Dominionism, also Roman catholic integrationism, feels like a possibility which we are being lead to in our current political climate? Or maybe I’m just tweaking. It’s not even the preponderance in our society, but it’s being firmly set nonetheless. Such rule is reining, and it is very anti-pluralist—and so, it is against the people—and quite frankly, that in it of itself baffles me. Because the subjugating idea is based on Biblical religious ideas, but it has disproportionately become solely revolved around a cowardly presbyterian polity—I say those words in accordance to the north American government, because that seems to be what they wish to be—and their ideas of what the Bible stands for. Nothing more than a group of hate spewing, cruelty ridden, tit sucking, street whores, baked in the lime light.
Jesus did not tell us to be kind to each other. He told us to love each other radically. He demands us to forgive. He commands us to be lovers. To be someone so kind the world shakes. A slave woman, Hagar, was the first to name God, and she called him “the one who sees me.” Peter was filled with so much hope so often, he’d break down in tears. God was never a being who was good. God was the foundation for all goodness—a divine force in which all organic things live and breathe and move and sit. All of creation exists in and through God, and we view it in anthropomorphic terms as a form of metaphorical interpretation for the sake of understanding, a sense of comprehension. God was neoplatonic, but after constant review and construction of Christian theology in the medieval period predominantly, God became a projection of human ego and cultural identities somewhere into the sky and referred to as God. There was an ultimate paradigm shift, and the difference became that God was recreated in our image, albeit the most good, wise, powerful, but he was singular, rather than just being a world that was permeated with divine essence as to be a magical place where nature was sacred. The replication of humanity, the most ignorant scum, caused the earth to be stripped of the divine infusion and thought of simply as something to be acted upon, something to extract and gain profit over. God becoming subject means the world loses all of its value. The world has become seen and thought of through a nihilistic lens, and so, it is just something that can be destroyed the same way everything else can. God is not on a greater scale than humanity, humans are not on a greater scale than animals, animals are not on a greater scale than plants, and etc.. The primacy of divine will is a hoax—God doesn’t will goodness. Because everything he “wills” is discovered through human reason, for that morality can be twisted, and everything can be argued about. Divinity should be the reflection of God’s eternal nature, which is love and beauty and creation and protection. With the implication that something is good only because God wills it means that power is now sacred, which is detached from what is supposed to be human (emotions, love, hope), and if he’s just a bigger version of us, then whoever dominates must be a contender and is righteous. Fascism, because of this, is blessed by countless under Jesus’ name. Open a fucking bible?? If God isn’t being itself, then creation isn’t sacred—it’s just stuff. It is material, and it can be controlled. It brings about an ecocide and it burns. With the primacy of divine will, then goodness doesn’t need to make any kind of moral sense—it doesn’t need to be loving or wise—it just needs to be enforced. This is the version of Christianity that is violent and authoritarian and guuuuhhh
God is bigger than religion itself, in these ways. He tells Moses, by the burning bush, “I will be who or how or where I will be.” The Bible is NOT. a sort of encyclopedia in which the texts can be equipped and used as weapons. Every sentence is laced with love, even the wars, for they accompany heartbreak, harboring devotion, awakening compassion. A sin is a missed opportunity to act humanly. The fact we are given a choice between bad or good means we’re also allotted the capacity to know when we have chosen wrongly. So, love in service for others, for the benefit of others. Wash each other’s feet. Forgive your sibling more times than you can count. Devote yourself to your lover. If someone steals your coat, give them your robes and your tunics. With such a manner of life, how can one be dignified with others starving with bread hoarded in the baskets. Scarcity is a made up thing as to bring control—500 tons of food to be destroyed, and Jesus fed the masses with five loaves of bread and two small fish, and he fed each person until they were full and satisfied—until their cheeks were plump and their face rosy. The creator of the heavens obeys a carpenter!! God listens to a poor virgin. Dismantle the ideas that a philosopher cannot stray from thinkers and listen to the common laborer. The wise and educated to the simple and illiterate. Through all of this, Jesus was human. Flesh and blood, the walking human child of God. Imagine blistered feet from walking barefoot in the Middle East. Starved for 40 days and 40 nights, drinking nothing but wine. He’d sit with his friends and loved ones and sang and laughed and joked around. He wept for his life. He swam in rivers when it was too hot. He’d get grumpy when he was tired. He kissed his mother goodbye. He was kind to children and pet stray animals. He asked not to he left alone. He bled. He lived. He loved. And he died.
