so i have been kinda thinking about which religious jokes trigger me and which don’t. i laugh at some of them but others just trigger me way too much.
so i found a good example of a religious “joke” that triggers me.
the person who reblogged it said:
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
yes
Yes.
Yes.
Indeed it is.If that’s wrong, I don’t want to be right.
i just… hate seeing people think that this shit is something that was made up. that people don’t actually believe it. the clueless people who laugh at this have no idea of the horror that signs like this hint at.
i don’t know, i just feel angry, almost, at stuff like this. like – don’t you know that adults actually do tell children this shit? that adults build rules that confine children into these controlling, extremely restrictive environments?
like okay it’s fucking terrifying to be told that you yourself are basically evil incarnate for having a sexuality. shit like that. ya know.
i can kinda understand if another ex-religious person from similar circumstances uses stuff like this as a coping mechanism. i personally can’t use humor to cope because it’s too triggering to even think about this shit much less laugh at it, but i can see how it’d help someone else.
personally i prefer satire. i like humor that comes from people who genuinely seem to have gone through this shit, too – humor which makes fun of fundamentalism in such a pitch-perfect way. like the facebook post about the “evil liberal professor” who makes his students worship karl marx
