These types of religious groups are terrible. Claiming the solution to mental illnesses.

Religion can be good, for some, but this is dangerous. A religion needs to understand their place is outside of medicine and science.

People need therapy and medicine to deal with illness. Then a supportive social group like a church or whatever is great, but cannot be your solution.

As far as sexual orientation... religion needs to fuck right off on that. These people are living in the God damn stone ages.

Jesus loved unconditionally. If you want to help someone, don't judge them dont try to change them. Just help them. No preaching. Just kindness.

Can you differentiate from mental illness, as opposed to just being fed up with the world? Because, quite frankly, I'm fed up with this world. I'm not physically, or mentally, ill. I'm just fed up. And the world isn't getting better, it's getting worse. Every single day.

Thanks for listening :)

there's a podcast called Emerge that deals with the collective grief/psychotic break humanity is experiencing in the face of ecological and societal collapse. it was the first place i heard the conversation start from a place i felt was truthful and so i find the messages of hope and comfort very compelling from Daniel Thorson and his guests

try this if anything i said appealed to you at all lol this episode starts really pedantic and mushmush but by the end it's like "is this what church is supposed to feel like or something? WOW"

otherwise there's memes

but no, you're probably not sick in the way you're asking imo

Jesus? You mean the homeless, Jewish, Middle Eastern socialist who hangs out with lepers and whores? That Jesus?

These guys don't know him. They only know his asshole cousin, Supply-Side Jesus.
