@morganstrehlow 🙋♀️ if I am to be “wrong” I chose to be wrong believing one’s sexuality isn’t what separates them frm God. I’m unsure what I believe about salvation but I know Jesus asks us to love our neighbors & I can’t live my life condemning everyone around me.
@akmcclen Homeschooled 1-12th! The biggest is I vote democrat and am pro choice. A lot of things I didn’t truly believe but couldn’t argue against (like young earth or being gay = going to hell.) I also attend an affirming church lead by a woman.
There is absolutely nothing Christlike about a Christianity that neglects the poor, subjugates women, turns away immigrants, excludes LGBTQ+ folks, gets cozy with white supremacy, or disparages people with disabilities.
Stop baptizing oppression with the name of Jesus.
@taylorsschumann I have a 6 yr old boy & his peers are tender & sweet. The boys in his class give each other hugs & write sweet notes on drawings (his class is diverse too, so not just one type of parenting style) Society beats it out of them.
@rchamberlainphd My mom advocated homeschool rights despite not realizing a lot of her peers stopped caring when their kids got to high school. I think she thought all parents made sure their kids transcripts were accurate 🤨
Kansas State Rep. Sean Tarwater (R) says that he is voting to restrict food assistance to poor, older Kansans because people "are staying home and using taxpayer dollars to buy food."
"I was brought up in an era and by parents that taught me that I have to work for what I get."
Kind of wild how my Tennessee Republican colleagues are literally in overdrive to manufacture a fake “insurrection” by moms and students to deflect conversations from the thousands of Tennesseans who showed up demanding they act to stop kids from being murdered in school.
Responding with “thoughts and prayers” in the face of perpetual gun violence while we do nothing to prevent it only reveals that we are not actually thinking or praying.
Authentic thinking and praying never leads to apathy in the face of injustice.
It is spiritualizing apathy.
Did you know? When Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004, mass shootings increased by 245%. — These numbers tell a story.
