Today we drove past a church with a large board saying something like "Jesus will save you", and my son turned to me genuinely confused and said "Isn't Jesus dead?"

I think the fact that traditionally Jews couldn't practice usury on other Jews, nor Christians on other Christians, but each were allowed to practice on the other, leads - in a body of people composed largely of one group - to the other group being the usurers. This seems to end badly. My key take home point is that human beings are dickheads, and we need to be very, very careful when we lend capital that the borrower has a clear plan for repayment, understands the financial cost, and has a clear plan regarding how they'll create sufficient funds for repayment, and how we'll insure against failure in that regard on very clear, simply written terms that everyone is happy with.

People like this are why I still don't trust #OrganisedReligion. Claiming people with disabilities don't have strong enough faith? What is this utter nonsense? Seems to me that this pastor is not only #ableist but has no human decency. Christ would be appalled

Neuroqueering religion and the liberation of human spirituality

When considering normative violence and the oppression of marginalised people, there are no greater perpetrators than the Christian Church. Allow me to put this in perspective. My mother is a pries…

@The_Halfling hahaha yes. Same. I got a perfect visual memory score too —and I thought my memory was useless. I could spot tiny stuff like a minor shade change in cotton on a cotton reel!.

I'd be in bits too after a kill. I'm #vegetarian and working toward #vegan. I get upset if I accidentally hurt tiny bugs.

#EarlyReligion for the win. #OrganisedReligion in the bin.
