And OK, the extended dance remix for people who are doubling down on the "but they're not real Christians."

Friends.

It's true that y'all have St. Francis and all the Theresas and Julians, Dr. King, James Cone, Delores S. Williams, Merton, so many other greats before & since.

It's all there. It's all Christianity. It's all the work of Christians. You, lone, irritated individual person, do not get to be the sole arbiter of who is and who is not a true, authentic follower of Jesus, I'm sorry.

My dead ancestors were murdered by Christians. Own that.

I am not going to weigh in on who Jesus was or what he did or did not teach.

But I am telling you that the white supremacist Christian nationalists trying to ban contraception right now are reading the same texts that you are. And you have to deal with that in a real way.

When you say, "oh, those weren't Christians," it's a way for you to dismiss the fact that you are part of a significant world and national hegemony that has had real implications and consequences for many of us.

It's a way to pretend you don't have privilege that you do have.
