I don’t believe any of it…
Dec. 7th, 2025 01:34 amThis stupid fucking meowbahh video got me thinking. (She showed the Bible and the Quran and then basically said “I don’t believe any of it~” and showed her own pink Meowbahh Bible with pink cat ears. I think meowbahh got cancelled or something i dont know.)
I love being an antitheist. I align myself with New Atheism… kind of. I don’t really read their books and I’m not a fan of the Islamophobia they have going on, although i DO dislike Islam. I just dislike theistic religions in general. I don’t think Muslims or Jews should be discriminated against by their religion, especially because they’ve been oppressed by the Big Bad, Christianity. I think ultimately, in the current political climate, it’s better for me not to be loud about how much I dislike the ideologies that have been used as a cudgel for evil. My ire is usually trained on Abrahamic religions and ESPECIALLY Christianity, but I still hate all religion in the way that I think “spirituality” and “faith” are fucking shams. You people are stupid. Wake up.
To be honest, I talk about antitheism saving me from the clutches of Christianity the same way Christians talk about Jesus saving them. I was raised as an evangelical Baptist. Christianity pretty much gives you the tools to refuse the facts and it is so, so hard to break out of that mindset. I likened it to a scale: on the left side, all of the experts and scientists and activists and even other Christian leaders in the world, telling me that being gay is okay. On the right side, the tiniest scrap of Christian ideology that aligns with my preexisting beliefs. I could just turn my back on all of that, and say the devil is testing me. No matter how much I piled on the scale, I still had to avoid looking at Christian rhetoric because literally the smallest things would make me wonder if I was going to hell and I would get really dysregulated over it. But I ended up transitioning to being an antitheist (it went agnostic -> atheist -> antitheist) and now THAT’s what I build my identity around, NOT being ex-christian. And it really did help me to say, FUCK religion! Religion sucks! It’s irrational, it teaches you to ignore facts and logic, I simply don’t believe that we are anything more than this life. And Christianity specifically is deeply evil. I try my best to love the Christian and hate the Church (see what I did there?) when I like them as a person otherwise but nnnope I still resent them for how they talk to me sometimes.
Also, you can’t fucking rehabilitate these religions. Spare your breath talking about how Jesus was a Middle-Eastern man who sat with prostitutes and hated church greed and wanted liberation of minorities or whatever. You still can’t erase the disgusting legacy of the Church, and how it continues to abuse today. And for fuck’s sake, stop saying the homophobes aren’t “real” Christians! Ever heard of the “no true Scotsman” fantasy? That’s literally you thats what you sound like. Embarrassing!
