people somehow always take the worst aspects from religion without taking any of the actual teachings. at this point religion has been pretty thoroughly ruined for me.

bring back the goddesses! i feel the same way about the abrahamic religions and that’s why i’m spiritual. i also know a few people who work with deities like Aphrodite or Hekate and have altars for them. as a woman, connecting with the divine feminine has given me more faith than main stream religion ever could. i will never worship a man. you should look into other forms of spirituality <3

i’m catholic, and i completely understand your point. a lot of the translations of the bible are deeply misogynistic because of the people translating them, especially the king james version. i understand and recognize that, which unfortunately a lot of people in my religion don’t. there are also so many badass women in the bible who get completely ignored which is super annoying! these woman saved their people and they get skipped over!

any time i start to find comfort in catholicism again i remind myself of the ways it’s been used to reinforce the subjugation of women and it snaps me out of it LOL

the modesty talk honest to god gives me the heebie jeebies with the way i’ve seen ADULT MEN call literal children immodest for showing their hair or legs (if they’re wearing shorts or a swimsuit)… EUGH it just reeks of pedophilic rape culture to me ☹️

i thought god was real and i thought i was gonna burn in hell for being queer 😭. that shit ruined like 16+ years of my life and i've spent the last 6-7 just undoing the damage the best i can.

it's just very frustrating. if there's one thing i'd take from my experience being religious it's that Jesus would hate a lot of his current day "supporters".

jael killed an enemy general when he slept in her tent for the night. judith beheaded the general of the army that was surrounding her city. the point of these stories is to not underestimate women and then people in my religion go and underestimate us anyway.

The original languages are incredible misogynistic as well. Because it was written by people to harm others and gain control. 93-103 named women, compared to almost 2000 men.

and i’m happy for you! if religion isn’t your thing, i respect that! i don’t go to mass anymore. yeah, sure, some people will call me not a real catholic, but my belief that that my faith is between me and God.

and that sucks. i think the bible should be taken for it’s morals, like “love others” and not literally. growing up, the stories of the badass women were literally all i had (all the tv shows i was allowed to watch didn’t have main character women) as so i think about them a lot.

i understand that!! my original comment wasn’t disagreeing with you in any way. i also wish people would understand and accept criticism. nothing that involves humans is perfect, and that includes organized religion

and also thank your for telling me that! i always though it was the translations are misogynistic, not the original language.
