the way this website balks at the term "culturally christian" is so funny to me like. oh shit you mean the religion our government and culture is structured around might impact you even if you're atheist and ESPECIALLY if you're ex-christian? noooo it's the people using it to describe a phenomenon of western culture that are wrong

#I think sometimes it's a genuine misunderstanding of the term #but others it's just a knee-jerk reaction against being associated w christianity #like babe just bc you left the church does not mean the church left you! #esp if you continue to parrot very christian beliefs! #and even people born and raised atheist are dealing w morals imbedded in western society by christianity #it's also not exclusive to christianity! culturally muslim people exist in other countries & cultural hinduism etc... #it's about what religion is The Major Religion backing the moral decisions of a society #regardless of your personal belief

the sole and devastating problem with monkey man is that it will literally never be able to push past the people who think the concept of the film disrespects hanuman ji to be exposed in an environment where people see it for more than its name.

#raj shitposting #my mother ACTUALLY asked me why the film took hanuman ji as the monkey god to drive the plot when there are monkey gods everywhere. #i was so shocked because wtf all those monkey gods are literally based on hanuman ji besides this is a film about an indian man. #she still thought that it was just disrespecting hinduism so i didn't let her watch past the scene with lucky in the tavern. #like i don't think indians have the tolerance or the right etiquettes to watch this film at all. #which is why i am starting to feel glad it was never released here. indians saale hain hi adipurush ke layak mcbc. #inn logo ko bhakti do to uski batti banakar filmmaker ki hi gaand mein ghusedna chayenge. #inhe violence do to kahenge humare bhagwaan aese nahi the tum log humare bhagwan ka mazak uda rahe ho. #saala chahate kya ho? #tum log behenchod adipurush dekho aur har acchi cheez ko ban hone do. #people view religion as blind devotion rather than something that allows you to connect yourself to your gods. #they don't believe their gods could make mistakes. and they sure don't believe for a goddamn second that their god could be wrong. #i am not saying monkey man is about proving god wrong because it FUCKING ISN'T. #it's about a boy who clung to a story his mother told him as a child in hopes of finding her in the ugly face of the world. #something that would allow him to keep going because that's what hanuman ji would've done. that what his mother would've wanted. #like stop this absolute crap nonsense guys this film does not call the kid hanuman it literally invokes his image to inspire the kid. #HANUMAN JI IS WHAT IS HELPING THE KID FIGHT THIS WAR WITH HIMSELF AND THE WORLD. #he's literally like the krishna to the kid's arjun. he's a guide who talks through the kid's past through his mother's voice. #tum log bajrangi bhaijaan hi dekhlo bhai tumhare andar yeh picture hazam karna ka guda nahi hai. #monkey man #dev patel

Leftists vs Hindutva with Ram Mandir vs Babri masjid treating it like which came first "chicken or egg"?

#I stand with neither like why can't they just build both the things in the city? #I fully disagree with the violence on muslims and other sects committed by hindus tho like that's not what this secular country stands for #but at the same time I wanna celebrate a historic moment #idk? #desiblr #desi #desi aesthetic #desi tag #desi stuff #hindutva #ayodhya #hinduism #islamophobia #hinduphobia #india #politics #nationalism #history #religion

NO, REALLY. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR RELIGION.

I'm coming to an understanding that I'm on the spectrum somewhere and religion is my special interest. Like, the amount of information I possess on all kinds of Christian denominations is not normal, I'm realizing. Between all the experimentation my family has done, the invites from friends that I always accepted, my own experimentation, being in a fringe Christian community that many people don't really recognize as Christian, living abroad in South America to see the permutations of Christianity that exist there, and deep dives I've done on my own into various religious movements my ancestral family members have belonged to, I've got a library in here 👉🧠👈 on various Christian traditions. It also includes Judaism and Biblical Hebrew (which I did in college), and what I'll call a trinket box of stuff I've collected about Islam and Buddhism from the wild. I want to know more about Islam inside and outside of the Middle East, as well as more east Asian religions I've largely only been exposed to by name only.

I probably(?!) know more than the average person on a large number of Christian traditions. I always want to know more. I'm in a constant state of trying to get people to infodump on their religious traditions in a culture that teaches (but in no way enforces) that it's rude to talk about religion.

[sunray-screaming]

I’ve seen a number of posts lately referring to holi as “a south asian holiday” and it is AGGRAVATING because no!! no it’s not!!!

it has its roots in hinduism and yeah, it’s celebrated by other dharmic religions other than hinduism as well, but that does NOT mean it’s south asian!!

and it always stems from a place of ignorance or erasure. always always always. either from people being unaware (which. wikipedia exists fam. they’ve got it right. go look it up. I’m so tired of excusing ignorance too, it’s literally in the first sentence of the article) or from people trying to erase the hindu origins of the festival. hell I’ve seen it happen to diwali too and guess what!! SAME SITUATION!!

you wouldn’t call eid anything other than a muslim holiday, you wouldn’t call easter anything other than a christian holiday, you wouldn’t call yom kippur anything other than a jewish holiday.

treat us the same way. let us have our holidays.

