God transcends gender and I am made in God's image.

[michaeldoesreligion]

I truly believe that doubt is how faith grows. Sitting down with ourself and really questioning "why do I believe this?". It's helped me many times grow closer to God.

So hey, you. If you've doubted your faith, your belief, even yourself recently, I hope and pray that you get the answers you need.

God wants your broken heart, your contrite spirit, the most honest and raw forms of them. He desires your weakness be given to him to bear, that your tears be small offers of prayers. You needn't to fix your heart before you stand at the foot of the Lord, instead bring your crumbling heart and your weeping to Him so he may be your strength.

how do we live through this?

It does bother me a little bit when people call esoteric works like the Book of Revelation "incomprehensible". It's not! It's just esoteric! It was written by real people for materially comprehensible reasons!

The underlying message of apocalyptic literature as a social technology is geopolitical. It says "don't worry; God has a plan."

Things to Do in the Belly of the Whale by Dan Albergotti

[givemearmstopraywith]

the church is really like: gender is fake. God is a woman. jesus christ is our mother. you can experience sexual, sensual pleasure with God. the first apostle was a woman. female sexuality is a cornerstone of the history of ecstatic mysticism. you are a chivalrous knight to the Lord’s maiden. you can nurse from God’s breast and be nourished on his milk. and somehow almost none of this made it into actual christian practice.

[givemearmstopraywith]

all of this is foundational to christianity, it is interwoven into the basis of all christian practice, and yet somehow we wound up with one of the most bigoted, violent, sexist, misogynistic downright dangerous religious practices in history.

have u heard abt the anglican schism

the truly unfortunate thing about the archbishop of caturbury, is that basically nobody cares if they are not in communion with anyone else.

Also: it always comes down to women in the church doesn't it?

THE TWO GREAT DEMONS LOOMING OVER THE ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS: real estate and women

[iscariotapologist]

i've said it before and i will continue to say it religion and God and life are so so so much bigger and more astonishingly beautiful than fundamentalism will ever allow you to see and once you and your God can get yourselves out of those tiny pathetic boxes they try to fit the two of you into you can find more genuine joy and meaning in religion and spirituality than you ever thought possible. if you want. i promise

[godshousecat]

Christ should radicalize you.
