Isn't funny (funny strange, not funny haha) how the instant a girl marries and becomes just another cringey, "wholesomely" beige Instagram influencer wannabe, everyone magically forgets about her infamous past as a major hoe? All her sleeping around, bullying, backstabbing, manipulating, heart breaking, gossip starting, man stealing, and home wrecking is forgotten about by the surrounding community.
The metaphor commonly used to describe a good salesman is being able to "sell a cat to a mouse". But I argue that concept is far easier than people have always thought. It's easy to sell death and self harm to people, especially these days. Just look at the addictive substance industry, tanning salons, and even seemingly innocent addictions such as TV platform subscriptions, which suck away your life that could be spent on worthier activities. Or, to reference current events, a tour to the most dangerous depths of the ocean in a regulation-breaking, bargain basement plastic jug. People are constantly yammering like zombies for the next big, dangerous waste of their money.
No, what is a far more difficult persuasion achievement---though not to be admired---is the ability to make everyone forget about their filthy past and treat them ever after as a sweet, innocent, wholesome person. Even more preposterous is that no one even recognizes them as an "evil to good" story of reformation; the minds of the surrounding community are completely wiped of this woman's past misdeeds. POOF! Gone. It's like some sick combination of "retired mean girl" and a Witness-Protection-Program-level forged new identity.
This level of personal rebranding is what celebs with a scandalous past DREAM of and what big-time PR agencies can never quite achieve. They should be taking notes from these hoes-turned-housewife!

Steve’s the type of person to be jokingly jealous with Eddie. Eddie’s not answering the phone? Best believe when Eddie calls back the conversation goes something like this:
“So what position were you guys in when I called earlier, huh?”
“Steve, what? Who?”
“Your sidepiece, obviously.”
“Baby I had a campaign you know this.”
“Suureee you did, Eds. That’s what they all say.”
Eddie just rolls his eyes and smiles because he would never cheat on Steve and he knows it (and vice versa).

21st Century Pharisees
First of all, let me be clear that I normally do not feel comfortable criticizing people from a Biblical standpoint. "Let he who is without fault cast the first stone" and "judge not lest ye be judged" and all that. Honestly, I don't know how pastors can preach "thou shalt not:_____" every week without feeling awkward, as a fellow sinner, in front of their audience. Thus, the criticism this blog focuses on is mostly in a non-religious context. HOWEVER, there are sometimes religion-based situations that peeve me to such a degree that I cannot look the other way.
(Warning: long religious rant ahead, continue at your discretion. Happy scrolling, if this isn't your cup of tea.)
During this morning's daily social media check, I was greeted by a reel/story/short/tiktok from a girl I used to go to church with that made me cringe then sneer in disgust. She sat on the beige floor in her beige romper in front of a beige crib, praying in dramatic "altar call" style with eyes closed over diapers and placing them carefully into a beige baby bag. A wall of cursive text over this video described the laundry list of things she prayed for on her newborn daughter's behalf, while an equally long caption/description detailed the other inanimate household objects she held during her daily petitions. Super emotional live worship music played in the background, a subtle underscore to the performance of it all. It looked like she had spent at least half an hour putting this thing together, taking time to carefully set up her iphone before sitting down to pray and far longer than the activity itself typing out all the cliche buzzword phrases like "comfort in the Lord" and "place of worship".
This is not the first time this week I have cringed over local (small town) acquaintances putting a ton of time and effort into attempting influencer-level videos of their daily lives... just for friends and family to see. First it was a "get ready to move with us", an attempted spin-off of "GRWM" that was almost fatal levels of cringe. Now, it's this weird Instagram-aesthetic-moodboard-meets-cheesy-Hillsong-music "peek" at this local girl's prayer habits. I wish these small towners, who are one clunky Romeo step above rednecks, would chill out with their "keeping up with the Joneses" influencer attempts on social media.
