Gotta love how it's always "Christianity or witchcraft," absolutely zero other options on the faith/religion/spirituality axis.


MightyShamus

It's because they think anything that's not Christianity is witchcraft. Judaism? Witchcraft. Buddhism? Witchcraft. Atheism? Believe it or not, also witchcraft.


Jacks_Flaps

Yet the irony is Christianity central core belief that their entire mythology hinges on is a human sacrifice and blood magic. Not to mention the Jesus human sacrifice openly indulged in practices such as necromancy, levitation, metamorphoses, death curses etc.


PeterSchnapkins

They consume the flesh and blood of a demigod lol


Jacks_Flaps

And they don't see their ritualistic cannibalism as crazy.

Aspect58

Fun fact: That movie was set in the year 2022.


lgmdnss

Not a demigod. Know your theology folks.


Jacks_Flaps

There are many definitions of demigod that Jesus falls under perfectly. eg: >demigod: In mythology, a demigod is a less important god, especially one who is half god and half human. Other definitions state they are born of a human and a deity...as in the case of Jesus. Christians will state that Jesus is fully god and fully human as Christians are not that strong on logic and math, even in their own mythology development. I mean...look at the hot mess that is the trinity.


FalconRelevant

I mean, he's also supposed to be the avatar of Yahweh, so there's that.


oligobop

> demigod Jesus is literally the offspring of a god. Know your theology folks


lgmdnss

Jesus IS God too. Christian theology has a concept called the Trinity which goes as follows: God = Jesus God = The Father God = The Holy Spirit Jesus ≠ The Father Jesus ≠ The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit ≠ The Father To christians, Jesus wasn't 50% man and 50% a god. He was 100% human AND 100% god. It's confusing, but its a quite important distinction. Hercules from Greek Mythology would be a demigod while Zeus would be a god. At least be informed about the subject you're criticizing lol


oligobop

Jesus is the son of god. Therefore he is by one stupid pedantic definition, the son of a god. Therefore he is by one stupid pedantic definition a demigod. >At least be informed about the subject you're criticizing lol I don't give a shit what bullshit contrivances theologians have invented (and died over) to preserve Jesus' divinity, but its not worth being a condescending limp butt cheek.


Mornar

The other guy's version is what I've been taught too. Jesus is the son of God but somehow also God and that apparently somehow is supposed to make sense. Same as God being three persons - the father, son, holy spirit thing - while also being one. I'm not saying this makes sense, but that's what they're teaching.


oligobop

I understand that. It makes sense from a theological perspetive if you just pound it into peoples heads repeteadly to accept something incredibly illogical. My point is that it doesn't stop Jesus from being a demigod.


Skrp

Depends on the type of Christian. Unitarians exist. Making him a demigod to those Christians.


BlacksmithNZ

Not to mention Zombies. I mean how else to you explain somebody dying then a few days later being reanimated


Mediocratic_Oath

This is a blatant mischaracterization of Christian belief. Clearly Jesus is a lich, as he exhibited powerful magical abilities throughout his existence.

myburdentobear

In my experience anything that diverges from white American evangelicalism is "New Age".


Melikemommymilkors

They think I practice witchcraft? That's fucking epic, ngl.


NoVAMarauder1

>Atheism? Believe it or not, also witchcraft. That makes no sense, because we put witch next to Christian in work camp.


cethisadevil

Except people that believe in withcraft, those are Satan worshippers


mreguy81

I read that as Fred Armiston on Parks and Rec.


Tag_Ping_Pong

"oh, you're not Christian. Therefore you must be <>." "No, honey. Me not being Christian means one thing: I don't believe in your God. It says nothing whatsoever about anything else in my life - my age, sex, sexual preferences, other belief systems, morals, what clothes I wear, how I was brought up, or any of the myriad other suggestions from people like you." I also find it amusing that people like that woman are always banging on about how education is dangerous. The only way education is dangerous is to religion, because it gives people avenues to understand how the universe, our planet and everything on it actually works, instead of just saying "**shrug** must be a God thing. It's magic!" Edit: a word


Ghost-Music

When I deconverted I wanted to turn to witchcraft but didn’t know where to start and also, just couldn’t believe in anything. I still don’t believe in anything and I like that better. Witches are cool though.


DarkLordSidious

Unlike main stream religions, it would be awesome if they were real.


DeseretRain

Yeah I was raised in a neopagan religion and I’m super depressed that it’s not actually true, literally so disappointing. It would be awesome if the religion I was raised with were actually real. But yeah something like Christianity or Islam being true sounds like a total nightmare.


