Hey, Iβm just reaching out to people on Tumblr. Youβve probably heard of Jesus and God, but have you ever reached out to Jesus for problems in your life? Big or small. Not to make you uncomfortable, but did you know sin (in your life and other peopleβs lives) can really hurt you, it can make it feel like there is a void that is never satisfied. That void could be called a βGod sized hole.β Sin sucks and not just in a cookie cutter way, but in a way that it feels like there is a decay within a person. That can be a lot to take in, but I hope it is good food for thought. I hope youβre having an awesome day!! π
Believe it or not, I did in fact live in a Christian adjacent household and was part of a Christian adjacent religion for most of my childhood
It got me so much self confidence issues that im still struggling to recover <3
Any thought I had made me anxious about the possibility of god damning me to eternal suffering. Normal teenage thoughts about sex made me feel so disgusting I begged Jesus not to hate me at night. I have internalized fears still even about if god is real, that hell hate me and make me suffer.
After discovering I was queer, it was a whole issue because I suddenly realized that the same people in the church preaching about love for all were the same people who would hate me simply for existing outside of what they wanted me to be. I saw people I grew up with and considered great friends talking about how they believed trans people should suffer, even if theyre suicidal, instead of transition because it was offensive to god and realized those same friends would turn on me if they knew who I truly was.
I had legitimate issues of mine dismissed as needing to talk to Jesus. A THERAPIST of mine told me to try praying more when I told her everything im saying in this post.
I dont have a problem with Christians because of their religion. But I do have a problem with people like you who sit here and preach to random people without considering the shit they could have gone through.
Sin feels like a decay within a person? My experience growing up in the Christian adjacent environment that I did decayed my view of myself as a person.
I reached out to Jesus so many times when I needed help and got no responses, and no help from him.
So respectfully, use your "god sized hole" and go fuck yourself <3
