“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.
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.
And honestly, my reading of the bible would seem to indicate that should any "god" be so real and so evil, the human spirit should absolutely be able to reject and physically kill them. I almost hope it's true because shit bro Final Fantasy in real life let's fuckin' kill 'em
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...
@MaggyWells@drdrbrockman Sure but this article names the specific people and players involved in one aspect of the Christofascist takeover. that seems valuable to me?

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
