I’m really coming to loathe these “you don’t hate religion, you hate Christianity” posts. 90% of the time whatever bad practice is under discussion is at least substantially prevalent in large parts of Islam, and often in Hinduism and some of the more reactionary strains of Buddhism and Judaism as well.
Misogyny and homophobia are not unique to Christianity, nor are blind dogmatism or violent intolerance of other faiths. Christianity is certainly responsible for the lion’s share of religious oppression in America, but as it turns out there are places in the world that are not America.
No tags because what the actual fuck?
Yes, the mythology fandom won’t wish death or eternal torture upon someone because of their mythology, unlike christians.
It's a lot easier to deal with Christians around Christmas when you start thinking about the religion as mythology.
Treat the stories the same way we treat Greek or Roman mythology.
Christians are just all part of the Jesus fandom.
We've been through the "Gold Star Lesbian" spam asks, as well as the amegaotaku/rekka007 ones, and it seems that the new copypasta spam ask everyone is receiving is one where people are asked what they think of Joyofsatan.org, claiming them to be "the largest Satanist organization in the world."
These asks are mostly sent to users who frequently talk about the occult and/or witchcraft, feminist bloggers, and Jewish users, with the message slightly altered for each person it's sent to. Here are the two most common variations of the ask:
"What do you think of Joyofsatan.org? They claim to follow the Pagan Goddess Lilith/Lalitha, they’re pro-choice and they’re the largest Satanist group in the world." <- This one also occasionally includes "they support women's rights" after "they're pro-choice." This also seems to be the most commonly sent ask.
"What do you think of Joyofsatan.org? They claim to follow the Sumerian God Enki-Satan and they’ve become the largest Satanist group in the world."
Although these asks are usually sent on anon, they're also sent by the burner account 88643468, presumably to bypass anyone who has anon asks turned off, so I suggest blocking that account, especially if you have anon asks turned off.
Now, the reason you should delete these asks, instead of engaging, is because the Joy of Satan Ministries in question is a Neo-Nazi group, as detailed on the Wikipedia page I just linked, and these asks appear to be a recruiting tactic, going by the types of users most commonly spammed with the asks, and how the asks are re-worded depending on who they're sent to; instead of a singular copypasta that gets sent to everyone, it's variations of the copypasta that are each targeted towards a different demographic.
So please, please, don't engage, just delete the asks and block the 88643468 account, and if someone you follow answers one of these asks, urge them to delete their post and to block the 88643468 account for extra measure. Right now is also a good time to disable anonymous asks, or even take it a step further and only allow asks from people you follow, just in case 88643468 isn't the only burner account.
Some Christians always forget about this. Just because YOU have the freedom to worship God/Jesus doesn’t mean you should push those beliefs on others who don’t want to follow Christianity or use Christianity as an excuse to create laws that restrict people from living their best life.
All religions can’t be right.
But they can all be wrong.
jesus may not love me but he does want to fuck me so checkmate catholics