#holi #hinduism #hindu #holi2024 #dharmic #dharmic religions #I’ll be honest I don’t know much about other dharmic religions in relation to who celebrates what #I just know that some people do!! #which is so valid #brb omw to wikipedia to learn more myself #but if anyone else wants to chime in please do

[himalayaan-flowers]

i’m so tired, i just want to know if God exists and if He does, what is wanted from me, or if i’m allowed to die

but there are too many religions and beliefs and it’s exhausting

i need to read about religion & science. about prophecies that apparently came true. pray. read about all the different beliefs and their histories. try to weigh up which is right, which, if any, has enough evidence to suggest it’s true. read all the major religious texts. try to work out which translation is right. which interpretations are right.

but i can’t make myself do it. i don’t have the energy to eat, let alone any of this. and doing it all alone is so hard. and it’s very, very hard to find the motivation when i’m 99% sure there’s no God anyway.

but what if i’m wrong and i end up dying and going to hell for believing the wrong thing

i feel like no one can help me i feel so trapped

#i’m just so stuck #I have no energy #no concentration #no motivation #and the ocd makes it so hard #idk what to do #religion #hell #christianity #Judaism #islam #hinduism #buddhism #God #spirituality #agnosticism #atheism

[snekdood]

im not gonna act like its as severe as hindutvas make it out to be but if you deny hinduphobia exists you're just a dumbass i think

#1. christians default mode is hating every other religion and ESPECIALLY the ones they deem satanic (no surprise that includes hinduism) #2. a lot of yall anti theist types only ever give more fuel to the idea that theres hinduphobia so maybe stop being a fuckin anti theist #if you want ppl to stop talking about it #3. any push to erase hindu history or historical sites is hinduphobia idc what you say #4. a lot of people in the west treat hinduism as a joke religion like thats the default emotion yall have for it and the way you approach #it. like ye'all treat buddhism with way more respect than you treat hinduism. tf is up w that. why is that a thing. #probably a combo between thinking eastern asians are more ideal and south/se asians as less ideal and also thinking hinduism is 'cringe' #and 'weird' and 'funny' and 'wacky' or whatever. #stg if i could go in to every piece of media that treats indians in general as a joke and strangle said media i would. #5. there has been many attempts at getting rid of hinduism before by many people and you cant act like that doesnt have a lasting effect #both on the hindus that were oppressed and the ppl who thought they were justified in oppressing their 'savage' religion 😒 #and no im not gonna sit here and act like muslims are the problem or whatever tf its a small minority that are shitty so stuff it before #you even try it rebecky.

[asocial-skye]

no but Hindutva is so fucking stupid, because it’s a bunch of old men going around imposing a religion whose main thing is that it’s not a religion; it’s a way of life. a way of life where the gods don’t give a shit if you aren’t a believer and non-believers aren’t going to burn for their sins. a religion that preaches tolerance, the importance of doing good deeds even through you are trapped in a cycle of life, death and suffering. seriously, to break from the cycle, you just have to lead a good life doing good deeds and to help others. nowhere in hindu scriptures does it say that you will not attain moksha if you aren't a hindu; just do the good deeds, and you will become one with God. hinduism is like ‘let live and do good’ it says nowhere that you are a bad person if you aren’t a Hindu in doctrine; that’s what abrahamic religions do. I’m not even sure BJP understand what Hinduism is. fucking idiots.

#desi #desi tumblr #desiblr #india #indian politics #anti bjp #islamophobia #hinduism #hindu culture #i'm not even sure that you can even call yourself a hindu #if you want to oppress and harm others for the reason of holding other religious beliefs #that's not how it works #a cornerstone of dharmic religions is that you don't have to join any religion to be a good person #your morality as a person was intrinsic to your good deeds and your bad deeds #that's honestly a solid take on morals and i can't believe some old privileged men looked at this beauty and went #'but what if we were extremist right-wing catholics with hindu coatings' #disgrace to our culture #may they be voted out

dean: when i was younger, my dad would drag us around on these monster-killing trips

dean: uhm, we mainly hunted one thing

I am absolutely begging y'all to realize that "celtic" and "gaelic" are not interchangeable terms

