@WandererShinji @Virgurilla You assumed as well that my questions “could be answered by a quick google search”, which lets face it, is not something on the internet we tell people we assume to be educated. Keep your faith to yourself unless asked directly.

@WandererShinji @Virgurilla I’m not reading +. You started by assuming my choice of leaving the church was based in ignorance, that it could be changed, and then proceeded to tell me to ask you questions, that I would have no doubts. That may seem friendly to you, but it is exactly what I’m referring to.

@WandererShinji @Virgurilla *side by side

@etheralfem Forgetting too that a lot of people think GTA is a messed up game… it’s not universally accepted?? Just because something is mainstream doesn’t mean it is what you should base your world view on. Wtf??

@moniza_hossain Oh wow. That’s shameful. I get defending her as a “good person overall”, but that shouldn’t absolve her of fault. It’s pressure from fans that would make the most impact on her decisions, not from other people who have no effect on her life.

@CaoiseoiseK I don’t really know what you mean by “private citizen issue” as that is not the definition of private citizen I used and I’m not familiar with others. That said, I never claimed she should be left unaccountable, I said she is the only person who currently is at a viral level.

@casslarose @moniza_hossain Lol I think it’s by design. I try to keep my social media usage to areas I know aren’t going to be overly horrible and the algorithm seems to have picked up on it lately. Though for Taylor I’ve been disappointed by the Gaylors who seem set on her publicly coming out as lesbian.🤦🏻‍♀️

@ask_aubry “I don’t think it’s fair” does not mean new options are available. What is this boy expecting to get from this?

@Sappho_Lovell @moniza_hossain Definitely agreed though that hardcore Taylor stans are scary. Tbh I’m not big on hardcore stans of anybody. A lot of stans definitely do show similarities to organized cult members or victims.

@Sappho_Lovell @moniza_hossain …sure, some might act in the way cult members or victims might, but I happen to have been a religious scholar that has studied cults in the past, and while it’s annoying, the example you give doesn’t fit the definition.

@Livia_Sploon @hornsonhalos Came to comments to reply “You.” This poll is awesome.

@FalconsQuill @hornsonhalos This

@Raven_Belladona Not trans, but thanks for the tip. I can’t have kids, and normally this is cool but sometimes it hurts that the choice was taken and I get down about it and need a reminder I don’t want them.

Most people (religious or non-religious) don’t actually know what the word religion even covers and/or means. They then form opinions on what religion is based on their own experiences rather than education.

@Virgurilla Same! I was taking classes for confirmation and child me was not having questions about “plotholes” answered when I raised concerns. When a kid can poke holes in a lessons that the teacher can’t account for, something is wrong with the lesson.

@Sappho_Lovell @moniza_hossain It’s the same thing with anything that people are used to being mocked for. After awhile sitting around listening to people bashing your interests is frustrating. It sounds a lot more hostile than you might intend.
