Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 30/01/2026What consequences are there when 5 year olds are shamed for wearing a sun dress? When someone who was assaulted is threatened with excommuncation for wanting to get justice? When a 10 year old child must publically apologize to the pastor's wife for seducing him? The church is the problem. 5/5 000
Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 30/01/2026And you might say "but Paul says in romans, that faith isn't permission to sin more!" Is it sin when you can call your abuse "admonition" or "missing the mark" or "for all have fallen short of the glory of god"? Because you can just say "jesus forgave me, so you have to forgive me" to a victim. 4/? 100
Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 30/01/2026To the average person, this "blame and shame, but then relief just by saying the magic words" appeals because it makes you feel better. To anyone who loves to abuse others, this is a ticket to freely abuse anyone they like. It's why abuse is so rampant, so ingrained, so constant in Christianity. 4/? 100
Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 30/01/2026But also that those in power will be corrupted by it, due to needing to endlessly silence those who would complain. The nature of the church itself encourages corruption. As it is a cult, it requires victims to join up, being told they are loved, but guilty, but also FREE FROM CONSEQUENCES. 2/? 100
Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 30/01/2026We blame the institution that "faith removes the consequences of and excuses all criminal activity in the eyes of the church". It's bull to say "we want them charged". Because the institution must look blameless in order to recruit. This not only means that victims are blamed for making a fuss, 1/? 100

Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 08/02/2025No need for the quote marks. This is so common in the church that they even have a word for people who report them: jezebels (those who would destroy the church). 000
Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 08/02/2025No. Don't give us one second more of your "no true scotsman". This is what Christianity is. Stop pretending you can't think of a Sunday school teacher who is/was a little too handsy. The church protects them, supports them, and gives them a room full of kids to supervise. I was a victim of that. 🖕 110

Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Absolutely. So many men in the churches i went to were so GROSS towards children. And no one batted an EYE! 010
Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 08/02/2025He did this in full view of everyone coming down. He did this to children while their parents watched. To wives while their husbands watched. And when he actually assaulted someone who went to him for advice, I was forbidden to go and voice my complaints. I was 14, my sister was 10. 2/2 110
Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 08/02/2025This right here. My sister and I used to run out the back of the church, in the snow without jackets to avoid the pastor who gave all women and little girls extra long, groping hugs. He stood outside the cloak room and you couldn't slip by. He shook the hands of the men and boys of course. 🤮 1/ 110
Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Absolutely. He's such a snarky jerk, and we all know he'll roll for Trump. 020

Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Please don't. A lot of ATCs are probably going to quit over the risk that they'll be the one who can't talk to enough pilots at once and people die. It's not safe. 000

Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Can we stop making headlines "this new game is these two other games combined!" It's makes the game sound unoriginal.

Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 23/01/2025I'll never vote for him, but sometimes his mouth opens up and the stupid things he says are better than the Alberta MP saying "i love the taste of boots, I hope people can step on me more next time".

Dembai @dembai.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Here's a hint: it helps some random rich guy who voted for him. This is the end of atlas shrugged. The rich are pulling out of pretending to give a shit and they assume we will simply devour each other trying to get the rich people to come back. 061
