In my dreams, you lay your sorrow on the table, and the air between us is soft and we have time.

As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:

“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

    Is anyone else annoyed by religious people, specifically christians, who assume you don’t believe because you resent that “God” put you in a wheelchair or gave you which ever disability you may have? No muthafucker I just don’t accept you’re inconsistent explanations for what happens to non-believers who never had a chance to “be saved”! I don’t want to get all r/atheist on y’all so stop me if I do

        I said don’t tempt me Sheitan lol. But seriously I’m not religious either but if I was I still would not believe that interpretation of disability and I blame protestants for perpetrating search wretched beliefs. Protestantism really fucked Westerners up!

      I’m pretty sure they do this kind of thing (along with because you want sin/you hate god/the church hurt you and I’m sure a million others) because they don’t want to hear or think about your actual reasons. If you have an issue to point out with believing/worshiping they can’t answer, they are happy to just glue another reason on you as being the real reason you don’t believe. I’ve had many theists do this to me, its very lazy and transparent for anyone not already invested in their position. A deflection for the in group. Oh pay no attention to them, they’re just mad at god! Why would we listen to someone who’s mad at god?
