Conference On Religious Trauma

06/11/2024

Here’s how I feel:
Shocked, enraged, sad, concerned. Here’s what I’ve done:
Sworn a lot, cried a little, reviewed coping strategies, sought comfort from loved ones, went for a walk, listened to a non-political podcast.
We are grieving. Let us support each other. Sending Big Hugs your way today. 💙💜💙💜

I am re-watching Bill Moyers' interview with Joseph Campbell, which was an important piece of my deconversion story. Campbell showed me that religious myths abound in every culture and across time - and that the Bible is part of that mythology. I can appreciate the stories as humans searching for meaning instead of believing them as literal and historical. I will include the series link below.

This is how religious fantasy becomes deadly. Stop giving religions a pass just because so many people are indoctrinated. Adults must embrace reality to build healthy, functional societies.

This is from The Donald’s speech last night. He said there will be NO MORE VOTES if he gets in. He is serious about installing himself as a dictator - like his pal, Putin. His appeal to Christians is utterly fake and I hope they see through it.

When I was falling farther and farther down the fundamentalist rabbithole, someone close to me asked "𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘭𝘦, 𝘑𝘢𝘯?" It took me years to appreciate the wisdom of his question. For those who are today in a similar space, shrinking their social circles due to ideology, I offer my favorite poem:
𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐃 (by Edwin Markham)
“He drew a circle that shut me out—
Heretic, a rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
𝑾𝒆 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒘 𝒂 𝒄𝒊𝒓𝒄𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒊𝒏!”
