I have been glued to various news outlets like The Majority Report, Zeteo, Democracy Now!, The Katie Halper Show, etc, twitch streamers like Hasan Piker, & YouTubers who talk about Palestinians & all the fucked up shit that Israel is doing & has done since Oct 7th (& for nearly 80 years before that). I knew this would be very VERY bad for Palestinians but I didn’t know enough to know how bad. Now I know. I have known for over a year. I cry for Palestinians & for the families of the Israeli hostages since I know that the hostages will/have been killed by Israel, as well. I cry for Lebanon & every other people & country that Israel rains heinous hell on. I cry for the Israelis who may be in jail for refusing to serve in the IDF & want their evil government & their cruel, fucked up neighbors to stop killing people in Gaza & the West Bank! I cry for all Muslims, everyone from the Middle East (or have ancestry from there), & all Jewish people! What Israel is doing/has always done puts all three (sometimes overlapping) groups all over the world at risk! I have contacted government reps, donated, among other things that I thought would help.

At this point I am ashamed to say that I have very little hope. I know that economists, historians, & other experts say that Israel is in severe decline & will probably collapse within the next 20 years. But that doesn’t help the people in Gaza or Lebanon or anywhere else right NOW! People will continue to die right now. I hate Biden. I thought he was doing a decent job before Oct 7th, but now all I see is a monster. When he dropped out of the race, I was ready to kiss Nancy Pelosi’s feet & declare her the white savior of the decade! When Harris announced her candidacy, hope & excitement were exploding out of me! I thought Harris would be different, but it doesn’t sound like she will be.

Now all I am voting for when I checked the Harris box, is that maybe one Palestinian child (in Gaza or the West Bank) who would otherwise have been murdered under a trump presidency will survive. Maybe one person trying to make it over the USA border will succeed & live an ok life that would have otherwise not have been possible under a republican administration. Maybe one less person will die from pregnancy complications & be able to access the care that they need. That is what I am voting for at this point. I know it is cowardly & fucked up, but I just need someone to make it! I just want someone to survive!

When I think of American “Christians” or “The Church” (as in the people) regardless of denomination, there are 3 pictures that immediately come to mind.

The first is a white person foaming at the mouth, eyes popping out of their skulls, veins bulging, face red, holding signs up with the gay F word & how everyone is going to hell.

The second is basically every insane government representative that is obscenely racist & wants everyone with a uterus to have white babies or die.

The third is a charismatic pastor who lives in a mansion, hops on his private jet to get lunch with government representatives, buys every car or fancy suit he can, is sexually abusing every other child in the church, & abuses his wife on the regular when he isn’t cheating on her.

Whenever I see a post on any social media expressing why people ultimately left their church or stopped being Christian, there are SO many posts below by Christians like “I’m so sorry that happened to you! That isn’t how it is at my church!” “I mean, maybe don’t let people shape how you view Jesus?” “Find a new church! Don’t give up!” “We are all sinners! Church is exactly where those sinners are supposed to be! Jesus heals!” “Those aren’t real Christians! Find some real ones like me!” “This can’t be real, no pastor would ever do that!” “What denomination was that? I’ve heard bad things about…”

If #NotAllChristians, then I am really gonna need all the “real” or “good” or “Christ like” Christians to step the fuck up! I need them to match the absolute FREAK of the insane ones holding transphobic/homophobic signs! I need them foaming at the mouth in rainbow! Rainbow crosses! “Jesus was Ace/Aro” & “Jesus loves The Gays” signs! I need them to be counter protesting the crazies with bullhorns! I need the church go-getter, Debbie, to post a sign up sheet in the fellowship hall for counter protests, driving & protecting abortion patients, making meals for houseless people, ETC!! When a pastor is caught being a pedo, the church needs to come together & give their tithe to the affected families &/or services that help victims of sexual abuse! If the pastor doesn’t go to jail, then they need to tell him to get out & everyone at the church should be emailing him, texting, mail, flyers on his door, etc to get him to go to a place where they help pedos from hurting people! The congregation should never let that ex-pastor sleep or go outside until he checks himself into some sort of hospital or intervention program! Since Christians believe they are “stewards of the Earth”, they should be leading the charge on reversing climate change before we destroy “God’s gift to us” the earth!

If these evil freaks are not truly practicing “real Christianity” then PROVE IT. Let me SEE an example of “WWJD”! If The Church is a reflection of the Christian God then I don’t find that god worthy of praise, worship, love, or respect at all. If “real” Christians really “love” Jesus, then why are they letting evil bastards use his name in vain to champion their bigotry & hate?! If someone lies about your loved one spreading terrible ideas about them to everyone, don’t you want to shout from the rooftops about how that isn’t true?! Are you not upset that people are trying to push as many people away from what you believe is the only way to be spiritually saved by spreading lies?! Christians aren’t in a battle against “non-believers”, they are in a battle against their own kind who is actively trying to feel special by gatekeeping “salvation”! But they either don’t understand this, aren’t willing to fight for their god or his children, or are just quietly agreeing with the evil cruelty that their freak Christian kin are doing but don’t wanna be too loud about it!

My brother & I were listening to various JD Vance news interviews & we both had the same thought that he sounds SO much like those patient interview tapes you collect in Batman Arkham Asylum but just the Riddler ones! He is just so defensive & creepy! And because he says the journalist/interviewer’s name SO often, it feels like the Riddler not remembering his doctor’s name & I keep waiting for her to stop JD Vance to remind him “Mr. Vance, please call me Dr. Alvarez” or something!

“Harris cheated!! I KNOW it! She’s just a childless cat lady!! I’ll prove it to Gotham! I’ll prove that I am the smartest boy & that SHE is the weird one!!”
