    • Matthew 19:12, Jesus defends there are eunuchs for heaven
    • Acts 8:26-40, a eunuch travels from Ethiopia and is baptized with no questions from Phillip
    • People like Sarai/Sarah, Abram/Abraham, Simon/Peter, Jacob/Israel change their names to align with God
    • Galatians 3:28 calls Christians to see the dissolutions of opposites into God/Christ

    I’ll also add that more Christians don’t take seriously Matthew 25:31, John 13:34, or James 2:16. If this really is a Christian nation, then you should feel armored by your faith. If/when your family is harmed, quote these verses over and over at them.

    for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’

    This is explicitly mentioned in the parable of sheep & goats. The sheep aren’t saved because they told immigrants to go home, or they built anti-unhoused spaces in public, or were proud of sending people to jail. These behaviors are what send you to “eternal fire” in so far as you believe that.

    I’m a Unitarian Universalist. I spent a lot of time not believing in God. I’m nonbinary with an X marker. I am worried. But if my potential captors actually believe this book, then I plan to cite Christ until they listen to the words.

    1 John 4:8

    Whoever does not know love does not know God, because God is love.

    Amen & Ashe. ☮️ & 💜












  • I think this is the same shift for Republicans post-Obama. Every Republican started saying, “I’m an independent.” and the Tea Party started. Back then, Trump’s claim to fame was the birther movement, which eventually became MAGA & the presidential run.

    Nowadays, I have very little respect or identification with Democrats. It feels like a failed party. I think they’ll either transform more left (see Bernie & AOC’s shifts & populism) or die out to something else. I like the Working Families Party because it focuses on the economic disparities rather than identity politics.

    I’m glad we found more freedom for more people, but I think the Left has lost cohesion in doing so. We don’t need to all be the same, but the message used to be “Working class vs. Rich” and the Right manipulated that into its current populism. Now there’s the “Liberal Elites” that are out of touch, and recent events make it feel that way, not just propaganda any longer.
