In The Country I Live In, Christianity Is Not The Dominant Religion, And It’s Pretty Crazy How The

Demons are usually depicted as red to indicate that they’re heavily seasoned with paprika and chili powder, like a chorizo.

most of the time I think my religious trauma doesn't bother me anymore

last year I took a creative writing class

I had my narrator take the lord's name in vain once or twice

(I like to do it, now. now that I can.)

I didn't think altogether too much of it because my story wasn't about god at all

it was just about guilt guilt guilt

but my professor called attention to the way my narrator said god when they were angry

"almost like prayer," he said

almost like prayer.

People protect a woman who is burning her scarf

I am made of fire and you want to submerge me in water and call it a baptism and not a murder

Even if transgender people were all just delusional and mentally ill people who refused to accept scientific reality, they'd still deserve to be 100% accepted.

God isn't a scientific reality, but people who believe in God are accepted. They're even allowed to force their beliefs on children. Many even use their God as an excuse to hate. They frequently teach children that anyone who doesn't worship them goes to hell. Religious people are also regularly caught sexually abusing children.

Meanwhile, transgender people just want to exist and not be bullied for it. If you can accept religious people whose beliefs are much more farfetched, then you can easily accept transgender people. You're choosing not to.

i just got a call from my sis. She said morality police riding on motorcycles attacked her on the street and forced her into a van and kept her at a police station for hours and let her go just now. Her voice was quivering and she was shaken. Told me to be careful today on the streets. Said to wear something on my head so they won’t attack me as well. I am furious at how easily this fuckedup religion and this fuckedup regime reduce us into a quivering mess. Mere objects that they can so easily control and subdue. How we go from someone with a job and a life and family to a criminal they can attack and abuse and imprison. This is the true face of Islam. Not the pretty, cutesy one they show you in the west and you all fall for it. But this brutal, barbaric treatment of women who refuse to comply. It’s in the very text of quran. Please stop covering up the ugliness of organized religions and our daily suffering just to be ‘cool’ and liberal and polite. It’s always better to be informed and ‘smart’.

i find the trend of getting offended at goth people for wearing rosaries so funny because it’s like,,,,, how do you know they’re not ex-catholic? how do you know they’re not irish? or polish? or mexican? or italian?

you gonna tell them they can’t interact with imagery from their own culture? pls lmao.
