I’m not anti-religion, I think people should be allowed to believe in whatever helps them cope with reality. But when passing by large churches I think about how there are children being dragged there every week- some queer kids are learning to hate themselves, some atheist kids being forced to pretend they are something they aren’t, some kids being brainwashed to see nonchristians as bad or “lost”- and I get angry.
The National Secular Society has urged the government to hold the Vatican accountable over its continued failure to cooperate with a British public inquiry on child abuse.
The NSS has written to Foreign Office minister Tariq Ahmad over the issue after revelations at the Independent Inquiry on Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) this week.
Counsel to the inquiry Jacqueline Carey said the Vatican had refused to supply written evidence or send witnesses about clerical misconduct in advance of hearings in October, despite a request to do so.

Hear that cracking sound in the distance? It’s my hEART BREAKING
why take their rosaries??? what the fuck does that accomplish? You’re already taking everything else from them, at least let them have god
But what about their religious freedom? No outrage from the cloistered wealthy mega churches and their team of lawyers?
so why are Christians in the US not getting into a huge snit about this??
PICTURES LIKE THIS SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED THE ENVIRONMENT TO HAPPEN
This is sickening
Abolish ICE
Heres the article. Its about a janitor who took the confiscated items that were thrown away and turned it into a photography project. It says he’s keepimg them in hopes that one day theyll be housed in a museum dedicated to migration
I am super uncomfortable with Christianity in general and even I am like “holy fuck how cruel can you be”
^^^^^ precisely what Kitty said.
This is a special kind of being cruel. May these people rot in the hell they freely threaten others with.

So far this year, at least 68 people have been murdered and 94 seriously injured by fascist and extreme right violence. See our timeline of racist and extreme right violence or view the incidents on our tracking map.
At least 73 pupils at a Catholic school have suffered forehead burns from ceremonial ashes applied during Mass.
St Augustine's Catholic High, in Redditch, said 16 members of staff and the chair of governors were also affected by the Ash Wednesday Mass.
First aid was provided and some parents took their children to emergency hospital departments.
The school said it was "dismayed" and was investigating what happened during Mass.
A priest was drawing ash crosses on pupils in year nine and 11 when some of them began complaining of discomfort.
The ashes were being analysed by external experts, the school said.
ROME — The sexual abuse of nuns and religious women by Catholic priests and bishops — and the abortions that have sometimes resulted — has for years been overshadowed by other scandals in the Roman Catholic Church.
That seemed to change this week when Pope Francis publicly acknowledged the problem for the first time.
“I was so happy,” said Lucetta Scaraffia, the author of an article denouncing the abuse of nuns and religious lay women by priests that was published this month in a magazine, Women Church World, which is distributed alongside the Vatican’s newspaper.
Speaking from her Rome apartment, which she said had essentially been converted into a television studio full of international reporters, Ms. Scaraffia said, “Finally, now many women will have the courage to come forward and denounce their abusers.”
I was sent a youtube video by a Christian preacher who does his witnessing on youtube. I’m guessing it was a mass message, sent to as many tumblr atheists as he could find?
I’m not naming or linking, but he wanted a response, so:
Mate, I have no interest in giving you free advertising. I watched your video and found it really annoying listening. Stop smacking your lips against the mic. Maybe also stop cracking thunder every time you quote God. Some people, myself for example, have hearing issues and such things make it really hard to process what the hell is going on.
Other than that? Same ol, same ol. Nothing new or interesting.

Is it weird that I’m disappointed I didn’t get included in a mass-proselytization?
Lol there are a lot of us! I haven't even been all that active if late so I'm a tad confused how he found me in the first place though
I can absolutely send you the link if you wanna see it ;)

A woman who mutilated her three-year-old daughter has become the first person in the UK to be found guilty of female genital mutilation (FGM).
The 37-year-old mother from east London wept in the dock as she was convicted after a trial at the Old Bailey.
Spells and curses intended to deter police and social workers from investigating were found at the Ugandan woman's home, the trial heard.
Her 43-year-old partner was acquitted by the jury.
Prosecutors said the mother "coached" her daughter "to lie to the police so she wouldn't get caught".

This is really random, but at church today (I'm underage and forced to go) the pastor literally said to not listen to common sense. I think that really sums up the Christian religion, and all other religions for that matter.
Yikes, sorry it’s been a long while since I received this.
More yikes at that comment - yeah, pretty much. There is a lot of cognitive dissonance involved in religion, it’s true.
Common sense typically is telling you something’s wrong and it’s actually a good idea to listen to it if it’s blaring warning signals at you. Which is why religious leaders tell you to ignore it.

Animal welfare advocates are urging the environment secretary to repeal an exemption which allows animals to be slaughtered without pre-stunning for religious reasons.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) and the British Veterinary Association (BVA) have made the call in an open letter to Michael Gove.
The letter, which the groups are urging members of the public to sign, says: "All animals should be stunned before slaughter. No exceptions.
"Scientific evidence clearly indicates that slaughter without pre-stunning can cause unnecessary suffering.
"The level of restraint required to hold an animal still, expose the throat, and perform an effective neck cut is typically greater than that needed for stunned slaughter. When the neck cut is performed it triggers a barrage of sensory information to the brain in the conscious animal."

since technically there is no male and female bc we are all one in Jesus Christ…. would that make our collective nipples “god-presenting”? discuss.
lydia do you accept constructive criticism on your posts
no. god herself whispered this post into my ear. defying it would be blasphemous.
I don’t care what the Founding Fathers would have wanted, I don’t care if Jesus was a hippie or not, I don’t care what Marx prescribed. I can’t take living in a world where we’re all servants of long-dead men. You know what happens if you make a law the Founding Fathers wouldn’t like? Nothing, they’re dead and they’re never coming back. I’m genuinely envious of countries that can just make whatever laws they want without worrying about how 18th century agrarian noblemen would have seen it. Stop arguing that Jesus loved the poor too, what he loved or didn’t love is irrelevant, he doesn’t get a say in any of this. We could have a country that isn’t shackled to these ghosts if we collectively wanted to.
