Artists are not a special category of human. They're just people who tolerated being garbage at a skill longer than most. Being garbage at something is painful and uncomfortable, but it's also NOT evidence that you're doing something wrong.
It is time for me to go to bed, so I will leave this here. I hope everyone has a good night/day, and I'll see y'all later. <3
16. As much as MAGA has effed up, it's NOT TOO LATE to stop and recant on what you have done, to ask forgiveness of God and your neighbors and start doing what's right. At the end of the day, we are all human, and being human means we fuck up. What matters is standing on the same side as Jesus.
15. I am not posting this to be a Pharisee. I am posting this in the hopes that maybe someone who needs it will find it, and know that they are not alone. I am the only one in my family that believes this, and I know I am not alone. You're not alone either.
14. (cont'd) This fight's going to be a long and hard one, but I know You'll see us through. To You be the honor and glory, o Lord. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
14. (cont'd) We, Your children, have been called to stand apart from the world and what it wants. And right now, what it wants might sound tempting, but You taught us to beware false teachings, to love others as You love us, and to be a beacon of light in a world that so desperately needs it.-"
14. I'd like to end on a note of prayer, as I wrap this up (and if y'all might indulge me): "Dear Heavenly Father, as we gaze upon the world as it stands and do our best not to fear (for You are with us), give us the strength to do what's right, because You know it isn't easy. -"
13. (cont'd again) -might be a good place to start. Y'all out here acting like YOUR shit don't stink! Well, honey bunches, it DOES. MAGA, your whole ATTITUDE stinks! I recommend unplugging from the Internet and touching grass, meditating, and reading your Bible as a start. (New Testament only!)
13. (cont'd) -I think I can sit this one out, and just lobby for the side who DOESN'T want a Christofacist nation! People who want our neighbors, friends, loved ones, enemies, and whomever else, to be able to FREELY live their lives and be HAPPY! Stop coveting your neighbors, I feel like that-
13. AMERICA IS A NATION OF CHOICES, AND WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO SHOULD GET TO HAVE A SAY IN HOW OUR BODIES, OUR MARRIAGES, OUR LIVES ARE GOVERNED! I am SICKED AND TIRED of saying I would defend someone, even if they don't believe the same as me, but that's America baby! Though right now-
12. Our very own Constitution confirms that we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, AND THAT CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAWS REGARDING RELIGION (First Amendment). Some of y'all can't effing understand that for some reason!
11. AMERICA IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION. Damn, I should've put this higher up, but I am tired lol and it's late. WE DON'T HAVE DIVINELY-APPOINTED RULERS, WE REBELLED AGAINST SUCH THINGS RATHER FAMOUSLY IN 1776. OUR RULERS ARE APPOINTED BY US, THE PEOPLE, AND WORK FOR US, THE PEOPLE. PERIOD.
10. Speaking of flipping tables, refer to Matthew 21:12-13 and Mark 11:15-18 for notes on how He feels about people selling stuff in the church/temple. (Spoiler: He doesn't like it! They are to be Houses of Prayer, not 'dens of robbers'!)
9. God made LGBTQIA+ people, He loves them, we love them too. End of story. (P*dos/N*zis can GTFO though, gonna flip your tables if we see them!)
8. -erase the debt that the old laws represented. Maybe even very sin that many of y'all say has infected the United States. Well, it either is or it isn't, so which is it? For Christians, the answer should be that Jesus is enough. His love is enough.
8. As the congregation, we are made of many vines sprouting from the main branch (Jesus). And some of y'all be out here quoting the Old Testament like Jesus' blood didn't wash away the old laws! What you're really saying when you quote that old book is that you don't believe Jesus was enough to-
7. Galatians 3:28 says that "There is no longer Jew or Gentile,[a] slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus." The congregation is one in the eyes of Christ, and I don't like how SOME (MAGAt CHRISTIANS) of y'all are behaving!! So this is my thread where I CALL Y'ALL OUT!
6. There are ALWAYS GOING to be others who are NOT like you in your community. Diversity is to be embraced! Jesus loves everyone, not BECAUSE they sin, or DESPITE the fact that they sin, but BECAUSE THEY ARE ALSO CHILDREN OF GOD. We have ALL been made in HIS image!
5. (cont'd) -that Christ has given us! I cannot stress how IMPORTANT it is that we do not just give our money to the poor, but that we also LOVE THEM. Seriously, it's not hard. Give others the same grace that Christ gave you.
5. I think that there is a certain amount of importance on wealth, but one cannot undermine also the importance of also loving our neighbors and our community. We were not called to ONLY love those who believe like us, but also those who don't! We are to BE the light in the world, to BE the love-
4. For Christians still hung up on the 'sell your possessions and give the money to the poor, I refer you to Mark 10:29, where Jesus promises that everything and everyone we give up for His cause, we will receive 100 times as much as what we give, our treasure will be in Heaven.
3. Jesus Himself demonstrated humilty and compassion for others when He washed the feet of His disciples. We are called to be Christlike, as Christians, which means WE SHOULD DEMONSTRATE HIS OWN ACTIONS in our community around us! We have been called to be IN the world, but not OF the world!
2. Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. That is because most rich people will not sell their possessions and give the money to the poor. (Mark 10:21). Christians are called to to a higher purpose!
1. Jesus said that there are TWO RULES that Christians must follow: One is to love your neighbor as yourself and the other is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, and all your soul. These are the two things that Christians were commanded by the SON OF GOD to follow.
I'm done staying quiet while MAGAts fuck up and smear the name of Jesus Christ, the man I follow. So I am starting a thread where I say what I believe to be truth for all those who claim 'Christian' as their religion. Buckle up, this is going to be long. (1/?)
For every member of the US Armed Services who is helping the current regime to enforce their fascist ideals: FUCK. YOU. I do not respect you any longer, and if you were a true American, you would lay down your arms and walk away from the conflict Trump's administration is escalating.
unfortunately i really need to ask for $30 for the hotel. please please please help so we can stay housed.
I renamed myself, I think it best to wear my beliefs on my sleeve.
I’m sorry… this is hilarious 😭😭
