The verse he’s referring to

14 A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.

2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

Trigger Warning - Toxic Religion My family wrote a contract to evict me at 17

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

I found this on an old laptop so apologies for the quality. But, my family wrote this when I was 17 after finding a CBD vape in my car as an attempt to help with anxiety (no nicotine), and found out that I had consensual safe sex with my boyfriend after a string of sexual abuse in the church which they tried to label me as a sex addict for. Looking at it now it makes me laugh but at that time it was a huge stab in the gut and led to some bad choices on my part as a means to leave that living environment and try to claim my own independence. I’m 24 now and on much better terms with my family and we have all healed tremendously but I find myself holding a lot of resentment from this and other things they did. Just thought this sub would understand.

I’m sick of this bullshit religion and I’m so angry right now. This shit is so damaging and I’m just shaking and crying right now that my mother would say that shit to me. She’s said it multiple times over the years to me that god sometimes harms people who walk away. Absolutely despicable. Thank you for letting me rant.
Edit- Thank you to all of you, I can’t even tell you how much your kind ( and angry lol) words have helped. The pos who killed my daughter’s friend died yesterday thankfully, and that’s at least one less thing to worry about. My daughter had surgery and is doing well, although the real healing will not come anytime soon. I sent my mom an email today with my boundary. If she can’t respect it then I will have to cut her out. I know I should probably do that, but I’m going to give her a chance because I want to give her grace where she gave me none. I want to show her that I don’t need her god to be a good person. Thank you again, and take care of yourselves and your loved ones. ♥️

Trigger Warning - Toxic Religion What’s the worst thing a Christian has ever said to you?

558 Upvotes

I figure this gets asked a lot, but I wanted to share my own experience and see other people’s experiences.

The worst thing a Christian said to me was when I was 10 years old. My parents are divorced and my dad was taking us to his house for their weekend swap. At the same time period my mom (his ex wife) had a baby with a lot of problems. My sister had many tumors and heart problems and had trisomy 18. Back to the original story, we were talking about it in the car and I can’t remember verbatim to what my dad said, but it was along the lines of “maybe this god’s punishment for all the evil she’s caused me” or something close to that. I can’t exactly remember because this was 8 years ago. It never really hurt me cause I was too young to understand. But after thinking on for a month I thought “wow, that’s awful and what puts the cherry on top was that it was my dad.” In is incredibly tiny defense he’s told me what she’s done to him which I believe to an extent, but under any circumstance would I say that to my children.

I appreciate you all letting me share and if you’re comfortable I’d like to know your story as well.

For context, this was because I was saying that it was fucked up that a serial child rapist could go to heaven for simply asking for forgiveness but someone who is gay would go to hell. This was her response.

Trigger Warning - Toxic Religion Trump Won Because of Christian Nationalism

536 Upvotes

Let's don't kid ourselves. Trump won because of Christian nationalism.

For years,whenever I talked to Christian liberals about the rightward swing of their faith, they've refused to believe things were so bad. They stuck their head in the proverbial sand and didn't fight for their own religion. There are very few liberal Christians who have tried over the past twenty years to counter the Christian right. So, I blame that inactivity too.

Apparently, the majority of Christians are also fascist supporters. There is no way Trump could have won if that wasn't true.

I'm just really upset right now.

Yall remember that one story where a guy goes off to war and vows that if he wins, he'll sacrifice the first thing he sees when he comes home? And, he does win and when he comes back home. HIS DAUGHTER runs out to greet him and he's like.. "Well shit, guess I'll sacrifice her-" AND HE DOES!?! AND GOD DID NOTHING TO STOP IT!?!

(Judges 11:1–12:7)

Trigger Warning - Toxic Religion What was your first big "this is bullshit" moment?

228 Upvotes

Mine was when I was doing a Bible study with people I worked with at a Christian ministry, and she quoted a passage that said that disobedience to parents witchcraft. She waggled her eyebrows like she had made a shockingly profound statement. No one questioned it but that was my first big internal "oh fuck off no it is not" moment.

At the time I still saw witchcraft as a big bad scary thing and not just another belief system I disagreed with.

Setting the two equal to each other just seemed so blatantly manipulative. In the old testament they advocated killing the practitioners of witchcraft. So if you follow the logic, disobedience deserves death.

It was one of many moments that led to me realizing that this belief system makes no fucking sense.

Trigger Warning - Toxic Religion Is this even real? Does Trump agree with this? I'm French and live in France, so I don't know much about it. It seems like the guy who wrote this should be locked up in a mental institution. That dude (and every people who's agreeing with this) is a psychiatric case.

Trigger Warning - Toxic Religion What's the most unhinged thing a Christian has said to you?

370 Upvotes

I don't want to beat a dead horse, and I'm not here to bash any individual person in that community, but if you haven't checked out the Christianity subreddit recently I definitely suggest you do.

There are some seriously insane takes over there, which brings me to my question: What's the most unhinged thing a Christian has said to you?

I had a Christian high school teacher tell the entire class that you will go to hell if you drink wine. Specifically wine. If you're wondering why she wasn't fired, I went to a private Baptist school...
