RELIGION

So I’m a Catholic…but I’m also queer and alt. Yea :/

Am I the only one that gets really pissed off when people don’t get that the bible and most religious texts are supposed to be interpreted in your own way, and the main purpose of them is to help you be a better person with good morals!!! I feel like SOME (SOMEEEE SOME SOME) people in my *OPINION* use their religion as an excuse to be homophobic, racist, and everything under that umbrella!!! Idk that just really pisses me off because it defeats the whole purpose of “love thy neighbor” and defeats the whole purpose of having good morals and being a good person

Sorry I’m bad at putting my feelings into words- but like do yall get what I’m saying?? T-T IF YOU DONT AGREE DONT ARGUE WITH ME ‼️‼️😾

Minori	2 weeks ago (edited) Report I'm also a Christian, an evangelical. I agree with you when you say they use the Bible as an excuse. Like, if you don't agree, just go on with your life. What others choose to live doesn't interfere with my life or anyone else's! Exactlyyy!! Like just because you interpret the bible in a hateful way doesn’t mean you need to force it on me T-T by 𝓴𝓲𝓻𝓪_𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓪𝔀𝓫𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂; 2 weeks ago (edited); Report
Razzmatazz	2 weeks ago (edited) Report I hate that it also makes us Christians look bad. We are supposed to love each other. Instead you see people all over just arguing. It's not supposed to be that way at all. You can tell someone when they are doing something wrong but don't discriminate or judge them. I am pretty sure there is a line in the Bible that says God is the judge. Not saying people can't be punished on earth for being vile, but that when people do sin it is not up to us. I don't really think that all sins are equally bad. Lying is 100% different from committing a crime like stealing or murder. Sure they can all = death but they are not on the same level. There are some things we just simply let God deal with. I wouldn't wish karma on anyone, but let God handle it. Pretty sure that is what the Bible means with that scripture, but it is just the way I see it. I think we as Christians should share our point of view of the Bible, to give others more perspective and understanding. Bible studies are pretty sick! Yes yes yesss!! by 𝓴𝓲𝓻𝓪_𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓪𝔀𝓫𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂; 2 weeks ago (edited); Report Exactly. It is up to God to judge. We Christians should only welcome and love. by Minori; 2 weeks ago (edited); Report
topaz	2 weeks ago (edited) Report ur so right!! another queer Christian here with a deep interest in theology—religion is literally all about interpretation. so many schools of thought and theory (like queer and feminist Christian theory) exist within institutionalized religion that people on the outside forget about. there’s an entire academic field of study surrounding religion for a reason! the misunderstandings suck but we know the truth that God loves us as we are and that’s what truly matters at the end of the day :) Exactly!! 💕💕 by 𝓴𝓲𝓻𝓪_𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓪𝔀𝓫𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂; 2 weeks ago (edited); Report
M8sFavDiscordFemboy	2 weeks ago (edited) Report I agree with you! I'm atheist but at school I have a classmate who will just burge in my conversations with my friend whenever we are talking about anything queer and he'll start talking about how it's wrong according to his belief and therefore he must always and automatically be right and um... I'm not sure that's how it works. GENUINELY!!! T-T people like that make the religion look bad :/ some people just need to learn how to let other people live their own lives and have their own beliefs! by 𝓴𝓲𝓻𝓪_𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓪𝔀𝓫𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂; 2 weeks ago (edited); Report
Yr_Local_Filbist🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧	2 weeks ago (edited) Report omg I see what you mean thoo. im a trans gay kid and I'm also Atheist (I don't rlly believe in a god) but other people will assume that I'm a satanist and try to force me into religion by saying "oh queer=sin" its so exhausting T^T I have catholic friends but it will still be "oh you just hate my bc I'm religious" lil bro idc who's religious or not I'm js trying to pass as male for the day P.S. not trying to invalidate you by making this abt myself yr post is just so relatable lol Ur so fr I feel ya bro by M8sFavDiscordFemboy; 2 weeks ago (edited); Report lmao ur okay!! Thanks for sharing !! by 𝓴𝓲𝓻𝓪_𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓪𝔀𝓫𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂; 2 weeks ago (edited); Report Also with the fallacy of "u will h8 me cuz I'm religious" that's such a lie. Historically queer people have been given horrible garbage treatment: Be it discrimination, being put away from families, jail, or even death. After all those centuries of such unbearable agony, we wouldn't just pay that back because most queers have experienced something like that firsthand and would probably want nobody or very few people to suffer this much. by M8sFavDiscordFemboy; 2 weeks ago (edited); Report EXACTLY. like, I have more things to worry about like uh, lemme think, maybe the MASS GENOCIDE THATS TRYING TO BE COMMITED?? yea I don't think I have time to hate on religion if I could just be a decent person and get through the day ✌ by Yr_Local_Filbist🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧; 2 weeks ago (edited); Report Yeah, there's homicides being committed and they expect us to surrvive a bullet or stay off guard or stop caring about getting our literal rights back in some countries. And decide that rights don't mean crap to us and that we have hundreds of years to live to pay back everything done to us in the past...Not how it works, bud by M8sFavDiscordFemboy; 2 weeks ago (edited); Report Also forgot 2 mention I really like your profile layout surrealism goes hard by M8sFavDiscordFemboy; 2 weeks ago (edited); Report
