Ready to process my ~religious trauma~ with the book I had to read for my pur*ty class!! 👹😈🫡



Okay well…. I did it.

Hahahah idk what to think. I read it fairly open-minded and I would say there were still some positives to be gained like mindfulness practice and meditation. Also seeking mentorship can be very beneficial

But mostly it was not great.

My biggest icks
-The language describing relationships with god as being intimate and possessive “set apart for himself”, “a god who tailor designs servants”, “live to please him”, “god isn’t content for us to bring him the leftover parts of ourselves after are given our love elsewhere. He wants to be our first love.”, “he made you for himself”, “sex in marriage shows us a picture of what our relationship with him can be—perfect oneness.”
It was interesting that the message was extremely intimacy adverse in all instances except for between the reader and god… Idk most of it would be seen describing a really toxic and possessive partner if taken out of context
-calling for complete and total obedience to parents with no exceptions except for “when they ask you to violate god’s word”. That assumes a lot about the intention of everyone’s parents. Instilling values is different than seeking to force obedience which is what this rhetoric focused on.
-it was homophobic. “The fact that we females were created from man does a lot to explain why we yearn to be in relationship with the opposite sex”
-“you are my provider and it does not please you when I complain” 🥴
-“when we seek to please our Master first, we will find purpose and freedom.” 😐
-“consider friendship a practice for your future marriage.” Mmmm no actually platonic relationships have inherent value on their own
-“how can you put a muzzle on your mouth to protect you from sinning in ways you have before?” 🫣





Hopefully this is outdated and not a true representation of a devotional people would do currently but… idk I still did this in high school and it’s not good so…
