When you are posting on tumblr, do not add your commentary to the text of the post, in case others disagree with you and the original poster may come and say to you, "Make your own post," and then you will be in disgrace. But when you post, add your commentary to the tags, so that when the original poster sees them, they may say to you, ‘Friend, do not hide this in the tags'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who blog with you.

giving all my love to queer christians, catholics, and christopagans, as well as queers in any other religion where your sexuality isn’t seen in high regard.

shout out to you all because we all carry the burden of having to explain our intersecting spirituality and identity to those who haven’t done any research, refuse to, and/or really don’t want to know what you think and just want to tell you you’re wrong.

it really shouldn’t be our jobs to educate others on why i believe in this and think this is an okay thing to do in my own life because for whatever reason you’ve made MY life YOUR problem.

and i’m not talking about people asking questions in good faith about something you generally would not be able to find out online besides asking for a stranger’s lived experience with it. i’m talking about the people coming into comment sections and anonymously in inboxes asking for a scholar’s level of biblical/religious knowledge and memorized verses to prove why their out of context understandings aren’t true.

i know those people are just getting angry to be angry and ragebaiting users like myself to interact and give them an ego trip, but its really not my job to engage w them and i really don’t care to. interactions like that will never be productive and will never yield anything other than one person or another shifting from theological points and explainations to why the user is a terrible person and going to hell.

You have to be respectful of other religions and atheism. You do not have to conform your faith to the expectations of those who are hostile to it.

Sometimes worship looks like whispering prayers of gratitude before falling asleep. Sometimes it looks like smiling at the sunlight as you're talking a walk. Or remembering to read that one book that has been collecting dust for too long. Or lighting up a tea candle

It doesn't have to involve reciting prayers long as "Marína" by Sládkovič (if you get the reference, I love you). Keeping Gods in my thoughts and honouring Them with the small ways is how I worship them <3

before you ask "are the gods mad at me?" THINK:

have you...

1. killed or maimed someone

2. killed or maimed an animal for purposes other than consuming/processing it

3. knowingly and purposefully hurled vile obscenities or insults at any god or gods

4. made it a life goal to be a terrible person

5. been a terf

IF YOU SAID NO TO ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS then girl you're fine go have a dr. pepper

It’s taken me a long time to get it but the reason why Christianity works for me after decades of exploring other spiritualities is that Christianity, in its best places, says “Trust this Creation and the Creator behind it as the single priority in your life.” It can take a while to dig past all the Platonic popular reinterpretations but at the bottom of it you don’t have to transcend, you don’t have to separate yourself from this world and take on a “spiritual life” - you don’t have to escape the body or the earth or the trees because you are part of this Creation and all of Creation is being made new again. So you eat your hamburger and hug your friend and laugh while fishing and trust in this visitation by this God who became humanly embodied and did all those same things and promised everything is taken care of and that’s it, that’s literally it. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

I’m so grateful I’ve found that.

I’m a lesbian and a Catholic which means the only man I’ll ever marry is Jesus Christ the Son of God Bridegroom to the Church and I eat his literal flesh and drink his actual blood every week through the transubstantiated Eucharist in remembrance of when he was here on earth and looking forward to when he will come back

“You just need the right man” I found him. It’s Jesus. We’re one flesh now. Yeah he died for my sins and in doing so united me to the creator God Almighty. He was dressed up for the occasion and everything. He kissed me on the forehead and led me to my girlfriend and said go love her as I loved you be happy. My husband is seated at the right hand of God from which he will come to judge the living and the dead if you care. Yeah I tried to pray the gay away but he cupped my face in his hands and said “there is nothing about you that needs to be fixed. You are holy as I am holy.” He had me nail my internalized homophobia to the cross and he carried it for me. The Holy Spirit gave me the rizz to flirt with my girlfriend when we met well enough that she fell in love with me and when we get married and she’s my wife I’m going to thank my husband Jesus Christ.
