It's been a year since I've been in a church of any kind.

I kind of miss it. I miss our liturgy. I miss the beauty of the Grace Sanctuary. I miss the routine of "Hi Amber!" followed by Mama hugs.

But at the same time, I sense the Divine more when I'm at brunch with my best friend.

I'm sad.
 
"Cancel culture! OMGWTFBBQ!!!"

These same people go to church every Sunday, and the book they put so much stock in has story after story of a "just and loving God" cancelling various groups of humans. One time, he decided to wipe out all of them just because.

Thou shalt try really, really hard not to kill anyone...unless they pray to a different invisible man than the one you pray to!
 
Every God can be made to dance to any jig a believer wants. That is the beauty of belief. It is autobiography.
 
Western Theological Seminary in Holland told its LGBTQIA students "f you. You're never getting a certificate declaring you fit for ministry."

The last I checked, the Reformed Church in America is still hanging on, though the progressives, the centrists, and the hard right are all wondering when it will crack, crumble, and fall away.

Gun Salesman : We call this piece the Fecalator. One look at it and the target shits him or herself. Try it on.

Loki : Well, it's a lot more compact than the flaming sword, but it's not nearly as impressive. Just doesn't have that Wrath-of-the-Almighty edge to it. I mean, come on, how am I supposed to strike fear into the hearts of the wicked with this thing? Look at this...

Bartleby : Well, then, you know, don't use a gun. Just lay the place to waste, like.

Loki : Easy for you to say. You get off light in razing. You got to stand there and read at Sodom and Gomorrah, I had to do all the work.

Bartleby : What work did you do? You lit a few fires.

Loki : I rained down sulphur, man, there's a subtle difference.

Bartleby : Oh, yeah, I'm sure.

Loki : Hey, you know, fuck you, man. Any moron with a pack of matches can set a fire. Raining down sulphur is like an endurance trial man. Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, next to soccer.
 
International Women's Day was yesterday. You know... most fundies can't point out a single passage in their holy text celebrating the independence and intelligence of women.

They sure can point to lots of passages about female subservience that were written by men though!

And their ideal woman, Proverbs 31:10-31, basically glamorizes a woman who never prioritizes herself or her own needs.

Also, little known Queen Vashti from the book of Esther. The king was piss drunk and demanded Vashti show herself (appear nude) in front of him so he and his party guests can do horrible things to her. She's all like "no, I'm not doing that," so the king had her executed. I've been in churches where Vashti was shown to be the wrong kind of woman.
