Your gateway to endless inspiration
I find it increasingly difficult to put effort into convincing people I'm still a believer.
It used to be a normal and subconscious process for me. You just say what you know you're supposed to and that's the way you will always be. It was casual survival. Now, I'm outgrowing this persona. I feel more and more like an individual who can actively have their own thoughts without guilt, and then having to turn around and restrict that hurts. I spend so much of my time having to listen to their drivel and act like I agree, despite the now obvious logical fallacies and bigotry.
I don't know how much longer I can even let the mask i show my family "be molded by Jehovah".
Kids who were called "one of the most deep spiritual thinkers I've seen" by their pastors are all apostates now
In the country i live in, christianity is not the dominant religion, and it’s pretty crazy how the christians always mention religious freedom when another religion tries to convert them, yet the same people would then go around harassing non-christians and trying to convert them.
The worst part is they always target people who are at a low point in their life where they’re desperate and vulnerable. Not surprised though, the bible basically told them to force others to convert under the belief that they’re “saving” people from the eternal abyss of hell or whatever.
I also find it weird how hypocritical they are in general and not just on this specific manner, like how they cherry pick which rules to follow on the bible, like not getting tattoos for example and then they go off wearing mixed fabric (which is apparently forbidden.)
Religious conservatives love talking about trans people “mutilating their genitals” and then go off to circumcise their children without their consent 😇
Private celebration in my bedroom during a voice call with friends ended when i got forced to attend church for the new years. How memorable. What a terrific way to start the new years. Please do keep preaching about eternal torture while everyone else is having the time of their lives.

With this blog, i post and reblog topics related to severing my ties with god and religion.
Growing up as religious, I was taught that my purpose is to get married, reproduce, and increase the population of believers, which i reject.
I’m on a journey to find meaning through philosophy and celibacy, without needing to depend on relationships or religion to have purpose in life and find individuality.
