@LaundryQueen__ @sheilagregoire This is a lie from the pit of hell.

New: Republicans are hammering “Joe Biden’s America” as a land of rising violent crime, surging immigration and out-of-control inflation.

But homicides are down 9%.

Illegal border crossings are at the lowest level in 2+ years.

Inflation is now below 3%.

@DoloresGMorris @BethMooreLPM Yes!!! Mary was sitting at the feet of Jesus as a disciple, as one of the disciples. This story should end 99% of the stupid man discussion.

@Greg1Garrett @nytimes Yes I agree with needing to be uncomfortable. This highlights a massive flaw in our system. Bills need to be streamlined and simplified so they can effectively get voted on not packed to the gills with every possible partisan issue.

@_megconley Wow that’s nonsense. It’s always easy ignore someone when they start with childish insults. On top of that he’s arguing against long established procedures for helping elevate people out of human trafficking. This dude doesn’t even understand…

@MuiRebekah I think this happens if you make this a primary issue rather than a secondary or tertiary issue. Like I have comp friends that would never get close to this point because they take other beliefs much more seriously. But even then they shine in spite of comp. ideas not because of.

Unwanted Attention

Once, at a Christian conference, I got caught in an elevator with one of the speakers. He looked at me for a while. Awkward. Then he said to me, "God told me he doesn't want you to wear glasses. You don't need them. Let me pray for your healing right now!"

I said, "No, thank you!"

He looked wounded and baffled at once.

I was the host of the conference. Didn't look good on me.

But I have to be honest. I didn't believe him.

Wearing glasses is not a disability. But I sure can identify a bit with my disabled friends who are constantly harassed by well-intentioned people who want to heal them and fit them back into the community as "normal" people.

Imagine being constantly prayed upon in a way that disrupts your valid attempts to just be there as you are! Without having to be able-bodied and therefore "normal".

This applies to my friends with invisible disabilities as well.

I think this obsession to miraculously heal people is often motivated by an anxious need for God to prove themself and make everyone "normal".

Discrimination is often driven by this anxiety while cloaked in good intentions.

Alt text: cartoon of a woman in the aisle of a church with pews and no wheel chair space in the visible portion. A group of members lays hands on her and prays for a miracle out loud. One asks, "Do YOU believe in miracles?" The woman is thinking: "The real miracle would be if I could just go to church without all this unwanted attention." The pastor in the pulpit and additional members in the pews all look directly at the scene.
