Witchcraft and atheism are kind of at odds with each other aren’t they?
SASS witches are a thing. They keep the aesthetic and treat rituals / spells as sneaky ways to condition the brain.
yes. I am a secular, apostate tarot reader. There is absolutely no “magic” in my Magick.
Christianity most certainly does not teach self love.
Isn’t the whole premise about you being guilty by default?
If anything, it teaches self-hate with demands that you not have basic neurological and biological impulses. My questioning began with “how the fuck am I supposed to not covet?”
I learned self-love from antidepressants and my atheist wife after growing up Christian.
I found self love thru Cinemax
Catholic enters the chat: What’s this about god teaching self love?
Religion teaches you self-love via hating everyone who you don’t think gets to go to your heaven. God isn’t involved in that, and never asked for anyone to do so, kinda explicitly forbade it even (at least in christianity). 🤷♀️
Christianity teaches you to hate and dehumanize yourself. That you’re just a lowly gentile born inherently evil and you must forever repent for merely existing. Even Jesus likened a gentile woman to a dog in the new testament. Matthew 15:21-28
With their family anyways, they don’t ‘hate’ a child who turns away. They still love the kid, but their religion teaches them that if they truly love them, they must do anything to make them come back to their religion - even abuse them hoping the kid breaks down and ‘repents.’ That’s how twisted their doctrine is. It makes them commit atrocities in the name of love. And their blind to it, because even when others point out how evil their abuse is, the doctrine teaches them that others will call “‘good’ (abuse) evil and ‘evil’ (acceptance) good.” They truly believe they’re helping. They believe that if their child is ‘going to hell,’ any amount of trauma and abuse with even a change of preventing that is justified. It’s not the people, it’s the ideology. The very fundamentals of Christianity justify literally anything to convert a soul. It is fundamentally evil, all the way back to the moment Jesus died. Anything that claims to be better is no longer Christianity.
My source: The story of my life. A story of abuse and pain, of seeing my loving mother become a monster when I left the church. Forcing me to leave my unbelieving friends. Controling every part of my mind and beliefs to ‘save’ me. And seeing the atrocities that I committed under that same doctrine, and how I was blinded by it.
This needs to end. Christianity must die. Call me an extemist, but until the moment that Christan doctrine is killed, burned, and scattered, it will never cease to turn more innocent, loving people - even my own mother - into monsters blinded by their evil.
It’s funny because they’re a cat now.
Christians prefer things they can’t see, right?
I found self-love through exercise and not being an asshole!
