okay.
i’m very sorry some have religious trauma. sincerely, i am really sorry about that. but please do not project it onto mark. it does not help. if you choose not to embrace his visions and the concepts he chooses, and decide from there that you don’t want to listen to his music or see his future works- of course that’s your own personal choice. but please don’t make posts mocking his faith and beliefs or say he’s being “brainwashed in a religious cult” or smth. please don’t project onto him. you wouldn’t need to be a long-term fan to know religion has always been important to mark from day 1, from even before the firstfruit. if that makes you uncomfortable, choosing to quietly leave is so much healthier than projecting on mark or hoping he changes his beliefs and how important his religion is to him. whether it’s religious trauma or just general discomfort of seeing religious themes being openly used as a form of expression in creative works, i promise that mocking or projecting onto mark will not heal or change any of that.
