I was reading my Bible and I came across this verse:
And all I could think was:
Introducing....
locust punk
*inspired by John the Baptist
bug collecting
milk with honey
nature
baptizing friends in the local creek
biblical angels everywhere (patches, tattoos, posters)
bible verses graffitied in bathroom stalls
grunge
talking long into the night on your roof about Heaven
keeping a prayer journal where you can cuss to God about your troubles
writing grunge songs for Jesus
selfies in cathedrals
proudly calling yourself a Jesus Freak
cross tattoos on the back of the neck
warrior makeup
apocalyptic aesthetic
This has been a PSA.

“Almighty God, give me wisdom to perceive You, intelligence to understand You, diligence to seek You, patience to wait for You, eyes to behold You, a heart to meditate upon You and life to proclaim You, through the power of the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”
~St. Benedict of Nursia

just a friendly reminder that this type of rhetoric is misleading, (in my opinion, slightly antisemitic) and not the way to go about fighting religious homophobes.
religious jews still follow these laws. we dont wear clothes that have a blend of wool & linen (laws of shatnez). fresh produce in israel follows all of the agricultural laws outlined in the torah. as for some of the other laws i always see referenced: we don’t eat shellfish or pork or anything prohibited by the torah. clean-shaven men will only ever use electric razors never blades. we don’t work on the sabbath, we observe the sanctioned holy days, we believe in, love and fear God and obey God’s commandments.
personally, i find the rhetoric harmful and insulting for three reasons. one, it only works on the (very christian) premise that the torah is outdated, and that ~nobody in their right mind~ would follow those laws anymore. two, it tends to ignore the fact that lgbtq+ orthodox jews exist and have to live through the struggle of being lgbtq+ and observant, despite community backlash, severe judgement and institutionalised homophobia. and three, it gives homophobia-masked-as-religious-observance some sort of legitimacy because yeah, the rest of those laws are kept in varying degrees by millions of people.
don’t fight homophobes by saying ‘look at all of these other ridiculous laws’ – those laws matter to a lot of people, including me, a jewish lesbian. instead, say ‘do not stand idly by your fellow’s blood (leviticus 19:16)’, ‘whoever humiliates another in public forfeits their place in the World to Come (avot 3:11), ‘one shall not say to a person words that hurt them or cause them pain against which they cannot stand (sefer hachinuch, mitzvah 338)’, ‘do not do to others that which you would not wish them to do to you. this is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary (gemara shabbat 31a)’, and what is perhaps one of my favorite verses in tanach, ‘to what is good and just is more preferable to God than sacrifice (proverbs 21:3)’.
oh, and here’s a good starting point for educating your religious friends and family members.

“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39 ESV
Just some of the beautiful prayer cards I found on a recent visit to Value Village; a few dated back to the 1930s. Inside were also newspaper clippings, anniversary cards, and letters. Some seemed to belong to a woman named Frances, others to someone named Maria. Frances wrote in Italian so I was not able to read her letters. You can still smell faint traces of perfume on these cards.