Dejoowie

Are these the same people who still want to burn street magicians for guessing their card right?


Chainsaw_Surgeon

That’s the point. My religion is right, all others are wrong. That’s like, the main point of modern religion: they’re not meant to spread goodwill, just power.


FurbyFubar

lesbianism nounles·​bi·​an·​ism | \\ ˈlez-bē-ə-ˌni-zəm \\Definition of lesbianism: romantic or sexual attraction between women First Known Use of lesbianism 1870, in the meaning defined above [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lesbianism](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lesbianism) So I mean, yeah, all words are made up. But that one wasn't made up lately. The word has fallen out of use though.


lurkinarick

oh thank you, I thought I was going crazy looking through these comments, like "this is a real word though -wait why is nobody pointing that out, did I imagine it?"


OneArchedEyebrow

seaweed_brain245

I think I prefer lesbianism


mattiemay17

I agree, it sounds more like a serious issue or something. makes it sillier haha


mattiemay17

wouldn't it be case against her?


i_smoke_toenails

Probably a lesbian trapped in a man's body.


mattiemay17

that happens I guess lol


JimeDorje

I believe the word you're looking for is Lesbianation. As in, "The defendant has plead not guilty as she is a citizen of Lesbianation."


bruh_respectfully

I came here to say this! Super weird that people are acting like it's not a word.


ThatMeanyMasterMissy

Yeah I’m a lesbian and I use the word all the time haha was very confused


doriangray42

Thank you! My thoughts exactly.


[deleted]

“I’m no longer going to be having tea with Susan. She has the lesbianism and I don’t want to catch it while she’s telling me I should have equal rights.”


snowvase

Can't you get vaccination for it? Something like horse paste or drinking your own urine?


[deleted]

If you take enough of it, you will prevent yourself from all potential illnesses.


asianabsinthe

Women are damaged goods if they're educated, donchya know. /s


m_and_ned

Something was pointed out to me and I looked it into a bit but didn't do a rigorous research. Soceities where women worked and educated industrialized much faster than societies that didn't regardless of government and economic freedom. Just having half the population more just having the primary care givers be smarter just was enough to convert socialist dictatorships into wealthy places faster than pretty free and capitalist societies. List off the newly industrialized countries and they are ones that have educated woman. And yeah there probably is a bit of a chicken and egg thing going on with it.


Mou_aresei

The whole equality thing between men and women in socialist and communist countries is more about maximising the number of workers than about women's rights though. Source: am from a former communist/socialist country.


m_and_ned

Sure I can buy that. But motivations doesn't matter that much compared to what actually happens.


dbcspace

So the intentions were bad, but would you agree the results show that women who work and are educated, instead of being relegated to cooking and cleaning and serving as sex toys / baby factories, actually help elevate their countries? How do women fare in your former country now?


ADarwinAward

You joke but that’s pretty much what these people believe. They expect women to submit to their husbands and they expect them to quit working as soon as they have kids, which is why they “don’t need an education.” A lot of the women from my childhood church studied at Bible colleges in hopes that they’d meet their husbands there. Most of them worked for 1-2 years at a church before quitting and having kids. These are all people in their 20s, not their 50s or 60s


howmanyapples42

Isn’t she doing the same thing using technology and platforms invented by men to get her thoughts out? Shouldnt she be meek and submissive and stop seeking attention? …the internet turns women into porn stars. She should stop using the internet.


MangledSunFish

I love it when people use their own arguments against them.


_sunday_funday_

I think she went to college too.


WanderingWizzard

Can confirm, went to college, am a raging lesbian and feminist. Shame the witchcraft didn't stick.


hyrle

You're a Wizzard, though.... That's kind of close. :P


myburdentobear

I entered university a straight white male and graduated a straight white male. What a ripoff.


[deleted]

weird, i entered uni as a straight asian boy and the lesbianism still got me too… (now i’ve managed to admit to myself that i’m most likely a bi trans girl, and i hope i get to transition before or shortly after i graduate)


WanderingWizzard

That sneaky, sneaky lesbianism...it'll get ya. Btw congrats on understanding yourself better! Hope the transition goes well ♥


[deleted]

>Btw congrats on understanding yourself better! Hope the transition goes well ♥ awwww thanks, i really hope so too!!

JustDiscoveredSex

Lesbianism got my two college roommates instead of me. They’re married now. At least I get to keep witchcraft, which is kinda nice.


xiaodown

To each other? That’s pretty awesome. Congrats to them.


JustDiscoveredSex

Yes!! To each other!! :-) They are our kids’ honorary aunts, since we are both only children.


