if I never see the phrase “invisible sky wizard” again it will be too soon
#this is why i dislike about 70% of other atheists #YOU MAKE ME LOOK LIKE AN ARSEHOLE #I’M NOT! #I JUST DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD #having faith in something greater than yourself that cannot be quantified is one of the bravest things you can do in my book #so tearing that shit down because it doesn’t work for you is just fucking bullshit #our lack of faith or belief in an omnipotent being does not make us more intellectual #it does not make us more compassionate #it makes us nothing other than people who do not believe in god #that’s fucking it #end of #my absence of faith #does not qualify me as a better person than someone of faith #it says nothing about me other than i do not believe #it’s not hard #people having religious and spiritual faith is not stupid or offensive #the things that surround it can be #but the faith? #the act of believing? #is brave
it’s kind of hard having a really obsessive personality.
like, when i get into something, i don’t just enjoy it or find it pleasant or kinda keep up with it. i get straight up passionately and utterly addicted. i hear a good song and immediately go home and listen to it literally 60 times in a row. i watch a new TV show and suddenly all i can think about are the characters and the emotions and the plotlines. i read a new book and start quoting and referencing it constantly.
everyone thinks it’s weird, because i guess for most people they’re just like “oh yeah, i like that song!” and play it every so often until they move on. or they’ll watch a show on hulu whenever they’re bored. etc. etc. it’s just every time i want to be like “you just started watching _______? but how are you not already on the fourth season? how are you doing things other than thinking about all the tiny little brilliant details of it? how are you going on with your life in a normal fashion now that you’ve discovered this thing?”
and then i realize i’m the only one who has this incredible, overwhelming, consuming obsession with the song or show or book or whatever it is, and then i don’t really know what to do because i can’t just make my brain stop.
sidonie is made of Classical, Gospel, and determination. With a dash of pervert.
“But superhero films offer a shared, faithless, modern mythology, through which these truths can be explored. In our increasingly secular society, with so many disparate gods and different faiths, superhero films present a unique canvas upon which our shared hopes, dreams and apocalyptic nightmares can be projected and played out. Ancient societies had anthropomorphic gods: a huge pantheon expanding into centuries of dynastic drama; fathers and sons, martyred heroes, star-crossed lovers, the deaths of kings – stories that taught us of the danger of hubris and the primacy of humility. It’s the everyday stuff of every man’s life, and we love it. It sounds cliched, but superheroes can be lonely, vain, arrogant and proud. Often they overcome these human frailties for the greater good. The possibility of redemption is right around the corner, but we have to earn it.”
hahahahahahaaaaaaa
fuck

YES! I still watch TV shows and read magazines and enjoy things that have problematic aspects, but that doesn’t make me any worse of a feminist. Feminism doesn’t require you to become an ascetic about all media. It just means acknowledging that things are wrong and could be changed.
