How would you differentiate Christianity from following Jesus? I think what we do, and this part pertains to our worldview, is to pick and choose the parts of Christianity that we like. We all have bad actors in our families, right, that we, well, maybe don't put them up front right away? But if we take the whole of the religion and we study it honestly, we understand that Christianity basically married empire with the Emperor Constantine and has never been able to separate itself from empire

ever since. So it doesn't mean that Christians can't follow Jesus, but I say it this way: you can be a Christian and follow Jesus, but it's very difficult.

Christian nationalism just lost in Hungary, even after being endorsed by Christian nationalism here in the United States.

This is a great win for both Christianity and democracy.

May we see this trend continue.

#Artemis II 🚀

Following their successful splashdown, the Artemis II crew gathered for a group portrait in the well deck of the USS John P. Murtha, positioned in front of Integrity, the Orion spacecraft they personally named.

Bunnies in a raft pull up next to a spaceship capsule, which has just splashed down and is floating in the open sea. Visible in the capsule, two bunnies wave at the ones in the boat.

Assimilation is a survival response of the colonized. It is an often-unconscious acquiescence to the order of things, a belief that accepting the power structures that exist might serve us better than resisting. It may appear voluntary, but it's as voluntary as scrambling to the roof of your house during a flood.

Picture of the book We Mend With Gold. Cover is light peach with the title words in red capital letters - one word per line staggered left and right. Four hands of different skin tone extend palm up, 2 on each side, with loops of gold held by the hands. The subtitle “An Immigrant Daughter’s Reckoning with American Christianity” is in gold at the top. The author’s name is in gold at the bottom.

Threatening and then backing off to keep the victim off balance, depriving medical care and finances are recognizable DV tactics. This is on a horrifying nationwide/global scale. Lack of empathy is another giveaway. How convenient for empathy to be called a sin.

"What we are seeing now on so many fronts is the fruit of an Evangelical theology/philosophy/epistemology that intentionally cannot exist in a pluralistic (real) world. It isn’t a “passion for the truth” it’s a passion for supremacy."

Okra. Vegetables shouldn’t leave slime trails.

Started listening to the audio of “Undoing Manifest Destiny” by L. Daniel Hawk. We need remedial history lessons to undo the lies/myths we were told.

Of The Empire We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness. - Mary Oliver

God of justice & mercy,
You are not the author of violence, nor do You delight in the suffering of the innocent.

You formed every life with care—from the streets of our own cities to the families of Iran—& declared them good.

Silence is just as complicit. There are no excuses.
