" My God, My God! Why has Thou Forsaken Me? "
—Psalm 22:1
Being religious, (Catholic) now I see how hypocritical and One sided I was when I was an Pagan, Atheist and Satanist back in 2020—2023. However I don't blame myself for thinking that way, I grew up in my Grandparents Southern Baptist Church while living with them and they were very strict. They made us go to church every Sunday and would use belts against us if we messed up in school (at one point We went to Baptist School but I got kicked out). Since ten years old I was (what I think now) Agnostic. I didn't know if there was a God and I didn't care if there was one or not. I was like any other normal kid, I played outside with the other kids and did normal kid things.
But In 2020, I have changed. This was during the pandemic when I changed my identity rapidly and my opinions rapidly. I used to be Agnostic but In 2020 I began to be interested in my mother's practice which was Wicca or Witchcraft. I started worshipping Odin in 2021 and during that time I began to be critical of Christianity, why? Well, I think because of my Grandmother's church. The church isn't bad, I never had any beatings or negative experiences but living with your strict Southern Baptist Grandparents it makes you think that ALL of Christianity is like this and therefore bad. I Generalized all Christians to be these pushy, know it all, holier than thou people who wants YOU to be Christian. I stereotyped Christians to all be Homophobic , Transphobic, Racist, All the Bigoted things.
This view of Christians and Christianity blinded me, Yit made me one sided and Hypocritical. Because I was A Pagan, Defending Islam and Judaism but only Criticizing Christianity because of my bad experiences.
And I think this is a common problem on the Left among these progressive Atheists/Agnostics/Pagans, is they defend Islam, They speak out against this Hatred of Muslims and Jews but turn around and assume all Christians are These Evangelical Homophobic, Transphobic, Racist Bible Forcing Zealots.
Of course not all atheists Think like this, it's most, who criticize one religion but defend the other, Who, due to personal experiences will demonize and generalize a whole religion because of a small but loud minority.
But don't let your bad experiences become bias, don't let your bad experiences become hypocrisy like I let my bad experience become bias and hypocrisy.
Don't fall for the hive mind and don't let others think for you. Don't follow the herd, Be a Skeptic all you want but think for yourself, have your own thoughts and do your own thesis. Being a Skeptic is all about being a critical thinker, not about having a bias like everyone else.
This may not make sense for all, But some will understand.

The Bible said In Genesis that Man and Women are made in the Image of God, Thus equal I don't know which verse you're quoting but can you please give context?
following some liberal/progressive christian blogs on here is like will i see some profound insight into the nature of God or straight heresy
and then following conservative christian blogs is like will i see something that upholds tradition and is spiritually edifying or will i see someone who thinks women shouldn't have rights
Same with wicca, I used to be wiccan but I'm not however nobody deserves to have their religion mocked. I don't know what's everyone's problem in this community with religion..
Y'all want proof, here
This is what I have because I can't get access to the gc again
tumblr staff shouldn't help these types if blogs, blatantly using a real world issues to take money from the good souls wanting to help people. by doing nothing about the scamming problem, especially using Gaza, Palestine, Ukraine, Congo, and Sudan to take manipulate people and take their money

Yes this is the only thing that all of our family thought about it. Everyday we ask ourselves if we going to live anymore or not . Everyday in this cruel war we imagine one of us dead and feeling so sad about what will happen next day.
Now after the war all the building are destroyed here and there is no life around us please we need to evacuate 🙏🥺
Please help my kids and my family to evacuate from here. Gaza now is not for human being living we need you support to stand with 18 members of the family to travel to another place that could find some peace and start new life without wars. We live in many wars and we are so tired.
Please share for more people you know can help me and my family.
Can Online Pagans/Wiccans/Witches stop claiming that every Saint, Holiday, Tradition etc is Pagan? it's very annoying to hear "uhm AKHTSUALLY [Holiday/Holiday Tradition] is From [Pagan Holiday/Tradition]" or "Uhm AKHTSUALLY [Saint/Figure] is [Pagan God/Godess]" it's annoying and it's sometimes misinformation. Not everything has roots in Paganism.
The UN confirms there has been Sexual Violence on October 7th, Denial of any Sexual Violence on that day during the terrorist attack is rape denial and you should be judged.
Also from "Me too" to "Rape of jewish women can be excused as an act of palestinian resistance".
I know this is ragebait but it pisses me off
