I feel like it's less scary if you're not told it's real your whole life.

Since today is supposed to be the rapture... John Nelson Darby, who invented it (or stolen it) believed emancipation ruined nations and likely saw the end of slavery as a sign of the end times.

So, yes, American conservative Christianity has a history of condoning SA and slaveowner theology is the basis for evangelicalism today.

CW: SA and Racism During the 1800s, it was a belief taught by Christians that white wives should be ok with their white, slave owning husband r@ping Black women, and sometimes men, because he was exercising his biblical dominion over his household.

We remember that America is the land of oppression that we taught to call "freedom."

People are losing medical care. We are funding a genocide. Women and LGBTQ+ have had their rights stripped. Refugees are demonized. The disabled are dehumanized. And the richest of the rich profit.

On July 4th this year, we remember that our country just celebrated opening a new concentration camp. People are forced into slave labor in ICE detainment centers. Access to food was taken away from children.

Today is going national "war is a Christian value to protect God's people" day at the majority of evangelical churches. I wish they cared about life more than they romanticize violent killings.

When I left the evangelical church, they said I was doing it so I could live a life is sin. Those same people now call empathy a sin. So, yeah, I did leave to live a life of sin.

I know how much people would scream "persecution" if there was a single legislative bill limiting Christianity in public. Please explain, how there's been over 900 bills proposed against trans people (predominantly by Christians politicians and groups) and they do not see this as persecution?

I think one of the biggest lies we were supposed to believe was that people wanted Biden to step down because he was old. We wanted him to step down because he policies were inhumane.

Before anyone says "the book of Jude..." The book of Jude says they desired "unnatural flesh," meaning they wanted to have sex with angels, who weren't of nature. It's a reference to the book of Enoch, not Genesis. But also, the desire to gang rape is still mistreatment, not sexual orientation.

Considering the fact that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah is mistreatment of others, especially the poor and needy, America does celebrate the sin of Sodom... But it's in the first few days of July, not the month of June.

It's not "pride" that comes before the fall. The Hebrew word in Proverbs 16:18 is גָּאוֹן and means "majesty." The same word used to describe both God's and empires' power. It is a condemnation of those seeking power and being great (again).

The logic was that they did not experience relational misogyny, and thus were excluded from womanhood. Any "feminism" that excludes on the basis of experience is still internalized misogyny.

Kalie May @kaliehargrove.com · 26/05/2025
A lot of people have been saying that trans women do not experience misogyny during puberty or have the experience if bleeding once a month, so they cannot be "real women." Besides being problematic in itself, this is the same type of reasoning that lesbians were excluded from early feminism.

The Bible very clearly says it is the wealthy that oppress you and a faith that prioritizes the rich over the poor is the as good as the faith of demons. But we are like, "we just need to prioritize the rich, because it's 'those people' causing the problems..."

"You can't change your chromosomes, you either have XX or XY" Ok, so let's say science could change a person's chromosomes, would you then see trans people as valid? Because if your answer is still no, then it was never about the science/biology, it is about an ideology that you want to enforce.

Many will see our government increase oppression, cut medical research, practice mass incarceration, and make the poor poorer... and still claim this is the year of the Lord's favor.

It's not that certain people see anything left of Nazism as "woke." It's that certain people see anything left of Jim Crow as "woke." We have our own fascist history that we can compare them to.

Ironically, the same people who taught me that "we need to follow God's laws, not the law of the land" when it came to the legalization of same-sex marriage... are the same ones refusing to follow God's laws about welcoming immigrants because they need to "follow the laws of the land."

When Jesus said, "you will know them by their fruit," this is what he meant. The fruit is not simply rotten. The fruit is death itself.

The removal of due process isn't new. It's been used to justify police murdering Black people, because "they had drugs in their system." It allowed white people to "justify" lynchings. It was used to "justify" genocide of Indigenous people. This has always been the tactic of white supremacy.

Fun Easter fact to share with your conservative family during dinner: The Greek word that is translated "risen" in "He is risen" is ἐγείρω, which simply means "to get up." However, it is also used as "to get up from sleep" or "to wake up." So, "He is woke" is also a correct statement for Easter.

There is an argument to be made that an omnipotent, omniscient choosing to create Christianity, knowing what it would be, could not also be loving.

Maundy Thursday is a reminder that the same Jesus that lowered himself to wash feet, is the same Jesus invoked to celebrate the "deportation" of innocence to death camps. It's ironic that so many Christians will celebrate the resurrection of life this weekend while having worshipped death all week

The Brandons are back! This season we are going through Matthew's Gospel again – this time, reading it under American authoritarianism. We're going to do it a little differently: each episode will have a guest co-host to join us in exploring the text. youtu.be/PJNPyB1swZ0?...

In 80 years, people will try to say "Trump wasn't Christian" to avoid the reality that this IS a Christian fascist movement.

Any time I being up Nazis being a Christian movement, I always get someone saying "Hitler wasn't a Christian" as a means to discredit the statement. Christofascism isn't about being Christian, is about using Christian supremacy to gain power and carry out the logical conclusion of that theology.

When I was younger, I was always told about the persecution Christians would face if liberals gained power. They would ban books, restrict access to schools, remove children from families, make public displays illegal, restrict the job market, and much more. 🧵

We have the ability to end hunger, poverty, and political violence (everything Jesus said he came to end in Luke 4:18), but won't because "those people" might benefit. Some people even create entire platforms spreading fear of "those people." In the end, we make the choice to keep the harm.

In all honesty, it was heretical to make Jesus into a lion when the Bible is pretty clear that the "Lion of Judah" is in fact a lamb. But yeah, a woman's voice is the theological issue...

A photo of Representative Self from Texas with the subtitles from a video that says "a direct quote from Joseph Goebbels."
Then under that is the entry for Goebbels from Wikipedia that highlights he was the Reich Minister of Propaganda.

It's easy to justify genocide when you believe your god will one day mass genocide all "bad" people for it's "all-good" purpose. Bad theology genocides.