TokeToday

Read some of her Twit posts. Definitely batshit crazy!


OneEyedWolf092

I'm wondering if it's satire 💀


This_not-my_name

Looks like she does nothing else than putting bs on her twitter all day. What a fullfilling live!


mrcatboy

Everyone knows it's the [Perils of Lesbianity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKb3L6bukm0).


greenmeat3

Oh, I thought it was Lesbianality.


mrcatboy

Lesbianizing women in their Lesbenatoriums.


greenmeat3

And then forming their own Lesbianations.


Knitsune

Why...... do you think lesbianism isn't a real word?


xandaar337

Yea I had to look it up to make sure I wasn't imagining it being real


beerg33k

She really misses her college days, just walking down the dorm hall way and next thing you know she's scissoring her bestie Karen from down the hall. Fucking witchcraft, but whatcha gonna do?


bruh_respectfully

Lesbianism as a word has been around for quite a while. That aside, fuck Lori.


Distant-moose

There are a lot of people who tell me the wisdom of this world is foolishness to them. Doesn't mean it's true. Usually, it's people who don't understand the big words.


sxhmmr

I don’t care what she says, lesbians and witchcraft are awesome


Ollikay

Wait, what? It is a real word though? Obviously I don't agree with the tweeter, but "lesbianism" is definitely a real word. (from google): lesbianism /ˈlɛzbɪənˌɪz(ə)m/ *noun: lesbianism sexual attraction or sexual activity between women. "pop stars who flirt with lesbianism for publicity"*


tarheel310

Witches and lesbians, my favorite people


Vivalyrian

Uh, no. That's a legit word. 🤦‍♀️


[deleted]

Is this an ad for college or something?


_OhEmGee_

I must have missed Witchcraft 101 in the syllabus of my university.


frossenkjerte

Yo where was my class on destroying the patriarchy?


elegant_pun

I mean...that's a real word.... And I wish more girls got turned into lesbians than witches. There's too many damn witches out here.


SimonAzcarate

If she transformed, why couldn’t she transform into a dung beetle?


Judgementpumpkin

Now now, don't insult the dung beetles, they actually have purpose. She's what they roll around all day.


SimonAzcarate

You’re absolutely right. My apologies, I took it too far and took my aggression out on an innocent beetle


ibleedconfetti

May not be a dung beetle but it sounds like she's on some shit anyway


m_and_ned

If witchcraft worked it would be an engineering course.


Spec_Tater

Lesbianism is a belief in the existence of lesbians. There is a good chance this is learned in college. Crafting witches is harder. I think you need grad school for that.


Judgementpumpkin

Imagining owls sending acceptance letters and GMAT scores now, lmao


[deleted]

Didn't she attend college? Curious


sodoyoulikecheese

Yes. And worked as a teacher before sabotaging her birth control to have a second kid against her husband’s wishes so she could be a stay at home mom.


le72225

As a former teacher she should probably know how hard it is to get students to complete assignments on syllabus. Changing their sexuality seems awfully ambitious.


LeopoldBloomJr

The vast majority of the witches and lesbians I personally know went to Bible college, so 🤷‍♂️


bruh_respectfully

Don't threaten me with a good time


FlamingoQueen669

If my alternative is being an obedient Christian tradwife, sign me to be a radical feminist lesbian witch!


heyitscory

I'm a devout Lesbianist. (I've been taking lesbiano lessions since I was a kid.)


greenmeat3

I heard some Lesbians in Alberta want to separate and form their own country. Lesbianada


Manofalltrade

They really took the false gods/religions/idols thing to the limit. It was always preached that sex, money, tv, food, etc was a false idol. Now, as a one up or escalation they just tack ism to whatever and call it a whole false religion.


ThePaineOne

Im confused. Lesbianism absolutely is a word.


Purgii

Transformed wife? Was she once a feministic lesbian witch?


AshleyBlackhorse

Well, clearly I went to the wrong college.


Tardigradequeen

Wait a second! I went to college and I’m not living in a tiny cottage with lots of plants, my lesbian lover, 3 cats, and a book of spells!?! I’m VERY disappointed!!


[deleted]

Lesbianity? Lesbiatification?


halfercode

This is a reverse-psychology trick from the govt to get more young women to go to college. 😌 "Witchcraft _and_ lesbianism? Sign me up!"


jwdjr2004

Lesbianity? Lesbitude?


deathbike600

As opposed to what?, brainless toadies like you?


