And as someone who’s been a practicing witch for 20 years, I know first hand that we as spiritual/witches take watered down ideas from other people’s cultures and apply them as seen fit.
I would like for Drew Afualo to please shut the fuck up. All that we are learning from this whole conversation is that misogyny is so engrained in our culture that biological women are not allowed to have their own space.
Womanhood and femininity is the only space that is constantly redefined to accommodate everyone. Biological women do not matter and our issues as biological women have to be challenged and when we stand up for ourselves we’re called “terfs”.
Saying that there are some spaces reserved exclusively for cis women within feminism is NOT being a “terf” it means that not everything is for everyone and that’s okay.
The Christians that debated her also lacked that understanding. They were too focused on the biblical God and forgot that God is BIGGER than the Bible, sin, etc. Jesus is bigger than the Bible. But Christianity limits him to the book.
The idea of “the universe” or spirituality is lacking that the first uncaused cause is 100% intentional. There are no accidents in the creation of the universe.
“Why do Catholics hate everyone?” Catholics run the world’s top medical systems, education systems, and charities.
“What about the dark history of the Catholic Church” you can’t erase ANYONES dark past, but you can work to create a better future.
“Why do you think Catholicism is apostolic?” because we have documentation of every pope directly to St. Peter. Orthodox is also apostolic…
“Why do Catholics hate protestants?” We don’t
“Why don’t you read the Bible?” We do, every Mass, actually
“Why don’t you believe in sola scriptura?” We believe in preserving apostolic traditions, history, culture, and you guessed it, scripture.
