When I came forward about my assault, so many I knew from the church just didn’t want to engage because they didn’t want to confront anything painful. Living Hope Baptist Church itself is trying to just ignore me and pretending it never happened. #EmptyThePews

They’re constantly asked to confront sin in church, but when faced with it they just hide, because actually dealing with a problem in a meaningful way is too difficult for them.

How does it glorify
#god to only engage with the suffering of your fellow man when it makes you look good? What about having principles is antithetical to your gospel?#Churchtoo#EmptyThePewsPrikaži ovu nit -
As a kid, I was told we were brave for being Christian. Turns out that statement was only surface deep. You’re brave for being Christian, but not for actually living the ideas you espouse.

This thread is brought to you by this horseshit, which I guarantee will only lead to abuse. Fun fact: this man is the board president of Hope House Ministries, where one of my abusers is Executive Director.

It’s also the same advisory that qanon folk use: “trust the plan” - blind adherence to a generalist idea & belief that details about the way the journey is undertaken need not be addressed, it’s all about the outcome at the end.

(1/2) I think often it is as you say, to avoid emotion, but i think it can also be an abdication of agency due to being unwilling/unable to accept the responsibility of moral agency. I think "trust in God" often means "this horror was divinely planned, & therefore somehow good."

(2/2) That is, i think the "trust in god" mantra is a thing some people use to feel safe in a terrifying reality by redefining horrific human actions as divine pageantry. It is a total mindfuck.

It’s all meant to erode your self worth and brainwash you into complicity. “Trust in God” = you’re powerless to change anything, so don’t.
