The forgotten gods

 Atheist writing about rationalising with religious groups. But no matter what he does, he only convinced them to be more religious.

Bringing the two groups together. They marry. Culture clash. Unknown parts of their religions attributed to demons. Negative othering being used for the blame game. Leading to Confirmation bias, and a further othering, encapsulating a vicious cycle.

Eg: a Buddhist family blames their Christian convert son in law for bringing curses from angered gods. Like Divorce via unequally yoked relationships, business flops from differing moral dilemmas, misinterpretation of tolerance as passive aggression.

They act to prevent further disaster by bringing in holy cleansing with chanting monks and blessings and pasting written notes of wards all over the house, which The Christian sees as sinister and being filled with unholy spirits. They each respond with further spiritual defenses and offenses that offends the other party.

East and West (religion seeking community and individuality)

 The trend of religion in each state. religion is primed to feed the soul what it lacks.  East communal spirit, people are bonded through their societal role, erasing individuality in the sense where they are intrinsically empowered through 'free' thoughts of expressing whatever they like.

CHRISTIANITY: This is not a religion, this is a personal relationship with Jesus.  Hold out for a saviour who returns your texts, and not someone who has holy ghosted you. But he always answers prayers, it’s just that the answer is sometimes no. This seems more like a one-sided relationship that the imagined person, if he exists, doesn’t seem aware of? This is not so different from the phenomenon in modern celebrity culture— a parasocial relatio...

DOMINATION

"... when domination disguised its real self in euphemisms " Once you have seen through & smelled the deliberate lies and distortions - often via "education" & mass media- of White Western Colonialisms you can no longer un-see or un-smell the shit.  Then, you no longer give a fuck about the Colonizer's taste, judgement, prestige, affirmation, acceptance, validation, or relationship with your colonizer and his/her institutions.  That to me is the ultimate liberation of the Colonized. We must un-fuck our consciousness, if we wish to live with essential self-respect & dignity as equals in these global webs of group & individual relations. "... when domination disguised its real self in euphemisms " decolonize our imaginations with pedagogies and experiences,

Acceptance of LGBTQ identities in Malaysian and Singaporean Protestant Churches

Title Acceptance of LGBTQ identities in Malaysian and Singaporean Protestant Churches Introduction  While Christianity has traditionally been homomisic in the nature of its doctrine, churches have been utilising the discourse of ‘God-given unconditional love’ to be more welcoming towards LGBTQ identities. Regardless, even with this softened approach, the LGBTQ community still faces pervasive discrimination. Elements of discriminatory behaviour, bias, and stigmatisation can be systemic in nature, constituting of how people reinforce and propagate varying textual formats of power through language discourse (Potter 1996). In this case, the Christian perspective assumes power through the discourse of heteronormativity, which recognizes heterosexuality as the norm while refuting other forms other than heterosexuality by labelling them as deviant and pathological (Yep 2002). Nonetheless, despite ‘hate the sin and love the sinner’ being used as a statement of reconciliation against suppos...
