Last thing I say on the subject for now I prommy but time it actually really is incredibly interesting how various local traditions + bits of local beliefs slowly became part of the local flavour of early christianity as it spread throughout the world + how u can still see parts of it in various like… subsections of catholicism today so it really is too bad that online somehow that entire subject has been boiled down to “actually the catholics were the oppressors in ireland”
i tend to think of my granny a little uncharitably considering how hard her life was but her inisting on putting flowers on all her children's doorsteps even after they'd grown up and moved away, just to try and guarantee them a bit of good luck, was actually very sweet
it's actually really weird to paint irish catholics as these genocidal oppressors when they've actually preserved a lot of pagan rituals that are still in practise + have suffered 800 years of british occupation & cultural suppression. who does it serve to lie about st patrick? and why are you so desperate to be oppressed ??
it is so crazy how people are addicted rn to exposing themselves as not boycotting because they wanna be reassured they're still good or w/e like man i wouldn't have known you were buying starbucks till you said you were
maybe the guilt you're feeling means "stop doing that" and not "let me make a psa style post about why i can't stop and hopefully everyone will coddle me and tell me i'm a good person"
this is the church that bisan is telling its story.
THERE ARE NO SNAKES IN IRELAND!!!! LITERAL SNAKES. THE ANIMAL
a concerning amount of witchblr will be like "um actually new years was stolen by europeans from the ancient god scroobus mcdoobus" and then you actually try to research scroobus mcdoobus and it turns out he was invented in the 1940s by a conspiracy theorist who powdered every meal with ketamine and thinks that queer people are reincarnated fish

are u ever just in awe of how much atrocity israel is getting away with but it's pro-palestine activists who are getting fired, suppressed and arrested worldwide? like i really can't get over it lol. i think i've taken some damage in this that has permanently scarred my soul. sometimes i look at the anons i get and i just realize some of you will never understand how the world has neatly fractured in two and that we are simply not in the same world anymore
this is how every "vote blue no matter what" lib talks about Palestinians and foreign policy
"former gifted kid syndrome" and it's just clinical depression. "former gifted kid syndrome" and it's just an internet addiction. "former gifted kid syndrome" and it's just the hard life lessons that everyone has to learn. maybe this isn't further proof of your stifled genius and inherent superiority? maybe you're just like everyone else & the problem is that adulthood is rough
it's called being in your 20s disorder

you're not struggling to read as much as you used to because you're a "burnt out gifted kid" you're struggling to read books because the internet has fucked your attention span. logging off is self care
Not the first time Israel has deliberately attacked Gazan places of worship, Christian churches or otherwise. These are war crimes, and just inhumane behavior.
like if we're still on the concept of bizarre and mundane things that for some reason traumatised us as children. i think watching my dad break a trout's skull on the side of our canoe (for a quicker death) may have left a mark on me
