feized

As a queer Christian, I’ve struggled a LOT the past few years with my church family. I don’t want to be a part of a body of my brothers and sisters who are disgusted by me, you know? So I’ve wanted a new church for a while now, but I just never started looking. I live in the Bible Belt, I’m never going to be able to find an accepting church, right? It felt overwhelming. I didn’t know how to even START looking. And I know a lot of other people, whether LGBTQ or allies, find themselves in the same situation. That’s why I wanted to share THIS WEBSITE I found. It has a directory of (currently) 8,340 LGBTQ+ Affirming church congregations around the globe. I even found one, in my preferred denomination, only 20 minutes away from me. PLEASE spread this, I know I needed it, and other people might too.

hey an update to this, you also go to hell if you leave these as tips for your servers. It counts as deception, defrauding, dishonesty, being uncharitable, being high-minded (haughty, arrogant), withholding the truth, and if we wanted to get real deep at the soul, HYPOCRISY, because you’re chastising them for a “love of money” when you love and hoard your money so hard you couldn’t even part with a dollar tip and instead left fake money to trick them while you make your escape you shifty fuck.

Hey actually I have one MORE thing to say and that’s this: If you’re dropping this specific tract at places where poor families are likely to be, that adds an extra layer of shittiness to an already shitty thing to do. Like on top of the fact that you’re raunting poor people with fake money, the fact that you have the absolute gall to use Christs words about the rich is utterly fucking appalling, because you dropped it in a place you know no rich people are gonna be. The people that pick these up aren’t rich, and you know it. They don’t pick them up out of greed, and you know it. That’s WHY you dropped them in the parking lot of a food stamp office, a grocery store in a poor part of town, a food bank, the free clinic. It was to ensure someone who desperately needs money would see it and pick it up, so you could then chastise them for greed. You’d better haul ass to Church buddy because every time you drop one of these you wrack up a receipt of sins longer than my arm.

A friend of my got revenge on a church that did this. He used to work at a Denny’s in a tiny little town. And every Sunday after church, they’d have families coming in to eat. And leaving these shitty things around, instead of tips. Only the church was leaving their information on them, church name, address, etc. So my friend gathered a whole bunch of these up from other servers who had gotten them. And one Sunday, he went to services at the church, and left them all in the offering plate when it came around.

I hate this so much. That’s literally the opposite of what Jesus told us to do, you morons. What part of feed the hungry cure the sick and sell everything you have and give to the poor confused you? 

When Actual Christianity is too inconvenient bc your real god is capitalism

The Black students of MSD High in Parkland have finally been given the chance to speak out and surprise! They disagree with the platform being pushed by their white peers. Their flags are things we’ve (Black people online) been saying for weeks. Advocating for more police in schools and for a stronger police force is Shitty for Students of Color, particularly BLACK STUDENTS.
