that case about that man drugging his wife, raping her and recruiting 72 men to rape her as well will always stick with me. 30% of men approached by the man offering to give them an opportunity to rape Gisèle turned him down, but 0% turned him in.
“natural protectors.” that’s what we’re supposed to believe men are. we are supposed to keep ourselves small and weak and helpless, perpetual damsels in distress, all so that some fictional big strong man can feel really good about himself if he protects us from a bad situation.
but if that’s true - if men really are biologically wired to feel a desire to protect people more physically vulnerable than them - how is it possible that you can get that many men to agree to rape a woman? how can the men who were approached to take part in it, but declined, not report him to the police?
how many of the men who took part in it have daughters, wives, sisters, mothers that they’ve hurt?
they get so fucking mad whenever we suggest we feel unsafe around them rather than protected, but they never have that same level of vitriol for the men who make it clear that they are our predators, not our protectors.
If you ever find yourself in public with an obnoxious Christian that is trying to pray for an audience, just hit ‘em with the Matthew 6:5 quote:
And when you pray, you should not be like the hypocrites, who love standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets to pray, so that they may be seen by men.
Socializing with non-apostates is odd. Like they're just chilling and meanwhile your internal monologue is like
I need to tell you immediately it'll never come up please ask more questions it doesn't matter you think I'm a freak you don't even care I need you to understand it's impossible to explain I was raised in a cult I'm literally so normal.
im sorry reddit made atheism cringe for your or whatever but i'd take an annoying atheist over a weirdo esoteric christofascist any day
Actually, ex-Christians have earned the right to make fun of Christianity. It comes free with the religious trauma.
frequently thinking about how god decided off the cuff that people should all speak different languages and therefore become divided culturally and interpersonally because if we managed to successfully organize and work together we would eventually reach and defeat him. OG fascist.
i feel like having religious trauma from mormonism is so fucking lame. like at least other branches of christianity have cool imagery like rosaries and stained glass windows. wtf am i supposed to romanticize, Joseph Smith? Family home evening? That one very specific painting of Jesus that every mormon knows?
