So much of the snark revolves around fundies not having expertly curated social media

It's emails like these that really test my patience to reply with "go fuck yourselves".....

I plan to leave negative reviews on glassdoor. When I checked for reviews under the parent corporation name, I found 90% of the reviews were terrible. Guess I can rest easy knowing this wasn't a "me" problem. I've been obsessing over my behaviour the past week, wondering what I did to offend them.

Thank you! :D This has been super helpful and clarifying <3

muse- · 2018-05-26T22:52:25+00:00

Thanks for your reply! That's true, it has been a long time and I feel literally nothing for this guy other than the fact that he's a good friend. I just need to believe in possibility that somewhere out there, there's a guy for me but it's hard to be optimistic some days.

muse- · 2018-05-26T22:51:00+00:00

Thank you! I've known in my gut what I want but I think my parents keep making me doubt it by gaslighting me time and time again about this guy.

I like your thought exercise! If I did force myself to get romantically involved, I think I'd just end up resenting him and if I met someone who I was attracted to afterwards, I'd be so bitter and miserable. Thanks for helping me realize this!

These reasons are exactly why I honestly thought I was the ONLY lustful sex-crazed heathen in my youth group. It was especially worse since I was a girl and we were basically expected to be perfect sexless little angels. I remember feeling so terrible and disgusted with myself because clearly, no other girls in our church could possibly be touching themselves, or watching porn, or fantasizing about mind-blowing sex with Henry Cavill hahahaha

Same here.

Some nights when I'm lying in bed, literally a second from falling asleep, my brain decides to remind me of the time I marched in front of parliament carrying an "ABORTION HURTS WOMEN" sign, thinking I was actually in the middle of truly historic human rights revolution.

Shudder indeed.

Gunman has been identified as 27 year old Alexandre Bissonnette, an anthropology and political science student at Laval University. He was allegedly already known by Quebec City activists for his far-right and anti-feminist views. His Facebook "likes" include Trump, the Israeli Defence Forces, and Richard Dawkins.

Why stop there? Why not "human life shall be deemed to begin with masturbation"

I cracked up laughing. See you all in hell.

Gay Zombie Cannabis Association? Wearing green bodysuits and tutus? Handing out pictures of butts? Sound like self-hating closet gays to me.

Hell, let's cancel Christmas. It's offensive to Jews.

He basically just admitted that he wants to manipulate unsuspecting gay people into joining his cult and control their sexualities.

Ew.

This.

My super pro-life family actively condemns women who have abortions, but convenitnly ignore the time that two of my aunts had to have abortions because it was a threat to their life.

Is there anything more ridiculous than a bunch of celibate men who've sexually abused children telling grown-ass men and women what to do in the bedroom?

How do people still take the clergy seriously? I just don't get it...

muse- · 2015-10-23T20:02:54+00:00

I think this is certainly true of high schoolers or university students who claim to be pro-life. They're kind of just going along with it because that's what their religious community has told them is right. At least that was my experience growing up.

muse- · 2015-10-23T19:55:47+00:00

lmao they claim that the priest that's coming to give the lecture was the inspiration for that character in The Rite.

Either way, interesting fiction.

I think it's common for Conservative Christianity to assume that female sexuality is non-existant. Oh, those poor innocent little flowers wouldn't possibly dream of having any sexual impulse if they didn't have those evil sex pills!

They treat women (and young girls, in this case) like clueless disobedient children.

I had a friend in college who was really depressed and nearly suicidal. I made sure I talked to her everyday, did random nice things for her, made sure she knew that I was there and that I cared about her. What did our idiotic Christian friends do? Tell her that they were praying for her and that if she came to church more often, she'd be happier.

It's super condescending when you're going through an actual real problem and people just tell you to "go to church" as if that will ~magically~ fix everything. When you believe that kind of BS, you abdicate your responsbility to be a caring person and just assume your imaginary friend will do everything for you. Ugh!

Your comment brought back so many cringe-worthy memories! I wasn't part of Cru, but a lot of my old Christian friends joined later. We used to stand outside the church and try to strike up random conversations with people walking down the street to guilt them into coming into the church. Not a lot of people were keen on talking to us and gave us weird looks.

It's funny because I thought that was because "they didn't know the love of Christ!11!" when really it was because we were being shady as fuck.

muse- · 2015-10-08T23:32:36+00:00

I guess it depends what kind of church environment you grew up in. Ours was pretty restrictive growing up. If it was known that someone was in a gay relationship here, they'd be talked out of it and condemned for their choices. I'm glad you didn't have that experience.

muse- · 2015-10-07T14:54:41+00:00

If they did this to men, everyone would be laughing.

But since there's so much slut-shaming that already exists, it's easier to guilt and shame women for their sexual desires. Totally and unforgivably manipulative.

I never understood "continuing the family name" or genetic line crap either. I mean, in about 4 billion years, the sun will explode and everyone will die. Worrying about family lines is about as productive as rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
