““We must not seek the child Jesus in the pretty figures of our Christmas cribs. We must seek him among the undernourished children who have gone to bed tonight with nothing to eat, among the poor newsboys who will sleep covered with newspapers in doorways.””

— Saint Oscar Romero

To commit violence in the name of Jesus is such a cruel, grave sin.

christian zionists say they want to level Gaza and build the third temple so Jesus can return, but what do they plan to say when they look Him in the eye?

"do you like the temple we built You? we built it on the bones of children. we built it by denying food to the hungry, and medicine to the sick. we killed the healers and the truth tellers, and we killed them for You. that's how much we love You, don't you see?"

but the Lord will not see, for His eyes will be too filled with tears.

The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God,

the Father almighty,

Creator of heaven and earth,

and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died and was buried;

he descended into hell;

on the third day he rose again from the dead;

he ascended into heaven,

and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;

from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic Church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and life everlasting.

Amen.

It sucks that I even have to speak about this, but it really needs to be addressed. When a Christian blog refers to themselves as "progressive," it really does mean that they are progressive. People of other religions and atheists don't have the right to come onto these pages and treat them like conservatives simply for their faith. You are the only one responsible for your feed. The more hate comments you leave on Christian posts, the more the algorithm is going to push them to your feed because it sees you interacting. If you don't like Christian posts, simply scroll or hit the "uninterested" button.

I dislike the fact that I have had to delete some people's comments and block them to keep this a hate free zone. I don't even debate with these people because of how useless it is. This page and my main page are safe spaces for everyone and is not limited to only Christian interaction. I love people regardless of their beliefs or lack thereof and I love learning about other religions, so it is sad to see this interaction being used in a negative way. I even got hate from an atheist on my post speaking against ai for whatever reason.

My page will be staying Christian. It will be staying progressive. It will be staying queer affirming as I am queer. It will be staying anti-racist. It will be staying anti-sexist. It will be staying anti-ai. It will be staying anti-forced conversion as I converted myself on my own time without influnce from anybody else. And it will be staying anti-conservative.

It is up to the atheists and those of other beliefs to take it into their own hands whether they want to believe me or not, but if their choice is negative, it is not welcomed in my comment sections. They can knock the sand from their feet.

If society were truly child-centered...

You wouldn't be able to deny life saving medical care on the basis of your religious beliefs. A child centered society will not allow a child to die because their parents' religious beliefs forbid blood transfusions or vaccines. A child's life >>>>> your religious beliefs.

The full time work week would be shorter than 40 hours. A child centered society would want parents to have more time and energy to care for their children. It wouldn't create a society where the school schedule is 7-2 and the work schedule is 9-5.

Maternity leave would be long and paid, because a child centered society recognizes how invaluable it is to care for a child. That a year or two without a worker is a worthy price to pay for the wellbeing of a child.

We would have universal health care, because a child centered society would never let a child die because their parents couldn't afford it. It would never allow a child to be orphaned because their parent couldn't afford medical treatment for themselves.

Caring professions would be fairly paid. Because a child centered society recognizes the inherent nobility in care work.

Cities would allow for mixed use zoning, expanded transportation and walkability. Most children are incapable of driving until they're 15-18 years old. They deserve to be able to move independantly in a safe way. They would have better social development from being able to more easily go to parks/libraries/third spaces.

A child-centered society would not create slurs for children without fathers, like the teem Bastard. Children do not deserve to be humiliated because they haven't been branded with someone's last name.

Education on child developing, parenting classes and the like would be more accessible.

People often say our society is child centered, it is not. Our society protects children because children are property under our current system. In a patriarchal society a child's only real value is increasing a man's genetic lineage and disabling women. That's why our society screams at women to make more babies while cutting Medicaid and refusing to provide paid maternity leave. Or by allowing trucks so big the driver can't even see a child in front of them. Or allowing parents to neglect their kids and call it homeschooling. Or ripping kids away from loving, yet impoverished families vs giving those families support. Or allowing ICE to arrest a frightened five year old and ship him thousands of miles away from his home.

They don't care about the child's well being. They care about ensuring men continue their genetic legacy and that women are trapped by domestic labor. Anything outside of that gets denigrated. That's why the pro-life party doesn't want free school lunch. That doesn't do anything to disable women or further a man's genetic lineage so what's the point?

Being a progressive Christian is lowkey tiring in that I want to be wary of which blogs I interact and follow. I can’t just mindlessly scroll. I’m taking that like back if it comes from a blogger who is against my lgbt siblings in Christ. I’m clicking “not interested in this blog” if the Christian running it thinks yoga comes from the devil because I’m not interested in supporting racists under the guise of religion. I’m not interested in any Christian who insults foreign things as “paganism” because 1) Pagans are children of God too and 2) fuck racism. And I’m not interested in Christian “tradwives” because as a woman with more age and life experience than the typical 24 yr old tradewife, I know how dangerous, and frankly stupid, that is on every level.

I’m not saying we can’t interact with other Christians who don’t believe exactly in what they believe in. We can make relationships with people of different beliefs in real life. But as far as the internet goes, I don’t want to be giving them a platform and training the algorithm to push them onto others. it’s just annoying to check profiles..

The pontifex requested we all pray for immediate disarmament and peace, and asked us to bring as many people as possible to join in prayer with him in the month of March. If you can sit in meditation and pray at any time this month, please do so. All people are welcome to pray with us.

Let us pray that nations move toward effective disarmament, particularly nuclear disarmament, and that world leaders choose the path of dial

There’s a kind of cruelty in praise and worship.

I don’t mean actual worship. I mean the hand waving, eye closing, sing-songy stuff so popular in evangelical circles today.

And I can’t help but wonder. If they scream songs to the God that they claim to love

To drown out the sounds of screaming children being murdered overseas.

Or if they close their eyes to block out the sight of the poor freezing to death outside their church.

What does the Creator think when we harm with the hands he gave us to heal

When we treat church like a country club

“HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD” they proclaim

When their great God is starving, sick, and OD’d on the side of the road.

It’s easier to sing songs than to serve. Remember that.

Trump is now claiming this war is to bring out the end times and for Jesus's return. Lord forgive me because I CANNOT forgive the Christians who allowed our faith to be hijacked by these politicians.

To the Catholics that voted for Trump because of abortion, do you think your vote saved lives? It didn't save these lives

What's funny is your vote didn't even save unborn lives. We have more abortions now than ever before because YOU voted for politicians that cut every social safety net that prevents women from getting abortions in the first place. Congratulations!!

To the Catholics that voted for Trump because they wanted to punish people of color or gay people, was it worth it? It's funny because Trump's most destructive policies are hitting these republican strongholds harder than every other state and city. When they cut SNAP, California mobilized their national gaurd to distribute food. What did the republican politicians you voted for do?

You let them distract you with culture war nonsense. You focused on the less than 2% of Americans that are trans instead of your failing infrastructure and your inability to pay for your own survival! Well! Let's see how much energy for hatred you have when you're fucking starving because half the world refuses to trade with us.

You voted for people who blashpemy the name of Jesus Christ and use His Holy Name to justify slaughter. Do you know how sick that is? Jesus, who died at the hands of an authoritarian regime just like the one you voted for. And you use his name to justify this? You use the impending slaughter you're about to inflict as a sacrifice to Christ? May God have mercy on you. May god have mercy on you. May God have mercy on you!
