My Faith and What it Means to Me
10 years ago
So I finally decided to put a
christian-furs icon on my page. Yes, I was aware of it before (as well as the tons of other similar groups that are basically the same thing, but in different flavors), but I didn't know how prudent it was to announce it on an art site. But having met some wonderful Christian furs here in the past few weeks, I feel like it would be doing all of them a huge disservice if I wasn't as open as they were, so, there you go.
It's not something I want to hide, but it's not something I want to shove in everyone's face, either. I can't put into words how comforting it is to be a Christian, even if it comes with pressures, too. "I can't, God can" has helped me through more times of anxiety than I can count. I have also prayed for people on this very site. I don't say any of this to gloat; I fail God on a daily basis, but He has yet to fail me. I'm a big fan of the love part of Christianity, so I don't hate anyone. You know that "Loves you just for being here" part on my page? That's the jist, heh.
So, yeah, that's that. Just needed to be said.

So long as you accept other furs for who they are, that's all that matters to me

Works for me, brodent. I feel like being accepting and being a furry are par for the course, heh. Not a problem on my end.

Mhmm, and seeing as you're already got the gay furs icons on your page, telling you that I have a BF (otter, in case you're wondering) wouldn't bother you one bit

Ain't nothing wrong with that homie. I mean I may not be in the same uh "boat", but so long as you're not a dick about it, you could believe that god is giant sentient space dildo or something and I wouldn't care. c:

Thanks, Pastry. I mean, you know I've got your back regardless. Anthro fridge or rat or whatever.

Thank you for finally recognizing my true self. As a fridgekin life's a struggle when everyone uses the wrong pronouns.

You know, when observed properly, religion can motivate people to do great things. I am glad you are using your belief system the proper way, m8. Peace and love is always cool in my book.

It's the best way to interpret the message. But whether you're religious or not, it's just a good system to live by. Makes things better for everyone, and it comes back to you, heh.
