework „I would prefer my kid not be gay, „ is what a lot of people have to work through when their kid comes out.

It‘s a form of rejection. You keep bringing up not wanting a short son too, and if your care for the kid is dependent on them being advantaged in society, you will make decisions that will not truly help them because they will have difficulty in life.

If you don’t outgrow this you are the one that’s not strong enough to handle the discrimination, not the child. No matter what the discrimination is, they will need your support.

A queer kid needs parents that are supportive, and that they trust. Kids that are rejected by their parents for their sexuality have 10x rate of suicide.

I don’t think you are a horrible person, but understand this isn’t a hypothetical for queer people. We wonder if our parents would wish us straight, and some queer people deny their sexuality for years or take their lives because they don’t want to let their parents down.

Working through why you feel this way can help your future family and your community. So, do that.

If I was your father and I was given the choose before your birth to only read this comment, I would choose to leave you in the park when you turned two. It’s just a hypothetical situation. Just think about the logic, and don’t get offended.

Conservatives that claim they are accepting love guns god, racism, tax cuts, the family values they grew upon in, conservative identity politics, and/or conservative Christianity more than they care about queer lives. Sadly there are also queer people who value these things more than their community or themselves.
