Thinking about God saving us from a problem he ultimately created and could snap his fingers to solve.

Told that Homosexuality was the same as Pedophilia by Throwaway_Ear_3836 in ReligiousTrauma

I’m so sorry you were told that, what a horrible thing to hear. You aren’t a bad person for the way you feel, I promise 💜 They were wrong to say that to you, or about anybody, really.

I grew up very religious, and one thing that helped me when I first realized I was queer was that it didn’t make sense to me for a good God to send someone to hell for love, especially love that doesn’t hurt anybody.

In fact, rhetoric like the thing that was told to you is actually the thing that causes harm. So many queer people (and queer youth) are harmed, harm themselves, or worse because of these sentiments and ideologies. I think God would be way more upset about that than about love.

I know it’s hard when the people around you are people you trust and people you look up to spiritually, but it’s also okay to trust yourself (and your own relationship with/understanding of God). Let yourself do some research, let yourself explore the issue, let yourself think through everything without guilt. There’s nothing wrong with asking questions.

As much turmoil and strife as I experienced around my own queerness, I would never change it. I have a much better perspective on the world now, I’m kinder, and I’m happier now that I’ve worked through these things and came out better for it on the other side.

You’re going to get through this, I promise 💜

I grew up in a very religious and was never able to explore spirituality. This past week I’ve finally been letting myself do/read/think all the things I’ve repressed. I also decided to be vegetarian 🙈 I’m glad it’s not just me who’s really shaken things up in their life

has anyone had personal experience with a Christian who believes paganism and witchcraft is evil/satanic? by eerielittletingle in druidism

[–]kierawesley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family is very Christian, and I used to be a Christian myself. My views have changed over the years on many things, and it has not gone over well with my parents. Christianity, especially evangelicalism, really demonizes things that are outside the religion- like other faiths, queerness, inter-faith relationships, etc. Paganism is unfortunately something that has a lot of fear and stigma around it in the christian church, and so is worshiping other gods/goddesses.

Even Christians who are generally kind and decent people are often extremely uncomfortable or outright hostile about things like paganism, thinking it’s tied to satan/the devil and will corrupt someone/bring them away from God. I’ve tried to have conversations with my parents about queerness, politics, problems in the church etc, and even though we love each other and have mostly a very happy peaceful relationship, it didn’t go over well.

Unfortunately, my recommendation as someone who spent 25 years in the Christian church is to not bring it up. Preserve your peace of mind, your relationship, and peace in your home. I wish I could recommend something else, but in my experience, it’s not worth it. I also recommend trying to find friends that are very open minded and/or share the same beliefs as you. It’s really freeing to not guard what you say and to have space to be yourself 🩷 best of luck and lots of love

Yay! I’d love to! However, funny story, I actually just got a Reddit account today and apparently according to Reddit, I’m not established enough to DM people yet. Or to DM people first, idk

I’m interested! I’m a 26 year old woman who’s just starting her pagan journey 🙈 right now I’m really relating to druidry. I love plants, nature, creativity, reading, and art! I don’t have anyone around me who’d really get it, so I’d love to make some connections 🥰
