are there any other Christians in systems on here and do y’all have any advice on explaining multiplicity from a Christian perspective because all I can find are things like “God will heal your broken soul from DID” and uh. no thanks?
“A theology of love cannot afford to be sentimental. It cannot afford to preach edifying generalities about charity, while identifying ‘peace’ with mere established power and legalized violence against the oppressed. A theology of love cannot be allowed merely to serve the interests of the rich and powerful, justifying their wars, their violence and their bombs, while exhorting the poor and underprivileged to practice patience, meekness, longsuffering, and to solve their problems, if at all, nonviolently. The theology of love must seek to deal realistically with the evil and injustice in the world, and not merely to compromise with them. Such a theology will have to take note of the ambiguous realities of politics, without embracing the specious myth of a “realism” that merely justifies force in the service of established power. Theology does not exist merely to appease the already too untroubled conscience of the powerful and the established. A theology of love may also conceivably turn out to be a theology of revolution. In any case, it is a theology of resistance, a refusal of the evil that reduces a brother to homicidal desperation. Instead of preaching the Cross for others and advising them to suffer patiently the violence which we sweetly impose on them, with the aid of armies and police, we might conceivably recognize the right of the less fortunate to use force, and study more seriously the practice of nonviolence and humane methods on our own part when, as it happens, we possess the most stupendous arsenal of power the world has ever known.”
spring is terrible holiday-wise on tumblr. you have the uninformed pagans accusing christians of “stealing their holidays”, and then when jewish people are like “hey, actually, many of them DO appropriate OUR holy days”, everyone’s like “i can’t read suddenly. i don’t know.”
being a witch in college like “i carry an endless barrage of weird shit with me everywhere and never use any of it”
“St Francis receives the stigmata” is a great motif because it’s just

Want to read the Bible but don’t like reading? Find it easier to learn when you are watching or listening? Then you might enjoy this website: https://www.bible.com/videos/2006/series These video clips contain the entire gospel of Mark. The dramatization is very faithful to text (it’s just word for word narration basically) and the time period (with Middle Eastern actors speaking aramaic!) so overall it is a very interesting project and worth checking out! It’s called the Lumos Project. 🙂
