“Do you realize that whatever we fantasize about matters to God? He is intimately aware and involved in our spiritual development. As Christians, it is critical that we censor our imaginations, because wrong thoughts can easily become wrong attitudes that give birth to sinful actions. Emotions can manifest with equal force whether incited by fantasy or reality. This fact alone fuels the pornography industry.”

Comparing whatever you’re trying to censor to pornography is a conservative trick that goes back decades, if not longer.

I’ll be honest, we’re idiots who mostly just do “/search/self ship” and pick through to find what’s good.
But here’s a taste of SOME of the blogs I’ve reblogged from in the last couple of months.
(if you’re a mutual and I left you off the list it was not intentional it was because we are huge forgetful dumb asses who are bad at stuff, or because we usually reblog stuff of yours that isn’t self ship!)
