okay I seen people on TikTok fight about this it’s messing with my mind ofc I’m not gonna let people tell me what to do or change my life for the benefit of them but i genuinely wanna know?
I’m Christian and I’ve been doing ALT styles since the age of 14, kinda emo, trippy, edgy a whole mix, I’m still into that stuff but now let’s add scene and porcelain Dollie style, I’m Christian and follow my Bible in my religion tho I don’t agree with something’s and still confused on such the whole point of Christianity though is to have a relationship with God + Jesus.
My political views: ANTI TRUMP, ANTI MAGA, protect LGBTQ+, protect furries, protect everyone atp, BLM, we shouldn’t be controlled and told what to do with our bodies like hello? I also voted for all the Democrats recently.
“the Bible goes everything against what we stand for” im confused here? I genuinely like all the styles I switch it up a lot also love cosplaying there’s never really a truly style I have people call me “alt” for being different but I don’t understand, death threats for being Christian?
I have a lot of friends that are alt and yk etc and don’t seem to mind my beliefs, so what is this really about? Tell me I’m kinda lost here ngl
One side says you can and the other side says you can’t so honestly this is debatable
Tell me ur concerns
They fr follow religion more than God, I did have bad experiences with a few churches I got told I was going to hell for red lipstick, piercings and tattoos a girl sitting behind me told me my piercings weren’t christian idk if it was whispering but certainly allowed for me to hear it
“Gay people go to hell” Bud okay have you thought about the straight people? Goodnesssss 😭
yes ofc
yeah I’m js like idek atp
They gotta deal with it that I’m alt I’m not one of THOSE christians 😭
Wait huh?
How does being Alt go against Christianity 😭
It’s more like people think on tiktok u can’t be alt and christian
Ohhh
That's weird tbh
It is 😭 😭
Not one other religion is mentioned
Well I think it probably is, just your fyp doesn't show it since you prob have Christian and alt stuff
I don’t know i respect other religions but they told me satanist can be alts not christian bc they think God is a fairytale, how do they believe Satan exists but not God?
There has to be a good and evil
I also saw a alt Muslim like it’s okay guys
Well for like the church of satan its more he represents the human race
Idk about the cults tho
I mean yeah its ok, but maybe they're more traditional (like the other religions and stuff?)
And they just don't allow the alt style making people leave
Im not a religious person but I have a pretty good deal of respect for the ideas that it not only holds but is able to spread. Along with some misgivings about particular ideas espoused that it spreads just as much.
But the core tenet of your belief, from what I’ve heard talking to people from Christian denominations, is to love thy neighbor. You got some fluff and some Old Testament fear in there but that’s the meat of it as far as I know.
What the hells a style got to do with any of that? And Tik Tok is not the hill you want to die on, no reason you should be changing around your life for a bunch of strangers if it isn’t hurting anyone. Do what you want.
This is why I avoid the Religion and Politics because it brings so much bad energy to the table
Why can’t people live how they wanna live at the end of the fucking day
isn't one of Christianity's core tenets the disavowment of lgbtq+, or like, gay people.
Other than that, being alt is fine aig, the people just want you to conform.
Being christian is ok bc you choose to be christian but when you choose to be christian but never follow it you're kinda not following what the christian faith stands for if that makes sense
lowkey it’s just a very confusing topic I agree with just living how you want to live I didn’t mean to be mean but I was like “oh gosh here comes the alt police” I just feel like people have to much time on their hands to care also it’s true that tiktok is the worse place to be set on
they said it’s not a style it’s about music, politics and ur views on life
Not a core tenet but yeah its mentioned in the good book. Sort of depends on your denomination thought, Catholicism can vary in it's tolerance since the Pope sort of decides that. The previous Pope as far as I know, was very supportive of the LBGTQ+ movement, though I can't say much about the new one.
