fanart of jesus holding a hippo was not on my 2024 bingo card

jesus was human. sometimes it hits me and im incapable of thinking about anything else. jesus got blisters for walking barefoot & spent entire nights wide awake & got teary eyed while listening to people sing & joked around with his friends & was good with his hands & went swimming in the river when it got too hot & laughed so hard he cried & kissed his mother goodbye & liked when people played with his hair & was always kind to children & stopped to pet stray dogs & got grumpy when he was tired & wept for his life & asked to not be left alone & bled & loved & lived & died

do you guys think jesus, the son of a carpenter, smelt the wood of the cross & temporarily thought of home

Weird asl for my pastor to insinuate that nonbinary people are "living outside of God's will" by "determining who they are instead of letting God do it".

Hey man! Maybe shut up! Maybe realize that nonbinary people are beloved by God and aren't living outside of His will!

“The Gospels insist upon two antithetical truths which express the tragedy of the human condition: the first is that if you do not love you will not be alive; the second is that if you do love you will be killed. If you cannot love you remain self-enclosed and sterile, unable to create a future for yourself or others, unable to live. If, however, you do effectively love you will be a threat to the structures of domination upon which our human society rests, and you will be killed.”
