October 1st you know what time it is

[Danté Stewart (Stew) @stewartdantec]

My faith became healthier and more liberating when I gave up the idea that God wanted to save us for heaven rather than free us on earth. I let go of a God who is a hate-filled ruler and embraced a God who is a grace-filled lover.

[Danté Stewart (Stew) @stewartdantec]

And then there are the Christians who say “now our work begins…let’s care for them.” That’s terrifying: if you can’t care for people until you win, then your theology never saw their humanity in the first place. They were only pawns in your game. That’s not of God or Jesus.

[Danté Stewart (Stew) @stewartdantec]

What makes me most sick is that Christians will celebrate and believe that God made it so. No, this is not God. It is years of Christians waging religious war. It is not about protection, love, or morality. All of this is about one thing only: power. White power.

Evangelicals, is it possible that the reason America has so many non-Christians isn’t because we’re not spreading the gospel, but because we’re not living it?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.

It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.

American exceptionalism: the only country in the world where people love guns more than they love children.

The teenagers who survived Columbine are in their late 30s and early 40s. They have kids in elementary schools.

how come a morning coffee makes me feel slightly awake and a 4pm coffee makes me want to walk around in a bathrobe with two pistols

[Carlos A. Rodríguez @CarlosHappyNPO]

Oh Holy Night has a verse that was intentionally left out in the 1800’s (and STILL today)

“Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is Love and His gospel is Peace.
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother, and in his name all oppression shall cease.”

Sing it

the worst hangs are where one person’s “starving” and the other “just ate”

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

Fake Christian persecution is insufferable.

[Sarah Spain @SarahSpain]

We never put a limit on what men can achieve with enough hard work & ambition, but we’re constantly doubting what’s possible for women.