#especially in terms of paganism and culture. wicca has massively fucked that too #but then at the same time a lot of y'all use paganism and wicca interchangeably too #i am once again asking people with minimal occult knowledge and/or christian / former christian now atheist upbringings to please just #don't. just don't okay unless you've actually spent time researching anything in relation to paganism please don't speak on it i'm so tired #like i would still consider myself to be in the introductory stages of gaelic paganism but that's after like #two years of cultural and religious research. so i'm not speaking as someone who thinks they're an expert in these fields #but you know what makes that research harder? #having to sift through every celtic or wiccan thing mislabeled ''gaelic paganism'' like they are not synonymous #i am not wiccan. my form of paganism falls under the greater umbrella of celtic culture #but celtic paganism is the equivalent of ''christianity'' #christianity includes hundreds of sects including catholicism‚ mormonism‚ protestants‚ quakers‚ fundamentalists... the list goes on #like celtic paganism is much more loose and less defined. and is still not comparable to wicca #wicca is honestly Religious Appropriation‚ The Religion. it bastardizes celtic‚ germanic‚ greek‚ and roman paganisms #along with taking from major religions like judaism‚ hinduism‚ buddhism‚ islam‚ and even christianity! #it is NOT comparable to paganism. it is NOT one in the same. #just. god i'm so tired of this kind of shit i really wish someone would write a guide for all this shit #'cause i know it's not out of malicious intent but when you call someone that's desperately trying to recover their culture #from violent protestantism and its offshoots along with decades of active genocide by the english a ''wiccan'' and use it interchangably #with ''gaelic paganism'' it's like. it's like saying the irish and the english are the same thing like. that's insulting. #i know it's not on purpose but it's still insulting. #okay i'm done rambling in the tags sorry i'm tired

my muslim friend said "if the army get several months/days for suffering, gay people get a month because of how they suffered/are suffering, why dont religuous people get a month or even just a day because there are a lot of us being killed in china alone?"

The number of braindead people in this world who have never had a single original thought in their lives is actually nauseating.

#call me a hater but do you even know why you follow the things you do #or think the way you do #is it just all that's been ingrained in your minds until now? #have you ever even read the history that you so claim to have happened? #I'm so sick and tired #today was literally so nauseating #yes I'm talking about the Ram mandir #And no I don't care if you people are religious but atleast know what your religion preaches? #and don't justify everything at the expense of someone else's religion? #thank you #hinduism #ayodhya

So, Where Are You Going?

We all have vision. We all strive towards an image or a goal. But it's not that someone has vision or no vision that makes the difference, the difference lies in how far it can reach. Your vision's reach could be this weekend, and that's about as far as it could get. It can be having a stable job and a happy family. It could be going as far being an old man looking at your grandchildren from a rocking chair. Allah Almighty doesn't criticize these visions in themselves, but He criticizes not seeing past them. In fact, Allah Almighty rhetorically asks us in Surah Al-Takwir this question by the end of the Surah's discourse:

A very profound question if we were to honestly ask ourselves. Almighty Allah is calling us to look ahead and reflect whether our perceived direction is really the only direction we are actually treading towards.

The irony here is that this is Surah Al-Takwir. The Surah that begins with the image of the sun losing its light, and stars falling out of place, and oceans flaring up. These are the catastrophic images before the commencement of the Day of Judgement. The universe collapses, and another one rises for Judgement. In essence, **Allah answered the question already: You are coming to Me**.

*That’s* where we are actually going. We look at our path, and we see perhaps we weren’t looking clearly all along. *Where did I think I was going?* Allah Almighty is essentially asking, why are you going around in circles, why don't you look at what's staring at you from far away.

A job, a family, old age and retirement aren’t just what’s awaiting us. *Allah is awaiting us*. And so, the questions implies preparation. Regardless of what we choose to perceive as our direction, straight or crooked, the destination is the same for each one of us. The destination of our Judgement is straight ahead.

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ

So where are you going?

It's important to note that despite how scary this post might come off. We shouldn't be. Allah Almighty mentions in other places how people hope to meet Allah and the last day. If we are attempting to do the best we can, it's completely fine to hope for this event, it's not wrong. After all, this is potentially the day you meet your loved ones. The day our sadness and turmoil leave us forever. The day we finally meet Almighty Allah. So, why would we want to get distracted and think we're going elsewhere?

society espec in the US talk a lot about cultural Christianity which like. yes is a thing and as a Muslim person cultural Christianity DEF affects Muslims & Jewish people and has led to the formation of sm antisemitism especially as well as Islamophobia. but i feel like we need to talk more about how cultural Christianity affects polytheists? because i swear to God every time someone tries to be progressive about religion they still "accidentally" leave out polytheists, or think it's too big a task to handle, but like. there are more than three religions out there. i just think it's weird.

#ides.txt #again im a Muslim so i dont speak from the experience of following a polytheistic religion #but like. i feel like people will think about Hinduism for 2 seconds and then be like okay i'm done #tbh ive been thinking abt this ever since i saw that one blog thats like #LGBTQIA+ religious experiences are like <- changing it so it doesn't filter into that blog's purview #and then someone was like hey why are these just about Judaism Christianity and Islam and they were like sorry that's what we meant #it makes me feel like i'm going insane
