Communicating trauma through art is fine, as long as you don’t remind the Christian fundies that their beliefs and practices are a prime source of religious trauma for lots of people.

    The two core principles of Conservatism, of which Christian Fundamentalism is a part:

    • I get to do what I want.
    • You have to do what I say.

    In the Religious Conservative’s mind, free speech means they get to say whatever they want about whomever they want (I get to do what I want). At the same time, free speech limitations suddenly apply when you have anything critical to say about their religion (you have to do what I say).

        I didn’t say only Christianity. I said Christian Fundamentalism is a part of Conservatism.

          And ‘Conservatism’ isn’t solely a Christian thing or Christian Fundamentalism thing too… something isn’t synchronizing with your analysis, but I get the general point (Free speech for me but not for thé)

            I didn’t say that either. I think you need to reread what I wrote; it syncs just fine, and I think you’re having trouble parsing it. Conservatism is the umbrella. Christian Fundamentalism falls under that umbrella, as do other things. That’s why in my original comment I said:

            The two core principles of Conservatism, of which Christian Fundamentalism is a part

            Added emphasis to clarify that I was very specific with the words I chose: “A part,” not the whole of my point. Later on, I mentioned Religious Conservatives, which would cover every religious person who is also a Conservative, including but not limited to Christian Fundamentalists.

            But yes, you get my general point.

              Ok, that’s a good explanation idk why it didn’t sync with me the first time… perhaps I’m bit distracted… my bad :(