It disturbs me for a number of reasons and now we get to the preachy part, my least favorite part. Firstly, it's SUPER performative and attention-seeking. It's on the same level as anyone who goes to the trouble to set up their camera to film themselves crying, except worse because she's literally "performing" her religion for the camera, for the views, for the likes, for the validating comments. I'm no expert, but I don't know of any religion, Christianity or otherwise, whose doctrine places a VALUE on performative attention-seeking. Except for cults, which are often very performative.
"2 The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law are experts in the Law of Moses. 3 So obey everything they teach you, but don't do as they do. After all, they say one thing and do something else.
4 They pile heavy burdens on people's shoulders and won't lift a finger to help. 5 Everything they do is just to show off in front of others. They even make a big show of wearing Scripture verses on their foreheads and arms, and they wear big tassels for everyone to see. 6 They love the best seats at banquets and the front seats in the synagogues. 7 And when they are in the market, they like to have people greet them as their teachers." -Matthew 23:2-7 CEV
Secondly, in her grand, aesthetically pleasing performance, she is---intentionally or unintentionally---trying to paint a pretty picture to cover up or distract from her past actions. Things like participating in a super exclusive "cool, holy girls" church clique, backstabbing her friends, and leading guys of all ages on for fun. Sinful? Not specifically by the "letter of the law". Christlike towards the church family? Definitely not. But now that she's not a player anymore, and is settled down with a family of her own, she's a pure, wholesome, righteous housewife. Nobody look behind the curtain! Just watch the pretty beige "day in the Christian life" videos with sweet-sounding buzzwords smeared all over them and forget all about her past.
"27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness." -Matthew 23:27-28 CEV
Thirdly, there are many aspects of one's walk with God that are meant to be personal, almost private, while others are fine to be public. Some forms of worship are public and others are private, so it's not a hard rule across the board. But this... daily prayer sessions for your family... just feels like something that ought to be personal and not shared with the poor fools who signed up to listen/watch. (“Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?”) Somehow, posting it on the internet feels incredibly fake, insincere, and desperate for attention. It gives me an icky feeling.
"3 So when you give to the poor, don’t let anyone know what you are doing." -Matthew 6:3
Fourth, making religion, any religion, into an "aesthetic" like a tag you'd search on Tumblr doesn't feel right to me. Religion, no matter which one, is a way of life, not something to be picked up and enjoyed because it's pretty, until you get bored and find something prettier. First it was the hipster Christians who obsessed over cuffed jeans and Bible verses plastered on photos of foggy forests. Now it's the sad beige Christian girls (*cough*former bullies*cough*) putting cliche, righteous-sounding Christian phrases over videos of their sourdough bread project. "Aesthetisizing" religion just trivializes it. No Bible verse for this one, because I don't remember any passages that talk about #aesthetic. But I don't think I need scripture to back me up on this one.
FIFTH and finally, you know that idiom "if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one around to hear it, does it make a sound"? Translate that to 2023 and it basically equates to: "if something happens and you don't post it all over your social media, did it REALLY happen?" Many girls and young women have been conditioned to a point where they genuinely believe without even realizing it that moments in their lives aren't valuable, special, valid, or even happened unless it gets showed off on their social media for likes and comments. Unfortunately, that now carries over into their religious activities as well. It's not worth their time to sit down for a good reading/journalling session if they can't make an unrealistically aesthetic tiktok of it. If they spend some quiet time in prayer and don't make an Instagram reel with some inspirational worship music, HOW will everyone know what a Godly Woman(tm) they are??? It's both sad and disgusting that they think their worship time, charity, acts of service, and everything else about their walks with God aren't VALID unless people hit that "like" button on social media.
Before anyone tries to argue this one with me, saying that this content can teach and inspire other Christians... no. Just no. It's a night and day difference between teaching and showing off. There is nothing educational about these girls' photos/videos, which only serve to scream in everyone's faces, "LOOK AT ME, LOOK HOW RIGHTEOUS I AM!"
Narcissism is characterized by a focus on "me, me, me", while many religions are supposed to be a focus on their higher power. While they try to make it look like the focus of the videos and their activities are on God, it's very clear that the subject of the videos is themselves for the sake of flattering their egos.
