this server is a beautiful space for queer christians to bond over whatever crosses our minds, from missionaries to Jesus Christ Superstar to God honoring kink & im not just saying that bc i made it, i'm saying that bc this server has genuinely become a bright space in my life & my new friend's lives. i hope to meet you there soon <3

i made a post like this before but I can't find it now. so. I'll just redo it.
What's the first "big news story" you remember from when you were a kid?
It's something I love to ask mixed-aged groups sometimes because I think it's really interesting to see the responses. I've gotten answers from the Olympics of [whatever year] to Watergate to more recent stuff from my niblings.
My first news thing I remember is the OJ Simpson trial. I vaguely remember watching the news with my grandparents before that, but that's the first story I remember, in part because my second grade teacher had us go play so she could watch the verdict 😂
i have a random issue with a handful of pre-srar fall out boy songs where I LOVE the the start of the song or just generally everything but the chorus, but the chorus itself i find kind of underwhelming (eg: ilalwtwiattgyo, ttotbo, igatrimeanomf, cfmrfrpfmsr, gblogbd(dyptstsasgts)
Like a passionate lover [Mary Magdalene] ran and embraced the cross. Indeed, in order to see her Master she was bathed in blood. Surely you were drunk with love, oh Magdalen!
Listen I have zero theological backing here this is all just vibes but hear me out
Christ is chilling after ascending, yeah? He’s up there with his still fully human body—he didn’t unman, that’s heresy. And he’s also got his full human mind and will and all. We also see him eat both after the resurrection and in the depictions of the afterlife we’re given (the literal wedding feast of the second coming). So presumably he’s got all the regular human needs and aspects still. Yes he’s God and thus has that connection and those abilities and all, but he’s also a regular human guy (again, gotta be both or u get a funky heresy).
He’s been up there for a damn long time, not to mention however long it may still be till the second coming
And we know he’s busy with the whole “preparing a place for my bride” situation and also the work of being Jesus Christ and answering prayers and showing up in the Eucharist and all that and acting in the world and I’m sure that keeps him incredibly busy and active
But like do we think his human needs ever also manifested as “I wanna do something for fun and relaxation now”, especially since him being God and ascended kinda lets him do all the things at once across time and space so it’s not like he’d be neglecting anything
Basically what I’m saying is
Do we think Jesus Christ has created some batshit hobbies while up there? Like he’s doing stuff for the funsies and vibes we can’t even imagine yet bc hey he’s also human
And yeah he also for sure is coming down here and manifesting himself for funsies too basic theology affirms that so see Christ in your weird local hobby groups too absolutely
Brought to you by the mental image of Jesus spending some time just staring at every kind of beetle in creation or like walking along the depths of the sea watching the funky creatures he put down there or smth or just being like “okay it’s time for the joy of chilling in a lil patch of sunlight”
