Seeing as almost no one has visited my blog so far and I
have only had one comment I am pretty much assuming that the few views I have
gotten are from close friends who feel some sort of obligation.
Most of the close friends I have that would feel that
obligation probably found the link to my blog on Facebook and therefore
probably also know that I spend a decent amount of time on a Facebook group
called Stuff Christian Culture Likes (SCCL).
This is a blog post written by one of the other group
members who has been there longer than I have. I want to post this because I
feel like it gives a fair and balanced look at what SCCL is and why people are
there and why I am there. I don’t agree with everything the author says, but I
still think it is a fair assessment and a good summary.
Before I post the link I want to post the "about" section from
SCCL’s Facebook page. This will help give some context for those who have
stumbled upon SCCL but don’t really know what it is.
“This blog is devoted to the stuff American
evangelical culture likes.
Description
This forum is for people who have been harmed
by Christian culture. This page is a safe space for people who have never had a
place where they can speak their true feelings that don't look pretty. After we
get this out (and it often takes awhile to recover from because it was drilled
into us for so long) we can emerge with true positivity and hope. It is such a
beautiful thing when abuse survivors can offer the world something more than
their sneer. Until then, they can vent here. I completely understand if it's
not your scene.”
Now if I was good at the internet I would be able to reblog
this article, (that is a thing right? Reblogging?) but I’m not so here is a link.
Oh and cause this is kinda serious I thought I would post a picture of a cat eating pizza.
I am not a close friend, I do not feel obligated, and I have been following for a few weeks. Be heartened.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I really appreciate you commenting.
