When I was in Boston this weekend I took my friend to Copley Square because it has, in my experience, two of the most beautiful churches in the country. Outside of Old South Church (a United Church of Christ church), there was this sign. Big. And it was amazing how great I felt to see Trans on there. I imagine it would be the same for someone who was homeless or a recovering addict or bisexual or something else that people often judge you for - or who had an identity that has made other religious communities abandon you or shame you. It also wasn’t just listed with things that are “problems” or difficult. It was listed with Male and Female, with Nerd and Cool Kid… I just think this sign is so powerful and I wanted to share it with everyone.
I like the idea of a church saying directly and publicly “Hey you’re trans (and this and this and that) and you’re ‘beloved.’”
I wish more people would realize that this is the actual message Christ tried to convey.
Haha I’m a little choked up at this, damn PMS
Jesus was good friends with a man named Mathew. Who was Mathew? A MOTHERFUCKING TAX COLLECTOR. These guys were the equivalent of the SS, the Gestapo, or whoever else you want to compare them to, of the olden times.
He also had it in for a concubine (hooker, whore, rake, hoe, same thing) named Mary Magdalene. He was also the descendant of another concubine (I’m not shitting you, look it up). Yeah, let that sink in for a moment.
All of this
God has nothing but love for everyone.
