@tunguszka20 ! Though I'm an (ex-catholic, I have my reasons) sorry if I conveyed myself wrong, what I was trying to say is that Jesus was all about forgiveness and redemption, and to try to do good whenever you can, and if you sinned but repent then you can be absollved, what is awful is extremismo and peer-preassure.

Thank you so much for your time and for writing this beautiful post! Really it's so enjoyable been able to have civilized conversations with people like you, and your point is clear and is really beautiful. I have met christians like you but my enviorement wasn't so progressive and yadayada...

What I try to say is I admire your way of defending and cherishing your point of view, it has been a pleasure and sorry if my last post didn't conveyed my true intentions.

I hope you have a good day/ night!.

Look, we joke a lot, but really, "you were born evil, wretched, worse than the scum of the earth, and it took killing a god to make you salvageable, so now you'd better be grateful to that god and thank him 10,000 times a day for it and fill your thoughts with him 24/7 and abide by the letter of his every word, lest you suffer unimaginable torture for all of eternity" is a truly horrendous thing to believe about yourself and other people

I don't know which makes me happier, the beautiful display of linguistic instinct regarding the semantic sensitivities of context (lexical and human), or the recognition of what I believe to be one of the biggest plagues on modern human thought: the inability to allow other people a different identity and point of view.

Lmao you’re an adult, you shouldn’t be using the word squick. Use trigger. Use your grown up adult words to explain how you feel instead of leaning on a cutesy uwu term that no one outside of tumblr uses. It’s embarrassing.

Idek if this is serious or ironic honestly
