This is the letter that Ruby wrote:

I’m sorry for leaving like this. I just don't have the courage left to look you in the eyes and say this out loud.

I look back and all I see are the ruins of what we tried to save. Beacon, Penny, Atlas… it feels like every time I try to be the leader you need, someone else pays the price. I can’t keep building my optimism on top of your sacrifices.

You deserve a future that isn't stained by my mistakes or by a war we can’t seem to win. I can’t stand the thought of watching anyone else become a "lesson" or a memory.

If I stay, I’m just more weight for you to carry. For once, I’m going to do the right thing: I’m staying out of your way.

Please, take care of each other.

Well, well, well. This is my first time posting on this platform and also the first time I've drawn one of my all-time favorite ships: White Rose from RWBY! 🌹❄️ I tried to base this drawing on a concept of Ruby collapsing/breaking down.

And yeah as several people pointed out it isn’t even explicitly in the bible, but something some radicals pieced together in maybe only the last century. My uncles all believe it to the letter and they all believe it’s what the Bible is “supposed” to be communicating.

A lot of people are also confused as to why they would believe the peace and unity are villainous things and what the difference even is then between the “antichrist” and actual Jesus, which brings me to another thing I realize some folks CRITICALLY overlook about American Christianity, which is that they do not believe in good or bad deeds. They believe the same deed can be right or wrong strictly according to whether or not it’s performed by a believer with God’s stamp of approval. Like, they KNOW the Satanic Church and Witch Covens do community service or donate to cancer research and they are not confused, surprised, bitter or embarrassed by that at all. It’s exactly what they’re taught to expect. They believe the forces of Satan do primarily “good” things so people will think he’s just as good or better than God. So if a pastor heals a sick child with a prayer then that’s good, but if a “witch” heals the same sick child with “magic” (not something I believe exists, but they do) then that’s a false miracle from the devil and the child was better off dying because now everyone involved is a sinner who deserves hell. They’re taught to view you as a ridiculous fool if you don’t grasp this difference, and every single argument you might make is a part of the satanic trickery.

….And something I’ve heard before but still neglected to mention:

…..so that’s all pretty nightmarish confirmation of how pervasive this mindset is around here, but you know, if the majority of reactions to this information have been either “what the fuck are you talking about?” or “yeah I WAS taught this and I’m better now,” maybe that’s a sign that it’s slowly but consistently fading with every generation?
