Holy stolen memes dumparooni, Oily Josh.

I grew up raised catholic.

I also am autistic, so things that are presented to me as fact that go against the logic previously given to me, I will refuse to accept.

I questioned everything.

To the point the padre at our church finally told me "The bible is just stories. Its not real. You are supposed to have faith god is there "

Why? I asked. He said it makes people feel better. I screwed up my face and said "Who?!"

Padre Gagnon, his breath smelt like the big cup.

You are still here, that means you are my kinda people or you love being angry at people who dont believe in a religious doctorine.

I mean, the story is he sent his kid to suffer and die so...playbook 'o life?

I mean...it's funny shit.

I admit. I'm a neuro nerd, still, I do not believe we are all knowing. Science proves that everyday...that's exactly what it's job is.

I know, I know...its a meme made of a fb post. Its also late on a friday night. Its a decent recap as far as abridged versions go.

The whole god is a woman thing. Fuck that. Nah...*gestures wildly*

Stolen Joke -
*drunk jesus* swinging a large baquette "You wanna piece of me?!"

Me and the girls at the bar in the 90s...

People see what they want to.
A lesson.

Moving catholics into the new age.

*Liked* might be a strong word.

It's really tough but sometimes, being kind to Gary means not engaging with Gary.

We dont need religion to be kind humans. We can believe in ourselves and one another...YUP...even in a shitscape world.

That ALWAYS bugged me. This story. Jesus tells everyone "Be kind, love one another, take care of the poor." They kill him, nail him to the cross and put THAT up in the front of all their churches. The worst day of the guys story, LOOK at IT! Yuck.

Bring it.

Bungeeeeeeeeeezus!

Organized religion makes walking away soooo easy.

Let's focus on our world then. What we can control and then know we are doing our part.

I mean...it isn't all bad.

Ok, that's hard to believe too. This guy is supposed to have 12 bffs? Nah. I dont care how far back you are going

Oh, memes playing a new game. Still...

Nailed it.

Not me but whoa, I see so many tap out of taking responsibilty, acceptance or taking credit for their own strength by putting it in *Gods Hands*

"Life is amazing, then it sucks...then its amazing again." Michael Franti

If its about love, kindness and sharing what we have, then there is nothing to defend.

Imgur should love this one.

I mean fanfic jesus is pretty fit.

How long did it take to blame things on the humans, anyway? The shame/blame is too much for me.

Yep. This is my people.

I finally left the church when my kids were small and MY autistic kid came at me like I went at the padre.

I thought I was doing the right thing, getting back into the church. For community etc. But my 9 yr old asked all the right questions

That kid has read the testaments of the bible, the Quran, Torah over the years.

They love debating about religion now and lean into Taoism.

They call it ethical religion and I need to adjust my brain bc that sounds like one of those oxymorons.

Maaaaagic.

Go get it, Loretta!

My mom told me at 14 "Stop swearing! It sounds like hell!" I said "If god didnt want me to swear he eouldnt have called his kid Jesus Christ." We laughed for an hour.

Make the jokes. Laugh at the silliness.

That was a church thing, btws...mostly women getting roasted. For being loud, opinionated, practicing medicine and doing her own damn thing.

I've never regretted leaving the church. I have family who say Im going to hell.

That's ok. Their opinion is not my reality.

I've never taken a dump on imgur before. I am dealing with chronic pain and its a lot rn.

This helped me take my mind off the pain. It reminded me I'm a small blip in this huge universe. The meaningful connections we make expand our space in it.
