I don't hate people who were born into it, and have not known any other way of being. But people who chose it piss me off.

actually no.

i don’t follow your book, i don’t sin.

you can’t do it.

this is the dream..

This blog is inspired by blogs such as @this-is-transsanism @this-is-transgynephobia @this-is-transandrophobia @this-is-ableism etc

I wanted to have a space not only to share my own experiences as an agnostic-ish exmormon Jewish convert in progress but also to give a platform to people who have left their religion and have been shunned, mocked, or otherwise oppressed because of it. Unfortunately the only term I could come up with was anti-apostasy, which certainly carries a negative tone, so if anyone has suggestions for another term for this specific thing please don’t be afraid to share them.

So who EXACTLY is this for?

I made this blog with Ex-Mormons/Ex-LDS or FLDS (or other variations) folks, Ex-JWs, Ex-Amish folks, or otherwise ex high control group/cult members in mind. However, this is really for anyone who has ever left any religion for any reason. Whether you came back to it eventually or not, whether you left because of some big revelation or just fell away, whether you became atheist or agnostic or converted to something else, if you have experienced discrimination from your community for leaving a religion, you deserve a space and you are welcome here. If you’re queer, trans, intersex, a POC, plural, disabled, mentally ill, etc etc etc, you deserve a space and are welcome here.

LET ME BE CLEAR, however:

This is not a place for bigotry. There is a line between criticism and hatred. Your reason to leave your religion is valid but if you want to tear down other people’s joy in their religion do it somewhere else. Religion and spiritual beliefs can be beautiful things for people. What we are criticizing here is organized religious structures that are often extremely harmful to those involved in them, the use of religion to justify bigotry, etc. NOT belief itself.

Additionally, though I have no DNI, for your information, I am anti Radqueer, anti Radfem (in ALL forms), anti Zionist, anti capitalist, anti government in general, and PRO all forms of plurality. If you have an issue with this, scroll or block or whatever you have to do. I also do not tolerate hatred against non harmful paras and personality disorders or otherwise stigmatized disorders. I am against AGAB language and the TME/TMA binary (due to personal reasons some of which you can probably guess based on my personal info below)
