Iām a Christian and I feel like everyone around me is just virtue signaling
I hate it sm itās so hard to live like this
Everybody should just be honest and talk about the good AND horrible things they do
I hate this fake ābeautifulā life
Weāre all dirty little human beings letās stop pretending weāre so virtuous
Christian culture must change toward real if it wants the youth

I think this new trend of people pretending to be catholic or whatever is dumb. You can tell who didnt grow up in a religious environment vs those who grew up in some insane godless upper middle class household where one parent was barely present cause they was working so hard to make six figures a year. Religion isnāt some aesthetic for clout, but rather a personal set of beliefs to keep oneself balanced.

i love my family and my parents did so many things right with us, but it was scary and confusing as a child to hear such mixed messages about Godās mercy and wrath. i had a lot of rapture anxiety (still do sometimes) and often feel like i'm never doing enough for the world. i was a missionary kid, so i was raised with an urgency to literally save peopleās souls from an eternity in hell. and i believed it all so earnestly.
iām learning but itās hard to let myself make mistakes without fear of judgment or punishment. and to feel worthy of rest. and to be needy instead of always meeting other peopleās needs.
it also took me until 30 to realize iām queer because i had so much homophobia and purity culture to deconstruct before i could safely see myself.

I stopped going to church several years ago and knew several years before that I didnāt belong there. For a while I was able to block it all out and run from it but thereās a lot coming to the surface now. I think Iām at a point now where I feel safe enough to feel all the things I suppressed and itās overwhelming. All the fear and shame and the ways I betrayed myself to please others and all the stupid shit I did in the name of Jesus. I regret it all.
