Shut up. Shut up. Shut the fuck up.

Christian teachings led me into horrifying situations. It taught me the “correct” way to act. It taught me that questioning God is a sin. It taught me to trust in those who preach the word of God.

Those people abused me. Hurt me. Led me to become the broken person I am today. I’m still suffering. It finally led me to my PTSD diagnosis and I’m fucking struggling.

“Not all Christians are bad!” and “Well, they weren’t real Christians!” are things I’ve been told. Shut the fuck up. If the wolves fit into your flock so well, YOU’RE ALL WOLVES.

Christian teachings led to this. Not “”““fake Christians””“”.

The church ain’t paying for my fucking therapy or my bills that I struggle with since the PTSD has me struggling for steady employment. Fuck Christians and their shitty teachings.

EDIT: Did you know that in a lot of places, clergy are exempt from mandatory reporting laws? Most are also exempt from laws that keep vulnerable people safe from being preyed upon by people in positions of power. People like teachers and therapists have these laws applied to them. Clergy and church “”““counselors””“” do not.

      I’ve come across more predators in churches than I ever have in any other environment.

      Legitimately, I urge anyone who has children to keep them away from churches!