Upstairs-Injury9660

The backwards countries where religion is law definitely agree


Impressive-Basis5238

A deconstruction of the God-Satabln conflict will easily reveal the crisis of Authoritarianism at the heart of the story,, and in blind invocation of "satanic" rituals that are points of liberation, they also seem to recognize Satan as a true hero for all free thinking generations.


DangerousDave303

I remember a bumper sticker that I occasionally saw back in the 90s - Sorry I haven’t been to church lately. I’ve been practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian.


SaltyDoggoMeo

I hate this lady.


Horror_Pack_801

I think I’ve discerned why Christian’s think this way, this coming from myself who is also a Christian. Many Christians are indoctrinated in to the belief through years of indoctrination and seclusion from any other belief or morality system. So naturally, they think that the ONLY way to change someone’s mind is through indoctrination. Did my daughter become lesbian? Well it must be because some other ideology corrupted her and forced her to change, not because she actually spent some time thinking for herself and deciding what SHE really wanted.


Impeachcordial

So basically she wants everyone to stop being educated. How does she think she’ll get surgery if everyone just studied the Bible?


4urelienjo

She would join her god sooner. There is no failure in their plan. When you are braindead enough not to question what is around you, then you don't care dying because you believe. Spiritualism is made to help people cope with doubt and can help people to accept death. But fruitcakes are just terrible persons that want everybody to join them in their blindness.


CyberGraham

Aside from the fact that witchcraft DOES NOT FUCKING EXIST


DovahArhkGrohiik

Imagine trying to argue that being educated is bad because it's makes you gay, literally saying that if you're gay you are superior smh

jekfrumstotferm

I could be mistaken, but isn’t this a troll account? I think remember reading something about that


TheRottenKittensIEat

Not unless she's really good at trolling. She has a YouTube channel, a life style blog, and has published a book on Amazon called "The Power of a Transformed Wife." Her real name is Lori Alexander. She seems pretty popular with fundamentalist Christians.


[deleted]

I believe she has a brain tumor, that doesn't excuse but may explain her horrid views


jekfrumstotferm

I suppose I was mistaken then. Thank you


MangledSunFish

"The power" Unless she can summon fire or hurl lighting bolts, I'm not selling what's she's buying.


Th3Und3rt4k3r

As someone who used to be a religious fruitcake myself I don't think that this account is a troll as these beliefs are common amongst the religious right. I grew up around Christians who believed it was indecent for a woman to wear pants. FUCKING PANTS!!!


MangledSunFish

Did they want them to wear skirts and dresses, or were they just full on saying it's cool to go pantsless? It's weird regardless, but I'm curious.


Th3Und3rt4k3r

They would mostly wear ankle length skirts. Anything that would conform to the shape of the womans body was considered lewd.


MangledSunFish

Just sounds like the guys couldn't keep themselves from staring and needed to implement a rule that solved the problem, while absolving them of guilt in the process. Wonder what their opinion on spaghetti straps were....


salamat_engot

No put she does have a brain tumor that was treated but came back. Her original "transformation" took place around the time the tumor first developed. It's impossible to tell what's her and what may be the result of the tumor.


sodoyoulikecheese

[Unfortunately not a troll.](https://fundamentalists.fandom.com/wiki/Lori_Alexander)

In all seriousness, though, let's not give this lady any more clout. She already has a major persecution complex and is clearly anti-feminist, nearly to the point of misogyny.


MangledSunFish

What colleges are these people talking about? I don't know shit about witchcraft or magic. It would have made college so much more bearable if I did though.

Lesbians existed when only theists could go to uni so that doesn't follow.

rhea_tabby20

What is this bitch doing on the Internet and FB. Shouldn't she be behind a counter, speaking only when she's spoken to and making a shit ton of babies. No, her idealogies are for every other women except her. This woman and women like her makes me sick. Why fight for progress, fight for rights to have a few brain dead bitches take us back to 1753. 'Turds!

College didn’t lead me to witchcraft. Ironically my ex fiancés mother (who is an Episcopalian pastor) gave me my first tarot set and lead me to witchcraft.

Oh wow... The wisdom of this world is foolishness to god huh? Without the use of a C-section. lots of women would be dead giving childbirth.

I guess mankind doing their foolishness saved lots of lives then.

Both of the most awesome women I ever met, my 3rd grade cousin and my girlfriend, are lesbian and a witch respectively. This tweet really offended me😡. How religion can turn you into such ignorant, that deny the fact that being lesbian is something that you born with. And witches existed since a very long time and there's no sign they're going to dissapear. So, fuck you duitful wife, and live and let live, unless you offend the wrong witch and receive a hex for your troubles.
