@HWiT20 @archersdailys @Hamm3R999 @MountainDew that doesn’t really track when looking at the rest of the world. C.H. has one of the highest avg salaries in the world. According to https://t.co/ruPl2fycJk, servers are paid an avg of CFH 18/hr. And yet, the cost of a restaurant meal there is on par to what you pay in the US.
anyone know of any essays/books/ resources that talks about the Theory of Existentialism through the lens of Imago Dei theology? And/or the belief of humans as “mini-creators” (a theory/term I was introduced to from one of Tolkien’s short stories in a long ago Eng. Lit. class)
@zoemjack @peytonology @rachsyme i finished IJ abt a month ago & i still ~frequently~ (dare i say almost daily) think abt the ending.
quick disclaimer: it took abt 350 pages to finally understand what was happening (which took the longest to read) but the pace picked up *significantly* after that!
@KirkMcCall68 @robertjmonson i read this about 6 years ago now & i’m still unsure if i liked it or not, haha. i was also still in high school, which might be relevant
@joynessthebrave honestly, i read the book and wasn’t impressed.
waaay too trope-y (pls leave ~she’s not like other girls~ in the past) & i found the prose convoluted just to sound “pretty”
all of that to say, i actually did enjoy the movie, much more than the book, at least. in
Writing against bad theology because you enjoy feeling smarter than other people and writing against bad theology because you love good theology are totally different things.
You can tell the difference when reading it and you can see the difference it makes in people’s souls.
God is not asking you to choose between loving and supporting your LGBTQ+ kids and following him.
And any church or pastor who tells you to abandon your queer child in the name of God has completely forsaken the way of Jesus.
This is cheap gift shop religion, and it can go to hell.
We need God back in schools?
When was God in schools? Was it when we were segregating schools? Was it when Black children were harassed on the way to school?
And now you wanna bring God back to get shot up?
Hell no.
