#that first part isn't me trying to like justify like oh ophe actually i know that already it's just me feeling like i have to explain

hiiiiii corey <33 I just want to pop in and say that I feel you, and navigating conversations around christianity can be super difficult as it has been (and still is) used for a tool of colonialism and has hurt Many People but also is simultaneously incredibly personal as your religion. I’m also christian!! and this is tricky for me as well. but yeah you’re doing great <33

hi ophe my beloved <333

yeah, that's the hard part about talking about christianity:/ i've taken a lot of literature classes at school that have gone into the harmful process and aftermath of christianity as a tool for colonialism, and i'm very grateful i've gotten to read them because they were incredibly eye opening and got me to think, you know? i do try to learn the history and stuff because it's important!

oh! i didn't know you were also a christian!!! thank you, i appreciate it <3 y eah. that exactly 😅
