État et religion : enjeux contemporains et populismes religieux
Face aux limites économiques de la mondialisation, et en réaction au sentiment d’insécurité culturelle, le modèle démocratique libéral classique se voit concurrencer par le regain des nationalismes. Les rapports entre le politique et le religieux se redessinent alors et des partenariats entre acteurs politiques et acteurs religieux se tissent.
“The word ‘prophet’ might bring to mind a Gandalf-like figure: long white beard, eyes that see into the spirit realm, etc. These Texas prophets don’t much resemble that image.“
#Christianity, like all #religions, is a reflection of its members. And on that basis, it is an absolutely shit #religion that exists to provide its members with justification for their #hate and #bigotry. That's what Christianity is all about now; hate, bigotry, and small-mined #discrimination towards a vulnerable minority community. Why would any decent person want to be associated with what is essentially a #hateGroup?

What Pisses Kerry King Off the Most
Kerry King still has plenty of rage, and here he reveals his most current boiling point and a long-running subject that has kept him pissed for years.
The Philippines is a conservative Catholic-majority nation, and many queer folk there feel excluded by the traditional church. They're turning to Roblox Filipino Catholics (RFC) as a more inclusive place where they can practice their faith. @restofworld's Patrick Kho spoke to queer Catholics about how they're finding community, preserving heritage, and even changing minds in this new space.
I drive an EV. I do not suggest that others drive an EV. It's the car for me, it might not be the car for you. Despite this, I have a friend that constantly engages in discussion with me on why I won't be able to convince her to get an EV.
I have never tried to convince anyone to get one! I'm not sure why she does this.
She does this concerning religious discussions too!
I'm not religious. Whether someone else is religious is their business. I don't care beyond what ever they try to compell me to do becuase of it. Same friend both tells me I won't convince her to become non religious while trying to convert me.
I grew up in a Christian Family! I had the owner of Chick Fil-A as a Sunday school teacher. I am familiar with Christianity, but not convinced. I'm not trying to deconvince anyone else.
You know, if you think of the Christian god from the perspective of a "jealous god and your admittance to heaven solely depends on your submission to HE", christian support of Trump kinda makes sense.
Of course, any such god is quite transparently The Bad Guy which is the core problem with such thinking, whether in support of Trump or Christianity.
Any god who cares about worship rather than good deeds, I'll meet in hell and I will have no mercy for them.
Christian Nationalism is a giant threat to our country. A danger to women, to minorities, to the marginalized and to democracy itself. While these white, Christian nationalists believe they’re saving the country from heathenism, what they’re really offering is a theocracy of top down control with themselves at the top. We must see this threat for what it is, and that starts with understanding. Tim Whitaker is the founder of the New Evangelicals, an inclusive, Jesus-centered community that holds space for those marginalized by the evangelical church and advocates for systemic change. Raised deep in the evangelical world – Tim had a crisis of faith watching his church leaders embrace a man who was so antithetical to what he had been taught to believe. He now holds the toxic churches and their leaders accountable, while still offering a home of faith to his fellow Christians. Please join us for this incredibly engaging conversation.

I am reading an article about how every time ancient art depicts a goddess as sexually alluring, they always get labeled a "goddess of fertility". Even when there is no indication of children, pregnancy, or anything fertile.
The article argues that some goddesses were deities of sex and pleasure, without the maternal fertility aspect.
I am like 🤯 🤯 I have a whole entire archaeology degree and we never addressed this...
Katholikentag in Erfurt: Ein Blick auf Frieden und Demokratie
Nach fünf Tagen geht der Katholikentag zu Ende. Rund 40.000 Menschen haben an Diskussionen, Konzerten und Veranstaltungen teilgenommen. Auch hochrangige Politiker besuchten das Treffen in Erfurt.
How can this be constitutional? Our founding fathers are turning over in their graves. Early American settlers were in many cases fleeing state-sponsored religion. That’s why we have SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE written into the US constitution. #legal#constitution#religion#StateSponsoredReligion
Beware of politicians who blame vulnerable groups for your problems - they’re the ones not talking about making your life better but about making someone else’s life worse.
Their target may be refugees or a religious group or an ethnic group or trans folks. But whoever the vulnerable minority is, the message is basically the same: you’re supposed to believe that denying these people their rights will somehow help you and your family. It won’t, of course. Don’t buy it.
“The Remnant Alliance is just the latest version of an ongoing effort to politicize evangelical pastors and their congregations by the radical right wing of the Republican Party.”
Though I'm a practicing #Christian I welcome any religious or non religious person who loves humanity and wants to do good for all of it. While my dad was very sick last week that he passed we welcomed people from protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu traditions to pray with us and they did.
Not out of desperation but out of solidarity in love.
We welcomed thoughts of atheists as well and were grateful for their solidarity in love for my dad. #religion
J'ai du mal a comprendre qu'une partie de la planète crève de ne plus vouloir porter le voile islamique pendant qu'une autre petite partie se bat pour le porter partout.
