Opposing this law on religious grounds is precisely why it should be passed. If your religion forbids you, then don’t. But not a single thing should be denied the public by coercing people to submit to your religion

This whole thread captured my feeling too. I have friends who ask why I don’t go to a liberal congregation, and I’m like just cuz a woman is preaching and they have rainbow flags doesn’t mean the institutional/congregational bullshit isn’t there.

It’s from the novel “under the net”. It’s a dialogue from the book that the character Jack wrote that he cribbed from his friend Hugo

Effective #spiritualcare begins with the use of self as a disciplined instrument, informed by the behavioral sciences and shaped by reflective practice. Notice your emotional responses, body language, and assumptions in each encounter, these often communicate more than your words. 1/x #medsky

Today on Volts: I'm joined by the great @michaelhobbes.bsky.social to discuss "reactionary centrism," an intellectual tendency that's come to dominate US public life. You know the type: would never view themselves as conservative, yet finds voluntary pronoun use vastly more aggravating than fascism.

They should be asked as an additional question to explain how their interpretation of Romans 13 relates to Revelation 13 and for double bonus marks to comment on William Stringfellow's discussion of these passages. Asking Baptists to discuss an Episcopalian's theology I know is a stretch

The “we” is Moore opposing Mohler and their respective constituents. Two streams contesting the meaning/application of Rom 13

Why are we contesting the out of context meaning of other people's mail from 2000 years ago? Both Moore and Mohler hold beliefs that violate basic human rights as the will of God. Both want to impose their religion on others as a condition of their "religious freedom". @daviddark.bsky.social

True #spiritualcare means building communities where: All people have inherent dignity Safety supersedes institutional preservation Accountability is sacred work Leaving violence is supported, not shamed Religious freedom never means violating human rights #medsky

When sacred texts are weaponized to enforce control, forgiveness is mandated w/out accountability, divorce is stigmatized regardless of danger, basic human rights are opposed—these teachings remove protective factors rather than strengthening them. Spiritual harm compounds physical harm. 7/8 #medsky

The Critical Caveat However, religious communities that teach rigid gender hierarchy, unconditional submission, or "preservation of family at all costs" actually increase vulnerability to violence. #Theology has consequences. Bad theology kills. 6/8 #medsky #spiritualcare #exvangelical

Faith Communities: A Complex Factor Belonging to #faith or cultural communities that ACTIVELY PROMOTE NONVIOLENCE AND EQUALITY can be profoundly protective. These communities model healthy relationships, provide material support, and create cultures of accountability. 5/8 #medsky #spiritualcare

Skills for Navigating Crisis Good #coping and problem-solving skills function as internal resources when external circumstances become dangerous. #Education and #employment opportunities don't just provide income—they build self-efficacy, social networks, and pathways out. 4/8 #medsky

Economic Stability = Safety Options Access to stable #housing and income isn't just about comfort—it's about survival. Financial dependence traps people in dangerous situations. When individuals have economic resources and housing security, they have the power to leave and rebuild. 3/8 #medsky

Social Support Matters Profoundly Strong connections with friends, family, and #community create accountability and refuge. When someone has people who notice changes, ask questions, and offer sanctuary without judgment, isolation—a primary tactic of abuse—becomes harder to maintain. #medsky

It’s also very disheartening that this is where we are. Hospice workers have to be prepared for abusers disrupting end of life care. Nothing is sacred.
