@thegardeningtheologian: How might Christianity breed a culture that devalues consent? I quote my friend @mjivoryjr in this video as he has some powerful views about how the church frames the Holy Spirit through a culture of non-consent. #religion #society #inclusion #politics #culture original video by @cee jayy on TikTok! (Sorry I had the wrong tag before!) Their stuff is awesome! Go follow them!
My daughter has cerebral palsy and cannot speak. I literally had someone tell me my daughter was going to burn in hell because she's "unable to confess with her mouth" and she has the devil in her, or she wouldn't be disabled.

I was thinking the other day about how a teenage Mary could not have consented for the holy spirit to "rest on her" and impregnate her. the whole premise is based on non consent.

Me politely saying, "No thank you," to a religious pamphlet instead of accepting it out of guilt and carrying it around for days, months, or even years before finally throwing it away... that's growth. 😂

Self abandonment is necessary for salvation. It’s so deep. Not my will but yours etc, die to self…. So the lack of consent is also projection.

They’re like salesmen. Salesmen are taught to never take “no” as an answer. (Very predatory)

Wow… really? I’m shocked. This is the first time in my 51 years anyone has ever suggested Christianity may be problematic? Oh, I might hyperventilate…

Seriously because tell me why my youth group thought it was a good idea to drop a bunch of 1516 and 17 year-old kids in the middle of New York City and tell them to go preach on the streets we almost got shot. We literally just turned down one random road and we were in a bad Bad bad spot. Like how did they not know that you walk into the wrong place and you start trying to preach that Jesus stuff and you will get shot they are not going to care.

I would send this to my brother but then he would tell me I just need to be saved and he'll pray for me

Any belief system that uses emotional manipulation (guilt, submission, self-doubt, fear) to secure obedience and participation cannot be healthy for society

My father is a pastor. I have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life. As an adult I talked about that with my dad, who told me I just didn’t have enough faith. When I fully left the church, both of those struggles almost completely disappeared.

The way anyone posts about a chronic illness and people get in the comments like “in Jesus name you are cured” like, fuck out of here, and do you really think that did anything??

Hit them with Matthew 6:1, where Jesus says: "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven."
