Wow I just got a text from Mormons in my area. I've not been contacted by them in like 20 years. Seems like they'd have realized that I'm not interested after all this time!

Stuff like this is why your reputation has problems, guys.

Christianity primed white people to feel guilty when certain Pavlovian bells ring.

Accused? Wrongdoing even subtly implied? Guilt! Shame!

Then, if it's a respected authority doing the implying (be it parent or priest), we're primed to submit.

If we don't respect the authority of the "accuser," well, were primed to see them as the enemy in the all-or-nothing good vs evil war. "My authorities haven't called that a sin so who is this person anyway??" And we lash out. At women, POC, queers, disabled, and often, even ourselves.

What, you're white but never were Christian? Sorry, but you were programmed this way, too. (If you feel mad at me, that's the programming.)

Christianity's way out from guilt and shame is impossible. It doesn't work. It's designed to make you feel forever ashamed and in debt to Jesus — or rather, the religious authorities who represent him. That's how they get you.

We aren't allowed to emotionally mature to know how to handle our own feelings when we've done wrong. We're forever dependent children on the religion. We go to confession, do the penitence, feel a few days of relief, then go back to feeling guilty. No matter how well-meaning any particular clergy, this is by design.

Now suddenly here's these people I don't respect out of unexamined implicit bias dumping more crap on me.

Aren't I bad enough? Haven't I submitted enough? What am I supposed to do about it?

I'm hamstringed. My white brain has been lobotomized wrt how to handle this. But also, I've been told by trusted authorities that I'm not a racist, so I'm not!!! Out comes the Karen.

Colonialism=Christianity=Corporatism

It's all the same system.

Freeing ourselves from this system means freeing those whose oppression we enable.

Because it's all the same thing.

In Mormon news, BYU tried to make an indigenous student cut his braids. So fuck them.

Thankfully, they responded to pushback and now will not make him do that, but I'm sure they will continue to get away with all of their other attempts to control the hairstyles and harmless behaviors of literally everyone else.

(Which is why this issue is a "white" cause as much as it is anyone else's. My Celtic and Germanic ancestors wore long hair in all sorts of styles, and so did yours. Whiteness restricts all of our freedoms.)

A major concern in most religions is faith. I just saw a FB post saying "faith kills doubt and vice-versa." OK, but what the hell is faith? It tends to be defined in circular terms and/or with so much vagueness that there is no way to formalize or even really understand the concept (e.g. that "evidence of things not seen..." scripture).

Different religions have different definitions of faith. The LDS church (a.k.a. Mormons), established in New York in the 19th century, tends a bit more toward concrete definitions of terms than some other Christian flavors. I learned that faith was more or less (in my words) a response to an information signal about the reality of God, the truth of the church, Jesus' love, etc. received via channels placed in our minds for this purpose. I always found the LDS church's pragmatism and groundedness (in many things) both comforting and boring. But in this case it provided an operational definition.

And now I'm not religious.

(My father, the origin of my rational approach to spirituality, did not appreciate this explanation of my faith transition)
