I didn’t really have a relationship with the faith I was brought up in. My parents took me church weekly, I went through the initiation/indoctrination rituals. However when I joined the military and moved out of my parents house, I stopped just like that. Think of it as a seed that never took root.
I loved it so much! Although I’ve never been religious and don’t personally relate to it, I found it really informative and interesting! (And beautiful as always)
Hey Illy, God has told me to tell you this. "He says that he loves you and cares about you. And he will never leave you nor forsake you." And if you ever have ave questions about Jesus or his word, give me shout. Also, I hope you have a blessed day. 😁
others pointed that out too lol. for the record, I don't choose or create URLs, as far as I know they're just generated randomly and I don't think I can change it.
Very important message to spread. I be Catholic and it p¡$$es me the hell off when other folks try to claim religious superiority, whether writing questions off as “u JuSt NeEd 2 aCcEpT iT” or trying to jam bible quotes to ramshackle an excuse to hate (which goes against love ya neighbor). Godspeed
I don’t have religious trauma, I want to make that clear. But it annoys me to no hell when folks try to use religion as a shield against criticism, or a tool to abuse. I would recommend going to a different church or what havya if the folks in it aren’t welcoming, but leave places of hate
as a progressive muslim, i 100% agree with the message of this video
religious communities are far too unwilling to hear criticism and just unwelcoming in general, and it has caused too much suffering for too many people, it's a serious problem that needs to stop now
Yeeeeeeesh, on one hand I am glad that you haven't been treated the way my brother-in-law was at church (he's ethnically Jewish and attending with my sister as a Christian) but... wow they really put you through the ringer for like no reason at all!
This resonates with me so much and really opened my eyes to how my own religious trauma developed back when I was 4yo, thank you so much for sharing your story

I think it’s safe to say…that you helped me find the real Jesus today, the one who I’ve been searching for such a long time.
I’m forever grateful that you and your video helped me do that today.✝️
