  • I’m not sure my comment fits in this community, but I hope someone finds value in it. Another clear sign of abuse is what’s called “the missing missing reasons.”

    I’ve had at least several hundred (yes, really) conversations with my parents where I explained how they were hurting me, and every single time it would just go in one ear and out the other. Once I finally moved out and consistently declined to interact with them, they started saying stuff like “why won’t you just talk to us about your concerns? We want to have a relationship with you.”

    It seems like the only relationship they want to have is one where they keep doing the same shit they’ve always done and I keep putting up with it.



  • I lean the other way, in that I think religions have gradually gotten better over the years due to societal pressures. Not great, mind you, just less terrible.

    Either way, I totally agree that Christianity (and religion in general) is a plague on humanity. I know not everyone will agree with such a harsh statement, but I struggle to see the good in convincing people to live a lie.











  • When I was a missionary, it was fairly unsettling to realize just how much information about people and their daily routines was contained in the area book app. I shudder to think about the contributions I dutifully made to that database while I served.

    On the other hand, I am pretty curious to see what they wrote about me now that I’m an ex member who’s had a couple interactions with missionaries.
