nearly all the arguments for exclusionism amount to “but some of the people in the group i want to exclude are annoying”
like lol okay. yeah, some bisexual people and asexual people and polyamorous people and furries and kinksters are annoying. most humans are fucking annoying. deal with it or perish in debilitating isolation and political powerlessness
Truly hate the way “did this person do something that actually harmed someone” and “do they deserve to be unpersoned for it” are considered the same question
“Do you support [person]?” is the kind of binary question that comes out of an atomized social landscape where people do not get to practice thinking about how many kinds of support there are
@inneskeeper this seems relevant to your interests
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! SHE DOIBLES DOWN!
It is actually rare that I get shown stuff that could ACTUALLY be the spawning point of a new and proper named heresy within Holy Roman Catholicism.
“Jesus actually survived the crucifixion” is legitimately one of the most terrifyingly viable heretical traditions you could start. It fulfills the exact ramifications for a popular and overwhelming heresy: It supports and glorifies Christ’s strength (so powerful he could not die in a meaningful way), encouraging different theological philosophies and understandings of the source material, and is COMPLETELY RUINOUS about the WHOLE POINT of Jesus as the Lamb of God. He is destined to die to take on the sins of all humanity forever so we can br forgiven. The death and the resurrection of Christ after his journey into Hell for three days is cosmologically as important as the Trinity. It is one of the pivotal foundations of the entirety of the religion.
If Jesus didn’t die, he didn’t die for us. That changes a LOT of things. But it is at its root a heresy which is not anti-Christian and is instead just a completely irreconcilable veneration.
I love this woman. I need to encourage her to be like this.

Okay it’s been several hours and I’m still not even slightly over this.
Like, Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life, except the resurrection bit is metaphorical, because I’m too swole to actually die.”
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, but not really, for he made his only begotten son super fucking butch. Like, obviously way too butch to actually succumb to a little crucifying.”
“Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. The centurion said to him, ‘Jesus is too shredded to kill, he’s like the Terminator, nothing can take him out.’ Pilate sent Joseph away with nothing, for Jesus was indestructible.”
“The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified but absolutely did not die. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he was just taking a little nap. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He never died, you all really jumped the gun this time.’”
“The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men, but it would take an atomic bomb to kill him, he’ll be fine.”
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, for he shall be positively jacked, and for his swollage will enable him to bung the biggest rock he could lay his turkey-sized hands upon those that displease him. Amen.
anyone want to start a new branch of christianity with me? i’m calling it Unkillable Jesus
the thing I cannot get over about The Crown is how everyone they cast for these roles sounds and moves and behaves exactly like the people they’re portraying. I’m absolutely floored. elizabeth opens her mouth and I’m just in whiplash looking around for princess diana. dominic makes a face and I want to launch my drink at the tv because that’s my natural inclination whenever he-who-must-not-be-named is around. the casting agent for this show deserves all the awards.
Hey I stopped using tumblr for uhhhh 8 months, but I recently decided I missed it so hi, what’s happening?
Today in Amusing Middle English, I came across an adjective meaning “noble” or “lovely” or “beautiful”. It can also mean, in various contexts, “graceful,” “lush,” “splendid,” “mirthful,” or “majestic”.
