The problem i have with the vast majority of tumblr catholics (and yes, including you) is that so many of you are very cruel, insincere, and behave awfully in general. I do not believe at all that you value supposed peace on earth and divinely ordained kindness when the most infamous tumblr catholics are known for being extremely racist, for one. You cannot resist butting into blogging communities of other religions to harass them. You judge others, unsolicited, and your assumptions of nonbelievers are arrogant at best. You yearn for a fictious golden past instead of striving to improve your present. You display no humility or restraint in your speech. To try and call this behavior christlike is apalling and I am embarrassed and quite sad to be associated with with people like you. I send this in the hopes that you will repent your ways and dedicate yourself to improvement.
Is there anything else you want to add?
Listen I know this is a hateful anon but like, if this is REALLY the way we appear to everyone then…holy crap that’s a problem. I never want to be the reason someone turns further from Christ. This…has really made me reevaluate some things.
I don’t put much weight into an anonymous face that gets facts wrong about things I post and the people I (directly) interact with. If someone was willing to speak to me in private sure, I’d listen. Hell I have even spoken against asshole Catholics more than once on here. But I do this already with people off and on tumblr, and have acted accordingly for years.
I suggest people do the same: talk to actual people or find their stories and evaluate from that. Sometimes people get hurt and vent unfairly to someone behind a mask, or they are just a bully trying to hurt more people the same way. I just let them vent and I move on. I genuinely suggest other people do the same.
Not a Catholic, but my issue with people with similar thinking like this, is that they tend to be the “don’t judge” types, who proceed to judge the F out of who they’re talking to. This person just typed up a whole bunch of nothing without really trying to get to know you and they’re not the only ones.
