I believe that the church and government are not the same. The government is designed to listen to people, and the church is about telling people what to do.
Religion is often used as a tool to provide order, and to find a central leadership. Like in the Middle ages, where religion was used to appoint leaders and give them absolute authority.
But that’s not Government. Government is people electing others they believe hold their same goals.
When the Church gets involved in Government, it creates a problem. Because the church tries to tell the Government how to act, which breaks the initial purpose of government, which is to uphold the views of the people.
People need to stop glorifying stretch marks and fat rolls. You can tell people their beautiful all you want, but you know what's beautiful? VS models. Tell your followers to get some coco butter or lazor surgery to look like them. Stop romantisizing imperfections.
photos not mine - found on google images under “vs models untouched”
Guess what kiddos? Skin isn’t plastic/rubber! When you move it will stretch, or bunch, or pull, or roll. It’s what skin does!! And marks happen -to everyone-
There is nothing wrong with those who want to get cosmetic surgery, because it’s what will make them happy.
But that “Stop romanticizing imperfections“ bullshit isn’t applicable. It’s not romanticizing imperfections, it’s accepting the body for how it is naturally, and realizing that it’s okay to exist and to love yourself as you are, without having to live up to other people’s ideals of ‘perfect’ photoshopped beauty.

Heterosexuality is a couch. Nobody even bats an eye if you keep it in the living room for everyone to see–it’s simply expected. I mean, where the hell else would you keep it? Hidden in a bedroom? No, that would be weird.
Homosexuality is a bed. Having a bed in a public room is considered weird and gross–you’re expected to keep it in private bedroom you close the door to before anyone else comes over. Because even though there are a million and one things someone can do sitting on a bed
that aren’t sexual (and plenty of ways to have sex on a couch), the first and foremost thing anyone associates beds with is sex.
Bisexuality is a Western-style futon. Sometimes it functions like a couch, sometimes it functions like a bed, but whichever position it’s in at the moment, it’s still a goddamn futon. People who want to use it as a couch give you shit for not having a real
couch; people who want to use it as a bed give you shit for not having a
real bed. It’s acceptable in your living room, but only if you make extra certain to put it in couch position and hide the sheets before company comes over. Otherwise, you’d better hide it in a guest room.
Asexuality is a table. No matter how many times you tell people it’s not meant to be sat on, dickheads with no manners will try to park their nasty asses on it anyway.
DONT ASK ME THIS, THIS IS HOW THE TROJAN WAR STARTED, I DONT WANT THIS MAN
Right away, Aphrodite popped into my head.
And then I’m just like, “DAMMIT, DID YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM PARIS? YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT, AND NOW ALL THE TROJANS ARE DEAD. I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY.”
If you are ever actually in this situation, pro-tip: name Persephone. Half the goddesses will be too surprised to smite you immediately and while Hades won’t do you any favors he may at least high-five you while your on your way down.
Another tip: name Mesperyian. Not only will you shock everyone, including her (since Aphrodite was a jealous ho who burnt half her face off), but you’ll win Hades’ favour. As his most beloved daughter, anything that praises her will make you a kind human to her, an okay human to him, and a genuinely good person to anyone else.
I heartily endorse this alternative answer.
I love how all of this advice leads to “please Hades at all costs.”
Hades was actually pretty chill. He would let souls do as they please if the souls weren’t complete assholes. But Persephone, she was the one you had to appeal to. Whatever she says becomes underworld law. So if asked, say Persephone.
I’m not a youtuber blog, but I feel like this has to be said.
In Markiplier’s co-op Forest video with JackSepticEye, they were discussing how they have to move around a bit because fans keep finding out where they live. Once again, Mark has to move.
Just because youtubers entertain you, does not mean you have the right to invade their privacy, especially going as far as knocking at their door.
Mark, and other youtubers, are human beings. They deserve privacy just as much as we do. Please respect that.
Especially from Mark’s standpoint, seeing as he’s introverted, to introverts- home is sacred and safe. When a random stranger shows up at your doorstep, the safeness is removed.
Please do not make someone feel unsafe in their own homes.
