I’m a Christian and I feel like everyone around me is just virtue signaling
I hate it sm it’s 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 “beautiful” life
We’re all dirty little human beings let’s stop pretending we’re 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 isn’t 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 God’s 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 people’s souls from an eternity in hell. and i believed it all so earnestly.
i’m learning but it’s 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 people’s needs.
it also took me until 30 to realize i’m queer because i had so much homophobia and purity culture to deconstruct before i could safely see myself.

I grew up Catholic, def not practicing anymore which is another story for another day.…
Anyway, I still like to use the “what would Jesus do?“ as a basic guiding principle.
Supposedly Jesus was this unconditionally all-loving, forgiving, supportive dude who worked with sinners/people who needed help and could perform cool miracles. He was kind and accepting, not judging others or smiting them to hell. He rolled with everybody.
When I was 15, I had a dream that Jesus invited me to par-take in some cannabis with a group of folks and he was just super chill, nice, and welcoming. Random, but that’s how I like to imagine him.
It makes me sad how most organized Christianity religions use fear instead of love and kindness to spread their message.
Also, side note, anyone else think it’s weird that they made white Jesus so good looking? Are we supposed to be attracted to him as a tactic to enroll?

Met this girl in Cambodia that fights
She told me she used to box
Her father taught her
Her mother cried whenever she fought
Her mother wouldn’t cook them dinner when she was mad
She told me
“I am fierce as a tiger 🐯”
