Aren’t the “good” Christians required to “believe in the darkness of hell” so they are afraid of it and don’t do things which make them end up there?

What, did she think “Wicked” meant “she’s like a candle?”
(Or a tampon?)

From Middle English wicked, wikked, an alteration of Middle English wicke, wikke (“morally perverse, evil, wicked”). Of uncertain origin. Possibly from an adjectival use of Old English wiċċa (“wizard, sorcerer”), from Proto-West Germanic *wikkō (“necromancer, sorcerer”), though the phonology makes this theory difficult to explain. Alternatively, perhaps related to English wicker, Old Norse víkja (“to bend to, yield, turn, move”), Swedish vika (“to bend, fold, give way to”), English weak.
Evil or mischievous by nature. Synonyms: evil, immoral, malevolent, malicious, nefarious, twisted, villainous; see also Thesaurus:evil
Maybe Karen should read the Satanistic book called the dictionary.

while there are people like this, I’m pretty sure this is just trolling. Karen Smith? come on

Spot on, but we still play along with the charade because it’s cathartic. I was raised by people like this and I feel an inch closer to humanity when I get to talk shit on the strawman.

Yeah I was raised by a fundamentalist catholic family and I’ll never miss an opportunity to shit on the religion. Its like chicken soup for my abused inner child.

The post is probably fake but the sentiment is real. So is the childhood trauma. Source: grew up in a fundamentalist catholic household. Everything was the work of Satan.

What did you think the movie “Wicked” was about? A costume party?

She’s arguably one of the biggest contemporary pop star icons. She sings:
Thank U Next
7 Rings

Whoa, I knew about her since Disney something (bcs memes), but never heard any of these songs.
Truly blessed.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 months ago
She’s a young singer/actress. I think she may have worked with Disney before, but she’s marketing herself to the tween/young adult crowd, so I’m not exactly familiar with her work.

Is the someone who was trying all their lives to scare children of the frightful darkness of hell … and now they are mad about it?
Also, traditionally hell is depicted with hella-on-point cozy-mood indirect lighting, calling it darkness is a heinous sin and intolerant to black hearts everywhere.

It’s funny how just exposing the religious to alternative afterlife’s is enough to completely lose a lifetime of teaching and servitude, and strips away any inclination for a pleasant afterlife. No convincing or reapplying every seven days - nope, just being near a thing removes all of Jesus’ teachings.

I’ve made this argument to religious friends and family members resistant to trying psychedelics.
“If a little piece of paper or a little mushroom risks getting rid of God, what does that say about God?”
techwithjake@lemm.ee 5 months ago
I think it says more about their actual beliefs in God. As a Christ follower, I believe everyone has their own path to take. If drugs in moderation is one of them, go for it. Hell, it’s theorized Moses was tripping on shrooms when talking to God.
Those who fear being exposed to “other” things will take them away from God (beyond addiction, that’s a whole other thing), then they never believed in the first. They just use it as a shield to justify their horrible actions.
AA5B@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Presumably it says more about their faith ……
Here’s a ridiculous analogy
After a lifetime of falling from grace at the hands of two liter sodas, I understand that I’m weak in my self-control. Now I only drink soda in cans (despite the cost and environmental impact) as part of my commitment to moderation. Controlling the temptations I may not prevail over is part of my battle for moderation.
That says nothing about the power of big sodas to impact my health, my life, merely that I understand where I’m all too human
