Allegraforchrist - ⚔️🌸📖

A humbling experience to the verse, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” is when you get on fire for the Lord during a small praise and worship session at night, only for you to go to bed and then lay awake until the sun rises because your spirit is literally burning while your body is starving for sleep… I just read my Bible at night now.

me reading my Bible:

I mean if we're really getting into it, most problems with people creating stories to critique Christianity boil down to either a. They do absolutely zero research and think "why do bad things happen" is unanswerable for anyone who believes in a fundamentally good deity, b. They assume that the religious beliefs of two churches in Missouri run by an abusive pastor are the religious beliefs of 3 billion people, or c. They're actually critiquing cultural systems which utilize Christianity to uphold oppression (good! Critique that!) but they conflate that with the religion itself which often leads back to the first two points, meaning they make factually incorrect statements about actual religious teachings and approach faith as inherently evil (wrong! Read the Book!)

I do believe you can write a story critiquing faith or religious systems or religion and do it well but unfortunately 90% of the time this is how people do it. Which is poorly done and useless.
