I’m very much a religious syncretist, as, I suspect are many in this subreddit. Late last year Mother Mary came to me and asked me to start praying the rosary. I began doing so daily on New Year’s Day. I still consider myself Buddhist, but am also a folk catholic. And, not knowing it was pretty much controlled by conservative/fundie/evangelical Catholics I popped into r/catholicism, posted a pic of my rosary and said MM had appeared to me, asked me to pray the rosary, and it’s been one of the most powerful spiritual experiences of my life. Now it seems like whenever I say anything related to Catholicism on here I get tagged by guys complaining that I’m on liberal Christian subs and defending bodily sovereignty. These dudes don’t seem to give a shit about anything but social conservatism when their own religion, including the priesthood says that it’s not of central importance and doesn’t determine whether someone is Catholic. How do conservatives/fundies/evangelicals not understand why people don’t like them! Guys, you worship a god you yourselves say is infinite and beyond human understanding. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t hold people to 1950’s or Bronze Age morality, and I don’t think he gives a shit about dancing or watching violent movies either. Sorry. Maybe this doesn’t EXACTLY fit here, but I wasn’t sure where else to put it

I began identifying with the hippie label around July-August of 2024 during my time in the mental hospital. I was a practicing Christian and we saw a bit of the movie Jesus Revolution during my time there. I remember being encapsulated. By both the message of hippies and Christians and felt like mixing them together felt right to me. But recently I feel like I am a fake or I am not interacting with many hippies. I would like advice. What clothes should I wear? Should I go vegetarian? What should I do to fit in?

I have The Beatles faces on my scarf thar I used as skirt :)

Listening to Led Zeppelin thank you, when the levee breaks ⚡️☮️🌈

Hi friends. Does anyone have any recommendations for documentaries about the hippies in the 1960s? Specifically I want to learn about their protests against the war in Vietnam and the Human Be-In many thanks!! :)

We are the children of the world. When we see what is happening on our planet, we do not understand. Why is there war, people needlessly killing each other, rather than peace where everyone lives together in harmony? Why is there prejudice, judging others who look, believe, or act differently than we do; is not every life, regardless of our differences, equally important? Why is there hunger, when we have the ability and technology now to feed everyone alive? Why is there inequity with some people having much, while others struggle every day just to survive? Why are the adults ruining our environment, when we have the ability today to use green alternatives to end this senseless destruction? Why do we kill animals for food when we have alternate sources we may use instead of eating meat? When you look into the eyes of an animal, do you not see their Soul within? Why do adults accept living in a world of hate, prejudice, and fear rather than in a world of love, accepting everyone as equal, important, and worthwhile?

Though our elders have chosen to live in such a world, we do not accept their choices. Instead, we, the children of the world, choose to live in a world of unconditional love, rather than hate, allowing all who live on our planet to live in peace and harmony.
